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!
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.
For my older volvo I used zimmermans and they were good. I think they are german brand.
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.
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.
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.
Within the first 2 weeks of receiving my car, while driving on the highway, I heard a pop noise on my windshield. A few hours later, A small hairline crack developed from the edge of my windsheild, and has since extended halfway across my windshield.
Yokohama sucks. There's a reason a lot of cars come with them. Cheap. Don't last.
