should I renew the warranty - Page 3

I'd keep the money and hope for the best. Perhaps get the ATF changed if you're worried about the gearbox. Warranties have never worked well for me. Various issues some I am biased against them!

I think they are worthwhile. Had a Warrantywise Warranty on my last three volvos, and they have paid claims worth more than the warranty on two of them, and the third is catching up fast.
Interestingly the phase 2 models have cost the most parts wise. The old Classic shape was definitely the most reliable of the bunch.
Nothing mega has gone wrong, drop links, control arms, wheels bearings, brake master cylinder, rad fan and more recently the transmission to angle box transfer sleeve in my S60R. ( All common issues for us Volvo drivers) :-)
