OEM Volvo Thermostat

This happened to my 2012 XC60 RD T6, I changed all six and within 4 months 4 more coils burn up/melted. It ended up being a bad/faulty thermostat. Change the thermostat and no more issues!

Pros: no more issues
Cons: coils burn up/melted
Vehicle: Volvo XC60

MICHELIN Tires

  • Ride comfort:
Rating 4.0

I have CC2s on my Volvo XC90. So far I've put 45k miles and anticipate replacing them after another 10k or so. The thing I really like about Michelin tires is that they are so consistent right to the end.

Pros: very consistent
Vehicle: Volvo XC90
Mileage: 45000 km

OEM Volvo Oil pan

Rating 4.0

I got one in 2018 used ofc. Spent its entire life in the Nevada desert being driven by a maniac Russian. But he took care of it so I went for it. $5k and 100k miles. She's close to 200k now and has only ever not started one time, cuz of the famous sticky immobilizer. Just knocked the relay around and it started up. Only repairs have been the standard maintenance like brakes, tires, oil, struts when I first got it etc. I did crack the oil pan recently but that was my own fault, big dip in the road, too fast, too dark, raining, low car, you know the deal. Still drove it around for 3 days before I noticed, lost about a quart of oil slow dripping. Hairline crack on the corner. Fixed that for a few hundred bucks. I've driven across the US in it, it's reliable as can be. After changing the oil pan, and therefore all the oil and coolant, it runs like brand new. Inline 5 is bulletproof. Most of its common issues are pretty minor and easily preventable like the sunroof drain, PCV, compressor clutch, etc.

Pros: reliable as can be
Cons: sticky immobilizer, cracked oil pan
Vehicle: Volvo C30

  • Braking:
Rating 4.5

I went with TRW Ultra ceramic pads and Zimmerman rotors from FCP Euro for my S90. It was a big upgrade from OEM in my experience.

Pros: big upgrade from OEM
Vehicle: Volvo S90

OEM Volvo Brake pads

My only problem with it is the turning radius. The brakes aren't what they should be IMO for triple digit speeds but it is rare I drove at such speed being located in the USA.

Pros: reasonable maintenance costs
Cons: poor turning radius
Vehicle: Volvo S60
