- Here is a short video detailing the REAL reason why I was able to get a good deal on my 2006 Volvo XC90 V8. This also covers some information about buying these particular Volvos, as well as things to be wary of in future prospects with purchasing these cars. Full review coming soon on this as well!

I purchased identical vehicle 5 years ago. It too had sunroof drain issues, water sloshing under carpet, leaking valve cover gaskets. In time plugs,coils, fuel rail had to be replaced. Rishes Auto broke rail and fuel injector clips during gasket replacement and did not tell me so. Found out hard way on way home. It has 201k and needs gaskets done again. Also transmission service. Fluid and filter. It is a wonderful suv when running good. Horrible when something fails. Costly. To look at it, one would never know it is 16 years old. No rust.
I cleaned the drain and put silicone on it for 1 hour, I had no more problems, 320,000 km, perfect, ahhh, I forgot, do the maintenance requested by the manufacturer, and replace quality oils etc.
I recently got an 04 t5 xc90, though it's been wrecked and the frame is compromised, every bushing , shock absorber, and strut is bad, but I've still never experienced a smoother ride before. Planning to buy a xc90 t6 or V8 that I can do a subframe/engine/trans swap on. The t6 and V8 variants were too unreliable and go for relatively cheap. Solid project car 👍
Wow you got this for $800. That is a steal.
Did you take any video on the seal replacement process? I maybe doing a doing mine soon. Would be good to see some of the steps.
Seal replacement? Whatcha mean?
What's you view on changing the transmission fluid on these XC90's with high mileage?
If it’s never been done, probably just do an initial drain and fill, drive it maybe 5-10k miles, do another drain and fill, drive another 5-10k miles and do one more, that way the transmission has good new fluid in it. Make sure to reset the transmission service counter and adaptations, otherwise the transmission might start acting weird
Never heard of the sunroof drains on XC90 having problems. 2009 here in Seattle area where it rains a ton and never a problem
It’s mainly for people that live in areas with a lot of trees, debris from all of that clogs the sunroof drains! Super common, I figured if you live in a rainy area or wash your car regularly they don’t have that issue!
So you would recommend? I'm looking at one tomorrow for $1300 with a small PS leak and it needs the VVT valves cleaned. 168k miles.
Yes they’re excellent vehicles, make sure you find some service history on it too!
Sir I have a 2010 Volvo and that fuel rail is definitely fragile. I broke mines not knowing it was all one piece. I’ve been looking and looking to purchase a new fuel rail and haven’t had any luck. May I ask, where did you find yours and how much was it?
I was able to get one through a local Volvo dealership at a discount via a friend who worked there, paid roughly $440 for it. Most dealerships list it around $600. Check out Volvo Lisle Parts (dealership in Illinois) as they have heavily discounted OEM parts!
That XC90 is going to be beautiful when it's all done, Please, please, pleaaaassseeeeee let me know if you ever decide to sell it!!!! A 2005-2012 Volvo XC90 is one of my dream cars on the top of my bucket list!!!
I have a 2007 Volvo XC90 same color but black interior
70K miles on it.
If you want this one send me an email, it’s for sale now!
Sounds like Marty McFly...
I'm looking at one that has 246,580 miles on it is it worth buying?
If it’s been maintained, and has documentation then yes!
I have an '07 xc90 v8. Time to replace that crappy valve body. Some of the guys on MVS said reach out to Volvo and see if they will cover some of the cost for a replacement since it's their fault, Volvo said F off lol, I am now looking for a valve body from a wrecked '09 or '10. I got lucky and found a transmission cooler for it so I will be adding that on once I get ready to do the VB swap.
What transmission cooler did you use . One off the 5 cylinder ?
@@chrisdoe6890 Yup! That's the one I got! I am now planning on having a radiator bypass done for it since it's not something I need where I live.
@@clintgriffin8310 are they somewhat interchangeable as far as plug and play . Someone had mentioned that some models of the V8 came with transmission cooler ?
@@chrisdoe6890 I am pretty sure the V8 and the 3.2 use the same cooler, that's what I heard which is why I bought it. I picked mine up from eBay for $70.
How much did you pay for yours and what's the milage?
I paid $700 for it and it’s currently sitting at 205k miles
@@CaReviewsOG Just a $700 🤯 I want it.
RIP Volvosaur... Will it get the V8 then?
Absolutely!
I have a 2005 V8 Fully loaded 235K
Sooooo how much did you pay for it?
$700. One of the cheapest XC90 V8s for sale at the time
@@CaReviewsOG so that means I should buy the V8 Ocean Race XC90 that runs and drives for $2000?
@@hondrta as long as it has maintenance history, then yes! They are solid vehicles for sure.
@@hondrta I also just uploaded a XC90 V8 buyers guide, so definitely check that out!
What is the blue painters tape for?
My only favorite color is Bright White but please wash that Volvo and I mean scrub it ⬜👑⬜👑⬜👑⬜
I did, I’ll be doing another video on it soon!
