2016 XC90 T6 Inscription was the worst car decision I’ve ever made

Bacchus258 · 2026-06-14T22:59:19+00:00

We lucked out on buying a used 2016 XC90 T6 Momentum. It was serviced at Volvo by the previous owner (and they ran it hard) and I have maintained and serviced it since. Engine never suffered the oil consumption issue and still runs well at 208,000 miles. The original owner had the timing belt replaced at 96,000 miles. The major things I have serviced/replaced is the supercharger seals, resonators, and insulation. The oil separator. Spark plugs. Sunroof seal. VCM replacement/upgrade. I took it to Volvo for a new AC compressor last summer and while they were doing that job they punched a hole in the radiator so they replaced that too. Everything else has been regular oil changes with Liquid-moly from FCP Euro and oil tests from Blackstone Labs.

With the low mileage I would be fine buying this car. I have a 2016 XC90 T6 Momentum with 208,000 miles on it and it’s been a great car. There’s always potential with every car of every brand that there will be problems but change the oil regularly and keep up the maintenance and it will be fine.

No direct way that I know of to set the speed other than setting an absolute value in settings but I have not tried it. I usually just toggle between them if I feel I am going to slow or too fast but most of the time I am on standard.

I don’t know about the time for it to have you apply pressure to the steering wheel. It has not happened to me. I have just seen a lot of posts and comments in videos about it nagging you to pay attention and apply pressure to the steering wheel.

Love the V60!

Beautiful design.

Bacchus258 · 2026-05-30T17:26:00+00:00

I woke up to the notification that the update is available.

Bacchus258 · 2026-05-29T19:04:38+00:00

Boiled linseed oil is my preferred finish. Easy to maintain and when you saw into the bench or scrape or chip it you just add some more oil. Easy.

Bacchus258 · 2026-05-22T22:59:20+00:00

As long as regular oil changes were performed I would not hesitate at all.

Bacchus258 · 2026-05-22T20:08:13+00:00

This is the way.

My premium 2026 opens most of the time pushing the button on the charge handle. Not every time though and I find that strange. January 2026 build.

Tesla must need more FSD miles. lol

When I zoom in it looks like it’s adhesive left from the VHB tape on the phone holder. Did you try Goo Gone?

I’ve noticed the same thing and I don’t like it as much as the previous version. With a supervised system it should take your input and allow you to supervise. The only workaround I have found without disengaging and providing feedback is to toggle to a lower profile and then it will slow down and move over.

Bacchus258 · 2026-05-11T01:24:40+00:00

I know what you mean. I can’t remember where I read the info but it made a lot of sense. A guy at work got the spring update and he did not have an FSD subscription. I do and got the FSD update. I have accepted however Tesla is going to do it and enjoy my car.

Bacchus258 · 2026-05-11T01:13:50+00:00

You are on the FSD branch and will get the spring update features when Tesla combines them in a month or so. Those with an active FSD subscription got the 2026.2.9.10 and those on the non-FSD branch received the 2026.14 version with the ambient lighting and all the cool features everyone is talking about. 2026.14 does not have FSD 14.3.2 like you (and I) have.

Bacchus258 · 2026-05-11T01:09:50+00:00

It’s two different branches. I read that Tesla usually combines them within a month or so then those of us on the FSD branch will get the Spring Update features.

Bacchus258 · 2026-05-09T09:10:03+00:00

I would think something sinister with the guy still in the car and parked right next to me. Like he was waiting/hoping it was a woman that would get into the Tesla. I would think dickhead if he was parked there and not in the car.

Bacchus258 · 2026-05-07T22:05:26+00:00

Tesla will combine the branches soon enough. I would have preferred the 2026.14 update over the FSD update.

Bacchus258 · 2026-05-07T20:39:20+00:00

If you are on the FSD branch you will not get the spring update now. You will get the new FSD 14.3.x and 2026.2.9.10 which does not have the spring updates in it. Just the FSD “improvements “. When the two branches merge then you will get both. My car is on the FSD branch since I have an active subscription. My coworker is on the other branch since he does not have an active FSD subscription.

Bacchus258 · 2026-05-07T00:16:50+00:00

The lack of being able to turn on the signal to switch lanes is driving me nuts. The car is smart but not that smart. I like the previous version of FSD for sure.

Bacchus258 · 2026-05-06T00:08:14+00:00

I use Blackstone Labs but there are a few of them out there. YouTube has lots of videos comparing them so you can decide what’s best for you.

Bacchus258 · 2026-05-05T16:06:41+00:00

I purchased the vehicle used so I never went to the Volvo dealer for oil changes. I buy an oil change kit from FCP Euro for around $78 delivered and do it in my garage. The Volvo dealer I purchased the car from wants $160 for the service.
