don't know about d13...have d12 and it's a good engine..well ERGs suck big time..but name one new engine without emission control problems..
NO on warranty on NEW truck it's unusual...maybe just 4 me... but sounds fishy....had run new dd15(had it at shop ones a month) with 0 mls on it..the engine was smelly 4 a month..as all the oil and stuff were burning out of it..don't all new engines smell? maybe it's the problem?and there is nothing to fix under the warranty...and volvo's engines don't do hills well even when all good.don't buy truck with o mls on it..it can has many bugs in it...300000mls should kill half of them..))
Stay away from Volvo!!

Example 2 - Most Volvo's I see at the truck stops have coolant overflow probs, mostly because of the injector cups. Try to go to Volvo and claim injector cups on this case. They will try to sale you the BS that you need a general computer test under running engine to suck up 3 hrs of labor. Then comes the rad flash etc because your rad might be clogged even if your truck is new and have coolant filters. Right there you are $450.00 out of pocket plus taxes. I don't need to tell you more. Average Volvo truck costs our company more than 15k in repairs at the dealer. Some repairs can be done outside the Volvo umbrella Luckily. Vovlo mechanics have that dr. alike behavior with latex gloves and unnecessary gadgets. Well the computer said that and that and that; no more brains or common sense. For them if the computer gives out and EGR fault code they want to replace your EGR valve and your EGR cooler. Sometimes it is just the harness connector to the EGR valve, sometimes it is just a leaking hose or rubber oRing or a bracket on the EGR cooler and/or surrounding pipes. Please do not scorn of a driver trying to earn its life with a bad truck added with a bad representation. You will find that Volvo dealers in Canada are booking 2 weeks ahead now.
