Factory Software Upgrades
Factory Software Upgrades
How can I find out if my 2001 XC has had the software upgrades for the transmission etc (any stickers of anything
)? Have no records from the former owner. How can I tell if if it has the original ETM?Is there anything else I should look for as far as recalled equipment? Can anybody recomend any "preventative"maintanence techniques I can follow with regular maintanence? Absolutely love my car, but have no warranty, got to make her last as long as my 94 855T.

With the VIN#, the dealer should be able to tell you what upgrades it has had or even what work it has had done at any Volvo dealer. In regards to maitenance, I'll let other XC owners answer.

broken record here....change the oil. Now do it again. Clean the oil trap yesterday. Ignore maitainence guide in glovebox - written by a moron.Oh, same guy who designed car, huh.
now while on your search to find your old 855, stop & change the oil again. That slight howl you here is because your front tires have slightly more wear than your rears. It will stop soon enough when your front diff blows. Speaking of blows, "I love this car"???
