XC90 extended warranty

[Tony Harrison]

Just seen Volvocamper's reply. 100% contribution is even better but if you pay even a small amount yourself, the part is guaranteed.

I had no extended warranty but the arranged with Volvo a good-will gesture (2nd XC90 admittedly and full Volvo SH on both) but I was amazed and relieved the goodwill gesture was 100% from Volvo. They said it is a known issue and tech said replacement part had now been redesigned. This is one of the reasons I ordered my 3rd XC90 which will be here in 2-3 weeks time now, not only reason though, i like driving it, is very comfortable, tows 2000kg caravan extremely well but I think XC90’s just look ‘right’ from every angle.

Yep, agree, in my experience Volvo have been very good at fixing known issues, but I still thought it was worth pointing out re. the warranty. I guess you only need one awkward dealer who doesn't fight your corner! Also agree with you on the looks of the XC90, I'm on my second SPA, and only the other day was thinking how fresh it still looks for a vehicle which has been in production for I think nearly 7 years now.
