Jun 15, 2022 · The 2012 S60 has the same problem. It's not just the 2013 up. I've had major oil consumption issues but I do my own maintenance and I don't take it to a dealer. I don't feel like being reamed by a dealer and have to driver 50+ miles just to have a Volvo dealer do maintenance. Volvo probably won't help in my case.

Dec 22, 2022 · i drop off my xc90 at late afternoon, took a rental car, and 2nd day in the morning, they called me back to pick it up. from the volvo app history, i saw my car only stayed inside their workshop for less 30m. and they drove 2 miles to test and make sure everything is ok. i guess its common enough so they dont need to do troubleshooting at all.

Apr 9, 2023 · Unfortunately, there aren't many other luxury hybrids to compare to, but still, Volvo is so far behind these mainstream brands.

Say if you buy a CPO MY2022 Volvo that was sold on December 16, 2022. You would have warranty until December 16, 2027 as standard and upgradable to December 16, 2032. Pretty great option TBH. Get something with 5-10K miles and …

As for a fun cheap project get a volvo 740/940 turbo. 760/780/240 are also good options if they have the turbo engine. 1990+ is the better years for mods, 1992.5+ is the best. Easy to work on, easy to get mild power gains from, rear wheel drive with factory locker, tough body, usually leather interior, automatic transmission can take quite a ...

Aug 18, 2018 · Engine oil should absolutely NOT be done every 12k miles. Try about half that, 5-7k if using synthetic, 10k at the absolute worst but its not recommended.

Sep 8, 2023 · This won’t necessarily show up on a PPI (mine didn’t) so you will need to check the vin and make sure the car was manufactured either after Volvo changed the faulty pistons or see if the previous owner had the pistons replaced preemptively.
