That advise caused to AWD unit to run out of oil and self destruct. total spend to date is around 7,900.00 and still costing. Volvo dont want to know, stratstone dont care and motorworld havent a clue what planet they should be on. Also today the alternator has gone costing another 800.00. worst car ever produced and backup from volvo = non existant. Cheaper to run a helicopter than these. Beware of high labour charges from dealers also. They love to rack up the bills. If anyone is considering buying one, DONT, but a bmw instead.

Well my XC90 has never been off the road unlike my neighbours BMW X5, and do BMW do a seven seater anyway?
There is an AWD XC 70 on the club web site that has about 750,000 miles on it so the system can't be that bad.
Volvo have the best record of any manufacturer for honouring warrenty claims according to some one, honest john I think.
I'd give up being a Volvo specialist if I had your views.
