This is my first attempt at an owners review/buyers guide for my, second, phase 1 XC90.

I've owned Volvo's since I was 20 alongside a wide range of other cars so I hold no bias but do have an appreciation for the "Ford" era of Volvo especially with the Euro 3 D5 engine. Even though I've never owned a Ford!

Previous Volvos: 1999 S80 2.4, 2000 V70 2.5TDI, 2004 V70 2.4 D5 (still own), 2005 XC90 2.5T and 2007 C30 2.4 D5. Not including other Volvos in the family.

Apologies about there being almost no format, I can't believe how hard it is to squeeze what I'd call important information into a reasonable length video. If you have ANY questions about the XC90 then please leave a comment and I'll help where I can.

A few other issues I've encountered on the previous XC90 I had are the headlight level adjustment sensor on the rear axle seizing and breaking the rivets attaching it to the suspension these are easily replaced. If a wheel bearing goes it can be difficult to hear which one it is (from the drivers seat) so be careful if this happens. I had a rear wheel bearing faulty but ended up replacing both the fronts because the sound was so loud from the front of the car somehow.
The power steering hose coming from the pump in the engine bay depending on the year the crimping can fail or the hose can become brittle where the jubilee clip holds. I actually had the aluminium corrode on the return pipe if you see my other videos.

Your feedback is much appreciated and I'll use it to improve my content when I do my other cars.

This video was recorded in the garden and any footage not on the property was recorded before the lockdown.
