2003 XC90 questions
Donated our 1990 240 wagon last month (loved that car!) and just got a 2003 XC90. It's in pretty good shape, but has a few problems:
windshield washer doesn't work
liftgate doesn't stay up
3rd bench driver's side seat doesn't fold down
any suggestions for any of those problems would be appreciated - thanks!

do you hear the pump make a noise when you pull the right stalk towards you? it maybe empty
liftgate doesn't stay up
www.parksgeek.com can send you out replacement for a nominal fee of $50 a pair
3rd bench driver's side seat doesn't fold down
make sure the bottom cushion is pushed all the way in before you try and fold it down

2003 xc90 questions
Thanks for all the suggestions - I'll check into the website for the liftgate struts. No, no sound when I pull the stalk for the windshield wiper - definitely some kind of leak, since I filled the reservoir and then saw it was empty 2 days later (after no use). And definitely something mechanical wrong with the seat - in comparing it to the one that does fold down, it looks like there might be a missing piece on the side that might have to fit into the back to make it fold down? It's a 2.5T model. Thanks again!

that means the pump is not pumping, does not 100% mean there is a leak. pump/reservoir is under the front right headlamp. from the bottom looking up you can see the pump and the electrical connector. check there.

3rd row seat bottom has a handle on the side towards the outside of the car. pull up while you push back on the seat bottom. when it slides all the way in, then it releases the seat back to come down. no handle or anything. make sure the compartment under the floor is empty. you can have two people help you do it, then you can if anything is obstructing it from sliding in.
It's a 2.5T model.
one of the more reliable xc90's out there! good choice or was is just lucky choice?
