General advantages
Southwerry XC90 is baptized by the price that, despite its respectable age (as-in no way for eight years already), he is not even going to resign. New, it still uses good demand, and we, in Russia, sold more successfully for any of his relatives. Note, the modification of 2006 almost did not touch the appearance of the car. Is this not a sign of the fact that Gothengian stylists got to the point from the very beginning? At the same time, the appearance did not lose the relevance - not the only trump card of "Swedes".
At one time, it was he who was the first of the sazvodnikov received five stars in EURONCAP crash tests. It is still in its assets a spacious and comfortable salon with the corresponding prestigious auto-car with a noble finish and equipping. There is no frankly weak among the engines, but the ruler allows you to choose an economical diesel, and a very violent V8. It pleases that even at the maximum speeds Volvo confidently holds for asphalt.
All-wheel drive transmission is needed XC90 primarily for safe driving on slippery roads, and not for jeep, but it is not very helpless outside the asphalt it is impossible. Thanks to the stabilization system, imitating the work of interstole differentials, the machine can get out of the diagonal trap.
As you can see, a good XC90 has a lot, it remains to find out the main thing - as far as it is reliable.
Body and its electrical equipment
Rushing body is not about XC90. Thanks to the galvanized and high-quality painting, the Swedish crossover and after 4-5 Moscow winters looks fresh and neat. Is that over the years in his eyes, gloss can be dipped due to the cloud of headlights. Such a misfortune happens on copies of five years and older, besides those who arrived from the United States, more often from California with its wet, saturated with salts of the climate.
By the way about California: no longer one decade is the most populated American staff presents special requirements for vehicles sold on its territory. They are constructively different from the rest and even have their markings. For example, on the Volvo identification plate in the upper field of the right column, where the region code is specified, the number 31 is knocked down, while all other "Americans" - 30. Machines designed for Eastern European countries, including including Russia, marked with a number 23.
Returning to the above-mentioned Farm, it is worth mentioning that not always at the official service stations are taken to eliminate this shortage. But you can pass the plastic of the diffusers on the side. Depending on the degree of turbidity, repair in specialized workshops is from one and a half to six thousand rubles for two headlights.
Pretty rarely, but problems and "xenon" occur. Because of the breakdown, the reflector position sensor in an emergency safe mode bends down, and the lamp begins to shine "under the legs" machine. The problem is solved only by buying a new headlight.
Some shoals and in the electrical equipment of the cabin. Customers mostly complained about the jumping hours of the clock and the disappearing lines on the dashboard information display. Someone on the radio tape recorder hussing the board, some keys blind or disappeared. But all this is characteristic of cars released until 2005 with another priority (not upgraded) electrical equipment. In addition, the "tidy" and an infotainment module (ICM) in most cases can be repaired, thereby saving to half the value of the new part. Finally, the reason for the tanned fault indicator of the DSTC dynamic stabilization system lies, most likely, in the failure of the longitudinal and transverse acceleration sensor (BCS). It is located under the front passenger seat, in the space between the trim and the floor, and from the falling moisture and salt over time it can be contrary to the time.
Transmission
Depending on the engine and year of production, XC90 are equipped with three different "automata" and one manual box. With a 6-speed MCP M-66, which works in a pair with 5-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines, no problems. It is quite reliable and relatively fresh ACP TF80SC, assisting V8, in line 3,2-liter "six" and post-postal D5. However, the remaining two automatic boxes - the 4T65 jeemic "Jeemsky" 4T65 and its brother from AISIN-WarNer AW55, serving diesel and gasoline row "fives" - were not so rarely faced with the warranty period.
The main symptoms of their diseases - jerks while driving, failures to switch transmissions in manual mode, strong blows when translating the selector of the box from "Parking" in Drive or Reverse. As mechanics say, in terms of the number of possible failures 4T65 and AW55 each other are standing.
However, in terms of repair plan, a 4-speed box is preferable. Depending on the depth of the problems, this unit can be restored for a sum of 50 to 100 thousand rubles, which even at the most expensive version 2.5 times cheaper than a new box. But the AW55 is almost never treated. Yes, the car after repair will go, but the shocks and jerks when changing the gear will remain. Therefore, it is wiser to find a good box with a bat machine or contract, say, from Europe.
