06 XC90 Taillight replacement

Looking for instructions on how to replace the passenger side taillight lens as my 18 year old daughter backed into a mailbox and broke the lens.
I've looked it over and can't see where or how to remove the old one so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Buying a used xc90. Are there model years to avoid?

Not sure about other model years, but I have a 2006 with 62,000 miles and in the past 2 months, I've replaced the right rear wheel bearing, then the left rear went out, broke and somehow fused on to the axle. Now I need to have the wheel bearing, axle, caliper mounts and possibly caliper replaced at ...

Volvo mechanic in Southern WI

Hi All, been a long time since I've posted, actually since my son wrecked my 94 850. We're now the proud owners of a 2006 XC90 and I'm looking for advice regarding mechanics in the Southern Wisconsin area.

Anyone have any good ones they would like to share with me?

Thanks in advance.

94 850 Damaged sub-frame....need advice!

Hi All,

I haven't posted for a while since my son bent the sub-frame on my '94 850 wagon by somehow driving into a curb (don't ask how, I'm still not sure how it happened and never did get a straight answer).

Anyway, I have a bit of a dilemma. It would kill me to part with this car as I love it to ...

94 850 Depressed in Madison

Hello everyone,

I've just received some depressing news on my 94 850 that I've invested countless hours working on and enjoying driving.

My 17 year old son has had his license for about a month now and was coming home in a rainstorm last week when a curb apparently jumped out in front of him. As a ...

Need some more advice from you, thanks in advance for any.

I just finished removing my old heater blower motor following the instructions on the YouTube video posted earlier. The instructions were right on, the old one came out easily, and the new one went in and is all mounted. All ...

94 850 Windshield Wipers sssssllllllooowwwwww

Hi Guys,

My 94 850's windshield wipers are running very slowly these days, so much so that I can't really drive when there's any moisture or snow on the road.

I replaced the battery thinking that they possibly ran off that but that didn't help. Any suggestions? Is there a motor that's going bad ...

There's a yard down a little south of Denver off Highway 85/87 (Santa Fe Drive) that I used when I lived out there. Can't remember the name but they always had what I needed for my 94 850.

If you go south on I-25 to C-470 west to 85/87 then go south to around the entrance to Chatfield reservoir it ...

'94 850 Overheating

Hi guys,

Need some thoughts on an issue that is happening in my 94 850.

Due to a leak I recently replaced the radiator and now the temperature holds steady at 3 o'clock. But, if the car idles for 10-15 minutes, the temperature will begin to climb and will eventually overheat. I've also replaced ...

Odometer reading on my '94 850 is 164,000 but it quit working back in September. I drive about 90 miles to and from work daily so I figure it has about 180,000 now.

Odometer fix is next up, followed by obtaining the correct mileage.
