Common problems and easy repairs on a 2008 XC90
The 2008 Volvo XC90 is a difficult car to maintain. The cabin air filter will require multiple panels and torx bolts to be removed from the footwell of the vehicle for access, which won’t allow for reliable filter changes. Similarly, changing the engine air filter may be a problem as multiple torx bolts will need to be removed before the filter itself can be reached. The tail light housing will need to be removed in order to access any of the bulbs, which will be a lengthy and cumbersome process.
However, the 2008 Volvo XC90 has its upsides. The fog light is accessible by simply reaching behind the front bumper, allowing for reliable bulb changes. Monitoring the brake fluid levels won’t be a problem as its reservoir has very open access. The oil dipstick is quick to find and easy to remove, allowing you to check the levels without hassle.
