PEAK Antifreeze
CarobAffectionate582
  • Temperature stability:
Rating 5.0

Using an AMAM coolant (typically yellow - “All Makes, All Models”) is the safest thing you can do. It has none of the nitrites, borates, silicates, etc. that can cause issues in various systems. It’s really one coolant that works everywhere. Peak 10X is a solid choice in that realm.

Pros: safest, no harmful additives, works everywhere, solid choice
Vehicle: Volvo V70 III

Bosch Alternator

Well I definitely wouldn't have gone aftermarket but I understand you might have been in a pickle

https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/volvo-alternator-bosch-al157x?ads_cmpid=21619732995

As far as why it's not working at all, you need very good clean connections including good ground connections everywhere

Pros: good clean connections needed
Vehicle: Volvo
Part number: AL157X

Zimmermann Brake discs

I use Zimmerman rotors on my XC60 and her BMW. Excellent bang for buck in my opinion. Don’t like brembo pads for the dust, use Akebono on BMW, Alebono or Volvo pads on Volvo for dust control.

Pros: excellent bang for buck, good dust control
Cons: Brembo pads dusty
Vehicle: Volvo XC60

MICHELIN Tires
SnowSandSki
  • Grip:
  • Noise:
Rating 5.0

I had these on my V90 for 3 years. Fantastic all-season tire that worked great in the snow during ski trips. Pretty quite at highway and wore great. If not driving in snow/ice I think it's overkill but 100% would buy again.

Pros: fantastic all-season tire, wore great
Cons: overkill if not snow
Vehicle: Volvo V90

MAGNETI MARELLI Throttle body

I’m starting to suspect the throttle body itself (Italian-made Magneti Marelli) might be the culprit and is simply worn out. I’ve already ordered a new one, so I’ll see if that makes a difference.

Cons: worn out
Vehicle: Volvo S80

Brembo Brake pads
Crymore68
  • Braking:
  • Dust:
Rating 3.0

I put some Brembo prime pads on my S80 I had them on before and were pretty solid, until they were about 80% worn and braking performance fell off a cliff Put new prime pads all round and for the first 2k miles they were amazing, very sharp brake feel but again performance started to degraded noticeably From cold they're crap, after about 5 minutes of driving when they warm up they bite as they should, also dust like mad, I left a 3 star review on AutoDoc and they gave me a full refund citing this could be a potential warranty issue, although I reckon that's them not wanting bad reviews on their site I'm probably going to go for Bosch next as that's the OEM Volvo use

Pros: sharp brake feel initially
Cons: poor cold performance, excessive dust
Vehicle: Volvo S80
Mileage: 2000 km

OEM Volvo Rear view camera
jonnychi
  • Low delay:
Rating 1.5

I took my brand new 2025 XC40 Ultra in for a voluntary safety recall for an intermittent rear view camera not available issue this Friday morning. The software update failed, they gave me no explanation, and now my car is in the shop until at least Monday with no reassurance when I’ll get it back. The software and support has been disappointing to say the least.

Cons: rear view camera intermittent, software update failed
Vehicle: Volvo
