I've had several pipes burst, even had the car taken in on the back of a lorry for one. I love many things about the car, but really do not like the engine.
You have to ask yourself:
1. Why has the PP engine only been in production for 3 years before being replaced?
2. Why do Volvo specifically not cover hoses in their extended warranty?
3. And maybe why had BMW, JLR, Merc etc. all continued to offer stronger 6 cylinder engines in all their larger cars.
I think the XC90 was pretty revolutionary for Volvo, and turned the company around, but the engine will never go down in history as one of their greats!
