Had a CC problem with my Land rover and it was a vaccum leak problem....

The T6 is notorious for transmission problems.... to a point where there's lawsuites going on.... pass and find a 2002-2006 2.5T or 2006+ V8 or 2007+V6

Nothing that I know of, other than the fact that they are older... ?!?

Cannot really debate the subject, since I am fairly new to Volvo (3 years) and to be honest, I moved from a nightmarish Land rover to Volvo and before making the move, I researched the subject,...

A search with that code leads to a faulty hose to the evap canister. That hose goes from the gas tank to the canister !?!

Hype is very real, best engine combo ever used in XC90 is 2005-2006 2.5T according to my local Volvo dealer service manager, confirmed by independant Volvo shops around here. That is why I went ahead...

Not sure what makes you sure that your fuel pressure sensor needs to be replaced, but a Volvo mechanic once shared the info that when a fuel problem happens, it is often due to the fuel pump...

Was your check engine code erased ??? If not, reset it and see..... If the problem was solved, it won't come back. What model XC90 do you have ???

My 2.5T XC90 does incredibly well in snow also. In fact, I went from an unreliable Land rover to my XC90, and must say that my XC90 moves much quicker from a stop than my land rover did. That LR was...

I agree perfectly that Volvo should have stepped to the plate and recall all T6 models. However, it is my understanding that the problem is not in the transmission, but more in the way the...

Hahaha... I hear you about mileage.... depends where you come from..... I come from a Land Rover Discovery.... so my 2.5T is like a toyota yaris to me :)

That is an excellent warranty as long as they are an established dealership and are known to respect what they offer... Be sure to get everything in writting. As for the V8 reliability, I think only...

I think it will be obvious if you need an alignment. Once installed, if it steers and pulls straight, I'd leave it like that. If it pulls even just a bit, I'd get an alignment. By doing so, they'll...

No big deal. But please post a few pics once installed.

I understand. My 90 is illusion blue. Blue so dark that it looks black unless the sun shines directly on it, revealing the blue metal flakes.

Very nice !!!! I have same model wheels for winter and they look great and stealthy painted black !!! Especially along with 255/60r17 which are same diameter, but much wider than stock size........

Would be interested... please post pics with them on the car.

Congrats, what about pictures ???

Geez, that sucks !!! At least you were lucky enough to rapidly find it. It is a good thing that the damage is obvious. Hopefully you'll find the part quickly.

Start the car, turn the light on, get out, remove the light housing by removing the 2 strap pins, lay the light on its face, remove the seal caps at the rear and play with the connections.... You can...

I'd like to welcome you on here like if I was one of the big honchos, but like you, I am basically new here myself... My 2005 XC90 2.5T has only had that PCV crack tube and exhaust solenoid problems...

Sorry, been busy... I don't think your loss of oil has anything to do with that hose, as you found it is part of the evap/anti polution system and transports vapors and not oil. My guess is that your...

That's the pcv hose. I changed mine a few weeks ago. They are known to fail. You can get a replacement one at the dealer. The new one will be rubber instead of plastic and should cost around $30.00....

I beg to differ my friend..... tirerack .com says 255/55r18 fit on rims ranging from 7'' to 9'' wide...

255/55r18 is as sexy as you can go on stock 18 inch wheels.... stance should look almost the same from the front. I painted mine black and it looks pretty stealth..... some even like that look better...
