Problems and breakdowns of the Volvo v90

25 Views

The Volvo v90 is a premium estate car known for its spacious interior, sleek design and advanced safety features. Whilst the Volvo v90 is generally renowned for being reliable and of quality construction, like any vehicle it may experience some common problems over time. Here we’ll take a closer look at some of them.

Volvo v90 engine problems

Engine problems that have been commonly reported with the Volvo v90 include issues with the emission control systems, such as the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system, which may lead to warning lights appearing on the dashboard and potential reductions in engine performance.

Additionally, some v90 owners have experienced problems with turbochargers, including issues with boost pressure or failures, which can result in loss of power and increased exhaust smoke. The use of high-quality fuel and fluids recommended by Volvo can help prevent problems with control systems and performance.

Volvo v90 gearbox problems

Some v90 owners frequently report “gearbox jolt” also known as transmission jolt or shift shock, which refers to a sudden, harsh or jerky movement felt when shifting gears in a car with an automatic transmission. This can occur when the transmission shifts gears abruptly or violently, causing a noticeable jolt or lurch in the vehicle. In many cases, a software update and Volvo v90 gearbox oil can fix this problem.

Volvo v90 door lock problems

Door lock problems appear to be a common issue with door locking mechanisms not working properly, causing difficulty in opening or closing doors. Central locking systems that fail to lock or unlock all doors simultaneously have also been described by owners.

To troubleshoot a car door that won't lock properly, begin by inspecting the locking mechanism for any dirt or objects that may be hampering its function. You should also apply lubrication to the door hinges and latch mechanisms which will improve their performance. If the problem continues, you may want to reset the central locking system by disconnecting the car battery for a few minutes and then reconnecting it.

Volvo v90 air conditioning problems

This issue is a common one and can be easily fixed as it's usually caused by a refrigerant leak. To resolve the problem, you need to locate the source of the leak. This could be from components such as the compressor, condenser, evaporator or hoses. Once you have found the culprit, repair or replace the damaged component as necessary to stop the leak. The most common ways to repair leaks include soldering or welding damaged areas, replacing O-rings or gaskets, or patching small holes with epoxy or special sealants. It's important to make sure that the repaired component is correctly reinstalled and sealed to prevent any leakage in the future.

DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) problems

DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) problems

Problems with the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) can result in the accumulation of soot and other particulate matter, leading to clogging or blockage. This can affect engine performance, increase fuel consumption, and trigger warning lights on the dashboard. If you notice at least one of these symptoms in your Volvo v90, you may need a new DPF for your Volvo V90 before it reaches the standard 100,000 mile life expectancy.
