Frequently Asked Questions For New Volvo Owners...
I see a lot of questions asked over and over again from new site members. I am going to fill this post with these questions as they arise "again". If you have any suggestions or additions, feel free to post to it. I will come back from time to time to clean it up a little.

Maintenance Required by Owner-Clearing Sunroof Drains bi annually
That should be required reading by ANYONE who owns a Volvo with a Sunroof , because it is NOT mentioned in the owners manual. Is Not covered by warranty or the extended warranty.
It often catches newbie car owners off-guard because many of us own other cars whose sunroofs are NOT designed the same way Volvo has designed theirs. Plus if you park in sheltered / garaged parking normally and perhaps go on vacation when car is not parked under shelter you may experience problems if your drains are not clear and you experience heavy rains. |

I was wondering My brakes on my car feel soft some times and sometimes the pedal goes to the floor. I was going to try and flush the brake system and then put in all new fluid. But the book says to use Dot 4 brake fluid I have only seen dot3 and dot 5 anyone know where I can get dot 4?
|
Jermaine - go to Auto Zone - they have Prestone Dot 4 readily available. Most auto stores do.

On their website
There is an immediate response for the RADIO CODE after completing this form:

That will only work if you have the ORIGINAL radio installed in the car you are trying to get the code for.

Lots of fluids meet both DOT 3 and 4 specs. Castrol LMA was my favorite. Just read the labels carefully.

Used 2017 cx90 should I buy?
hello, I've never owned a Volvo and am looking in purchasing a used 2017 cx90. It's a 4 cly with T6. Are the newer models built as well as the older? Would you recommend? The one I want comes with a 7yr/100k warranty. Any help would be appreciated.
|
That's almost a new car. Make sure you have a warranty, and an extended one if you intend to keep it for a while.
Myself, I'd not buy a newer Volvo. After being a volvohaulic since 1986, Volvo today is a but a name only: made in China (if the first VIN letter is L), overly complicated, with a very poor maintenance history for recent models. The bling is there, as is the built in disposability, not your father's Volvo anymore--don't expect longevity unless you are ready to spend lavishly which by the way is the case with all Euro lux brands... |
Hi,
I just got myself a 2006 XC90 a week ago and I found that the centre seat 2nd row the seatbelt is stuck and unable to pull in out to use and unable to fold the seat down. Im new to this forum and grateful for any help one could offer. Or even point me in the correct direction within the forum. Many thanks. Derek W |
Brake and Engine communication
when brake is applied to a volvo dump truck AD35 when moving the entire engine goes off. What is the cause of the problem ? |
Idk why my wheel is cambered
Recently I drove my Volvo s60r and my rear right wheel cambered In. I don’t know if it’s a ball joint or if it’s adjustable rear camber or a bent control arm. If any one knows what this could be please let me know. 🙂
