It's a shame the sound system isn't working - that should be the top Dolby Prologic II system, which was absolutely banging back in the 00s, and still would be great by modern standards. At the Volvo dealership we had a demo CD with various sound clips on it, (including things like a jet taking off and a train whizzing by) which was played (only on the Dolby Prologic cars) to impress customers.
Bad for leaking under the floor from grommets under the scuttle panel. Then it leaks water down behind the carpet and under the floor. The drivers side floor is where the amp sits.
Haha that’s so awesome. Hopefully I can find a fix for it, although if it’s fibre optics could be expensive/uneconomical
What a great video Joel, i love stuff like this. HIgh mileage, low budget that the average individual will take a punt on. I absolutely love the videos.
Thanks so much!
Tell us your dad is having a mid life crisis without telling us
Get the car up to scratch, head lining, radio, wing mirrors, little bit of body work, wheel refurb then maybe some overland additions - chunky rubber, roof rack, few videos and trips and then auction it off. I think that’d be a great series, something different and maybe get your money back if not make a bit. 👍🏻
Great idea, overland trip back to its home in Sweden. Actually looking at buying one myself, abet much lower mileage than 300+k
Completely agree with the above idea. It would be well worth getting the spares online and trying to get everything working. Nothing like a car in this shape to develop car repair/build knowledge and experience.
The left most button is for limiting security features, like if you want to leave a dog or kid in the car and lock it and don’t want them to trigger the movement sensor, this button will turn that off.
Great video. Really love these high mileage, older cars. The leather looks incredible for 300k miles too! Look forward to seeing what you do with the car.
Hi Joel. definitely shows as 1 previous keeper, (that's based on the current details) so you will be the 3rd owner of this car. V5 issue dates 16-10-2004, 29-06-2010 & 17-10-2011 - info taken from carbaba who do a free basic check for you
Ahh I’m loving the Copart series recently. First the TT and now this beaut! You’re one of few TH-camrs I consistently enjoy watching and it’s these videos that keep me coming back.
Means a lot, glad you’re enjoying the content, thanks so much!
I would love to see you restore this car, what a great project. The highest mileage ever recorded was achieved in a Volvo P1800. Irv Gordon clocked up 3.2 million miles would you believe.
What a legend. And the car would go on forever
What a bargain love the Volvo XC90 it sounds like the sounds like a fuse has gone as the entertainment system is blank we all look forward to see more videos with this car with you the wife what she thinks way it drives as well ?
Maybe do a John o groats to lands end and compare it to the last one you did to see how efficient it is considering the mileage
Great idea!
Those lights with some wet and dry and a machine polish then to protect them stick a coat of lacquer over them, then will look as good as new.
Rogue indicator on the front left wing? The right one is on the door!
The Euro3 D5/2.4D engine is virtually bullet proof if well maintained.
really like these and always wanted one just couldn't understand why they didn't put a bigger engine in it than there saloons, won't be pulling much with that surely for the size of it you'd of thought! om606 conversions welcomed !
As well as various versions of the D5 engine, they did a 2.9 T6 (with terrible gearbox), a 3.2 I6 and a 4.4 V8.
I've had the Euro 4 D5 (185bhp) and now have the V8 :)
@@alzdeane think the V8 be only option for poke, good choice!!!
Holy "moly"...... get that thing cut off
Hi Joel, you mentioned an issue with the battery, these had a habit of blowing fuses if you charged them - check your manual for the fuse/relay for the infotainment system and check it hasn't let go!
Thinking the same.
I did already check the fuses and found nothing, but I’ve ordered a new set and will replace them all to see if it makes a difference!
The ABS light is probably a wheel sensor, which is very simple to change. The first switch with the light sign on it is a disable for the internal alarm sensor, so you can lock the car and only have the external triggers set, if you have a dog in the car for instance.
Thanks for the info!
Show me a old VOLVO that doesn’t have the ABS light on…
Most likely the steering angle sensor or the abs ring , pretty standard for the anti skid light to be on
Welcome to the Volvo youtube clan 😂 you now can't leave!
