Creaking seats
Hi,
I have recently purchased a 6 month old S90 D5 R-Design pro after running a 14 plate V60 D5 R-design lux for a couple of years. Love the new car and the jump in technology is astounding. I have had the car a couple of days and there is an annoying creaking/popping noise coming from the driver seat when I either brake or accelerate. The car has the standard Leather/Nubuck R-design seats. I will be taking the car back to have it done under warranty but I was just wondering if anybody else has had a similar issue? Thank you! |

I can make it happen by sitting in the seat and rocking from one side to another. It needs a bit of weight, and doesn't happen when my children (5 stone ish) are sat in it. :wq

Mine doesn’t creak (yet) but does click every time I pull away from a dead stop.

My drivers seat has started creaking, but I find it quite endearing, like a favourite old chesterfield.
I must be getting old...

May be the seat base? Many moons ago I had a VW which used to have an issue with seat bases cracking

I have this too, not so much a creak but definitely a noise from the seat. I remember having the exact same thing on my old style V60 when it was new and some ‘special grease’ on the seat runners under warranty fixed it for good.

The V40 I got new last year has white grease smothered all over the seat rails. It's a pain because it gets on my vacuum cleaner brush.
Perhaps they realised there was an issue and this grease is their solution, the creaking seems to have been common across many Volvo models. |

Thanks everyone, the car is booked in on Tuesday so will see what they come up with there is very annoying squeaking noise coming from around the A-pillar too so hopefully that will get sorted.

My XC90 passenger seat sits there cracking away over non-smooth surfaces, quite annoying, will try and figure it out not a big deal.