As for the replacement of transmission fluid, in Volvo, this operation is not regulated and is recommended only if necessary, for example, due to severe aging of oil associated with rigid operating conditions.
There are in the xs90 transmission and other dangerous places.
Not at all unnecessary, especially on the elderly machines, there will be a check of the state of lubrication of the screw shaft in the place of compounding it with an angular gearbox. Because of the proximity to the hot catalytic neutralizer, the oil in the hinge simply flashes. Let not immobilize, but to turn the car from full - in front-wheel drive can and the worn sleeve of the angular gearbox. The slice of its slots is most characteristic of copies, many travelers. The trouble is to diagnose simply: if the cardan remains fixed with the motor and the transmission enabled, it became possible to flew the bushing. If the shaft rotates, and the rear wheels are still no, the electronic rear differential control module (DEM) or the Haldex coupling oil pump died.
Note: The Dem module is often steal. The decent road clearance of the machine allows attackers to climb under the bottom and twist the dear block.
Engines
The youngest in the XC90 Engine Family - a 3.2-liter-liter, 6-cylinder B6324S - did not bypassed childhood diseases. For example, the undermined oil separator of the crankcase gas recirculation system caused an increased oily consumption and its leaks through seals. This constructive disadvantage of the Swedes immediately eliminated soon, and on all the "affected" engines of warranty mechanics installed a new valve cover with a modified oil separator.
The second, also, by the way, the eliminated jamb was even not connected with the motor itself, but with the flowing across the gas-conductive tube of the cooling system.
In general, the syllable aggregates of the crossover are reliable and when runs up to 200 thousand require perhaps prophylactic measures to maintain their health.
For turbines it is useful to make a motor without load a couple of minutes before stopping. On gasoline engines, regardless of the regulations, the spark plugs are better changed every 30 thousand km. Washing nozzles and throttle assembly on the same time contributes to sustainable work at idle.
The timing belt is desirable to change not after 120 thousand km, and once in 90, as indicated in the manual item "Heavy operating conditions". Every three years it is useful to rinse the cells of the radiator from the nanile dirt and fluff. The operation is quite expensive: remove a block of three heat exchangers, disassemble, rinse costs about 16,500 rubles, but for highly thermal engines is an urgent need.
All the engines are picky the quality of the fuel, so it is better to stick to the checked gas stations.
On machines with large runs, in case of leaks of the crankshaft, most likely have to change the oil collector of the crankcase gas recycling system and the foaming faucet checked couplings. Consider: Motors with a thoroughly ridden oil system on American Volvo are much more common than "European" and even on Russian.
Another moment: due to the high temperature in the subcontrol space (mainly it concerns the engine T6) cracks the plastic tubes of the air supply system. To the V8 it is worth listening to carefully, highlighting noises from the drive of the auxiliary units. Chest rollers can jam.
The advantages of Volvo XC90, even used, undoubtedly. It remains to weigh everything.

Ownership reviews
What is in favor of the new: a) the presence of a number of electronic systems or the possibility of installing them b) a good engine at a ratio / fuel consumption c) Pneumatic suspension - an amateur thing, I personally do not believe in the experience of communication with other brands d) Ergonomics of the driver's seat In my opinion, better than the previous model.
It went on one disappointment ... a) the first thing that rushed into the eyes is no geometric passability b) the interior in length was less than my subjective impressions c) the trunk is also significantly less, and the width is especially injured d) in the car it was just a huge amount of oak plastic.

Video Feedback
1. On slate is noisy, but there is no shaking! On the track, the average speed of 100-120 km / h road holds fantastically, you practically do not feel speeds.
2. On a good asphalt, but a winding road - a mixture of wild mustang, which you need to hold and hold the liner to take off! In turns enters how to blame! On straight overclocking without effort and practically instant! The box is not felt (well, maybe a little on the first jerk after turning).
3. Autoban is a fairy tale! The "dynamic" mode, which surprised, so this at a speed of 170 km / h turns of only 2,500! At a speed of 225 km / h - 3 100!
