Volvo forum + help for owners

This moring my blower motor stopped working. So when I got home my 13 year old son and myslef took it apart. When I unplugged the molex plug from the resister it was melted. It is the plug that goes back to the car. Also there was a burn mark on where it plugs into the resister also. I didnt smell a...

Thank you all for the response’s some are funny and very interesting!!

Update I filled up with shell nitro 93 and in a half tank can notice the difference!!

I have been using shell 87oct gas, runs good. Should I be using the shell 93 nitro gas in it? it is a 6cly non tubo.

It doesn’t do it all the time, like this week I have not had to add any antifreeze.

Thank you both, I did not see and residue and or leaking fluid.

Hello, I have been wondering as of this winter when I turned the heat on. I smelled a very slight smell of antifreeze in the cabin of the car. The heat works great, I checked my anti freeze level and it was low. I add more antifreeze but I do not see any leaking on the ground. I put down cardboard b...

WOW thank you all for the answers!!!!!!!!!

Yes you are correct, only shell 93 v power for the saab. The Volvo I use shell 89 octane.

No winter tires used on mine, but I thought it might be a MAF issue or something along those lines?

Hello everyone, I have noticed that I get better gas mileage in the summer months as opposed to the winter months. I cant figure out why? I live in new England and I understand that in the winter months the gas is blended. Also I know I warm the car up longer but still it is a least a 100 mile diffe...

would you know the best way to adjust them? Thank you

Can you adjust the beam height on the fog lights? Thank you

Last week my drivers side passengers door wont unlock when I try to unlock it. If you unlock it from the inside it will lock fine. Also when you try to pull the handle from the inside when it is locked it makes a click sound. It was working fine then just poof not working. I checked the child lock b...

Hi all, I bought the car with 89,000 on it and have just changed the oil. The previous owner really took care of it. I’m not sure what maintenance they did but it is in excellent shape. I am going to change the plugs but is there anything else I should do. I can’t do much myself. But basic things bu...

Thank you for the info

Hello when I was looking up a part it asked me for my motor number. It started with a letter, I can’t find the dam thing anywhere. I think it has the letter B in it and most likely stamped on the block somewhere. It is my first Volvo, so a little of a learning curve. I have owned Saab’s for ever and...

I have looked on Eeuro for spark plugs and they have a bunch of different ones, two types that carry the Volvo name. In my saab I use nkg plugs which that car loves. But I am not sure how Volvo's do with them.

You can never be to picky, I have owned nothing but Saab’s before this suv. I am very picky and just want to make sure I put the best correct part in the car! Thank you

Perfect thank you

With the spark plugs should I use the NGK laser iridium ones? or the Volvo ones? The only coils I saw were on eeuro and they have the oem ones but they are not made by bosch. Should I still look for the Bosch ones or use the oem Volvo ones?

Thank you

Hello,
I just bought a 09 Xc90 3.2 r design with 95,000 on it. Should I change the spark plugs and ignition coils? I’m not sure what else is involved in a tune up on these? Thank you

Hello, A couple of days ago , I changed all of my rear tail lights except the turn signal one over to Led's. But now I get a message on my dash that says check stop lights and bulb failure position light. Could this be because of the LED'S? They all work and I checked my high position light to see i...
