Brought my car in today for 15K maintenance. Mentioned the rusted lugs and the service rep tried to "sell" me the chrome caps. Told him I did not like that solution and he promised me to talk to his...
I like this feature since otherwise you could run into a problem during a sunny day when you decide to go to the car wash and have completely forgotten about the wiper position.......
Thanks Lintbrush. That's at least some consolation for me. I agree our freeway congestion may contribute, but still does not explain how people can achieve 33mpg on the highway on a long stretch at...
James,
That's exactly in the ballpark where I would expect it to be. I guess my 2004 XC mileage on such a trip would be very similar. I'm still puzzled by Gibbons' figures....... Anybody else who...
Another thought that came to mind that may negatively affect my mileage here in California is our gas. As you know MTBE is banned and they use ethanol now as an additive. Anybody has an idea if this...
Gibbons, I'm still puzzled by your mileage figures. They are so different from what I get on my 04 XC. Is it the elavation difference, is it the driving style, is it the Californian weather or are...
I envy Gibbons. His mileage figures are indeed impressive. I use premium gas (Shell V-power) and don't use synthetic oil. My odometer currently reads 10K miles and I still have the Pirelli STR tires....
Sworsk,
I als have a 2004 model and see the same behavior. It always happens during daylight. Sometimes you can dim it, sometimes not. I've always blamed the light sensor for this, but have not...
This worked for me in August:
This is a web-based program. Below is a basic listing of how everything flows.
1. They access the website, using the address noted in the announcement letter....
I sent mine in at the end of August. No reply from Volvo so far. I did however got my delivery confirmation from USPS so they must have received it.
Lintbrush,
Next time if you hear the noise switch your fan to the off position (red led) and
find out if the noise is still there. If not, you have the same noise as I have in my
04 model....
wiz,
thanks for that information about Haldex. This is new for me. So that means with the haldex you don't run into the problems that are described on this site with the donut spare? I mean as...
We bought our XC three weeks ago at Smythe in San Jose and indeed they do give you a free loaner when your car is serviced, also if it's part of the free maintenance or because of warranty issues....
Thanks everybody who reacted to this topic. Indeed if I switch the fan the the off position the sound is gone. Never realised it was cause by the ventilation system, but alwasy suspected the engine....
Hi awd*V70XC,
I think I know what you mean since I have the same kind of noise. It's very hard to describe I know. Does it happen at all speeds. In my case it most frequently appears during...
Hunterxc,
Thaks for the details.
My wife called the number you specified but this time the guy was not so friendly (maybe it was another person). Told her this was the incorrect number and indeed...
Hunterxc,
Thanks for the note. As a matter of fact I did the same thing. In my case the USPS website still only says that the item was taken in at the origin, nothing about destination after more...
Tom H,
No worries we also have a MY 2004 and the same grocery bag holder as the your car. It also came as part of the Touring option. I've never really liked it. The yellow strap is virtually...
Christinalaw,
My suggestion don't wait too long because here in the SF bay area closeout of 2004 has started and I would say has almost ended. It won't become any better than now to buy a 2004...
Looks awesome Truckman! You made a smart deal man. Welcome to the site and happy driving!
Truckman,
Please tell us more. Where did you purchase? Even more important we'd like to see pictures!
Congratulations, you made a good deal and a smart decision!
Happy driving
Count me in!
Tom,
Could it be caused by the fact that the windows are laminated?
I assume you also have the Touring package?
I'll check my 2004XC after work today to see if I can see the same effect.
Hunterxc,
If I were you I would just go ahead and submit the form anyhow. In the terms and conditions it says:
Eligible only to residents of the United States. Vehicle delivery must take place...
