Service interval
 

I have a MY2015 XC60, D4204T5 engine (as obtained through VIDA).

I'm due my 5th service now at ~57000 .

The first 3 appear to have been carried out by Doves Volvo in Preston at 9425, 22417 and 33683 respectively.
It was serviced (4th) prior to my buying the car at 46865 by the car dealership.

My local Volvo dealership (Sheffield) have quoted £860 for the 5th ("full manufacturers") service. The high cost was explained through using genuine parts, VAT, a health check and the need for both cambelt and aux belt to be replaced.

The maintenance service schedule here, states that the aux belt and timing belt, and associated tensioners and pulleys, don't need replacing until 10 years or 144,000 miles on Volvo S60, V60, XC60 D4 181 hp D4204T5, made / sold in 2014, 2015. Am I right in thinking they've probably quoted me for a D5, which I've read on here needs these replacing at 56000?

As the 4th service wasn't carried out by Volvo, and it no longer has any warranty, is there any point in having a main dealer do this service? I'm not sure how confident I am in the Sheffield branch anyway - either they don't know there own service schedules, or they're banking on me not checking and quite happy to fleece me.

Assuming I have it serviced by a local indy Volvo garage (recommendations around South Yorks welcome :)), will the main dealer still offer system updates? I assume there will be a charge involved with this? What are the chances of the local indy garage being able to supply any updates?

TIA, Dave

The VEA engine cambelt change used to be 108k or 10 years. Now revised down to 90k or 10 years whichever comes soonest.

Either way, it's not due yet then :rolleyes:

Software updates you should get them all included with the service at main dealer, but possibly not at independents and 12 months Volvo on call.... shop around and ring a few others might get it down significantly lower

It does look like it.

As already said, the VEA cam belt replacement has been reduced to 90k miles (still 10 years).

I'll speak with Doncaster and Chesterfield Volvo then, and see what they quote.

If I go via an independent, will the dealer still do software updates for me, at a cost?

Are there any links anywhere, other than the one that I referred to, which show the relevant service interval? Where is it started that VEA engines are now 90k/10 years? I'm not doubting anyone, I just want to be well informed for when I speak to Volvo 😉.

Coming up as 4yr 72k service £470 at doves Preston £440 at Huddersfield

When the time comes it makes sense to get both the Cam belt kit and Aux belt kit done at the same time. Start saving!

I think they are quoting you for their staff Christmas Party because the cambelt is not due at that age or mileage....

My 5 year service is coming up early next year and the Volvo website is quoting a whopping £895... Presumably because it also assumes my car is on 90k miles and needs a cambelt change. However I assume I can have this task removed as my car is someway below that mileage?
