I have a 2009 C30 with 80k miles and I just did the timing belt and serpentine belts. The timing belt had noticeable cracks and the tensioner was pretty worn out. Better to get it done and spend the money now than have it snap and have a bricked car.
For my 2016 V60 I only spend about $500. Also depending on your rotors and pads, there's no need to do both front and rear together.
I replaced the front pads myself after 25,000 miles (was 2 years ago), it cost me under $200, including all the necessary tools and original Volvo pads.
They ordered Volvo windshields and did my recalibrations. I haven't noticed any issues.
I replaced the original thermostat in my Volvo (2006) last summer at 186k miles
Canada here: paid around $700 CAD for rear brake pads and rotors at Canadian Tire back in May for my 2008 V70.
I took my XC40 to a local mechanic who only works on Volvo's and Saab vehicles and the cost for brakes, rotors, and oil change was $1200.
Try this shit on a Volvo, the freaking worst
I have a 2019 XC40 and kept having brake issues - they ended up replacing the pads and rotors… at less than 15k miles. I continue to have issues (now it’s nothing serious, just a very loud obnoxious squeal)
Volvos seem to eat brakes. My xc60 is horrible on brakes.