Optics! Damn ... it's a song! What makes the car do not pass - "Robocop" some kind! Well, okay when he just goes from a long-distance to the near, but when he became me all the road signs to catch up and on the moment it was separately covered, then I thought it would simply come out of the car and drilling it - this is such a class! Yes, and from the distant to the closest, too, not entirely to the near - it is long and remains, only somehow sharply down and right ... so to speak, modestly eyes share .. and instantly in the distance! Visibility as day! Wide and long lighting and still ray shook like a powerful flashlight followed by steering wheel!
What is dissatisfied with: trouble with a connection to the phone, like a modem to use the Internet. Connect something connected, but the Internet traffic does not pass. Once passed, and the second time there is no. The dealer will "reflash" or something from the Software supplier converted to take and establish me.
Victor, review of the new Volvo Hs90 2.0 Diesel (225 hp) at 2015 G.V.
Exterior. In my opinion in the design of the front part, and the back also survived all the manufacturers of crossovers. Looks and aggressively, and at the same time calmly and pacifyingly. LED headlamps look perfectly on such a car. The car is proportional and harmonious in contrast to many classmates, it does not look bulky, despite almost 5 meters of length and 2 widths.
The organization of space, ergonomics and even a certain revolutionary of the internal decoration of the car. Total 8 buttons on the front panel! The rest is at a 9.3-inch tablet on the front panel. You can figure it out in it for 2 hours, who at least used a little iPad or another tablet grabbing everything on the fly.
I have the first car with a pneumatic suspension. Before that went only on the spring. On the Internet there are many claims of the owners to pneumatics Volvo XS90. Partially they are fair, while the car has almost no rolls and swinging, the car very clearly holds the road. No nods when braking, there is no valve at all when driving. The car accurately holds a trajectory in turns.
At Volvo smooth and powerful pickup from the bottom, and you are always confident that overtaking will be safe. Power reserve is always enough. Acceleration (especially in dynamic mode) simply shakes.
Feedback on Volvo XC90 2.0 (320 hp) at 2015 GV
The overall impression is good. Everything is beautiful and everything is functional. Comfort is excellent. Handling is excellent. Externally, everything is fine. A bunch of electronic auxiliary systems that help the driver.
Not quite reason for the expectations declared by Volvo reliability. The six months of the car's operation has passed (bypassing 16,000 km), when one day the car began to refuse to ride (drop the engine speed, either low transmission, turn off the front camera and dashboard failure).
On the service it seems to be corrected, but the sediment from this remained. I did not expect this from such "reliability."
Maxim Novikov, review Volvo XC90 2.0D (225 hp) automatic transmission 2016
Ergonomics and everything else - super! It is impossible to compare with the old one - everything was completed to mind at the best (I went to the "old" 7 years).
A lot of advantages, namely, in comparison with the system, the model is the salon and the driver's ergonomics (everything moves smoothly and confidently, especially the switches of all turns, there is a pleasant feeling of goodness).
Double-plug-in engine. Razor! Again, compared to the old one, that only from the bottom could rush, from the start, and 120 km / h dynamics less sharp, and this is a bullet! The steering wheel is spinning differently - gently and smoothly, but with a fraction of tangible elasticity and this elasticity causes respect.
Once the typewriter once, and the display of the appliances does not burn, and it wants to ride the car only at a small such speed. Well, I drove to the garage, I call the Officials in Krasnoyarsk, where they took, the manager Yuri (the sensible man) advised to remove the minus terminal from the main battery (by the way, in the new two of them) - well, type to restart the car (its computer). So did, there is nothing terrible in it - the computer is like a computer! Since then there are no problems.
Alexey Kovalenko, review of Volvo X C 90 2.0D (225 hp) with automatic machine 2016
Absolutely new, complete equipment. For such a short period of operation, there were serious disadvantages that are incompatible with the value of this car. The first thing that would like to start - suspension. Despite various modes that are convenient to use, for 8,000 km mileage, the suspension is knocking on a hang.
