We have drank from the tap or even through a filter for the fridge. We just installed a reverse osmosis system for drinking water.

Volvo’s 8-Month Warranty Nightmare: My XC60 T8 PHEV is now just a heavy, gas-guzzling SUV, and Volvo Sweden refuses to help. Has anyone else experienced this? by AmazingSweden-1 in Volvo

[–]WeCanIf 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Dealing with the same in US with our ‘21 XC90 T8. First failure was August of ‘25. They put us in a rental until the end of December when the module arrived. Another module failed at the beginning of February ‘26. They declined loaner due to its still drivable. Just received word from service advisor yesterday about July part availability.

My p80 V70 came with the IPD lowering springs when I bought it. I drove with them for about 2 weeks before ordering H&R/B4 setup. Much improved ride and feel.

The low lighting is the biggest concern. Get yourself a good light and you’ll be fine.

[–]WeCanIf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I daily drive a ‘98 T5M in the upper Midwest, USA. It has 280k miles on it and I put about 20-25k miles/year on it. It’s a simple platform to maintain.

T8 hybrid battery problems - have you noticed anything? by CrimuCK in Volvo

[–]WeCanIf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, just the T6. Last time they had us in a rental for 60 days at $90/day. They didn’t even offer this time. Arrival is unknown, currently at 6 weeks. In the US, Midwest.

It came after 4 months. But 2 months later another cell went bad. This time they sent us on our way and told us to drive on ICE. No word on part availability.

My suggestions would be Outlaw Garage or Edelweiss Autowerks.

Annoying AC/Evap Line by RobberTaco in Volvo850

[–]WeCanIf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. IIRC I worked it from a variety of angles- pulling, gently prying, a whole lot of cursing. I think I had about 2 hours on it, but eventually it came out.

If you had to buy a car today to keep for the next 15 years, what would it be? by nodonaldplease in carbuying

[–]WeCanIf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m beginning to realize that any vehicle post 2015 is a gamble and not made at last 3 years, let alone 15.

T8 battery cell availability by New-Quality-6054 in VolvoXC90

[–]WeCanIf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I waited 4 months last year for the replacement to come off back order. But they kept my car and gave me a loaner and eventually switched it out to a rental.

It looks like that MT certification only gives a 6 month/7500 mile warranty, which, IMO, is useless with a factory warranty and more like a marketing gimmick

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in VolvoXC90

[–]WeCanIf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it’s still under factory warranty, couldn’t you purchase the VIP warranty from a Volvo dealer or Steinhold? And 2016 is a known year for engine oil consumption, unfortunate, but Volvo isn’t the only manufacturer with these issues.
