XC90 2006 Headlamp Failure message

I have a 2006 xc90 and I am getting a headlight failure message when the light switch is in the lights on position. Lights work fine when when the switch is in the auto position. When I get the message the lights point down to the ground for a few seconds and then come back up to the normal position...

Re: XC90 V8 2006 Alarm issue

I think you have to press the switch with the vehicle on and then you have a time limit (maybe 30 seconds) to get out and lock it. Check to be sure this is correct in the manual. I hope this helps.

Re: volvo v40

Check to make sure all the doors are closed including the hood (or is it bonett?) and tail gate. I remember something like that happening to me. I opened then closed the hood and it fixed it self.

V8 lifter noise

When starting up after it sits for a few of hours the lifters bleed down and are noisy for a bit. It is especially noisy in the morning and takes a minute to calm down. The dealer said this is normal for all the 4.4ls. I find it horrible to listen to and wondering if anyone else has this problem.

Re: Brake Dust-2009 XC90 R-design

I changed to Munroe pads on my v40 and it reduced the dust dramaticaly with no difference in stopping. I can't wait to change the ones on the xc90. The factory ones don't last long. The first set was changed by the dealer at 27K and I am now at 46K. Raybestos is a good brand to go with also. The rot...

17"s are the smallest you can have to clear the front brakes.

Re: xc90 2006 suspension level sonsor location

I have done some reading and it seems that the rear shocks may be Nivamat self leveling shocks. I saw somewhere that they sold a level sensor. That is what got me thinking about lowering. If they are Nivamats is there a way to adjust the ride hight?

Re: XC90 cup lid

Hello Stone, When I was looking for my XC90 a found that 90% of them had trouble with the door. They either would not stay closed, or they would not open because of the pen holder. One dealer told me that only an adjustment is required. Mind you he is a salesman but I'm sure he had been asked about ...