Secondly, there are failures in electronics. For example, the "lack of an access key" despite the fact that it is located to the right of the driver's seat; "The error of the windowsman", although when it is used, everything works fine; "Parking brake error", and the machine itself includes a parking brake without my team.
The most unpleasant mistake was an arbitrary opening of all windows of the car (with the exception of the roof). In one of three such cases on the street it was raining. As a result, the car's salon was covered with water.
Thirdly, with automatic closure of the trunk cover, the roar is standing, like when the covers of the garbage can be covered.Review of Volvo XC90 2.0D (225 hp) at 2016

Volvo.) - A unique car, his story began in 2002 and continues to today. The car has a large number of fans who have already changed several generations of HC90, as they do not see alternatives to this car. So what is the secret of such popularity: in design, comfort or maybe in reliability? In this and many other things now and try to figure out.
A bit of history:
All-wheel drive Swedish car "Volvo Hs90" was first introduced at the International Auto Show in Detroit, in 2002. Serial production of the car was launched in 2003. The SUV is based on a platform on which the Wavro S80 sedan is built. The line of engine engines of the first years of release consisted of a five-cylinder gasoline engine with a 2.5 liter turbines (210 hp), as well as a six-cylinder turbaround 2.9 liters (270 hp). Diesel was represented by a power unit 2.4 (163 hp). The first restyling model was carried out in 2006. In the same year, the manufacturer increased the power of the turbo diesel engine to 185 hp And stopped setting the gasoline engine 2.9. To change, he came atmospheric with a volume of 3.2 liters (234 hp), a flagship v8 4.4 liters (315 hp) also appeared. In 2012, submitted an updated version of the XX90, following the next restyling, dedicated to the anniversary of the model. The production of the next generation of the model started at the end of 2014.
Weak places Volvo xs90 with mileage
The paint coating of the body does not cause any complaints, also there are no problems with corrosion resistance. But on machines, poorly restored after damage to an accident, you can meet corrosion foci. On vehicles that spend the back view mirrors often remove the rearview mirrors (the cost of the new 150 cu) and the headlights (original 900 cu, pcs. For b \\ y ask 100-200 cu).
Power units
On all Volvo XC90 motors, a variety of timing timber, for example, a 2.5 and 2.9 turboset (replacement interval every 100,000 km, or once every 5 years), atmospheric 3.2 - chain (chain resource is not limited). On the very first cars, the main problems are associated with electronic control units, for example, often fails the fan control unit, as a result, the engine overheats. The block changes only in the assembly with the fan and costs 200 -350 cu, but on the disassembly can be found and separately for 50 cu. Ignition coils, cars with the most popular 2.5-liter engines, do not like high temperatures and during operation of the machine in a hot climate combat rather quickly. Also, in the heat very quickly fails the thermostat.
The weak point of turbogo travels on many cars is the turbine, but not only in the case of this model, since the turbocharger is practically not worried about the owners; The need for repair arises mainly on cars to restyling. Old turbo engines, on mileage more than 160000 km, begin to sweep the oil, from 300 grams per 1000 km. To eliminate the disadvantage, it is necessary to replace the oilmaging caps (this repair will cost from 100 to 400 USD, depending on the selected service). According to the owners, the most trouble-free motor is considered 3.2, but still there is a couple of minor flaws. The first is the oil leak due to the underdeveloped oil separator of the crankcase ventilation system, the second is weak the connections between the cooling system tubes, in the event of a break, the generator fills with antifreeze. Diesel motors also have proven themselves as trouble-free aggregates, and most likely, precisely because of this, many owners recommend buying a used Volvo XC90 with a diesel engine. Nozzles in them go for a long time - 150-200 thousand km, the replacement of one will cost 100-200 USD.
At Volvo HS90, released until 2005, a common problem with the refusal of fuel pump, or rather its control unit. When choosing a car over five years old, you need to pay attention to the state of the radiator, since by this time it is wearing and requires replacement (the cost of the radiator is 100-150 cu).
