XC90 DIY servicing
My 2006 XC90 is due a service and I thought I'd do it myself. Other than just the general replacement of the filters and oil is there anything electronic that needs resetting? I had a Peugeot Bipper van a while back the required the oil degradation counter resetting! Doing that was a damn sight easier than said.

The only thing that requires re-setting as part of a regular service is the service reminder indicator, and then only if you find the message being displayed on start up annoying. It will require access to VIDA to clear the message; I have seen many posts over the years saying that it can be done without VIDA, using the trip counter button, but I have never been able to do it.
If you intend to change the ATF fluid, the counter for that will also need doing, again via VIDA. There have been various software updates over the years, which get done by the dealer at scheduled services, but I am not aware of any that have been released over the last 2 or 3 years so, if your car has been dealer serviced in the last year or two, it should be up to date.

Thanks guys. Its had full Volvo service history up until now, but as its getting old and high mileage, plus I do service a hell of a lot of cars I thought there's no point paying somebody else to do it. Do you know what sort of mileage the ATF counter comes on at?

It is not fixed but counts the number of high temperature events. It is a "smart" counter. If the transmission has not been flushed before, it is well worth doing.. and it is a DIY job

Will second that. I used the Gibbons method (search Youtube for a really good video) Used JWS 3309 Automatic transmission fluid. Got it from Opie oils.
Hi mine is a 10 plate but a 2011 D5 model. I replaced my oil using a slightly modified Gibbons method. I taped a funnel to the return line you pull out of the top of the oil cooler (top right of radiator as you stand in front of the car) and made sure it was steady when replacing the oil. I poured in the same volume as I removed each time I removed some. It is slightly slower but less hassle than removing the Air intake, and all the othe rbits and pieces required. Mine is a TF-80SC gearbox (probably but worth checking your manual) then I used JWS 3309 Automatic transmission fluid. Got it from Opie oils online. bought about 8-9 litres (I think) Opinion seems to be that It really SHOULD be the red JWS3309. But have heard other oils being used. Also another thing, I bought some replacement O rings from Skandix but went for the cheaper black ones... wished I bought the yellow OEM ones now I feel they might have fitted better. but are £5 each! lol. However no leaks even with the black ones :-) On the whole it was very satisfying and fairly easy to do... Didn't need to use the drainplug which only partially drains the oil and needs to be repeated over a few days. The gibbons method you carry on (while you've got fresh oil to put in it) until it runs clear red again
