Geetee I feel your pain. Few years ago I bought a lovely S60 D5 sport (2005) model full Volvo history and 12 month warranty. After 4 months the car failed to start and was returned to the Volvo main dealer. After a few days they advised the entire engine management system was shot. Leaves had blocked the drain holes in the scuttle board and water had ingressed into the system via the plenum gasket. Total bill -£3k. I said ok, as was covered under Volvo warranty. The claim was rejected as the warranty didn’t cover water damage.
I took Volvo to court via trading standards but eventually Volvo offered to pay half.
Point is their cars are expensive to fix , parts are expensive. My car was stuck at the main dealer in bits so couldn’t take it to an independent garage. Plus they were going to charge me the labour which was at over £1k already.
Barstewards. Not touched a Volvo since mind… 😥