Transmission
Volvo XX90 can be both mechanical and automatic transmission. In a pair with a motor 2.5, a five-speed automatic transmission of production "AISIN » which after 2005 was replaced by the six-speed the same company. Also, the six-speed automatic transmission was established in a pair with an atmospheric 3.2 liter. The Japanese production transmission is well coped with its tasks, if it is regularly changing the oil (every 60,000 km), but it is better to get along with the engine 2.5. In a pair of power unit 2.9, the automatic transmission of the company "" is established. A mechanical transmission can be equipped with any of the engines, but machines with mechanics on the secondary market are practically not found.
The automatic transmission is very afraid of slipping and overheating, especially this refers to instances of the first years of release, since after resting the manufacturer began to install an additional radiator for cooling the oil in the box. Often, the owners are numbered to flow oils from under the oil seals, the reason is the wear of the differential bearing seat. Most often, the owners of cars released from 2003 to 2005 face breakdowns, the reason is the harbing wear, overheating. Fortunately, these boxes are maintained, but the repair costs the non-sash 1000-1500 USD.
The four-wheel drive is connected using the Haldex coupling. During the operation of the car, you need to remember that the coupling, like an automatic transmission, does not like slipping. There is a pump in the mechanical part of the coupling, and if there is no oil in the coupling crankcutter and the gearbox (every 50,000 km), it does not get 80,000 km, and its replacement cost will be 250-350 cu. Controls the coupling connection electronic differential unit, unfortunately, its resource is not much more than the resource of the pump. The main reason for the failure is that it is located right under the bottom. Also, due to the unsuccessful location and by virtue of the high-cost block, it is often stealing from cars that night outdoors. And if the block broke or stolen, it will have to fork out at 400 cu
Reliability Chassis Volvo Hs90
Operating experience has shown that the Volvo Hs90 suspension is comfortable and very strong, and if you operate a car without extreme loads, then the repair of the suspension will have to do no more often than once every 100,000 km. Only stabilizer racks can be tested, but they, on average, serve 60-70 km. Exterior shoes walk 120-150 thousand km. The original Slus is sold only in the assembly with the shaft and will cost 300 USD, not the original - at 100-150 USD. Front shock absorbers have a resource of 100-150 thousand km, the replacement of one costs 70-150 USD. The original rear shock absorbers are not simple here, but "golden", since a couple will have to lay out 800-900 cu. But this price has its own explanation - such shock absorbers support constant road clearance in independence from the workload of the car.
The rear hub bearings are cleared of 100-120 thousand km, change assembled with the hub, the replacement is asked for 100-200 USD. The front is keen on 130-150 thousand km, the new is 80-150 USD. Stabilizer bushings can hold out up to 120,000 km, change assembly with the stabilizer. The steering rail on dorestayling cars is rather weak and can start knocking after 50,000 km. After restyling, the manufacturer refined this node and increased the resource to 150-200 thousand km. The price of a new rail ranges in the range of 350-650 USD, the repair is asked for 50-100 cu.
Outcome:
Volvo XX90 first years of release has a sufficiently large number of flaws. In addition, today, they have big runs, so choosing such a car you need to understand that it may take serious money investments at any time. A large number after restyled cars are brought from Europe and America, it is impossible to say that these are very bad options, you just will not have the opportunity to track their history, and considering the decency of most sellers, the consequences can be sad themselves. Therefore, the most optimal option for the purchase will be a car, purchased in the official dealer center. And if, on the diagnosis of servicemen will not detect serious flaws, then such a car will give you a lot of positive emotions from exploitation. The most successful for purchase in the secondary market is considered to be Volvo XX90 recent years.
If you are the owner of this car model, please describe the problems that you have to face during the operation of the car. Perhaps it is your feedback that will help readers of our site when choosing a car.
Respect, editors Car auto
Europe has been content with large SUVs from the United States for a long time. But when Europeans presented similar products, the Americans were forced to humbly squeeze their tail. To this confrontation in the midst of the "Racing of SUVs" suddenly joined Volvo. Swedes took all the best from their legendary universal and presented a higher level model. They offered a real alternative to the passenger cars of the premium class. The result exceeded all expectations.
