• Volvo XC90 2005 Xenon lhd/rhd 17 Oct 2006 (Forum)
  I have been living in Germany & shortly will return to UK, along with my lhd XC90 with the old (fixed) bi-xenons. I see from this site that the (new) directional bi-xenons are switcheable for lhd/rhd. But what about the old ones? I tried my Volvo garage but they were unhelpful.
• Volvo XC90 (2002 - ) - 04 2.4 D5 engine durability 14 Sep 2009 (Forum)
  I have a Volvo XC90 D5 SE Geartronic which I bought new in June 2004 and which has covered 35,000 miles. I read the recent auction report on this site that stated that an XC90 price reflected the common problems and expense with injector failure.
• Volvo XC90 Roadtest 9 Jun 2006 (Forum)

• Volvo XC90 - Updating Volvo XC90 4 Mar 2016 (Forum)
  Hi- We bought an 04 plate XC90 in Feb 2012 with 65000 miles for £10k. It's been a great car and fairly trouble-free apart from suspension work (bushes, arms, ARB links, etc) which I suspect are down to a combination of age and the godawful roads around these parts.

• VW Tourag or Volvo XC90 ? 9 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  I am looking at replacing my 5 yr old Seat Alhambra with either new SUV (possibly the new Peugeot 4007 or Citroen C Crosser) or, alternatively getting a 2-3 yr old quality SUV such as the Tourag or XC90. I tow a caravan and need a fairly heavy tow car. If I went for the new Pug or Citroen I would need to get a loan of about £5k The Volvo/ VW at 2-3 yrs old would mean no loan and thats probably the route I will go and i will go for 2.5l diesel but of the 2 which is better?!!

  I have been reading previous reviews regarding the disintergrtion of cambelt tensioners on xc90 can anybody let me know what there outcome was?  My story briefly is: bought a 2003 xc90 with 64400 miles and was given a 28 day warrenty by the garage.  On day 30 returned the car due to a loud knocking noise, the garage told me to "take it home and bring it back tomorrow and the mechanic will have a look at it for you" - guess what never made it home!!

• Volvo XC90 - Car not starting on test drive 27 Feb 2019 (Forum)
  Hello Folks, In the market for a XC90 with a budget of up to 20K. Went for a test drive today to a Volvo dealer to try a 14 plate 36000 on the clock vehicle. The car won't start so they had to jump start it (took a few attempts), the car was then left running for 10 minutes before I took it for a 15 minutes drive.
