I like the set of firestone winterforce I just put on our XC70 this year so far. Took them out on snow/ice a few times so far and they feel like I would expect any dedicated winter tire to feel. What took me by surprise is how they drive in the dry... perfectly reasonable handling/braking and reasonable road noise for a winter tire. These actually handle and brake better in the dry than bridgestone weatherpeaks.
Volvo parts reviews
In my instance the replacement of the part in Sept this year has stopped the noise completely.
In my instance, Volvo identified the clicking to be coming from NSF Drive Shaft and they replaced part no VO36013244 axle shaft, which was the left axle. This was completed in early September this year and the clicking/flapping noise disappeared. I do still feel vibration when flooring it but I can't hear that same noise.
I tried to replace the whole mirror on my 2006 S80 but got codes for the alarm system and the key fob would no longer work. It's because there is an antenna built into the mirror which is coded to the key (I suppose). Anyway, I found a good mirror at the salvage yard and disassembled it, figuring out how to not break anything on mine. The transplant was successful and I had zero errors/codes to deal with, nor any wiring issues.
My Volvo dealer wanted $200 to replace the cabin air filter and I declined, claiming it was a "$20 part and 10 minutes of labor. " It turns out I was wrong, it was a $22 part and 5 minutes of labor.
The exact same starter from Bosch (original manufacturer for Volvo) which is what a shop would sell you because it’s the OE for Volvo is 216.99.
I have a 2020 XC60 with 70K miles and it's been relatively trouble free. I did have to replace the front brake rotors last summer and that has been the extent of repairs so far.

I had an 850R. It was great. However, two issues: the brakes were shit when they are hot (scarily so: I had a real squeaky bum moment when I tried to brake for a roundabout when I had be driving in an, er, *spirited* fashion*.* I mentioned this to a traffic cop and he said they always upgraded the brakes on 850s). However, unless you drive like a lunatic, I wouldn't have thought this was a major issue.
I replaced a bad fuel injector last year on cyl 5 with a Bosch unit, ordered through FCP Euro as to not get a counterfeit. I removed/tested/cleaned all 5 original injectors and confirmed cyl 5 injector was dead.
Had message just like that on 2010 S60 D3.
Turned out to be faulty turbocharger and a bonus of clogged DPF.