Volvo XS90 debuted in 2002 at Detroit Motor Show. This is not surprising, especially since it is outside the ocean that the largest market for the sale of such cars is located. HS90 very quickly became the most popular Volvo model and enjoyed in great demand during the entire production period. Volvo XC90 is often subjected to small cosmetic and technical changes. More significant occurred only twice - in 2006 and 2012. The production of the first generation model was completed in 2014, after entering the market almost 640,000 copies. What is interesting, the model continued to collect in China.
Exterior and interior
Volvo XC90 design typical for a large SUV and is not particularly delicious, but has characteristic easily recognizable features. This car does not cause such bright emotions, such as BMW X5, but at the same time has a certain proportion of prestige. On respect among other drivers and non-historical pedestrians, massive body care and quite a big road clearance.
The aforementioned prestige is best expressed in minimalism in the interior. Inside comfortable and aesthetic. The salon is decorated with high-quality materials. In addition, it is distinguished by a scope and phenomenal practicality. Volvo XC90 can even carry 7 people. Of course, at the expense of two additional seats in the trunk. In this configuration, the trunk has a volume of 249 liters.
If we confine ourselves to five places, our disposal will be 483-530 liters of free space, depending on the position of the slide chairs of the rear row. Further transformations of the rear sofa allow you to reach 1837 liters. Just for large purchases in the hypermarket! Another advantage is a rich equipment with equipment, whose task to increase the level of comfort and safety.
Safety
Within decades, special attention paid special attention. Back in the 1980s, Swedish cars responded to more stringent security criteria than the standards required.
In HC90, it went even further, adding previously unknown security features. Whips - hidden complex protection of the crew from the effects of the blow of another vehicle from behind. Part of the system is the special design of the head restraints, which, unlike many other cars, really do their job. What they do not have enough, so it is adjusting the height that in practice it usually does not bother.
This looks like a leather seat upholstery through 180,000 km.
To reduce the consequences of the side impact in the XX90, the SIPS side impact protection system was used, known even on earlier models. Complex strengthening in the floor and doors help to remove the energy of the passengers.
In the Euroncap tests, Swedish SUV expectedly earned 5 stars. XC90 scored for front and side shocks unprecedented 34 points, and for protection of pedestrians - 10 points.
Scandinavians worked out about other road users. A part of the front subframe is a deformation design, which is used to reduce the consequences of the collision for lower vehicles. Something similar for many years use trucks.
Engine
Interested in buying Volvo XC90 can choose between four gasoline engines and one diesel.
Mass became the turbocharged motor with a working volume of 2.5 liters and with a capacity of 210 hp. This five-cylinder T5 engine copes with a weight of more than 2 tons, but it is not worth measuring on impressive dynamic characteristics and fuel efficiency. The consumption in the mixed cycle lies within 11-12 l / 100 km.
An even larger six-cylinder T6 volume of 2.9 liters was obtained from T5. The diameter of the cylinders remained the same - 83 mm, and the stroke of the piston decreased from 93.2 to 90 mm. Achieve power 272 hp Two turbocharger helped with two compressed air coolers.
Both engines used the timing belt drive.
The five-cylinder T5 has lived until 2006, and T6 surrendered a year earlier. The reason was the emergence of the EURO-4 standard. Atmospheric 3.2 liters (243 hp) came to change T5 (243 hp), and T6 - atmospheric V8 with a capacity of 4.4 liters (315 hp) with an unusual corner of collapse of 60 degrees.
In atmospheric 3.2 chain is located on the side of the gearbox. In addition, not only the system of changing the phases of gas distribution valves, but also a two-stage lifting of CPS intake valves. Her task is fuel efficiency.
The eight-cylinder engine was developed by Volvo together with Yamaha. In practice, the fuel consumption of V8 is modest than that of T6. But less than 12-13 liters it is better not to count on. The engine works softly even on high speed due to the additional balancing shaft.
Gasoline engines, if regularly served, do not deliver problems. In Motors 3.2 V6 and 4.4 V8, it may be necessary to replace the timing chain, so it is necessary to carefully check its condition.
The only diesel engine has five cylinders, a working volume of 2.4 liters and various modifications with a capacity of 163 hp. (2002-2006), 185 hp (2002-2010) and 200 hp (from 2010). It is quite obvious that this is the most economical unit in the ruler (average consumption of 8-9 liters), and it was very popular in the European market.
