Servicing XC90
Greetings all
First of all - apologies if it hasn't been posted in the correct place... Have just acquired a 53 plate XC90 2.4 diesel. My first one and planning to keep it until I don't need all the space the xc offers... One - there appears to be an oil leak (looking at the various threads it could be very little or around £400?!) Two - I need to get it serviced and probably put new cambelt as it has 84 on the clock. Not too sure about the cars past - even though it's in a great condition inside and out. Three - it will need new tyres very soon by the look of things... Nokian I hear mentioned a lot, if I get a couple of responsed confirming that I'll be happy to give that ago... I live in Pinner - NW London. Looking at VOC recommended garages found Darryl Motors near where I live. Have any of you used them at all in the past and would you recommend? If not - do you know of anyone good in my area (or not too far from me). Many thanks |

thanks Badger
sounds similar to mine but not as flash as yours with dvd, phone... : -)
took me nearly 6mths to decide on a 7 seater - nothing comes close to it really. My other 2 options were Grand Scenic or the Kia Sedona... not a difficult choice to make really (3 kids helping on that, too)! Gorgeous drive with tons of space and my last car being an X-Trail, there's quite a feel of luxury,too I got mine only last week, at quite a reasonable price and because I wasn't sure about it's history (or the trader selling it) I did expect to spend a few pounds straight away... yep, am going to do the full works as well - including cambelt. The oil leak sounds similar, too - it is the front pan. Am going to take it to this Volvo Specialist on Monday as am a bit wary of driving around knowing there's an oil leak... All the best |

QUOTE] does it have any history at all with it? I'd be dubious but hey, buying any car is a gamble and hopefully you have made a good decision, good luck with your XC90. did the garage give you a warranty? |

no warranty really -small dealer... who has been surprisingly good! He swears he wasn't aware of the oil leak and will pay for the repair!
I left it at this Volvo specialist this morning ... wait and see... doing a full service and cambelt as well. Tyres - might have to wait as it will probably come close to a grand ... I was dubious but price, I thought, was good. Not a lot of miles and excellent condition inside out. I'll let you know how I get on when I get it back (couple of days apparently)... next thing doing is fitting dvd for kids - sent a message to someone here who apparently does them just like originals factory fit... |
