Skid plate anyone?..
Does anyone have this on their XC60/XC90/V90 CC? (apparently, it's a same plate for all SPA cars..)
https://accessories.volvocars.com/en...CC-512472/2018 My understanding is that it's permanently bolted to the frame and it has an opening for oil drainage. It seems a bit pricey (upwards of €300 + installation - and from I've been able to see it's not a DIY as there's some special tools involved..) but in any case it seems cheaper than replacing the oil pan.. Clearly an XC60 is not a hard offroader - but I do occasionally venture off tarmac and I'm thinking it might be worthwhile investing into something like this.. |

Also thought about having this fitted as I sometimes go offroad when visiting small holdings

Looks like you need to drill the chassis and then pivot the plate into place, not massively tricky but not sure I would want to be drilling the chassis as I can see there may be all sort of warranty issues there. Shame they are no predrilled to take them.

Yeah, I don't like the fact that there's drilling involved- only because of possible corrosion around the drilled points. This being an OEM piece, dealer-installed- I don't think it may affect the manufacturer's warranty..
Surprised to see that no one on the forum has one of these installed.. |

The warranty comment was more if someone got just the part and did a DIY. Agreed if they install it then everything should be fully supported.
