What to know about the Aisin automatic in a Volvo XC60 and V70
- The article lists the six-speed as “AW TF-80SC” and the eight-speed as “Aisin TG-81 SC” for the first-generation XC60. It does not pair either to a particular engine or year.[1]
- The V70 article lists a third gearbox, a Ford MPS6 six-speed, alongside the two Aisin units. If your V70 has that one it is not an Aisin, and we tell you before quoting.[2]

What you get on every job
Not extras, and not only on the big jobs. This is how every car is looked after at Rootes Motors, from an oil service to a gearbox.
Fixed price in writing before we start
You get a fixed price in writing before any work begins. If we find anything else, we send you photos and a link to approve or decline it — nothing extra is done without your yes.

Questions we get asked
Which gearbox does my Volvo XC60 or V70 have?
The first-generation XC60 lists the Aisin TF-80SC six-speed and TG-81SC eight-speed. The 2008-on V70 lists those two and a Ford-built six-speed. Send us your registration and we confirm it before quoting.
How often should a Volvo automatic gearbox be serviced?
Our own advice is around every 60,000 miles on average, sooner for towing or hard use. Many were sold as filled for life, so with an unknown history it is worth doing now.
Is a dynamic fluid exchange suitable for a Volvo?
These are torque-converter automatics, which is what our machine is designed for. We read the gearbox's live data first and recommend a static service or a dynamic exchange for your car.
How much is a Aisin automatic gearbox service on a Volvo XC60 and V70?
A static service (drain and fill, level set at the correct fluid temperature) is from £399, and a dynamic fluid exchange on our machine is from £799, both priced to your car. The price moves with which Aisin automatic version it has, the pan and filter part and how much has to come off to reach it. Give us your registration and we confirm a fixed price in writing before we start.
