Do your own maintenance for the V90

September 7, 2024

This car has been driving for almost 20,000 kilometers now, and it’s time to maintain it, so I posted this post today and wanted to share with you my own maintenance operation for the car. I bought it because of the family’s travel needs, and my wife and I both prefer self-driving tours. So I decided to buy such an imported model. The Volvo brand itself is also very atmospheric. The 2.0T engine power is also very strong, making it quite comfortable whether it is running in the city or at high speed. As for why I need to do my own maintenance, there are actually many stories here. My brother-in-law opened his own car repair shop. Because I also like to tinker with cars, we communicate a lot. We originally said that we would just drive to his place and ask the workers to do it. But I do love it, I really like cars. He just said he would change it himself. He happened to have quite a complete set of tools and equipment, so I would work with him to make up the car.
Before this car, I drove a domestically produced car, which also had some minor problems. Basically, I like to repair it myself when I look at the forum or ask someone. Of course, it’s all minor problems, such as changing oil and air filter elements. They are all things that you can operate by yourself and are quite hands-on. If you are a novice who doesn’t know much about cars, it’s best not to operate by yourself.

I heard that the maintenance price in 4s stores is still relatively expensive now. The more ordinary one costs more than 1,000 yuan, and the more comprehensive one costs more than 2,000 yuan. In fact, it is just doing my job, and it feels completely unnecessary. Moreover, I think that particularly professional masters don’t like to work in 4s stores, but instead go it alone.

I found the air filter element online, Mahler’s filter element. It is also of the same quality as the original Volvo factory. After all, the official also looks for Mahler for OEM products.

Compared with the old and the new, in fact, you can feel a sense of accomplishment by doing it yourself.

Red line ester engine oil, imported originally. Of course, I bought it online. Online shopping is actually quite convenient and solves many problems. I hope it really works. I heard before that it can reduce noise.
