Can anyone help me on how to install a new mirror on the driver side mirror? please help. default/57.gif' '57.gif' />

Hi: Today on a trip from Calgary to Edmonton we were alone on the highway well all of a sudden it sounded like a gunshot went off and when I looked up I saw a football side hole in my sunroof. We had been traveling at about 110km and were alone on the road. At first I thought perhaps it was a stone from another car or something dropped from an overpass but both of those possibilities were...

I am looking at buying my wife a XC90. We went and test drove a couple and they drive well. She (we) like the safety and looks.

My real concern is that I have not owned a Volvo and I have seen a lot of issues with transmissions. What are the problems? What causes them? Is it the same transmission behind the T5,T6, and the V8?

Are the transmission problems related to the...

Well I got everything removed except the rotors, I can't seem to get these things removed. Any special tools required besides a darn big hammer, trust me I'm half tempted default/wink.gif' 'wink.gif' />

Thanks in advance for any help you could throw my way!

I'm thinking of trading my 02 S60 in for 05 XC90(Certified) by Volvo. Any thing I should be aware of? This would be my 3rd Volvo if that means anything...

Thanks

Okay, This is an ongoing problem I have had since the replacement of my tranny. It is leaking on the left aft lower area of the engine and get this, only leaks when car is parked on an incline????? When on a flat surface, it doesn't leak. Need Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, I'm brand new to this board, but I drive a '98 S90, which has been a great car and rock-solid dependable. It's getting a little long in the tooth (170,000 miles) and I've been thinking of upgrading to an '03-'07 XC90. They seem like a great bargain used, you can get one with 30,000 miles or so for about half of sticker price.

I drive quite a bit for work...

I just purchased a 2004 XC90 and it did not come with any floor mats. I would like to get some decent carpeted ones for the fronts seats only. I found many on e bay but not sure if they are exact fits or just a generic size. Does anyone here have a good place to recommend, that doesn't cost an arm and a leg?

I'll try to make a long story short. I've been shopping for a used XC90 and the local dealer let me take home a 2004 T6 (4 speed trans) with 51000 miles. I noticed what I thought was oil on the garage floor after parking it there for a few minutes. I checked all the fluids, including trans fluid and all were fine. I pulled the "belly pan" and found that there was a good...

Hi All,

I've recently bought a set of 2007 rti dvd's to upgrade my 2003 system. The product number is 31260747, which is the correct upgrade according to two different dealerships I spoke with. My original dvd is product number 30657541.

But the disc doesn't load (I get dvd cannot be read message, contact dealership). So I checked this with the local Volvo parts...

This is my first post following introduction.
It looks like you can purchase Volvo XC90 Service Plans online.

I just bought mine, and after 8 years driving 3 cars into the ground, I just want to not have to deal with any more repairs.

1. It looks like you can purchase warranty plans anywhere. (e.g. @ warrantydeals.com)
Has anyone done that and if so, what has your...

I found a shop in NJ that actually has a ipod integration kit for the the XC90. it also has an Auxilary input . I was so excited that I told Shaun that I would spreads the word for him. SR Audio 908-437-0222. He said he will ship it to anyone that would like one call him or email him @ sales@sraudioworks.com.

My 6 CD Changer needs to be replaced.I was wondering is their a plug & play replacement by another company the one in there is not well made.Any HELP is greatly appreciated!!

HELLO

My key is flopping around loose and no longer springs out like it is supposed to. I recently purchased a used key/fob in pristine condition from a company on ebay. The fob looks brand new. Unfortunately the dealer says there is no way to ever re-program the key to work with my car, the new key is basically a paper weight. I have to buy a new one from them. Is this true? It seems like such a shame.

Hi ... I am a new user ... recently lost lever for power seat ... Volvo will only sell with entire switch kit @ $ 260 ... any idea where I can get just the plastic cap ? Thx

Hello from Denver, I have an 2004 XC90 that I would like to replace the front brake pads. Is this a difficult job. I have fairly good technical skills..

Hey. My head light covers are getting foggy in the front of my XC90. Anyone else have this issue? Is it possible to take them and work on them? default/blush.gif' 'blush.gif' />
Thanks.

I own a 2004 XC90 and have recieved a message on the center navigation screen that read "The disc in teh DVD player can not be read please check disc. Has anyone every incurred this problem. Is it as simple as replacing the disc or is it the nav system.

Thanks

I would like to connect my Minidisc or MP3 player to the car stereo. Does anyone know if this is possible. I have the in-dash 6 CD changer and Nav system.

Because existing sources of auto reliability information left much to be desired, in late 2005 I started conducting my own reliability research at . TrueDelta reports absolute stats like "trips to the shop" that make the differences between cars much clearer. Results are updated four times a year, so it's possible to provide reliability information on new models quickly. Also, any...

hi XC90 owners!

ive recently joined this forum and have noticed a number of complaints about the XC90 popping up! i actually work in the parts department for a local volvo dealer and would like to offer my services!

if anyone has any questions then i will be more than happy to help!

I have a 2004 xc90 and the transmission service urgent light came on. I was not having any problems. I brought it in and they ran a diagnositic and then downloaded new software. They then told me I needed to replace the transmission for $5400. The car only has 59,000 mi. Since this service call the shifting is problematic with high revs and then knocking into 2 and 3rd gears. pper gears...

Yesterday the C-D player took a dump on me. When I select a disc, it will load and say "disc unreadable', and locks up. It does this on all 6 C-Ds and they were all working fine until this occurred. The AM-FM radio works fine. Am I going to have to mortgage the house to get this repaired?

My new (2008) XC90 requires a supplimentary powere source to operate a game system off the RES. . . any recommendations?

