S$2.8K for normal servicing is very high. Even BMW is cheaper. Will you be able to list out the items that you had service? I understand that SM servicing dept dont go according to your odometer. Most likely yr 88K servicing is their recorded 150K servicing. it something like, If you drive 13000 per year, you would have serviced your car twice at SM. Their records will show it as 15K and 30K mark. Edited June 1, 2011 by Mcf777 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pls re-look yr bill. 88K should be yr current odometer mileage. On their statement, there should be something that state what type of maintenance are they doing. Example : 75,000km or 150,000km Maintenance Service Wiper price is standard. You can try calling Unico to check. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mkl22 Twincharged August 30, 2017 Share August 30, 2017 was told to avoid powershift gearbox, it is that bad for Volvo? just like VW? i think you can google and will find quite a bit of info and problems on powershift. In USA there was a class action lawsuit and a settlement. http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a10316276/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-proposed-settlement-for-ford-powershift-owners/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyke Supercharged November 27, 2017 Share November 27, 2017 @ ~100K km: Had to change power steering rack; was loving the weighty steering, but after the change feels almost Toyota light/over-assisted. Major transmission fluid leak, had to change gearbox seal/gasket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
