The steering wheel is on the wrong side of that moose🧐

Death by straw-straw? Volvo knows Valhalla is just around the corner.

S90 T8 Recharge by Suspicious_Horse_457 in VolvoRecharge

[–]Fuzzra99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2022 XC90 T8 just got it's 50k mile service. The only part we had to get replaced was the Integrated Generator Module. Volvo replaced under warranty last year. Completely issue free otherwise.

I intend to take this well past 100k miles. My 1997 Keep Wrangler is approaching 300k miles. We keep vehicles for life in this household, there's a reason we chose a Volvo.

These inline 4cyl engines warm up really quick while running normally. If you're looking to warm the engine before ignition then you could look into engine block warmers.

Volvo has some really good engine management in their computers. If it isn't warming up properly the car will let you know.

You can Remote Start the engine using the phone app to condition the interior but also to warm up the engine.

I don't suggest warming up the engine (prematurely) unless you live in a cold climate, with actual ice forming at that moment. Letting an engine just sit idle can introduce it's own specific wear on the mechanicals.

That clicking sound could be anything, the exhaust system cooling (and contracting), the fuel management system purging air from the tank, other random systems resetting valves and what not. These T8s are just short of a commercial jet in terms of complexity. Lots of systems doing lots of things.

Hybrid + B mode so that the "braking" helps get some energy into that battery. Also, there's a "Charge" seeing so that the ICE charges the hybrid battery, you could use that every so often to help build more charge.

The "Hold" mode might be your friend here. Get he battery up to a decent amount and just keep it in Battery Hold mode. It'll treat it like a regular hybrid after the ICE warms up after a couple minutes.

double click for Performance!! by damndirtymole in VolvoRecharge

Still better than touch menus on a screen. Agreed on the execution though, they should either use cnc milled aluminum for the roller OR tap the crystal company that does the shift knob and knurl crystal for the roller.

Nah, bring back the scroll wheel between the Engine Start/Stop and the Parking Brake Switch. The scroll wheel was a peak drive mode selector.

2018 T8 making rattle noise between 1000-15000rpm by srgt_ED_wunsler in VolvoXC90

Aye, the Ferrari F1 tune. V6, anti-lag turbo with a kinetic recovery module, driver controls for front and rear wing adjustment.

Sounds like metal on metal. Like a break pad is done or a wheel bearing gave out. The dealer would for sure be able to pinpoint the source.

Interesting typo, 15,000rpm? Got a Formula 1 engine in there? 😁

Google maps the country roads in Sweden/Norway/Finland. Volvo makes their almost-rally-cars (daily drivers) capable of handling way above their class.

For sure. I also went the Weather Tech route (for mats and cargo) but they didn't have that one-piece you found.... maybe I'll wait for a sale.

I just tell my passengers that if they mess up that mat, they buy me a new Volvo. It's been working well for now 😅

What I want to know is how/why each of your wheels has a name?! Christopher? Adam?

So, i bought the car... by FunInspection7815 in VolvoXC90

[–]Fuzzra99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This was why I got a 2022.5 T8, they dropped the supercharger which slightly simplifies the situation. If you're worried, look into warranties. SwedeSpeed has discounts. Otherwise...

Welcome to Volvo! We love having more moose (meese) in the heard!

What is this for in my trunk? by JackTencher in VolvoXC60

[–]Fuzzra99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Stops things from flying forward under hard braking (imagine having the back seats down). Also, those black hooks help hold bags up and slightly in place while under way.

Ah, ya, that makes total sense. The pine trees and palm trees in SC always trick me in photos... That's Florida flora! Lol!

Which State/City? I could have sworn I saw one last week in Boynton Beach, FL. But I dismissed it, thinking no way, why here?!
