Is this true and does it still apply or did they drop the scheme? I haven't heard of a lifetime warranty on Volvo or any other car. I would be very surprised if a car maker would take on such an open ended liability. I think Rolls-Royce had something of the sort many years ago, but have never heard of one for a Volvo. If it exists, I'd like to talk to them about some things on my '72 145...

At least there was such a lifetime guarantee on exhaust systems during the life of my 1985 745! However the catch was that it applied only the replacement system, you had to pay for the replacement system and then volvo guaranteed the replacements to that, ala midas. if volvo installed the first replacement, then successors includor also. in my case, i bout the first one and installed it so when it needed replacement, i simply exchanged the muffler and pipes and they gave me the new one.
my 98 v70XC has 95k us miles and exhaust system seems to be ok. i suspect if this s60 has an exhaust resonance replacing the exhause will only give a new one with a similar sound?
[us miles because it is a little known factoid that sweden also has miles, eg, my swedish ford service booklet has service for 7500 mil which actually is 75 000km, i guess it conserves ink by not printing all those zeroes in ads and documents?]
