XC90 sunshade repair/high mileage reliability

[968]

I've got a 2019 XC90 and the rollerblind that covers the sunroof has developed a small tear in it. Does anyone know what the cost is to replace it? I'm bracing myself a bit.

This car has been leased and I am considering buying out the lease outright now and keeping it. It's done 60k miles and still runs great. Has anyone else with higher mileage cars had any major problems to be aware of?

97k miles here. Nothing horrendous thus far apart from a cracked feckin wheel - £893. (Not the XC90's fault - st roads round here).

That said, I reckon replacing the the panoramic roof sunshade will be pricey. Would be worth finding an indie servicing place and trying to get a quote.

Thanks! Great to hear you’ve gone to 97k!

Just hit 150K and going strong. Just did the cam belt with all Volvo parts. Doing the maintenance as required is the key, I think. In addition, don't use knock-off parts. You will pay for it in the long run.

Brilliant, I have bought mine now out of the PCP lease for 23k, done 60k miles. I have bought a warranty separately and have had the car serviced by Volvo throughout, on time.

Did you get the sunshade fixed?

Not yet. Got a quote from an Indy was about £650 inc vat. The hole is tiny and with the shade retracted it’s not visible. The car needs a proper valet though. It’s pretty hard used by my young family! Maybe when I’ve got a bit more cash! 😃

Bit cheaper than I thought it would be...

Mine also gets abused badly.

(Good Top Gear mag review of them https://www.topgear.com/car-reviews/volvo/xc90 )

Sadly page doesn’t exist. The Indy I found was in St Leonard’s on Sea. The car is a great utility car, does everything, can carry massive loads or 7 people, it’s comfortable and well equipped and (so far) has been completely reliable. Yeah it’s boring to drive but hey with traffic/potholes/crappy weather/speed traps, who gets a chance to really enjoy fun cars?

We have just stuck a deposit down on a used one.


2018 D5 Momentum with all the packs added to it so very well spec'ed. Pretty low mileage as well at 27,000. We are buying it from a Volvo main dealer so we decided to stick 5k on finance to get the extra year warranty and 2 years free servicing and MoT's :-)

Having to wait for a towbar to be fitted as they are on back order so we pick it up 1st June. Only downside is its black (I fancied blue or green) but hey ho.

Congratulations! It’s a great car. Almost the perfect family car…

Nice.

Ours was also an optioned up Momentum. Nappa leather is now something I will want in any new one we get.

Also black, which I didn't want. But Ember Black is a great colour (esp. when the OH cleans the car ).

Enjoy.

(Are you getting the electric tow bar? It's very neat.).
