Volvo XC60 parts reviews

I just replaced my 2012 Volvo XC 60 battery. The car has 155k miles and the battery lasted for over 13 yrs. I drive in cold weather for over 6months/yr.

I bought the Yokohama BlueEarth winter tires. They worked great. They also meet the traction requirements for things like mountain passes. I didn't notice any change in gas mileage. During COVID we weren't driving much so I just left them on all year and didn't have any issues.

a very good 6 speed automatic transmission

My XC60 wipers work perfectly before and after a windscreen change.

If you can find the Bosch Aerotwin for your model, they're fantastic and far better than the Volvo blades. I dealt with the streaking for a couple years until I switched.

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.

First highway trip on my 2018 XC60, got a chip on the windshield. Replaced by the dealer with $500 deductible.

I recently had the brakes done on my 2016 XC 60 by my long-term mechanic. It was all four corners with pads and rotors. He charged $1300 Canadian (950 USD).

This was a new genuine Volvo alternator I had Volvo put in, not a cheap or rebuilt part. Also, the battery is only about a year old. Could this really be a failing alternator or could something else be going on?

Volvos seem to eat brakes. My xc60 is horrible on brakes.
