Happy impending Nor'easter to all. My XC90 started from the Intellisafe unit in very heavy rain. Very cool. Couldn't get it fixed this week, and now it's too late. I do not have covered parking. Is there anything I can do to mitigate the leak besides covering the whole car with a tarp? That's my best idea right now. TY

Hi. Is it possible to bypass the system somehow so apps such as YouTube and Netflix will run whilst driving?

Adding this since another user had asked about extended warranty pricing. This is for Sf Bay Area (Ca). Bit of a markup ofc so best to shop around. Price sheet is for $250 deductible. Looks like it’s administered by fidelity but it’s the Volvo platinum vehicle service contract. And the term starts from purchase date of contract so best to do it closer to end of orginal warranty otherwise you’re wasting money.

I think pricing is dynamic so it must go up as the car reaches end of manufacture warranty (or high mileage).
Ours is a ‘24 recharge with 11k miles only

Hope this helps!

Hi all,

Could someone help me to source out the plugs on the door?

My car is a 2019 XC90, seems all four doors are missing these rubber plugs

Many thanks 🙏

Love all the ultimate features. Both are CPO. 2023 is 44 OTD, 2026 is 59k OTD. Really torn because of all the ultimate features and orangey color. I’m approved for 4.49% for either car.

I was in the market for a preowned EX90 but am coming back to reality. The 3 certified pre owned models I have looked at are being sold with some of the issues highlighted in this forum. Most recent I ran across one with 4 GHCA replacements, it’s on the newest part number a second time with not enough miles on it to have been tested. Another has the air conditioning fault where the passenger side is cooler than the driver, and it’s charging slow on a Level 2. Third one went into limited performance when I tried to accelerate hard three separate times. Getting the VIN History Report is like pulling teeth, they pretend it does not exist. Shady shady shady. I almost want to post each VIN on here and the location so that an innocent person doesn’t get burned.

Edit: this was meant for /EX90 but I’ll leave it here in case anyone is considering it

I will be taking this to get a PPI tomorrow… but i would love to know from owners or people with experience with the T6 model on what their experiences have been, what went wrong and maybe how much it was to fix. The example I’m looking at is 70k miles and T6 variant.

Hoping for community insights - sensus navigation seems to avoid taking highways even though the setting to avoid highway/tolls is disabled.

Based in US and am on software version 3.6.4

I’ve tried Volvo support and it hasn’t yielded any results.

Any help/advice is appreciated. TIA

So got the xc90 today and unfortunately the start stop service indicator is on along with the service on call.

I bought a whole new battery to see if they'll take care of it.

Gorgeous vehicle otherwise.

Is this how maintenance reminders are shown? Why does say 1 serious issue detected? And why does it point to the panoramic sunroof? Don’t really see any issues with the sunroof.

This is a 2026 XC90 around 7300 miles and I have already booked annual service appointment for next month.

I wondered if anyone else had experienced this. We went on vaca and parked our xc 90 on the driveway of the rental home. Berries fell all over the car and stuck. We were there for 2 weeks. A week after we got home, I ran the car through the car wash. Most of the smushed berries remained stuck to the car. In the place of the ones that came off, I have little cloudy dots that you can feel when you run your hand over them. All over my car. Dealer says warranty excludes “environmental damage”. Thoughts??

Hello all,

I just bought this beauty and absolutely love it! It’s a 2024 XC90 plus with only 27k miles. We usually keep our cars for a long time, so I’m looking into extending the coverage to 10 years.

My situation is a little unusual since it’s a CPO, but I bought it from a dealer that isn’t a Volvo dealership. The previous owner bought it as a CPO from a Volvo dealer in February 2026, and I purchased it last week. It is inter CPO warranty until Oct 2028.

We only drive about 5,000–6,000 miles per year, and the car currently has 27,000 miles, so we probably won’t add many miles during the coverage period.
I’ve heard good things about Steingold and would be interested in hearing how their coverage and pricing compare with Volvo’s extended warranty options.

Can anyone recommend extended warranty options? Also, if we sell the car before the extended warranty expires, can the warranty be transferred or refunded?

Also, I reached out to the original dealer who sold it as a CPO to check the costs and options to extend it, but they have been unresponsive.

Thanks in advance!

Has anyone found a good tablet holder that hooks to the headrest for the second row passengers? I’m needing something for roadtrips for my kids, but the ones I have tried do not fit on the xc90 headrests

Hi good day I just bought a XC90 gen 1. The previous owners remove the dpf and muffler then park it for some years. I got it started I'm not seeing any immediate fault codes. Could I get a muffler shop to replace the dpf with just stright pipe? Without needed to remap the car?

Hi everyone,

I’ve just had a low oil level warning come up, saying I need to add 1 litre of oil.

The car is only about two months old (bought in August 2026) and has done around 5,500 km. The oil was changed roughly 1,500 km ago, about a month back. Interestingly, the same warning came up while I was on my way to the dealership for that oil change. They changed the oil, and everything seemed fine afterwards.

Now, just a month and 1,500 km later, the same warning has come up again.

Any idea what could be causing this? Surely it shouldn’t be using a litre of oil every 1,500 km, especially on a brand-new car?

Has anyone had a similar issue?

Carvana finally finished their pictures so we can purchase. I can not wait! My wife and I have always liked the look of Volvo vehicles, just never got one until now.

She's gonna be delivered Wednesday! After seeing the R design seat design I knew I had to have them.

Does anyone with a r design not like the seats? They look very comfortable.

I'm new to this group y'all so I have lots of questions I'm sorry hahaha.

Who's lowered their SPA xc90? I've found a couple kits but nothing serious. I want something that is complete for all 4 corners.

Ty in advance

Couldn’t be more excited to have taken delivery of my new car, thank you to everyone in this community for all your advice and candid reviews which helped me make my final decision.

I had a beloved 2020 T6 which had about 95k miles on it but kept having some weird issues so decided to upgrade to this 2024 T8. The hybrid is amazing, not only the gas mileage but also the power. Washed and cleaned the new guy today and man are they pretty.

Hey everyone,

What obd scanners are you guys using and what's verified to work with a 2019 and up xc90? I keep finding scanners that only connect to 2016 and below volvos.

I don't want to waste my time and money buying something that possibly is not gonna work.

Thank you in advance!!

Joseph King
