I bought a awd 2003 XC90 T6.. Loved it! Had 180,000 miles on it when I got it, tons of electrical problems.. water entry from the moon roof, anyways replaced the turbo pressure switch and brakes, tires, alternator, battery, etc.. Never once had a problem with the tranny. I used it to tow my boats ar...

Found the culprit, as usual after a lot of swearing. Only when sealing off the drain with tape and having water standing, it started sipping through into the blower motor. There seems to be an internal seal within that black cover that allows some leaking through. Perhaps helpful for anyone who is t...

Thanks for the info in this thread. I started getting a BCM-0070 this weekend after the car got hot, but only upon starting again after parking for a few minutes. No other errors. I pulled an ABS pump from a 06 S60 on the way home today and swapped it out with the goal of taking mine apart to take a...

Hello. Today my car died at parking lot, I wasn't able to start it. It was starting, and then die after 2 seconds. Lately I also had problem with fluctuating rpm and stuff. So I towed it back home with my brother car. Tip, always check if you have a towing hook at the trunk, I bought my car without ...

SO tonight I decided it was "do or die" time for my eBay vinyl armrest cover replacement. I fired up VIDA and studied the (wholly inadequate) diagrams and then started going at it. Turns out that the armrest top (just the top, not the cupholder) is three distinct parts. After removing the ...

Even though we 96 upwards p80 owners know that the ABS/Tracs double orange means the module is faulty - it's not always the case, as I will photoproof here. Interestingly, the lights were off in dry wearher and only came on in rauny condiruons, which made me suspect the wiring. I guess a tiny rock g...

I have a 140 amp Bosch alternator off my ‘07 S60. It squeaks a little on cold start and works fine. What I thought was a bearing noise turned out to be a bent fin. I straightened it, so all it does is squeak some. The pulley bolt is stripped so the pulley can’t be replaced. It won’t last forever, bu...

After finishing up installing a brand new do88 IC, new radiator, blue timing belt, Snabb piping kit, a tune, and a various amount of other parts which cost me $thousands$ :oops: on my 06 s60R, to my disappointment, the car wouldn't run right. Started with a super high idle, and then drop super low a...

3.2 Owners, I just watched a video of a XC90 3.2 with a failed Thermostat. The surprising thing is that the failure mode appears to be non standard. Common failure mode for 3.2 Thermostat 1. Cracked plastic due to return spring shear force and thermal cycles (Fatigue or Creep rupture is the likely p...
