2004 Volvo XC90 T6 AWD 4dr SUV (2.9L 6cyl Turbo 4A)

The 2004 Volvo XC90 T6 is a gorgeous vehicle and one of the nicest driving experiences you'll ever have. We love this vehicle inside and outside. If your looking to purchase the "T6" model you need to look into the service records of the Transmission. The 2.9liter twin turbocharged 6 cylinder has a lot of torque and horsepower. The weight of the vehicle with that power puts a lot of stress on the transmission. So I'd check to see if the ATF was serviced at a "Volvo Dealership" every 25,000 miles. I would check to see if the transmission had any repairs or if it was ever replaced. Also the front/rear differential oil should be serviced immediately as preventive maintenance, the diff's are often overlooked. Any turbocharged engine should get frequent oil changes to assist with cooling of the actual turbocharger.
Good Car

We have the 2.5L turbo. It has been very good with only minor repairs. Tires and front brakes at 45000 miles. I dont know why others say tires every 22000 miles. A pleasure to drive and will keep it for another 10 years!

I have never had a better experience with a car. I have owned a Honda, Mercedes, BMW, Audi and Toyota, and this Volvo has by far been the best car out of all my experiences. I have over 130,000 miles on it and it runs like it is new. I have never kept a car this long, but I never want to get rid of it! I have taken really good care of this car and kept up all the maintenance, so maybe if you don't that's where the problems come in that other people are having.

Have had this thing now for 10+ years and 90,000 miles. Went from primary car for hauling two kids to a third car that sits outside and is reserved for "dirty work". Have been lucky enough to avoid any engine and transmission problems but the cost of multiple failed wheel bearings, sway bars, and ignition coils have really mounted - especially for a relatively low-mileage vehicle. Still, the fact that we still have this car says a lot about it. It is extremely versatile, in terms of hauling people and stuff. It has always started and never broken down. And one thing about the Swedes - they know how to make safe cars that can drive through snow! Ten years old and does not look dated.
Bought it cheap! Best car I've ever owned!!!

Seems like if you have the T6 AWD your doomed from the beginning with transmission and electrical problems. I picked up a 2004 2.5 5-cylinder with 80,000 miles and a blown motor at my local Volvo dealer for $2000.00!! Volvo had just installed a new transmission in it about 2000 miles before I bought it under warranty. I Called LKQ and they delivered a fresh 40,000 mile engine to my front door for $800 including shipping! Before I dropped the engine in, I installed a new timing belt water pump and replaced all the oil and coolant seals. Took about 3 days of wrench spinning and I now have a perfect 1 owner 2004 XC90 2.5 AWD with 80,000 miles for about $3200!!
