I have a 2005 XC-90 with bi-xenons (not the new 2007 adaptive ones)

My vehicle is LHD but in a few months I will return to UK, RHD. There are 2 issues to resolve; first the speedo (a mph replacement needed, no option) second the headlamp lighting pattern. I have heard (another forum) that I might not after-all need to completely replace the headlamp units with RHD ones, but instead the...

This seems like the most redundant Nav system I have ever used. It won't seem to cancel a route until you've actually gotten there and will start up without engaging the system. Any help default/liebe011.gif' 'liebe011.gif' />

My dog has chewed up our seat belt buckles and am trying to replace them without going to the dealer. It seems you must take the middle row seats out. Does anyone know how to do this? default/liebe011.gif' 'liebe011.gif' />

We are trading in our F350 and our XC90 2.5 5cyl AWD is becoming our "big" vechicle.

I wanted to get some feedback on people's experiences with towing, top carriers and hit mounted cargo carriers.

How would the XC90 do towing a 5X12 open utility trailer? Most cases it wouldn't be heavily loaded. Just stuff like tables, chairs, coolers, gas cans etc. On...

Hi!

Looking for ECU upgrade for my 2006 XC 90 2.5T here in Malaysia. With all the options out there (BSR, Heico, etc.), which is the best? Any experienced guru out there who can enlighten me?

Thanks!

I recently bought a power inverter that I'd like to install in my '05 XC90. In addition to the standard 12V connections, the inverter has a single lead that is supposed to be wired to the ignition key switch to act as a remote 'power on' for the inverter so it wont drain the battery.

To make things worse, the documentation doesn't tell me what kind of signal...

Hi. I'm brand new to this forum .. and so far, it's been extremely helpful. Had a 2000 S40 which was replaced with a 2004 S60 2.5T. Just about to return the S60 lease for an XC90. There are incredible deals running right now.

It looks like I'm going for a 2006 V8 with Touring, Climate and Xenons. Wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the Convenience package ... is it...

I own a fantastic 2006 XC90, and use iTunes to burn music. I've noticed that anything I load from iTunes doesn't display the text that I've added (or was auto-added when the song was bought on iTunes.) I've verified DMA is selected on the burner, and the songs play just fine (love the premium sound system with the subwoofer...) However, my girlfriend uses Musicmatch to burn...

I have swapped my XC90 for a new one last year and kept the towbar.

I have managed to do the manual part of refitting the towbar, but do not know how to wire up the the six pin electrics correctly.

(It's a July 2005 model.)

Does anyone have a wiring diagram?

Much appreciated.

Has anyone had any issues during acceleration at about 55 mph and 65 mph where you are smooth on the accelerator and the car surges and spikes by at least 250 to 500 rpms?? could it be a problem with the turbo? I am running 91 octane gas as recommended and have run several tanks of gas though hoping it was bad gas or wter in fuel. help

2005 Volvo XC 90 V8 AWD, 11,000 miles...

So on our first road trip in the Volvo... We're driving down I-25 in New Mexico and the thing just loses power. We coast to the side of the road (in a cellular deadspot mind you) and wait. Car won't start again. We call roadside assistance, they are sending a tow truck and an emergency vehicle. It's 110 outside and my 5 month old...

I got the car with 12 miles on. It now has 75 miles and declined to do anymore. It stalled while my wife was at a stop downtown Honolulu and would not start again. So much for safety! Three policemen were quite gracious and pushed it to the closest sidewalk. My wife called Volvo-On-Call. That was almost 4 hours ago and she is still waiting for a flatbed to take the car to Volvo. So much...

Good morning, my name is Marco, I live in Italy and I have been driving a Volvo XC 90 V8 since july 05.
1. When I push the accelerator hard from still, the front wheels spin for a second and then you can feel that the car begins pushing with all four wheels. Is it normal? I read that the most recent version of Volvo AWD system should lock the transmission on all four wheels, starting from...

Just bought an 06' xc90 v8. I have been trying to do some research on an oem subwoofer. I have seen some other sites talk about them costing around $300.00 yet my dealer tells me it is basically $1,000 w/ software.

Does anyone have a source for the OEM subwoofer at a reasonable price?

Hello to everyone from San Antonio Texas. I just took delivery of a 2006 XC90 T5 FWD about a week ago and my wife loves the car. We are already having pasenger side door lock problems. When you use the key fob the pasenger door lock will not respond. Also when this happens the outside temperature gauge is blank and the window will not go up or down. We get about a mile or 2 down the road and the...

'Allo - new to the forum. I posted a longer greeting in the S60 forum, so won't waste space here.

First XC90 question: Exactly what does the "Rear AC" button on the console do, and how does it interact with the rear climate knob? Both the manual and the online manual have just a cryptic sentence about it. My '00 Odyssey had a front setting that would let rear...