Diesel is considered quite reliable, but at high runs there are problems with nozzles, a tensioner of the timing belt and the DPF sump filter.
D5 return 185 hp Sometimes suffers due to faulty vortex dampers. The mechanism of the damper drive (servomotor) is wearing, and the turbodiesel passes into the emergency mode. Fortunately, the dampers never fall into the engine.
Almost all Volvo XC90 are still exploited with the first silencer. New costs 585 euros.
Transmission
The SUV is equipped with a drive for all four wheels. Despite the promising look and high clearance should not be left too far from the asphalt. Off-road capabilities - were not a priority for designers.
The distribution of traction in the axes is carried out using the Haldex II clutch, which, if necessary, transmits a portion of the power to the rear axle. Since 2009, they began to install the fourth-generation coupling. It is characterized by a control unit and an electro-hydraulic pump.
For Haldex's coupling, a regular oil change is important - every 40-60 thousand km. It is surprising that Volvo does not give such recommendations. The system fails can be caused by a faulty control unit (moisture penetration) or an electric pump (hydraulic fluid falls into its housing). Pressure sensor can and may occur less frequently.
Unfortunately, the remaining elements of the transmission, not eternal. Corner can cause an angular transmission (serves to transfer torque to the rear axle) and the bearing of the rear axle differential.
Among the boxes worse than all, the 4-speed automatic GM showed, which with difficulty coofers with the weight of the car. She was paired with powerful T6 and usually surrendered after 150-200 thousand km. Fortunately, the box can be repaired, with which specialized workshops are coping with. However, prices for such services are not small. In any case, it is better than buying a used box of unknown origin.
T5 was combined with a more reliable 5-speed AISIN machine. Atmospheric motors 3.2 and 4.4 combined with an upgraded 6-speed automatic AISIN box.
If you are planning to use a car to tow the trailer, it is better to purchase a model, with a special module that switches the box to the "trailer" mode, which extends the life of the machine.
Despite the fact that the transmission liquid of the automatic transmission is designed for the entire service life of the box, change the oil every 60,000 km.
Lovers "work by the lever" can find an option with a 6-speed manual transmission M66 of its own Volvo design. The presence of MCPP implies the use of a two-mask flywheel. Its replacement, along with the clutch and frosting bearing, will be covered only by a little less than the cost of repairing the machine.
Chassis
Chassis Volvo Hs90 is very comfortable, which is doubly pleasant during long trips. Car behavior Safe and predictable. A significant mass makes itself felt only with sharp maneuvers at high speeds. Fortunately, in the event of a driver error, security systems intervene.
In the chassis, the steering traction is pretty quickly. The cost of the original about 320 euros, analogs - about 100 euros.
It is also worth checking the status of the silent blocks of the front suspension levers. One of the common problems is the low resource of the hub bearings.
Some cars use rear shock absorbers that support the constant height of the back regardless of the load. This is a passive nibl. Such shock absorbers compared with ordinary, much thicker. During movement, they should not create any extraneous noise similar to potatoes. There should be no omites. Original nivomates expensive, more accessible analogue from SACHS.
For its own security, it is necessary to regularly check the status of the braking system. Because of the large mass of the crossover, its components occurs very quickly.
Wheel bolts on early models rust after a couple of years. It looks ugly, however, the lack of only cosmetic.
Typical malfunctions
Deciding for the purchase of Volvo XC90, it should be understood that the prices for some spare parts and service will be expensive. In general, XS90 does not apply to particularly unreliable cars, but has its weaknesses.
Excess sensors and complex electronics sometimes throw out tricks. The elimination of such faults is a rather difficult task due to the complexity of diagnosing causes and difficult repair. This is especially true for cars restored after an accident.
You should pay attention to the operation of the display, where radio stations and other data are displayed. The display should not flicker. Otherwise, its end is close. After a while he goes out and nothing shows anything else. Repair of relatively roads.
Another source of possible problems is the intellectual distribution device. It is a central node of the multiplex network and data bus. The unit is placed under a plastic lining at the bottom of the windshield, which is exposed to water and moisture. Characteristic for machines 2003-2004 release. Later versions of this are better protected from water.
