The V8s are good. I've had 2 pulleys/bearings go bad. The second failed completely, dropping the aux belt and damaging the timing cover. If you hear any weird noises from the engine bay, check your pulleys.

They're also not as bad on fuel as you'd expect. I've regularly seen 25mpg+ on a good run.

ABS modules and siren modules always fail, but are relatively cheap & easy to replace. Alternators also seem to be a weak point and are _really_ awkward to get to.

Pros: good fuel economy
Cons: alternators awkward to get

Maintenance I do oil every 10k km including all filters except fuel filter (every 2nd oil change). Basically never burns any oil, didn’t have to fill up at all. Only alternator broke down in extreme heat at 150k km but that’s expected.

Pros: never burns any oil
Cons: alternator broke down

+1 for Denso. Friend of mine got a used Mitsubishi alternator for his Murano with slightly higher Amp rating (doesn't matter, just means it will handle load better).

Pros: handle load better
Vehicle: Nissan Murano

Next and least expensive, would be to buy a new alternator from Volvo and have them install it. It could be that there is a known issue with the alternator that you put on there if it's not from Volvo.

I have one with 44k miles sitting in the garage right now with a bad TPS and an oil leak. 

The last drive down the street saw me with a dead alternator and blown alternator fuse. Replacing those two resulted in the above surprises afterwards. 

Even replacing the alternator is a half day knuckle busting job assuming you know what you are doing.

Cons: bad TPS, oil leak

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?

Pros: new genuine part
Cons: failing to charge
