Solohitt555: And it happened to me yesterday! Engine died on the highway! Me of all people ���
I found that I'd driven off without radiator cap on, after topping up water. After 45min to 1 hour in Lagos traffic in blissful oblivion, the engine stopped. In the last two minutes or so, I noticed like pinking noise that got worse, then low power, then looked at temp gauge and it was near red. Just at that instant, before I could switch off, the engine stopped.
This is a well-tuned 1MZ-FE on a 2001 Avalon. I'm not a car novice by any stretch, which is why this is so distressing.
Please guys what and what am I looking at here. Could there be a safety mechanism here.  |

perhaps he was referencing the is350 Kelvin30286063: I was wondering where they got 300hp too. Obviously the size of that car can't carry a 300hp engine. |

well said.... you just earned a follow chronos00: The 06 Xc90 has various engine based trims, is it a 2.5turbo? Or a V8. You need to verify that it's actually a 2006 XC90, because the previous model year, 2005, physically looks essentially the same, but had a notoriously unreliable engine/transmission pairing, the T6. For 2006, the V8 replaced the T6 as the premium XC90 trim.
Reliability is on par with similar models, reliability is related to maintenance to some extent, both of which can be said to be average, for an 06 XC90. The earlier V8 engines had some balance shaft issues, but those were resolved subsequently. For more on those issues:
https://blog.fcpeuro.com/the-dark-side-of-volvos-excellent-v8
Ruggedness, the XC90 wasn't really designed as an off road vehicle, it's no Jeep Wrangler or Toyota 4runner. However the Haldex AWD system is relatively capable of taking you through most terrain you would encounter while driving in Nigeria. Just don't go climbing mountains, and you would be fine.
Fuel efficiency for the 06 is linked to the engine trim. The V8 is a 4.4l Yamaha designed workhorse putting out 311 bhp, and impressive torque for its category. The 2.5t engine can feel significantly underpowered, especially as the XC90 is a rather heavy vehicle. The V8 is not overly thirsty under normal driving applications. If you're one of those people that can't stand people passing you when you drive, or you're lead footed, well that would translate to your pocket in fuel costs. The 2.5t is a relative fuel sipper, but don't expect to win any races with it.
Parts and expertise are available for the XC90s. Volvos have witnessed a recent resurgence, however outside Lagos some parts (and expertise) may be tricky to locate, one may have to resort to buying in Lagos and shipping cross country. In Lagos however, there's a street in Ladipo, Daleko/Alhaji Amusa street, that's almost exclusively all things Volvo. You could find pretty much any part you'd ever need there. Labour, too.
The desired features are also linked to the trims. The V8 models tend to come with third row seating (only comfortable for kids), third row AC outlets, rear seat entertainment (dvd/headphone outlets), BLIS (blind spot monitors). Other available options for all trims are the pop up display unit, rear parking or proximity sensors, etc.
The summary is, for its price point, the 06 XC90 is a capable vehicle. Are there better alternatives? Certainly, but most of those have higher sticker prices. If the V8 scares you, up your budget a bit to include the 2007 XC90, with its all new 3.2l Inline 6 Cylinder engine which is a compromise between the 2.5t and the 4.4l V8. In addition, your location may also influence the availability of parts and labour. |

I was transitioning from a sportier , stiffer control. The Merc offers a softer, more luxurious experience which I have come to love more. |

Inception: If you know the family that this woman comes from, you will not be saying this.
That she broke out of such illustrious and affluent family to carve a niche for herself in a field dominated by men is highly admirable. Yes she messed up this deal, but bringing her to this level of dirt is disgusting to say the least.
Let us stop the mudslinging and address this matter with tact and maturity. The most important thing here is that the OP's car issues are resolved and she learns her lessons on how not to mess up deals like this.
Let us have some decency. thrown to the dogs |

you shouldn't be bothered about any move from others... let the poor man get relief from his pains anyway he deems fit radautoworks: PS: I am aware of a concerted effort by some NLers to use this as an opportunity for self-promotion and to take a swipe at our reputation. It doesn't take a budget Gottlieb Daimler to see what's going to happen so : 1) the car is going to go to the leader's shop who will show up in his hero costume 2) based on information of what we have already done, he will install a new differential and Updated tokunbo ECU 3) he will subtly prod the op into purchasing a tokunbo engine to avoid any parts issues 4) he will find someone to use an alternate moniker and post updates of the fix for that MDX
Of course I could be wrong and none of this will happen. Your move fellas  |