Over time, under the influence of sandblasts, the headlights are muttered. If the polishing does not help anymore, you will have to install new for 970 euros.
In some copies there are problems with the air conditioning system.
In old copies, plastic side linings of the front seats breaks. Cover for seats with ventilation is more expensive than usual almost 3 times.
Conclusion
Swedish version SUV was successful. This is evidenced by not only sales statistics, but also a great interest in the successor. Used Volvo HS90, despite the high costs of operation, perfectly copes with the role of a universal family car, providing the necessary level of prestige. When choosing a crossover, beware of copies from the USA - many of them visited serious accidents. Copies collected after 2005 are considered better and reliable.
The extraordinary and ergonomic crossover Volvo XC90 is famous for its outstanding safety and good power potential. But this car has weaknesses to which you need to pay close attention.
Weak venues Volvo XC90:
● transmission;
● Haldex coupling control unit (DEM);
● Central Electronic CEM control unit;
● steering rail;
● Rear hubs of the chassis;
● Changes for changing phases of gas distribution;
● Generator bearings.
Signs of faults and their check when buying without a visit to a hundred:
1. Transmission must be checked, especially if the car with automatic transmission. Manual gearbox is more reliable. Most of all complaints to the 4-range GM 4T65E. You can identify the problem with a test trip at various speeds. To pay attention to the slip, strikes in the transmission, the appearance of vibrations, the transfer of transmission, as well as jerks when switching. Any type of check-in requires checking the connection site with an angular gearbox for the presence of leaks.
2. In terms of electronics, the car is quite complicated. The master is the front-wheel drive, when slipping one wheel, the rear wheel drive is turned on. The Haldex Coupling (Dem) control unit is often faced. Sometimes filters, oil system channels are clogged and the DEM pump fails. You can check their work in a hundred or stopping in dirt to ask the assistant to visually watch the connection of the rear axle.
Often it simply may not be on the spot, it is located under the car, is not protected, so they often steal. Learn about the presence of this expensive unit, you can lift the car on the flight.
3. The Central Electronic CEM control unit also often causes complaints in the work. If the audio system is enabled, the on-board computer or wipers work incorrectly, it means that the problem block. Therefore, when buying should be carefully checking their work. After all, in the future the car will refuse to go at all.
Steering Reika
4. Intensive use of the machine leads to the wear of the steering rack details. In Volvo XC90, it is most often this power lock. Full diagnostics is possible only with a hundred, but test drive will help to identify the problem. It is necessary to listen to the scraper and the knock, as well as difficulty controlling the steering wheel. Sometimes it is only required to tighten or adjust it, but there may be serious problems.
Chassis
5. Noise, vibration with a speed set can be with faulty rear hubs of the car's chassis. You can check their condition by raising the rear wheels in turn. You must first shake along the axis of the bridge, with the problems the wheel will hang out or there will be a small backlash. Then twisting to listen to the presence of light chains, grincping and jamming.
6. Motors with proper care are quite reliable, problems may occur with couplings changing phases of gas distribution. The engine is enabled will help learn about their faults. In this case, crackling will be heard.
7. Generator bearings, approximately 70 thousand. Can be checked. Conducted this, of course, first of all, for sure the flawless designers, as they are poorly protected from dirt.
In addition to the above, the listed weak points can be called a few more, but it depends on the mileage and operating conditions of the car. Therefore, during self-checking Volvo XC90, you need to drive a couple of kilometers and listen to how the engine and the box works. If some knocks or screens are heard, then you need to contact the car service. Especially if the machine with mileage is more than 100 thousand km., It is not necessary to rely on my strength. Problems with the data of these cars may occur at any time after such a run.
The main drawbacks of Volvo XC90:
1. Noise isolation;
2. Bad overview of the front of the machine;
4. Dear service;
5. Hard suspension;
6. Wide front racks interfere with the review.
Conclusion.
This is a comfortable and powerful family crossover with proper care without causing complaints. When buying should be taken into account that XC90 every year loses its value on average by 15%. This will help well bargain, but its further sale can be a problem.
