Reviews of OEM Volvo parts For Business

Exactly 12 months on my 19 S60 blades. So far still good.

I had a 2004 Volvo s60 with a battery that lasted 15 years before I changed it. The mechanics were impressed. Really helped that it was located in the trunk.

I miss our XC90 V8 (that needed new valve cover gaskets) every day.

Having had one for a little over a decade now, my experience has been that the engine itself is generally quite reliable. As someone else said, valve cover gaskets can and do leak and when they do, they are likely to take out the alternator which is a massive pain to replace as it is sandwiched between the block and the fire wall.

I know I’m in the UK but a Volvo dealership changed the timing belt, auxiliary belt and kit last year on my V60 D5 and I had change from £300.

While the blades weren’t great, they were skipping across the windshield, especially in lighter rain. The tension was WAY off and after the tech adjusted it, I’ve been pretty solid the last 8 months. It works with the washer fluid or a car wash just fine.

Replaced the blades and nothing changed. Got through one winter of ridiculous streaking and brought the issue up again with the dealer. They replaced both wipers fully under warranty and in rain the streaking is gone.

My 2022 S60 had warped rotors at 12,000 miles. They replaced the front rotors under warranty. Just had the back rotors replaced at 20,000 mi and they tried to say I was driving it like a race car. They did eventually cover the rear pads when I protested.

I got this message when the mechanic replaced my alternator with a non-OEM unit that didn't have a voltage regulator.

Unfortunately due to stupid decisions at Volvo Xc40 lacks of one of best features of larger brothers. Headlights don't turn. As per Volvo it's a small economy level car.
