We have a 2004 XC90. We just purchased new tires - same size but more aggressive tread. We have the only XC90 mud flaps available through Volvo but the mud by-passes the flaps and covers the side of the car. Anyone had this issue?

My wife and I have been looking for a SUV to replace our GMC yukon for about a year or so and have had a difficult time finding something that would appeal to us. We recently went to visit a Volvo dealership that has the v8 model in stock and are very interested in going for a test drive. The only thing we are apprehensive about is going from a full size to mid-sized SUV. We have a 4 month old...

I have just purchased a 2005 XC90 and have noticed that I have a whistling noise on the front passenger window and a popping sound on the drivers side. When the side mirrors are retracted the noise stops. Does anyone know how to correct this problem or if there is an attachment that can go on the mirrors to help this.

Where should the front and rear equalizer settings be positioned as a starting point on the premium sound system with Dolby Pro Logic? I have no idea what I'm doing with these settings.

Does anyone know the 30-50mph (48-80kph) or 50-70mph (80-112kph) times for each of the XC90 engines?

I'm in the process of ordering a new XC90 and don't fancy the performance of the oil burner. The two petrol engines look very similar in the brochure but I haven't been able to try the 2.5T only the T6. For overtaking acceleration though, there is no suitable data in the brochure. Some of you may have tried the car in other countries where its been available for a while (its just...

I am taking delivery of an XC-90 V8 in May. I'm interested in making some modifications. I want to lower it 2" and go to 19" rims. Also interested in changing out the front bumper.

After 10 months of waiting I finally got my XC90 D5 GEARTRONIC. After driving a month there are some very nasty complains:
- A hard noise in the back while driving over cobblestone roads;
- A shock in the gearbox after starting and...

I recently purchased an XC90 D5 and quickly noticed that the vehicle ocationally (happens about once a week) emits a huge "smoke cloud" when you stop at a robot or stop street (especially after relatively hard driving). I discussed the issue with the local Volvo dealers who explained that the quality of diesel in Sout Africa was to blame. I deemd this a pretty lame excuse since I have...

During heavy rain today on country roads I hit a deepish puddle causing a bow wave of water over the car. A message ('Service Needed') came up almost immediately and the car was sluggish for the next five or ten miles. Stopped and restarted the car, no message and sluggishness went.
Anything I should be concerned about?

I have purchased four 17" wheels and snow tires from Les Schwab. My XC90 runs much rougher which may be the studded tires but maybe the wheel was not a good match. Does anyone have the specifications for the 17" Neptune Volvo Wheel. I need offset and backspace. I have heard that the offset is 49mm and my Les Schwabs are 40mm. Can anyone confirm the offset and backspace for the...

Hi
I test drove the XC90 yesterday and was very impressed. Have decided to trade in my current BMW X5 for a new model. However the one downside was power which, understandably for a smaller engine, was lacking compared to the X5. The local Volvo dealer mentioned that a more powerful XC90 was due to be released in the US but not currently planned for release in the UK.

Can anyone...
