• I believe the 4wd volvos of that vintage have a tendency to shit centre diffs.. A friend had a relatively new XC70 which dropped the drivetrain onto the road in the middle of nowhere.

    The aisin auto boxes in that period of volvos are not part of the volvo service schedule with the usual results. I drained the fluid at 70,000 miles on my s60 and it was black and smelt burnt.

  • Interesting thanks, I'm not sure which box it has, the XC90 is a newer car (2013). I don't mind changing the trans fluid as a precaution.

    The only other common issue i can find is injectors on the diesels which cost 1200gbp to replace