I do admire your optimism but, I couldn’t live with the level of work required to put this right! Cheap indeed but, it needs a re spray, much work inside and out and none of it will be cheap!
Looking forward to seeing what you do with it. (shame you didn't go for the V8 version though).
I’d love the v8 petrol, but definitely wouldn’t of got one of those for under £1k!
Great motor. Had one when the kids were small, safe not fast 👍
Never really heard a bad thing about them…
Devils Juice acid based wheel cleaner might get those wheel stains out, I've had tremendous results with the stuff
Thanks, might give that a go!
Joel, you need to take this on a road trip of your own, it seems like with 300 000 , the previous owner(s) have gone on their own many adventures. - you were correct in your intro about it definitely having its own story.
@@CathodeRayNipplezwhat an optimistic soul you are. Not.
Fibre optic cables are not that expensive for this and there's repair kits for them not expensive as you would think they be
I am so glad you got the XC90, such good memories with these tanks! ❤🔥
12,6V is still not good enough. Fully charged battery is about 13.2V.
Please drop the cheesy promo ads for stuff.
Good to watch otherwise.
Cheesy or not, they pay my bills :)
But they don't do they. Carly didn't sponsor the upload, if they had. They would have paid for the volvo 😂😂😂
Great purchase Joel love the volvo
Not sure if the Volvo systems are similar but I’ve got a fibre optic system in my BMW. If you unplug various components you can see the light flashing in the plugs. No light means there’s an issue further down the line. A decent wiring diagram is needed too.
Thats class! I had a 2001 S80 Executive with the T6 twin turbo straight 6 lump, had a fridge, dvd player & ps1 in the back and was 4 seater only, loved that car!
Hi Joel, I had an 04 D5 SE 10 years ago, but I was lucky enough not to have any of the usual problems (non working hifi and memory seats that have a mind of their own...). The hifi system is great when it works, can take 6 CDs, the heated seats are fantastic in the winter (setting one is HOT and the second one sets your arse on fire lol). You may find if you get the fibre optic working that there will be many issues that come up on the dash - the rear parking sensors like to work when they feel like it but enjoy, it's a great engine with a great snarl when you floor it but it's not fast and watch out when exiting junctions, it needs a bit of time to spool the torque converter up!
Joel is Copart drunk! Although it should make for some good content! 😅 🤙🏻
Welcome to the high mileage XC90 club! 😎🤝🏻
Thank you!
I have one of these, they're great, but complex so be prepared to spend some money
Hi Joel. Great content as always. Just wondered how you ended up taxing it in the end without the v5 and wrong ref no. Some people say you can goto the post office with a v62 and they will tax it there and then but only if its been in the trade
you can just do it at the post office with a form.
The next thing you should do is scrap it
Will be eventually getting one of these to replace our 2010 c4 g picasso which I won’t be sad to see gone , looking forward to seeing more videos on this !
Exactly what we need as a family an xc90. Prices on auto trader are healthy for these at the moment tho ! 😂
Great car , age and wear and tear related signs , try not to
Go down the path of the jag but keep it and enjoy mate
Rarely watch other long videos all the way through but do every time on yours! 👏👏
Great video Joel, keep it coming, love to see you bring the XC90 back to life.
More to come!
@@itsjoel How's the MOT prep coming along? It's due in a couple weeks...
Have you checked the fuses for the radio it might all be on one the screen and radio
Loving the videos
Thanks!
Hello, the ABS light od the wheel sensor or the tone ring. Check the faults and you'll know. I've bought a 06 XC90, executive, but with the mighty V8. It's still being restored (oil leaks and general maintance). Does yours have the accoustic glass? Cheers from Poland.
A lot of car for the money the condition of the seats including the driver's, is most impressive. The decission now is do you spend money on it to improve it or just adopt the "bangernomics principle" and run as it is!
So. I’ve was a test engineer at Volvo cars and worked a tone with these cars. Your instrument cluster get its data via CAN. Not the via optic (MOST). The radio display, ICM users both MOST and CAN. So I would start by verifying that you have 12v to that. If not, you would get this errors.
