I have a 2004 version of the Volvo Euro DVD I no longer need, want to buy it, cheap?
Before we moved to SoCal, we were getting 16 in the city and 23 on the highway (when I kept it under 90). In SoCal, though, it's not been so good. Current tank is showing an average speed of 13 mph...
When I lived in Germany, I routinely explored the 100-120+ realm in our XC90 V8. It's very stable and seemed to enjoy the high speeds. As much as I hate the speed limiter, Volvo at least implements...
It's actually a software load/switch to enable a different region for voice prompting. We bought our US-spec XC90 while we were stationed in Germany. While at the factory, I gave them a Euro DVD to...
We've had our V8 for just over a year now and the only problem we have is the noise from the seatbelt retraction mechanism in the B-pillar and rust on the lugnuts/exhaust tips. We did have to have...
We take our XC-90 in on 15 June for the recall work. Should be interesting...
Not to pop your bubble, I love having the extra performance (which is why we got the V8),I've heard of several folks having tranny problems with unmodded T6s. The thinking on the tranny problem was...
A bit of a late post here...from what we saw, if you order the accessories when you place your vehicle order, you will get the best price. When we ordered our 90, we got the rubber floormats and the...
The guys over on Swedespeed posted that Volvo had put out a Tech Bulletin (not really a recall), number 64-21, which addresses the thumping noise coming from the front end of XC90s during slow speed...
I have one CD (ELO's Greatest Hits) that will provide the song titles. I haven't used a lot of home-made CDs in the system, but the ones I have used did not display any song info, either...however,...
Yep, you just got to love the Autobahn! I've actually hit the software speed limit in my XC90. I thought the V8's limit was supposed to be 130 mph, but I hit it at 120. Very graceful limit...
With my XC90 V8, the best hwy mileage I've experiencded was 23 mpg (US). I had to keep the speed down to 70-75 mph. When I travel at 90+ mph, the mileage, as expected, drops to around 15 mpg. City...
From Swedespeed.com, the affected XC90s are US (and some Canadian) V8s in Model Year 05 or MY06 within the VIN range (last 6) 131042 - 235892. I believe it's campaign 148.
Here's a radical thought...why not have Volvo own Volvo??
Ooh, Ooh, Pick Me, Pick Me!
Seriously, just saw this as well, I'd like to get in. :)
Good point, forgot to discuss how good the instructors were. They were also very safety-focused, even though they wanted us to push the cars, they wanted us to also keep in mind how to do it safely....
The course was a lot of fun, it also helped having it at a professional test track with access to all of their facilities. I would have really liked to try out the XC90 on their hill climb (complete...
Ok, here are some pics from today's advanced driver's training class at the Bosch Proving Grounds in Boxberg, Germany. I posted this over at Swedespeed.com as well. Awesome experience!!!! :D

Our Volvo Military Sales rep has enrolled my wife and I in Volvo's Intensive Driver's Training course, which I think is their European version of Drive For Life. The course is at the Bosch Proving...
Meant the brushed aluminum rails, I've never seen that version of the black rails.
I don't, haven't ever seen them.
Cool, that's the same monitor I have, but I have it oriented in landscape.
Yep, doesn't get much better than that, a pretty lady in a pretty car! :D
Hmm, I think I will need to see one in person, or better pictures, right now, it looks like out of balance to me, hood is too short for the body length. I do hope they come out with a C70R or C80R,...
Hi folks, posted this over at Swedespeed as well, but wanted to share our FDC experience from last week.
The FDC folks were very helpful and took care of all of our concerns, to include having...
