For anyone who is trying to do the same: 1. Rear jack point is this protruding honeycomb like bit (you cant miss it if you look under) and in the front you will need to go a little further in to the metal frame. 2. Never found where this tool is supposed to be, you can get it off yourself with...

I've been changing my own winter tires for years but Volvo is is not as straight forward as my previous cars. Few questions before i get at it; 1. I cant seem to find the specific jack points on the under body of the car? from the Manual; There are two jack attachment points on each side of...

I've been looking to get a dash cam and haven't found any that fit nicely into the xc90 (i'm particular) It dawned on me there is already a set of cameras all over the car. Is there a system or anything i can install that would use the existing cameras? Thanks,

Hey SRG, any luck on your end?

dig some googling and ended up with this guy: https://www.amazon.com/UD-WIN-Vehicle-Communication-Diagnostic/dp/B01HI3EGJC seems oddly specific, any tips?

about a week ago i got an maintenance alert on the dash, my appointment isn't until next week because they are so backed up with winter tire season. Just today i got an engine light, could it be related to the maintenance alert? is there a way to tell what it is? Thanks,

So no luck, i've tried every combination possible and im starting to worry im unknowingly turning off other things? :cautious: I've tried it with both the left and right center button on the steering wheel, but just to confirm: 1. I press and hold the button shown here with the circle on it...

So im guessing there was an update preventing this from working. ( i had mine updated about 4 months back ) As far as i can tell the "READY" text is now gray on my car but the engine still shuts down @ red lights. just to be 100% sure im doing it right, this is what it would look like before...

I see, ill pay attention this time. Thanks

are you saying there is a "ready" icon somewhere here that represents the status of the stop/start system:

no, you're right at the time i just checked the icon in the center console and it stayed on after doing the procedure you said: looks like this: if you say the icon doesn't change but the result is stop/start just doesn't engage then i'm happy. I'll test it out later today.

Thanks SRG, i finally had time to give this a try... are you sure the steps for permanently disable the start stop you provided are for a second gen 2016+? It chimes and acts as you say it should but there is no change to the start stop being turned off?

Makes sense, thanks for the clarification.

Ironic, no? I know to enable to auto start feature i need to subscript to some kind of service, i cant bring myself to do it, i'm too cheap and where does it end? will the 2020 model only let you go above 100 if you pay a monthly fee? is anyone aware of a hack or a trace i can cut or something...

I'm not keeping up with this thread... my rear breaks are getting near their end as well (37k) is this covered under warranty? or do i need to experience shaking for it to be covered?

i did some more digging and it all makes sense now... 2016 has physical TPMS sensors but for the 2017 model they switched to ABS TMPS sensors. i bought one year too soon! Thanks for the help Robbo

Mind me asking what model and year you have? i have a 2016 xc90 and i'm being told by the dealer i need internal sensors?

i've heard some sensor-less systems being used by Audi and BMW (i think) but from what i can tell Volvo still uses physical sensors that have to be installed in the tire. no?

may have found the answer to my own question; yes, you can indeed put 285's onto a rim intended for 275's this is a great site that will explain the slight differences you will see: https://tiresize.com/comparison/ between 285 & 275 there is almost no different.

Hey guys, i picked up a set of winter rims+tires for my xc90 (2016) and wanted to get clarification on the TPMS sensor pairing process. The dealer is telling me the sensors have to be reprogrammed into the computer each time you swap? is that true? my other (older) car has the same issue and...
