Maintenance Care and Commonly Reported Repairs

Although Volvo publishes a chart detailing models, years, and service points, a general rule of thumb is to bring your automobile in for service every 7,500 miles or once per year, whichever milestone occurs first. General preventive points include oil and filter change, air filter replacement, tire and pressure monitoring, brake inspection, and a battery check. Performed at intervals of greater length, additional services include brake fluid change, spark plug exchange, and inspection of all major components and systems. Typical repairs for Volvos are in keeping with those one might find in any manufacturer’s brand. Owners report, and we see oil leaks and sometimes sludge/clogs, particularly if the car hasn’t had appropriate oil changes. A bad temperature sensor is often the underlying cause of air conditioner malfunction, keeping the vehicle from producing sufficiently cold air (or perhaps even blowing warm air). Headlight replacement is another common repair because Volvo lamps tend to burn out sooner than other manufacturers. Another general complaint is unfounded dashboard warning lamp illuminations. A bad sensor sometimes triggers these, but you shouldn’t ignore them. Let us check your car to ensure the warning light is a false alarm, not a genuine issue. Relevant to particular models, there are some noteworthy specific problems. For example, the 240 is prone to blown fuses, while the V70 exhibits transmission trouble because of a gearbox that causes improper gear shifting. S60 drivers complain of power steering fluid leaks. Cooling fans (related to both the cooling system and creature comfort) seem to sometimes give difficulties in the XC60. Finally, the XC 90 model’s transmission may present a problem at about 100,000 miles, and this same car more frequently shows premature tire wear.
