Alright, so I figured it out. It looks like there was about a 2" tear in the upper hose connecting to the intercooler. That explains why it kept dying because the MAFS was giving the ECU a reading, there was a huge vacuum leak in the system. Anyway, a $57 fix and the MAFS is being returned.

So my '04 2.5T decided to stall out on my wife yesterday. Luckily, it was right next to our house so our friendly neighbor helped her push it to the side of the street. Anyway, the symptoms of it are, the car will start, then as it attempts to idle, it will stall. It sort of feels like it is floodin...

Unfortunately there isn't anything else to do. The changers in these cars are crap. After opening up one on the inside, it is all made out of flimsy plasic and metal and if one tooth skips a cog, the whole thing craps out.

Hey Guys, I need your help with this one. My angle gear went out on my 04 XC90 2.5T. I am planning on purchasing the unit from a fellow member who says that it is coming out of a 05 S60 AWD with P/N 36000340. I searched various part sites and they all list this part as able to fit my vehicle. He fin...

I would not even try to take the disc out. The changers in these vehicles are very finicky and break easily. Unforutnately the 6-disc changer in my car stopped working all together and now all it says is "Deck Error". My wife made me retrieve her CD's in it and when I took it out, it looke...

So today after work I started my '04 2.5T AWD to go home and when it started up, it sounded like a pickup truck. I gently got it home and looked under the car and wow, it looks like the weld from the flange that attaches to the turbo to the elbow compeletly went and the downpipe is now about 1/4&quo...

Alright, so I am replacing the AOC pressure/temp sensor on my XC90 and I want to make sure I put it in correctly. There is a convex/concave washer and a seal/gasket. Does the seal go between the washer and the DEM or the washer and the sensor? Also, which way do I put the washer, convex side towards...

I don't know if my experience was the same but one very cold morning (hovering around 0 F) when I went to turn on the radio, it said "High Performance Sound" then went blank. Pressed the power again, same thing. After the cabin got a little warmer, the radio started working with a catch. I...

I am looking for the best place to buy the Temp/pressure sensor for an 04 XC90 2.5t. Anyone have any recommendations?

Craig, I know all XC90's aren't AWD :wink: I DO know mine is though because I have physically seen my AWD components when I was under my car doing an oil change. I do trust the mechanic I sent it to I was just looking for a second opinion. The more I look into this, the more I see that this is more ...
