Ummmmm...how many miles, how much of a service history? Was the oil changed as recommended?

Sure, could be rings. Or maybe the valve guides, they're more common. Is your mechanic a Volvo mechanic? My '98 still uses absolutely no oil between changes at 154,000 miles.

The ABS module is a common failure. So common that there is a guy here who fixes 'em for a fraction of the cost of a new unit. Use the search function, above, for details.
