I have been told by Volvo service personnel that the DRL's cannot be disabled BUT you can control which lights come on ( I had a 2004 XC90 with BiXenon Headlamps). You can do that with the headlight selector switch. If the switch is placed in the upward ( on ) position, the BiXenons will come on dur...

I have installed floor mats in two XC90 ( 2004 AWD and 2006 AWD). They are a bit difficult to install but if you use some "friendly persuasion) they will snap over the shoulder of the mounting studs. A little plain water might help ( rubbed on the underside surface of the floor mate immediately...

Yesterday, as I was driving home, the "check engine" light came on. I checked the Gas Filler Cap and it was securely in place. I did a visual check of the engine and underside of the vehicle and found nothing wrong. I checked engine lube oil and the cooling water and all is well. This bein...

How to check auto trans fluid level

When I took delivery of my 2004 XC90 AWD, I spent several days and many hours trying to find out where/how to do this basic maintenance check. What I learned is (according to the dealership service folks ) "the transmission does not require checking"?!?!?!) Why, I don't have the foggiest i...

XC90 Questions/information/etc.

Matthew, Is this the site on which information can be shared about XC90 vehicles? Or, is there another portion of the site planned for that forum? Thanks for this wonderful forum for learning and sharing.

I had problems with minor vibrations/noise from the front suspension in my '94 850 Wagon. I eliminated the problems after I replaced the Struts, Top Strut Spring Seats ( rubber ) and the Anti-Sway Bar Links. Also, there is the possibility that the problem of the vibration may be coming from an out-o...

I had the same problem with my 1994 850 Station Wagon. I found the gear on the internet at a speedometer shop in Richmond, VA. I purchased the gear and installed it for approximately $42.00 (US). The hardest part of the job was removing the top portion of the dashboard in order to uncover the remova...
