Re: Knocking noise

Are you sure its not the ethanol? I have recently figured out, I can not use any ethanol. on my car, (XC90 05 FWD, 2.5T) I will get some engine knocking noise as I am trying to pass a car, or just speeding up to normal speed. once it starts to knock you let go of the accelerator, and then gently ...

I tend to call it a burp. because the system is sealed, it only drops about a pint. I did change the orings a couple years ago, and it started leaking reliably on temp changes. One ...

Rear window Angels wings? (rear wiper)

Hi Guys, I am trying to find out about my Rear windows Angel wings? There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the motor. But I have heard a rough noise occasionally. For some reason the wiper clears one side, at the top it misses, and then finishes clearing the other side.

When I bought the car ...

Re: Is this "limp mode"? What's going on?

So, your problem is going to be different, because you don't have sunroof drains. that leaves AC drains, and maybe the drain under the hood. Youtube has videos on those repairs. PS, you didn't give your vehicle info, so its hard to image what commonalities you might have. my XS90 05 2.5T, had the ...

Re: 08 XC90 Brake caliper torx bolts

My O5 XC90 uses Torx 55. I would have appreciated it if had been allen (hex), it would have saved me a trip to the Menards.Then after that trip, It wasnt' the bolts that I needed to take off. There was a 14mm that was what I needed.
