I bought a set of continental LX25s and they've been great so far.
Reviews of spare parts for Volvo XC60
I stick to my regular brands for my cars. Being Kroon Oil, Castrol or Selenia.
Just had my 2022 xc60 recharge windshield replaced by Safelite (insurance coop). They used oem Volvo glass and did the recalibration at their shop near my home. All went well, and a couple weeks have gone by with lots of rain and no issues.
This happened to my 2012 XC60 RD T6, I changed all six and within 4 months 4 more coils burn up/melted. It ended up being a bad/faulty thermostat. Change the thermostat and no more issues!
I've used powerstops and bosch on my xc60. Braking performance felt slightly improved from the OEM for both. The powerstops (Z23 model) are also significantly less dusty, while the bosch pads produced about the same amount of dust as the OEM.
I've done many timing belts. The locking tool is a "nice to have" but certainly not required. You should be checking your cam sprocket alignment before turning the engine over, anyway, so just take your time and be careful and you'll avoid most issues.
K&N filters are a scam. Anyone who installs them is a sucker. Anyone who recommends them is a rube who doesn't understand how their vehicle works.
If you care about your car, DO NOT install one of this shitty products.
THEY DO NOT MAKE MORE PERFORMANCE ON A STOCK OR NEAR-STOCK VEHICLE.
THEY ALSO DO NOT FILTER WORTH A CRAP.
YOU WILL NOT HELP YOUR ENGINE AND YOU WILL CAUSE EXCESSIVE WEAR.
