| 75700 mi US $300 |
Top motor mount replaced. |
| 69300 mi | Repaired oil lead in turbo. Repaired fuel leak at tank. |
| 117000 mi | Car need new motor mounts. Needed new radiator. |
| 84100 mi C $70 |

| 92380 mi C $2000 |
New radiator. Timing belt |
| 124000 mi C $900 |
Fuel pump failed. Replace fuel pump and tank seal. |
| 146320 mi C $800 |
Upper, lower and side engine mounts. Top and bottom engine mounts were pretty far gone with the rubber separating from the metal bits of the mount. The front (i.e. passenger side) mount was in decent shape, replaced preventively. |
| 163680 mi C $116 |
Cam cover-to-crankcase vent line cracked. Plastic OEM line replaced with upgraded rubber line. Replaced rust-rotted hangers with heavier galvanized rod. Why mild-steel on a stainless pipe? |
| 165540 mi C $400 |
Original exhaust from cat back was replaced due to rust damage on the resonator and a loose baffle in the rear muffler. Overall not bad life (13 years and a bit) considering a life in the salt air of a seaside existence. Replaced with a custom system as it was considerably cheaper and quieter than stock replacement system. Hopefully it will last a bit longer than the typical OE replacement systems which last about 18-36 months in this environment. |
| 171740 mi C $80 |
Replaced ignition coils |
| 153000 mi US $80 |
A new coil on the # 3 cylinder. I did that myself also, and it was done 11/29/17, cost was $60 coil and plugs $20,decided to change all my plugs as long as I was there. |
| 82200 mi US $45 |
Broken PCV Hose (from top of crankcase to flame trap). Replaced w/ Genuine Volvo part |
| 82000 mi US $558 |
PCV system was clogged. Replaced all PCV hoses and flame trap with Genuine Volvo parts. After repair, crankcase vacuum measured at (-2.11") W.C. at idle with warm engine. |
| 83361 mi US $62 |
Check Engine Light - code P0193 (Fuel Pressure Too High). Replaced the Fuel Pressure Sensor - it seems to have fixed the problem. |
| 85279 mi US $67 |
Either the thermostat or temperature sensor had gone bad - temp gauge was drifting under consistent driving conditions. Volvo sells both components as a single assembly, so replaced both simultaneously, which fixed the issue. Used an aftermarket part - Beck Arnley 143-0851 from Amazon for $67. |
| 87680 mi US $35 |
Upper engine mount had deteriorated, causing lots of vibration throughout the cabin. Replaced the upper mount, which immediately resolved the issue. |
| 237000 mi | Metal hangers on rear of exhaust system failed; installed hanger repair kit for muffler and intermediate pipe |
| 118000 mi US $600 |

During scheduled maintenance visit it was =found that the Fuel emissions leak detection pump had a leak. Though not a majot=r concern and even though my next emissions inspection is in two years i decided to have this replaced. |
| 121000 mi US $300 |
The PCV system needed to be replaced. The breather tube had cracked and broke into pieces. |
| 128960 mi C $325 |
Oxygen sensor, original sensor was on the car. |
| 132060 mi C $250 |
O2 sensor wasn't issue, replaced MAF. So those can be ruled out. Now we are in between changing the rear O2 sensor or checking for a possible vacuum leak. |
| 81000 mi | Car failed smog test due to catalytic converter not ready signal. Apparently problem with all CAN bus OBDII systems, took to more informed test station and they passed it. |
| 106900 mi US $100 |
Expansion tank cracked. |
| 122000 mi US $875 |
Leaking radiator. |

| 85000 mi US $400 |
Leak detection pump at gas tank failed. |
| 133200 mi US $500 |
Oil rebreather box. Not sure what the problem is. It was something the service manager said needed to be replaced. It wasn't something that was critical so I skipped it. |

| 196000 mi US $250 |
another turbo issue. something caused car to stall |
| 198000 mi US $1365 |
Replaced failing fuel pump |
| 99000 mi US $4500 |
Turbo blow off valve not closing. The PCV system was repaired on a previous trip but because a TSB was missed not all the correct parts were installed. The poorly functioning PCV system may have contributed to the Turbo failure. The valve cover tube connecting to the PCV system broke. |
| 101000 mi US $1590 |
Previous repair to PCV system put pressure on valve cover and blew that gasket. Additionally the belt tensioner was bad. Replacing the valve cover required a TON of labor. |
| 101500 mi US $1201 |
Vehicle began to intermittently go into "reduced power mode". It was throwing a code related to the throttle position sensor. The Throttle module needed replaced. Unlike the prev. repair the major expense here was the part cost. |
