Caliper bolts are not TTY. They just have an angular torque setting, as do many other non-TTY bolts. Volvo may recommend you replace, but not due to plastic deformation.
Some TTY bolts may be reused (up to x times). Landrover 300 Tdi head bolts got 4 uses according to the factory manual. |

Hello dambat, Volvo say they are when I enquired however personally I would never reuse any TTY bolt ... why?
The main issue is with TTY bolts is that once you reach that Yield Point and return back to the elastic region, youve changed the crystal properties inside the steel and its permanently deformed, visually depending on the fastener used it can be obvious, others its not. However its a personal choice.

Manufacturer and Souring Front Pads
Related question. I get that it may come down to personal choice and pocket depth, but the Main Volvo Dealer is quoting IRO £117 for a set of front XC90 pads.
Euro Car Part offers a set of Brembo pads for £70 with another two choices (Pagid & Eicher) for an additional three and six pounds. I've previously used Brembo Pads on a (now dead) Alfa 159 Ti (with Brembo calipers) as well as my previous Volvo V70. I also get that there is a question of "Should you Skimp on Safety", but aftermarket parts are IMHO a viable option. I remember having problems with non-Volvo brake shoes on my previous V70, for it's parking brake (e-brake), and then reverting to Volvo parts to solve. But this may have just been curvature issues rather than material composition. Thoughts from the community?

Brembo for example are decent. I've used them multiple times with no issues. Pagid are junk... the discs warped within 3 months on my car. I will never use them again for discs or pads. Eicher - I wouldn't use them either. The material that they're made with is too hard and it makes the brakes noisy. I still think the best ones are genuine. If there's a huge difference in price, then I go aftermarket and get something like Brembo. If there's not much in it, then I go with genuine.
