I took my car in for a 100 000 service. At 106000 there is a major fault that is now costing me R2900.00. I drove up to volvo and without even looking at the car or asking me what the problem is the service attendant could identify the problem. So 6000km after a service then a major fault.Warning to all volvo owners insist that the oil seal, that breaks after the 100 000 km mark, be replaced while your car is still under warranty.
Their response is that this is normal. you just do not know what is going to break next. and the fault could not be identified at the previous service HOWEVER the quick diagnostic made is an indication that the car has a flaw with regards to this oil seal.

My issue: if they know this happens why not proactively replace the part at 100 000. Sadly disappointed in a Brand and Service i.e. I hate Volvo!

Is Volvo the new Yugo? We replaced the SRS sensor module in our Volvo in 2007. We purchased a new Volvo part and the shop that did the work was a well-regarded and highly-rated Volvo-only shop that has been in business for 22 years. The part failed after two years. Both the shop and we contacted Volvo regarding replacement of the defective part (the part alone is about $550 and installation is another $150). Volvo refuses to stand behind its product. How can a $550 part be good for only two years? We are appalled. Next time, we buy a Honda or a Toyota.

Never liked Volvo after having an S40. Leased it, the service was weak
and after the lease expired and I returned the car, the dealership
failed to inspect the car when I dropped it off. The S40 was
sideswiped and the dealership claimed it was us. Complete nonsense that lasted almost a year.

them that they were added to the deadbeat list!
