Service & repairs for all types of Volvos

At Angus Mitchell Automotive, we offer you great service for your Volvo. We think that Volvo’s are generally great cars, however, there are a couple of models which can have some issues. We have compiled a list below, call us for a chat about your car.

At Angus Mitchell Automotive we only use the very best oils. Sure, these oils cost more than cheap oils just as the best food costs more than junk.

Common Volvo issues

  • On the all-wheel drive models the transfer cases can be problematic.
  • Timing belt and water pumps must be replaced in a unit at around 90,000kms.
  • Suspension bush wear, especially on the strut tops.
  • Starter ring gears wearing, an expensive job as the engine has to be removed.
  • ABS modules failing.
  • Turbo boost valve problems
  • Automatic transmission failure on early T6 models
  • Handbrake actuation design fault on mechanical models, handbrake rarely holds the car adequately.
  • The pick of the bunch is the T5 models around 2006.
  • Ignition coils failing.
  • Automatic transmission failure and or hard gear changes.
  • 6 cylinder engine intermediate gear bearing failure – An expensive repair job. Avoid the 6 cylinder engines, go for a four cylinder.
  • Interior trim components breaking. Aside from these issues (which could be off putting…) we think that these cars have potential to be a great car. Just make sure you talk to us to get the right model!
