Avoid the NGK’s Bosch or “Volvo” (also Bosch) plugs are way better than the NGK’s.
Reviews of spare parts for Volvo
The tires have probably 10k miles on them? They are Firestone Firehawk A/S V2s, so decent sporty all seasons. They are pretty decent I’d say.
Ca alternative, recomand Hankook. Eu am de vara cu clasa A la aderență pe drum umed si 69DB ca zgomot. Sincer, își merită toți banii.
2013 Volvo XC 90. Owned since new, only used Penzoil Euro L formulation, all synthetic, 10W-30 and 143K miles later I had to get rid of her because I left the country. No engine issues at all.
I replaced my stock blackstone a few months ago with a Nissens from Rockauto. I am happy with it.
I buy parts from them for my Volvo. Even with the cost of freight , it's miles cheaper.
I'd even recently done the timing belt and it had 2 sets of wheels with Continental tires.
Next and least expensive, would be to buy a new alternator from Volvo and have them install it. It could be that there is a known issue with the alternator that you put on there if it's not from Volvo.
Definitely get that starter -- even the OEM new Bosch ones suck
I forced him to take it to my current indy Volvo garage and they gave him a huge lost of everything wrong with it, including a timing belt and fan belt. It had the distinctive whisp/chirp of worn belts.
