I've heard similar stories about the late 5-cylinder motors. Faulty piston rings. One would think though that by now those cars with faulty piston rings have already been flushed out and engines rebuilt/replaced?

Also keep in mind that regardless of the flavor, T5, T6 or 3.2, any of them that haven't been maintained will suffer in similar fashion. These things do not respond well to skipped oil changes! Look for meticulous service records.

Press your Volvo shop as to why the T6 and not the normally aspirated 3.2 6-cylinder. That could expand the pool.

Best of luck,
Will
