Few small problems/snags with my xc90

[Tony500]

Since having my xc90 I’ve noticed a few problems.

1. Radio/satnav working fine and then switches off for 1 second and then resumes back to what it was doing. Only does it once and not repeated during a drive? Could this be expensive or a a loose connection?

2. Rear centre booster seat not opening. Seems like the cable or handle catch has came apart. Is there a fix for this?

3. Drinks holder cover does not stay shut, it returns to the open position if you try and close, common or an easy fix?

4. Drivers side rear door does not always open from the handle on the outside, I can open from inside and then close and open from the exterior? I’ve lubed all slides and locks ect?

5. Get an intermittent anti skid and abs disabled on dash? This appears and disappears when it feels like. My Vida isn’t playing game but is this a common fault?

5. Seen on many v70’s and xc90’s the B pillar just below the hole for the seat belt gets frayed and looks horrible, has anyone done a fix to this? I was going to try match the cloth with new stuff and cover but I have black dye and some of my interior is black so was going to be creative.


I know some things are silly but that’s the only thing that I would like to fix that’s bugging me the now.

The car is a 2007 xc90

Radio is an easy fix by Vovo DIagnostic in London:

2, 3, 4, 6 are all mechanical issues - find and fix/replace.

5 may be lots of things but first check the ABS rings on the front hubs. Look for cracks, missing teeth.

The drinks holder is common as crud falls down the gap and gums up the self close mechanism which then can disconnect.
First remove the gear lever surround by lifting it up just infant of the cup holder and unclipping, no need to remove it.
Yo can then see the two torx screws at the front that hold the top centre console trim, (outer ones I recall), there are two more under the rubber channel just behind the cup holder.
The top trim then just pulls up and will bring the cupholder with it.
Again no need to remove it, as you can reach underneath and ease out the two locking tabs of the cup holder insert to remove the cupholder.
This will give you access to the mechanism which is in the centre of the lid.
The lid can now just unclip from either side for removal, cleaning or repair.
