I checked the 2017 brochure and for the Momentum, there is a 6 double spoke 22-inch wheel upgrade. For the R Design, there is a 5 double spoke 22-inch upgrade. For the Inscription, there is a 6 double spoke 22-inch upgrade. In the 2018 brochure, there is only listed a 5 double spoke 22-inch...

You forgot to add another $130 for the shell for the smart key. Then there is the blank key that must be cut. The dealer told me $150 for programming

Smart Keys I don't believe that is a concern. When I had a Toyota Prius with the smart key as well as a Highlander with a smart key, you could take a used key and actually program the key yourself. It did not program by putting in the Vin Number. You did need the actual car to program the...

I purchased a used key and asked the dealer to program it. He said that in order to program the key he needs the original number that was associated with the key. Kind of like a product key that comes with windows. Without it you cannot program the key. I was able to return the key for credit...

I was having trouble with Pandora so I went ahead and uninstalled it. When I went back to install it was not there. Volvo dealer said I would need to have it reloaded. So I made an appointment and they reinstalled. I will need to wait for a couple of days to download from the cloud. They also...

Draw-Tite Hitch I went with the draw-tite hitch as it appeared to be higher off the ground and did not show up like the Curt. Also did not require drilling. In addition I did not have to remove the entire bumper but only the lower facia. It took a bit of work to get it back together so that...

I found a smart key on eBay that I purchased. I will still need to have it programed by the dealer. There are very few locksmiths that can program a key for this vehicle. Manny

I just changed the oil myself even though the car only has 2000 miles on it. I went with the recommended Castrol 0-30 wt. Synthetic. Generally it is good for a 10,000 mile run. While the car does not have many miles on it the oil was probably a year old. I also wanted to see how things are...

I have a 2017 (April 2017 manufacture date) and I have not had a problem with the modem. In fact I have found that the modem connection and subsequent Pandora is better than just using my iPhone 8+ So I use the car for playing music rather than my phone through Bluetooth or direct connect...

Hitch I went ahead and did some research and decided on the Draw-Tite hitch rather than the Curt Hitch. I too am interested primarily in carrying my bike rack. However, since the XC90 is robust, having a 5000 lb. towing capacity. I also added the electrical wiring (4 plug). I choose the...

Reliability As mentioned I am the first owner of my 2017 Volvo XC90 Inscription T8. The car was manufactured in April of 2017, so I thought it would be good to change the oil and filter. I understand that service is free. My car has only 2400 miles but the oil has been in the car for over a...

Just got the 2017 XC90 T8 Inscription. The sun visors are in leather which is really nice. Problem is that they do not have extensions and are not very good in protecting against glare from side windows. I know that I could have the front windows tinted. But that is a ticket waiting to...

I hear you and agree. I plan on taking it in for sure, to take advantage of the free service and software updates, etcetera. I just like to know more about the vehicles I have. I have owned more than 75 cars over the years. I have rebuilt a number of engines and have lots of tools. Now that...

K&N Air Filter I have used K&N filters and other manufacturers over the years. I have learned the hard way that generally speaking the OEM filter is superior to the aftermarket filters. I had a 2001 NSX that I supercharged. The internals were stock but I was pushing around 400 hp at the...

Service Manua Yes, let us know if you find a source. There is not much discussion on do it yourself in the manual. I like changing the oil, changing the plugs, etcetera. It would be nice to have access to the service manual. There must be a way to access. I found instructions for...

Air Suspension problem solved I was able after reading a lot and checking out various posts that I needed to set the suspension to Individual and then go into the menu and select what I wanted. All of a sudden the car performs as I hoped. The ride is much tighter and there is very little...

Volvo XC90 or Subaru? Subaru makes great cars but I don't think they are in the same category as Volvo. Subaru is rock solid and reasonably priced. It is not a luxury vehicle company. I just purchased a 2017 XC90 T8 with all the bells and whistles (less the heads up display). It has taken...

This is my first Volvo. I just purchased a 2017 XC90 T8 with 1800 miles. It was a dealer demo. Anyway, where I live the road surface is not really very smooth. Potholes have been filled and there are a lot of bumps and ruts. As I drive on this surface I find the T8 to move a lot. When on...

22 inch tires. Price After Mail-In Rebate: $1,199.44 This is the current price from Tire Rack for your oem tire. By the way if there is still some tread on the tire with a bulge on the side, you may be able to get a replacement tire as that sounds like a manufacturing defect. That would...
