Hi,

I have a 2021 XC90 T5. It has 66k miles.

I have the car in for service on another issue, and I called about bringing my software up to date. They said they never update software unless specifically asked....and even then, if the car isn't under factory warranty (and at 50k or more miles, I'm not), they only do it with a $200 charge.

So, while I want to complain, I guess the more useful post would be....

What am I missing out on by not updating the computer? I use CarPlay, so I don't use Volvo's navigation system. What else goes on here? Am I screwing myself by not paying the $200?

Hey guys,

I have found a dog gate for the XC60 (2009-2017) on craigslist. Will this one be compatible with my V60 (2011)?

That is basically the question.
I live in the boonies, so its an hour and a half to go look at this car. But the real question I have is.....how usable is the back seat? A Mustang back seat is not really for anyone over maybe the age of 3. (At least it wasnt in the early 2000's)

Looking at the Volvo it appears like it is a more family friendly convertible. But with the hard top and all of that....maybe the back seat is really still just for a couple of bags of groceries?

Spoke to my local dealer today and 80% of MY25 XC90 orders placed in my region prior to 90/90 day are at risk.

Consumers have requested refund and/or discounts in light of immediate availability of MY25.5.

I've had a Volvo in my driveway for quite some years. Usually an XC90 but for the past few years also a beautiful S60 T6 that I love.

The XC90 threw an error on the AWD and it turned out to be the Haldex. OK... I was a bit sad but there's plenty of spares and second hand items around for that one and new is not a train smash.

But, a few weeks later my baby the S60 went and did the same thing. Its intermittent at the moment but getting worse.

Any ideas on if this part can be serviced (I have looked locally)or if I need to stump up what seems like 1/4 of the vehicle value for a new Haldex?

Where I am this is around $3000

Any advice? Any leads on 2nd hand?

Hi all, soon I will be buying my first Volvo car and apparently the warranty comes with roadside assistance. Hence I was wondering how reliable is their breakdown assistance. I am currently with AA and can’t complain but will probably cancel it as the Volvo one is charge free. Thanks in advance.

I accidentally broke the center emblem on my 2021 s60. I can't figure out the part number and my volvo dealer wants to do the whole steering wheel which is over a grand. I just want to find and replace the part.

I've got a 2020 V60 Polestar I'm thinking of selling. It's got under 70k kilometres on it. Great condition. Not many of these around so I can't get a good idea of value. What do you think it's worth?

I want a wagon or an SUV. No crossovers. I’d prefer something older than 2007 that’s not very expensive or difficult to maintenance. I don’t have to mention reliability since this is a Volvo forum hahaha! I do most of my automotive work myself, I don’t own a garage or lift. Ease and cost of maintenance and reliability are my only focus. Thanks in advance to anyone who replies!

I’ve lost all function recently, HVAC dtcs like crazy (Lin bus failure for every component) controls all seem to work but nothing actually happens. Scan tool shows all dampers in 0 position regardless of command. No heat at all and coolant is good, no overheating problems. Heated seats inop. Fan only blows on low setting even when maxed (changed the resistor cause I fixed my buddys 07 v70 like that, didn’t fix mine) Apparently bad CCMs are half common in these cars? Would anyone say it would be a pretty safe bet to just change the module based on everything going bad all at once? CCM is getting battery voltage and the ground for it looks good.

My 2020 XC60 D5 R-design is approaching it's 100,000 km mark and is due for service, any reccomendations on what to focus on or lookout for?

Anyone have any tips on european side where i could possibly get a EGR Temprature sensor, or how should i go by fixing it, error code 4-1-3 points to EGR Temprature Sensor no signal or incorrect signal.

I have a 2023 XC40 (electric). Recently whenever I respond to a message that the car reads to me, it will confirm the message, say that it is sent, only for me to discover it was never sent and not showing on my iphone at all. If I initiate a message to that person I don’t have the same issue. It is so frustrating and I don’t know how to fix the problem. My car and iPhone are both up to date on software

Hello everyone,

I recently acquired my first car, a 1999 Volvo S70! Aside from some general issues expected of her age, it runs like a dream. Well. Sometimes after performing a long trip, the airconditioning will start pushing hot air and the car will lose strength.

It continues to run, but it's basically just idling, pushing my foot all the way to the ground will do nothing, it will barely push any revs and will gain absolutely no speed. On the highway, if it hits a small incline it will struggle immensely, to the point I was dangerously doing 40kms in a 100 zone. But then, after a short while, it will come right again! (Generally after turning it off overnight.)

I took it into a mechanic who utilised their "scanner" and said that the computer recorded no faults and then charged me 70 dollars. On the way home from the mechanic, it did it again. Hooray.

This has happened twice now, and both times on the tailend of a longer trip. We've checked the battery, the engine, all the easily checked by a layman stuff and she all seems fine. Does anybody have any idea as to what is happening?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone, I know this will be biased but how much would you hypothetically pay for my v70? -2004 2.5T AWD w/90,000 miles on it -automatic transmission, all fluids changed regularly at Volvo dealership -garage kept for its entire lifespan (I’m in the northeast) -only mod is a touchscreen w/backup camera I put in after the stereo went out -minor dings and bumps (previous owner is a senior citizen and was a honing missile for mailboxes) I got it a few months back from a family friend, it’s been my first and only Volvo and while the car is the smoothest and coziest ride I’ve ever had and I’ll definitely get a Volvo again one day, I need a truck so I’m looking to sell. Any and all feedback is appreciated, like I said I love Vagn (that’s his name) but I am looking to say goodbye. I’ve seen higher mileage and lower-trim versions of this car going for good money on bringatrailer, and while I know that prices get crazy on that website, I figured I should shoot my shot before the mileage hits six digits.

Does anybody know the name of these rims?

How tf do you align the rear lca bolt? The outer one from the lca to the knuckle/shock. I have been trying all day and I cannot align it. Prying and using a jack. Does anyone have a tip or a tool I should use? Im able to get the LCA on if I start with the outer bolt first and then do the inner one second (without the spring inserted) but as soon as I do it "how you're supposed to" by doing inner first with spring seated in-between subframe and lca, and then outer bolt, it is completely useless.
