Slightly off topic, but I had terrible valve stem seal leaks in my ‘02 v70xc. It would smoke pretty bad on acceleration after idle. Used ATP AT-205 reseal. It’s an additive that softens up the rubber seals. And it 100% fixed my problems.
Pros: 100% fixed my problems
Vehicle:
Volvo
Part number: AT-205

They let me use multiple coupons at once (all expired and all say that you can only do 1 discount).
For the account info:
The service tech checked my account and confirmed that only my contact information is on my account and printed it out for me. Then the other tech asked if he checked the scheduler? And they found the ex's contact information on the scheduler. He updated the information on the scheduler and then they both logged in on different computers to check, including scheduling an appointment for me to confirm that only my contact info is on there. Then the other tech checked again and confirmed that it was correct on his computer.
Pros: excellent service
Cons: multiple coupons issue
Vehicle:

I rebuilt my front and rear for maybe $60 total in parts. Just O-rings and cylinders, they don't really get more simple than this. It's hard to find parts for vented girling calipers since all the guys with solid rotors buy the vented disc calipers as an upgrade.
Pros: cheap repair, simple process
Cons: hard to find parts

I currently drive 2018 XC90 r5 and live in Montreal, Canada with Gislaved tires. There is absolutely nothing in Volvo XC90 that makes it ideal car to handle large amount of snow.
Cons: not ideal for snow

But, the rotors on these cars suck and warp really quickly. Our 18 V90cc we had the rotors replace at 16k miles and again around 40-50k. They are warping again at 70k. They seem to only last about 20k miles.
Cons: warp really quickly
Vehicle:
Volvo V90
Mileage: 16000 km
My 2022 S60 had warped rotors at 12,000 miles. They replaced the front rotors under warranty. Just had the back rotors replaced at 20,000 mi and they tried to say I was driving it like a race car. They did eventually cover the rear pads when I protested.
Cons: rotors warped quickly
Vehicle:
Volvo S60
Mileage: 12000 km
