I have a pretty loaded 2005 XC90 V8 with 64K miles. I bought it CPO with 5K miles in 2006, so we're only averaging about 6000-7000 miles per year. Now I'm trying to decide to do one of the following:...
I have a pretty loaded 2005 XC90 V8 with 65K miles. I bought it CPO with 5K miles in 2006. I should have extended the warranty before it expired, but I wasn't paying attention. I'm trying to decide...
Here's the latest.
The car has been sitting since last night in about 35 degree temps. Overnight, the battery held just enough charge to display the clock and idiot lights, but would not turn...

My '98 XC with 187K miles has a problem. I bought this car as a station car in July of 2007. Never had any battery issues until September 2009, when it died. I bought a new battery.

First, when gradually...
Just a follow up to this. I said evaporator when I should have said condenser.
As it turns out, my AC started to get warm just after my last post from last summer. As it was close to the end of...
I have a 1998 XC70. I noticed that there is a plastic cover under the car, on the right and left side, midway between the front and rear doors. It looks like it's protecting something. Anyway, I...
This was the case with my 1998 XC70. My mechanic charged the AC with dye and it was cold for a week or two before it started to get warmer. By about month it was completely gone.
When I brought...
Bought my '98 XC70 in 2007 with about 170,000 miles on it. As of now, it's only up to 174,500. This is a second car, just to get me to the train station during the week, and the occasional weekend...
My '98 XC with 173K miles has a similar problem. I bought this car as a station car in July of 2007. Never had any battery issues until September 2009, when it died. I went to Sears and bought a new...
