xc series Temperature reading on my dash seems to be off. XC90 ‘21

2021 XC90 T6 momentum. This morning I noticed my car said 65 degrees, and I live in the southeast US. That would have been lovely. It was about 10 degrees warmer than that.

Same issue in the afternoon. It’s off about 10 or so degrees. Is there a way to fix this? This is the first I’ve noticed.

I hate to even ask… is this an easy fix? I know this is a small thing to worry about.

New to us 2020 XC90 MPG - What to ask for in warranty service?

0 Upvotes

We recently purchased a used 2020 XC90 T5 Momentum. It has 55k miles and is in overall good condition. We purchased from a Volvo dealer.

We had an older Honda Odyssey and after seeing the newer IIHS reports on it, we looked for a new family car to upgrade the safety because we use the 3rd row very frequently. Happy so far! (Side note - it's actually shocking how many 3 row vans and SUVs do not have any upgraded safety in the third row like pretensioners and load limiters. I feel like I have read way too much about this now).

BUT it's saying we are getting 16.5 mpg!!! We have 3 months of warranty with the dealer (and then will be purchasing an extended warranty). While we have the dealer warranty, is there anything specific I should ask for them to check and look for? I'm afraid they will just say "oh well" since the inspection checked out. We do drive a lot of city, but as the average, it should be way higher than that.

S40/V40 Volvo V40 phone pad

0 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’ve been thinking of buying a used V40 model, and it seems to have this odd looking phone dialing panel, which kills the premium look of it in my opinion. Has anyone been successful getting rid of it and replacing with something else?

This is to be honest the only thing that makes me not wanna buy it lol

Thanks for the tips.

Parking Assist System Issue

Post image
3 Upvotes

So as per the image I've got the classic park assist cleaning needed fault, all the sensors are clean obviously. A front one looks to have a bit of a stone chip however with various parking positions and having a tight driveway, in the 5-10 seconds before the warning comes on at startup, I have seen every single sensor functioning on the 360 view before the message comes up? I'm booked in for a sensor replacement but...which one is it or is there something else?

900 series Volvo 850 mirrors on 940 ?

Thumbnail
gallery
12 Upvotes

Have you ever noticed that the Volvo 850 side mirrors are smaller and more sleekly designed than the bulky 940 mirror?

My friend and I decided to make the 850 mirror fit on my 960.

We need to keep the triangular mirror bracket from the 940 and modify it to be more flush to mount the 850 mirror so it looks original. No modification on the doors only on the brackets.

After cutting and welding, the triangular mount is flat, and now you can screw the 850 mirror on the 940 mounts. The pair in the image needs to be sanded and painted, but I wanted to share the process.

I forgot to take a pic of the fully welded bracket but just imagine a flat surface with some drilled holes for the screws to mount the 850 mirror.

I saw these Euro-style mirrors with blinkers on an old black Volvo V70 and liked to have similar on my 960.

V70 Camping setup

What do you all think of our camping setup?

This is our 2007 volvo v70 p2 the D5 ran 240 000km (150 000 miles) so far. We use it right now to camp in France and Spain. This is my first car, our old family wagon that I got from my dad. I couldn't be happier with it, no big issues so far and really spacious. The car really shines on those long distance drives, where you need reliability and comfort.

Tire replacement triggers loss of traction XC60

4 Upvotes

Some interesting experience with a new 2026, XC60 B5.
Had a rear driver side flat at about 8K miles. Replaced with the spare, drove a couple days, no problem.
Went to get a new tire, same brand, size, etc. as originals. After tire install, car doesn't run anymore! Some "traction" related error, engine running, no movement!
Car on 5.0.5 soft.
Tire shop measured the other tires, apparently 3mm usage on the old ones, and claimed that the "system" doesn't adjust to the difference, being an all wheel drive car.
Put spare back, drove to dealership. Dealership checks errors, etc. "we've never seen anything like this before!". Car still in shop for software fix!

s80 Air intake duct tube coming out

2 Upvotes

Hi,

We have S80 ( 2008) and we noticed that air intake tube came of and it's somehow too short. If we put one side in, the other is little bit in and it comes out again. Is there any solution except buying a new part?

s60/v60 2017 S60 Help Needed

Thumbnail

9 Upvotes

Hello Volvo community, I am at a loss currently with my 2017 S60 T6. I have been tracing a battery drain problem for months, I just put a brand new AGM battery in after the old one died due to excessive drain. At first I thought it was the SiriusXM module, so I took it to the Volvo Store, only to be told the CEM needed an upgrade. The next day, they told me the Driver Power Seat Control Module was causing excessive drain, they said they'd need to replace it, I was not particularly wanting to add $1k to my already high bill, I declined it. I see the module is only $160 new, my usual mechanic says he cannot program it himself. They've disconnected the seat in the meantime to drain. Is the dealer my only option?
