OEM Volvo Alternator

  • Noise:
Rating 4.0

Maintenance I do oil every 10k km including all filters except fuel filter (every 2nd oil change). Basically never burns any oil, didn’t have to fill up at all. Only alternator broke down in extreme heat at 150k km but that’s expected.

Pros: never burns any oil
Cons: alternator broke down
Vehicle: Volvo V60
Mileage: 10000 km

Toyo Tires

  • Noise:
Rating 5.0

I drive my 240 daily to my job at a ski resort in the Rockies. I've had a number of different snow tires and really like my current Toyo Observe G-3's with studs. 2x 80lb sandbags in the trunk and it's a great performer, very predictable. The Toyo's are quiet as well.

Pros: great performer, very predictable
Cons: none
Vehicle: Volvo

OEM Volvo Windshield

  • Clarity:
  • Chips/cracks:
Rating 4.5

We told Safelite it had to be OEM/Volvo windshield due to the vehicle being a lease. We paid our $50 glass deductible and they replaced it with OEM as we requested. They also calibrated everything in house at their shop. Pretty smooth process!

Pros: OEM as requested, smooth process
Vehicle: Volvo

  • Overheating:
Rating 5.0

It’s now got an 85°c Mishimoto thermostat. Took it out today and got it up to temp and did multiple 0-85mph pulls. The new thermostat opens at 85°C/185°F. Under load the coolant never registered above 197°F!!!!

Pros: coolant stable, low temperature

The XC40 is alright but it doesn't have the towing tech (it uses a semi-electric towbar while the competition use fully electric ones)

Cons: semi-electric towbar lacks tech

Bosch Alternator

I bought an aftermarket bosch alternator, (new not refurbished) and after installing the pulley to 80NM (black part), I noticed a wobble and a brushing sound. The original alternator does not have this brushing sound.

Cons: wobble, brushing sound
