Thank you so much for sharing. You have new failure modes that I haven't seen on the Volvo 3.2 (Note: it is shared with Land Rover and I own one of each) I started a thread on the Land Rover board about 7 years ago and you are on the path to catching up on the deferred maintenance https://www.freel...

ChitownV makes a very good point. The original Sparkplugs were likely sourced from more than one vendor. Looking at the pictures above you have the following information on your old sparkplugs - Made in Japan - ILFR6B Those are NGK Sparkplugs I prefer the Denso Iridium TT but I don't have any data ...

First: ChitownV is giving you excellent advice..........continue to follow that advice If I was fixing this XC90 I would do the following 1) Verify that the PCV is working using the glove test and if I had any doubts then I would get an aftermarket PCV marked with FOMOCO 2) Get a set of Denso Iridi...

3. Failed Purge Valve (fuel vapor recovery) That could be the problem. Where is this located on my car? https://www.freel2.com/gallery/albums/userpics/13868/Butterfly.jpg https://www.freel2.com/gallery/albums/userpics/13868/193F3C21-6DEE-4B27-97D9-57B7A614AC6E.jpeg When mine failed the Engine was m...

Pending code P2227 - barometric pressure sensor intake manifold I need to disclose something; I broke the latch for the connector on my MAP sensor about a year ago and I did what I would call a field expedient repair. I RTV the connector body to the MAP sensor. And this worked for about a year. I d...

My 2008 LR2 3.2 and 2010 S80 3.2 both are capable of getting much higher MPG than what you are getting. The XC90 is bigger so it won't be quite as good but it should be close Note: to get good highway fuel economy you will need to keep the RPMs under 2000 (about 64 MPH for my 3.2's) FREE2 READERS, T...

Great info, thanks! .......................................................................................................... **Replaced the Fuel Pressure Sending unit DO THESE NEED CHECKING IF NO ERROR CODE IS PRESENT? .................................................................................

The most likely cause for P0171 and P0174 is the PCV and I believe that you have a Volvo part. Edit: you had Volvo replace this about a year ago so it is unlikely that it has failed so soon. I would check to make sure that the bolts are tight because I found loose bolts on my S80 PCV and I assume th...

I hope you don't mind me coming in on an old thread but did you get this fixed? I have a very similar sound with an xc70 T6. One garage has already replaced the top right mount but it had no effect on the noise. Hi! As mentioned in my above post, your car doesn’t typically make noise due to a faile...
