Re: Thumping from front of vehicle

I had the car aligned, and the thumping reduced a lot but did not go away. However, it was only about a week before the sounds of the thumping completely returned to the point of being annoying. Not to mention, bad for the car to have something pounding like that. After doing some reading, I don't t...

Re: Thumping from front of vehicle

Here is the video of the thumping sound. You can see the steering wheel is not level when driving straight, it's at the 2 and 8 o'clock position but I don't think that is related. As I go into the right hand turn the sound begins.

Re: Air Conditioning help in the Middle East

It doesn't seem to matter if it's in Manual Mode or Automatic. I did some more trouble shooting and found something else really odd. In the Auto mode for the vent selection, air blew out of the dashboard. But when I switched the temperature selection to the upper hotter temperatures, the vents close...

Thumping from front of vehicle

As I am driving straight down the road, the car rides fine. As soon as I am decelerating and/or turning right, I get a thumping sound from what appears to be in the right tire well area. Significant enough to send the vibrations through the car. When I accelerate and/or turn left it goes away. Not s...

Air Conditioning help in the Middle East

First off, my temperature control knobs do not seem to have any effect on the temperature in the cabin. I can set cold and I can set heat and it will always come out relatively cold. It went unnoticed for several users I'm sure because in the middle east, when would you need heat. Here is the other ...

Re: '04 XC90 Headlight Downgrade bi-Xenon to Halagen

I am in a similar situation. Long story short, to keep cost down I replaced my bi-xenon with halogen and I get the same light with the same comment from the dealer. I was waiting on headlight costs to drop far enough over time to replace, or possible find a junkyard swap. Never have though, so the H...

Re: How do I get to the Throttle body on XC-90

Hey I am trying to do the same thing. Did you ever get a response. I have already changed my fuel filter and spark plugs and now I am facing the throttle to clean it.

Re: Is 11.5mpg too low for a 04 2.5t?

Have you tried replacing the Fuel Filter? When was it changed last? Not sure if this would help but if it is do for a replacement you might give it a shot. I replaced mine and provided a how to video on YouTube if you want to give it a try. Its so easy to do.

Someone please help us diagnose this. Mine works giving right turn indications, but left is intermittent. I ...
