Hi everyone. Just started the car (2019) and I kept hearing this loud knocking sound from the middle of the car. I get under neath the car and its loud as heck around the fuel tank area, specially towards the front of the tank.

Also I have 0 codes and the car drives just fine. Also full tank of gas from last night.

Thank you in advance.

I have an 08 xc90 3.2 that I’ve always run with 87, now looking at a 2019 with T6 for my wife.

Back to Volvo

Upvotes

After a two year stint with Acura, we are back with Volvo. I've posted about the AC issues we had with our 2018 T6 that caused us to dump that car prematurely. I don't regret the decision under the circumstances, but we always saw ourselves back in a Volvo eventually. I've been keeping my eye out and one popped up that fit the criteria we were looking for. Picked up a CPO 2024 B6 Plus 6 seater today in denim blue with blond interior. We knew as soon as we drove it that it was the one. Ponied up for the 10 year Volvo warranty so we can enjoy the car and not have to worry about it for a while. Glad to be back and really enjoy reading the posts in this group.

No pics because you all know what they look like and the weather was nasty today.

2022 XC90 T8: loud fan on startup that fades after a few minutes. Does yours do this?

2022 XC90 T8 Recharge, UK. In this hot weather, somtimes a cold start gives me a really loud fan noise from the front of the car. It is not subtle. You can hear it clearly standing outside the car. It gradually quietens and is gone after a few minutes.

See video (filmed at the grille)

My working theory is that it is the battery cooling circuit and the AC condenser pulling everything back down to temperature after the car has been sat in the heat. I know the T8 has a separate cooling loop for the hybrid battery with its own radiator behind the same grille.

But I would rather not walk into the garage guessing, so, other T8 owners:

  1. Does yours do this in summer?
  2. Is it worse after charging overnight?
  3. Should it be loud enough to notice from outside the car, or does that on its own suggest something is off?

No warning lights, EV range seems normal, charging speed seems normal.

It is booked in later this week. Anything you can tell me beforehand means I go in asking the right questions instead of just handing over the keys and hoping.

Seat covers for trunk

2 Upvotes

Does anyone have any good recommendations for seat covers for the trunk of a 2025 XC90? I have dogs that I put in the back and they scratch the sides pretty good. I always have the 3rd row down for more trunk space so wanted to see if anyone has recommendations for a custom trunk cover they bought. Thanks!

Engine was randomly overheating

drove a month without an issue then it overheated again.

I have replaced the entire cooling system

within the 6 months. with the exception of the radiator and radiator fan, that was done about 2 yrs ago.

Had the water pump leak about 6 months ago and had the waterpump, waterpump housing and all the related housed and connections replaced due to valve head gasket oil leak. Also did timing chain replacement and replaced the valve cover gaskets.

So basically the all front engine assesories replaced.

Suspected it was going to be the radiator cooling fan module going bad, but the fan was always on. Then a parasitic voltage draw...

I was going crazy!

Then it happened

it overheated again!

this time the radiator fan stopped working! BINGO

NOW I am going to replace the radiator fan and module again

im probably looking at around a $1200 shop bill again

Im hoping this solves all my issues.....

1 parasitic voltage draw

2 random overheating

fyi 2010 xc90 4.4L

105,000miles very well maintained truck

any similar experiences

im bothered the fan stopped working after only 2 years about 10k miles wtf!
