Volvo – Volvo's break at 100 000 kms

I took my car in for a 100 000 service. At 106000 there is a major fault that is now costing me R2900.00. I drove up to volvo and without even looking at the car or asking me what the problem is the service attendant could identify the problem. So 6000km after a service then a major fault.Warning to all volvo owners insist that the oil seal, that breaks after the 100 000 km mark, be replaced while your car is still under warranty. Their response is that this is normal. you just do not know what is going to break next. and the fault could not be identified at the previous service HOWEVER the quick diagnostic made is an indication that the car has a flaw with regards to this oil seal. My issue: if they know this happens why not proactively replace the part at 100 000. Sadly disappointed in a Brand and Service i.e. I hate Volvo!