I had to order the remote and wireless headphones from a dealer for my used 05 XC90. The remoe lets me play dvds but the headset does not work. I put in batteries and turned on but no sound from them. Does anyone have a quick fix before I truck them back to the dealer?

I talked to my local dealer (in the NE) and he said it is all but impossible to find an XC90 without the Versatility Package. That option adds a lot to the bottom line and my kids are too big now to fit back there anyway. Is this the case or is he feeding me a line?

I just noted my right rear shock leaking as I was changing my pads/rotors. Has anyone here changed the rear shocks on their XC90? If so, how painful is it to get access to the top mount, how do you get there, etc?

Thanks,

2005 XC90 ; While driving down the road, we hear a strange noise like water trickling down one of those portable desktop fountains. It remind me of the noise a swamp cooler or air conditioner makes in a humid envirnoment.
The noise sounds like it may be coming from the front heat vents but am not sure. Driving conditions are snowing and below freezing temps. Does anyone know what that...

Hi all. I am a new owner of an '07 Volvo XC90 3.2 AWD. So far it's a great vehicle and my wife and I love driving it.

One concern, though, for those who are more experienced in the '07 XC90s...my Sirius satellite radio "antenna" (really just a small black plastic dome on rear surface of vehicle exterior) has a wire coming out of its back, running to the plastic...

We have a 2003 XC90 and for the past couple of years we have experienced issues with the retractable side mirrors. At times, the two mirrors get out of synch and one of the mirrors is retracted while the other is not. Pressing the button causes the two mirrors to reverse their positions but you are still left with one retracted while the other is not. We can adjust one of the mirrors manually,...

Owners, I really am starting to grow tired of FM and crappy CD's. Can anyone offer advice on adding an ipod cable or adding some type of Sat. radio to the 2005 xc90? Please! I have looked all over the net and am getting conflicting information. It looks like Dension is the closest to an interface, but what do all of you Volvo guys think is the best option for a new source of music? ...

Im looking to buy a new 08 XC90 3.2, what kind of MPG are owners seeing?

Anyone ever deal with this code? It is for the intake air temp (IAT) sensor?


Thanks,

i am new to the forum, a read up on what to expect so to speak. It has been a joy to drive and I think that I got a halfway good deal. It has 27K mile, and got it for $19,500. Carfax said it was clean, no accidents. It was a lease trade in.

I am the owner of a XC90 2.5D.
This vehicle stopped to start 3 weeks ago.
The starter electric motor is running but the motor is not starting.
My XC90 is now in the Volvo garage but they don't know what is the problem except that it is a software problem.
In that case the garage has to follow the Volvo procedures.
That means Volvo (Sweden ?) tells to the garage what to...

I own a 2004 xc 90 D5. A cd got stuck in the cd box and I need to get to the cd box module behind the radio. Does anybody know how to safely remove the radio from the centre console in order to get behind it.

I have a 2003 XC90 D5 and I lose power to the instument panel. It started intermittently: sometimes fully working, then blank (all lights off, needles at zero). Now it is definitely broken!

I would appreciate any advice or suggestions...

Those times I have had it working, there have been a couple of warnings in the message centre (eg SRS airbag service urgent, brake...

Hello (and great to be a new member of this board)..

Does anyone know how the rear seat back release works- seats slide back but seat backs stuck upright!

Thanks

I am wondering how to go about taking out the cd player so I can hook up my amplifier for my subwoofers. I wanted to ask before I went about with my screw driver trying to pop off the trim around it. Has anyone done this? Do you know if the stock head unit has a remote line and rc jacks?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Sorry for 2 questions at once,,I am new on this forum, however I have had the XC90 for 2 years.

My chrome wheel lugs are rusty. I think that they are just lug nut covers? I am not sure on this, however is this happening on your wheel lug nuts?

The chrome strips that go around the windows are cloudy. At first the dealer said that if you polish them, then it goes away. I...

Hi,
I bought a 06 XC90 as a used one with 11k. from beginning I have a serious problem in the vehicle. VEHICLE LOOSING SPEED ALL ON A SUDDEN.
Ok, let me narrate this in detail.
First time when I encountered this incident, I was on the highway driving a long distance from Florida to Dallas from my car dealer. The dash board indicated I have 130 miles for tank to empty. The speed...

Hello,
I'm thinking to buy a XC90 2003 with 70k (16000). The car is pretty clean but I'm not sure if this is a good decision. So, like it is my first volvo I'll appreciate a lot if someone write me your opinion about engine, transmision, extension warranty, etc.
Actually the car has a little noise when it began to run but it desapear in a few seconds. The owner don't know...

Just purchased our XC90 after the lease expired. Its an '04 2.5T 31K miles and other than the fuel pump mount cracking hasnt had any issues at all. In fact the tires ( Michelin ) are just fine and original. Very happy with the car.

We drive about 9K a year. Extended waranties only go up to 7 years so as of August '08 we'll be out of the original warranty at about 40K...

Thanks for all of your helpful tire posts! We too are having to replace our Factory Pirelli Scorpion 235/65R/17 tires much earlier than anticipated at less than 17M miles on our '06 XC90. We live in Portland, OR and do mostly city driving. We want to get more life out of our next set and are considering H rated instead of V rated. Has anyone purchased/installed tires @ Costco? They...

Hi Everybody,

I have a 2004 XC90 and my remote locks only work intermittently. They could be fine for days/weeks and then not work for a few hours up to a few days, and then suddenly work again.

New batteries don't help. I saw a posting about turning the ignition on and off 4 times to re-set, but that didn't work either.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
