Avoid the NGK’s Bosch or “Volvo” (also Bosch) plugs are way better than the NGK’s.
Volvo parts reviews
The tires have probably 10k miles on them? They are Firestone Firehawk A/S V2s, so decent sporty all seasons. They are pretty decent I’d say.
Ca alternative, recomand Hankook. Eu am de vara cu clasa A la aderență pe drum umed si 69DB ca zgomot. Sincer, își merită toți banii.
2013 Volvo XC 90. Owned since new, only used Penzoil Euro L formulation, all synthetic, 10W-30 and 143K miles later I had to get rid of her because I left the country. No engine issues at all.
I replaced my stock blackstone a few months ago with a Nissens from Rockauto. I am happy with it.
I buy parts from them for my Volvo. Even with the cost of freight , it's miles cheaper.
I'd even recently done the timing belt and it had 2 sets of wheels with Continental tires.
Next and least expensive, would be to buy a new alternator from Volvo and have them install it. It could be that there is a known issue with the alternator that you put on there if it's not from Volvo.
Definitely get that starter -- even the OEM new Bosch ones suck
I forced him to take it to my current indy Volvo garage and they gave him a huge lost of everything wrong with it, including a timing belt and fan belt. It had the distinctive whisp/chirp of worn belts.
