XC90 Turbo Failed at 38K XC90

Sorry about your XC90. Volvo buys turbos from other mfgers, like Mitsubishi. It would cost too much to develop and make a turbo in house these days.

Not sure who makes your turbo, but Mitsu is a good bet.

There should not be any lasting damage. Do you have a warranty? I would drive it until nearly out of warranty, and make a decision about keeping it. Maybe this XC90 was mistreated or not maintained. Turbos should last a long time, but they need clean oil, clean air, and cool down time.

Some Chrysler turbos from the 80s went over 200K miles with no problems. Others didn't.

I am very leery of the newer Volvos - so complicated and hard to work on. If they didn't need any work, fine. But it seems like most do, and it costs a lot.

It would be interesting to compare an average XC90 to a Honda Pilot and see which costs more to operate. I know that XC90s are generally cheap to insure (heard on the news).
