How often should the brake pads of a Volvo XC60 be replaced?
2 Answers
Volvo XC60 brake pads should be replaced every 60,000 kilometers. Below is an introduction to the Volvo XC60: 1. Powertrain: It is equipped with T4/T5 models featuring low-power/high-power turbocharged engines, as well as the T8 plug-in hybrid model. The combined maximum power output reaches 303 horsepower, with a peak torque of 400N·m. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.5 seconds, and has a combined fuel consumption as low as 2.1L/100km. 2. Interior: The design follows Volvo's signature style, incorporating silver trim panels or wood grain trim panels. The 9-inch central control screen features an interface similar to that of the S90, offering various multimedia entertainment and vehicle setting functions.
Hey, as a long-term owner of the Volvo XC60, I'd like to share some experience. When to replace the brake pads really depends on individual driving habits. If you drive smoothly and mostly in the city, they can generally last 50,000 to 60,000 kilometers. But if you frequently brake on mountain roads or make sudden stops, they'll wear out faster and may need replacement at around 40,000 kilometers. Don't just focus on the numbers—have the technician measure the thickness during each maintenance check. If it's less than 3 millimeters, act quickly. A heads-up: squealing noises or a burning smell when braking are warning signs—don't ignore them. Safety comes first, and regular checks save more money than repairs. While OEM parts are pricier, they last longer and ensure driving safety. In short, develop good habits and don't let brake issues become a major problem.
