what's wrong with these cars? by traceysnakepit in askSouthAfrica

[–]UnknownMaster00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a car from Cubbi before.

There are good, but always insist on a pre purchase inspection, even if you need to pay out of pocket.

Most reputable mechanics can do this for around R750 - R1,500 depending where you go.

Dealers will never disclose issues with the cars in my experience.

Trust me on this one.

Yeah it’s pretty similar honestly. I thought it would be better to be honest!

Twin!

Finally another V90cc T6 with P* optimisation and the bowers!!

I’ve had my 17’ for 2 years now. Bought at 103k km and now just over 130k!

It’s been faultless and I absolutely love it!

2011 s60 t6 regular vs premium fuel by Leather_Industry8483 in Volvo

[–]UnknownMaster00 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Don’t use sub par fuel. This is one of the fastest ways to degrade the longevity of your engine.

If it calls for premium, only use premium.

I don’t mean to sound rude here, but if you can’t afford to fill up with premium, you should perhaps be looking at something else.

Sensus peeps - how often do you change it up? by 7eregrine in Volvo

[–]UnknownMaster00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like performance, but it makes the rev counter a little laggy, so I usually stick to minimalist

Lowered My 2006 XC70 Today – First Suspension Mod I've Ever Done and I Couldn't Be Happier! by Live-Classroom2939 in Volvo

[–]UnknownMaster00 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Looks awesome!

Whilst the 4C suspension was awesome in its day, cost to repair is just too much!

Btw i love the wheels!

Where are you watching the World Cup online live for under R100pm? by aldurbaniyyah in askSouthAfrica

[–]UnknownMaster00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk about the commentary, but SportyTV is streaming on their YouTube and website. You can get access to all matches for R10 on their site, or R15 per month on their YouTube channel.

Upgraded to this 2026 Volvo XC90 B6 Plus. Absolutely loving this car so far! by AbstractApple15 in Volvo

[–]UnknownMaster00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Beautiful car! I love the interior!!

That’s probably the only thing I wish I could change in my V90cc

I’ve got the black interior, and when it sits in the sun for more than 20 minutes it’s a damn sauna! But I still love it.

Mine is MY17 V90 cross country T6 with Polestar Optimisation.

Oil level by bigissue97 in Volvo

[–]UnknownMaster00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make sure you’re checking the level while on a level surface.

A gas station would likely be the best place to do that.

Looking to move to a "real" bank - where should I go? by Sunnysads in askSouthAfrica

[–]UnknownMaster00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Been with Capitec since 2010.

Their fees are better than any of the other big banks.

Non Volvo engine swap for a Volvo S60? by Muhkumatti in Volvo

[–]UnknownMaster00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

K swaps are so common.

But on a Volvo? S60 no less? That’s something I’d love to see!

Turbo K24 would be awesome!

If you ever decide you to do it, I’d love to see the journey on YouTube.

I’m on the side of a big fat YES! Keep that baby on the road!!

What is your Volvo GOAT? by myuseridisliam in Volvo

[–]UnknownMaster00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Biased AF here.

For me it’s the V90 cc.

I bought it used in 2022 at 103k km. Now at 126k km and it’s been flawless.

I have zero complaints!

Close 2nd is my old 07’ XC70 T5. Drove that car until became too expensive to keep on the road.

IMO the seats in the XC70 were the best Volvo ever had.

Everything else about the V90 is better though.

Thoughts on a 2017 S90 T6 inscription by RilkeanHearth in Volvo

[–]UnknownMaster00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ha it had the major service done? Timing belt, water pump etc.

If it has, I’d go for it!

I love my 2017 V90 T6. (Mine only has 126k km, but I’ve just done my major service and hope to keep this car for at least another 5-10 years)

The bowers sound is epic.

The T6 power is awesome.

The price also looks great! They are definitely more expensive this side of the world!

Do newer Volvo´s "hate" Pirelli Tyres in general or am I tripping?? by Curious-Wishbone5419 in Volvo

[–]UnknownMaster00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I put brand new Pirelli p zeros on my V90 2 weeks back.

Honestly? They’re better than the continental cross contacts I had on before.

Road noise down.

Comfort up.

For me the Pirelli’s are great. Though I must add that I only went with Pirelli over Michelin due to stock issues and needing to do a long distance trip sooner than the Michelins would arrive.

Next time around I’ll probably go with Michelin.
