Brake Discs
Hi everyone,
Appear to have some extreme warp on my front discs on my 2004 xc90 d5 Any recommendations on discs? Seen a pair of Mintex on eBay for £80 which looks a deal compared to £150 for genuine ? Thanks Rob |

I’m on my third XC90 and with the second it needed new discs when we bought it and the dealer fitted non genuine, they showed signs of warping and had a very noticeable lip by 25k miles at that point I swapped them for genuine and they went on till we sold the car covering at least 50k miles. I have also just replaced the ones on our current XC90 with genuine ones and I got them via a dealer on eBay with pads for a dry good price of £175 all in. |
+1 for genuine from an eBay listing from a pukka Volvo dealer. (Caffyns Eastbourne)
They had a special deal on at the time and I bought front discs and pads, (£167.40 + £11.50 p & p) and, while I was at it, rear discs, pads and shoes and adjusters (£198.32 + £9.99 p & p) Fronts were changed at the time (2 years ago) rears are still OK but, when needed, I'm ready. Cheers Dave |
Volvo still cast their own discs for the XC90, if you buy genuine you will notice they are made in Sweden. There are so many poor quality pattern parts around made from melted down washing machines and Fiat Panda's (including Mintex of which I have personal experience). Genuine discs are the only way you know they will be okay. Your XC90 weighs 2.3 tons and is very hard on brakes.
Every couple of months we get new members on here with brake problems which are eventually cured by fitting new, genuine parts. |
As others have said, I agree to sticking with genuine.
I fitted Pagid to my car, as I’ve used them in the past on other vehicles. They’re warped already… wish I spent the extra & went genuine the first time around. Lesson learned. |
+1 for genuine. The non-Volvo ones just warp. You'll have to take them off again, like I did.