When’s the MOT due?
Do you get a spare tyre?
Is it a wing mirror? Or actually a door mirror?
I have one and it's a money pit problems are never ending and very expensive to fix ,at least you got the engine without the swirl flaps ,theres always some fault code to annoy you good luck with it anyway
I used to have an xc90 until a few months back in the same colour. Loved the seats, extremely comfortable ride. The d5 felt stressed and the box isn't great. Absolute pig to park. Great value for money though for families.
Now you must take it on a road trip down the entire east coast of the United States
I think you’ll find the button you didn’t know about is to disable the alarm when you are on a ferry so the vibration doesn’t keep triggering it.
Or to switch the internal sensors off when locking the car with a dog or child in (yes, I know: not on hot day. Obviously🙄)
Couldn’t think of anything worse, an absolute wreck. At that mileage pretty much everything will be worn out and need replacing that is for sure. Wouldn’t like to get it through an MOT. There is a reason these are cheap, and that’s due to the high running and servicing costs which you’ll soon find out.
Agreed but with the right sponsorship and TH-cam money, Joel will absolutely make it work. 👍
Even though I really want a Discovery 3 i've been thinking about buying one of these for a while. The XC90 might not have the things that make a Range Rover/Land Rover so good to drive especially off road but its those same things a Range Rover/Land Rover has that will make you consider suicide a day after it bankrupts you and a week after it leaves you stranded.....😪
These are good cars, as are all Volvos of that era. The 2.4D engine is tremendous. I expect it will have had a gearbox or gearbox rebuild by now. I ran a manual version 6 years ago and it was quite something.
Can’t believe the quality of the leather in this car! I’d love to have a bit of spare cash to have a punt on a car like this. Looking forward to seeing the detail video 👍👍👍
Thanks!
The info system as you said runs off and optical system. I recommend buying an optical bypass and disconnect each module one at a time and plug the bypass in until you see it power up. My v50 had the same issue and it turned out to be the iPod module had corrosion on the pins. Otherwise cracking car plenty of life in it once the few bits are sorted. I am a massive Volvo fan and have had many some love them and some hate them but all the issues these cars are common problems and are shared. Looking forward to more content.
Thanks for the tip, I've checked all the fuses etc and have inspected the optical connections for red lights, but like you've suggested i've ordered an optical bypass. When I plug in the optical bypass and something powers up, does that mean that it is not the system causing the issue?
@@itsjoel you need to check all the modules one by one to the point where the red optical light does not shine back out of the module which breaks the link. The bypass allows the optical light to continue on to the next module. You could have a burned out module but you need to find the diagram on Google showing where all the modules are. I have some for the v50 as an example if you wish me to share by email.
I hope this is better than the XC70 D5 I had a few years ago, there's a module for everything! also the Haldex isn't the best.. hope it goes well on a plus, the D5 for a diesel sounds great!
I think you should get the audio working - Volvo factory systems are absolutely cracking. I think there are more modules in the boot (under the side windows) and they can get damp. Usual procedure is to remove them from the loop one at a time.
Go on car vertical you'll get everything you need to know then mots mileage lol
Great video always liked these, and good purchase. 👍👍👍👍
You paid £847, which is about £600 more than what the car is worth and I can 100% guarantee you within two years, it will cost you more than what the car will ever ever going to be worth and it will be scrapped. Come back in two years and do a video on it and let at least me know and the rest of the world, how the car is getting on, because that will cost you a bloody fortune to keep on the road.
when i watched your copart video and saw this xc90 i was so tempted to bit on it myself, i couldn't find it though, its a good thing i didn't find it though because now you have it! good luck on your XC90 journey joel, would love to see a road trip or two in this car!
The stuff on the wheels looks like embedded brake dust, which should come off with cleaner and fallout remover?....however, it could also be corrosion looking at the condition of them.
Brilliant video as ever though Joel :)
The button you said was Homelink is used to turn off the internal alarm sensors (if you need to lock the car with a dog in it for example).
This car most likely had more than 1 owner as the last V5 was issued in 2011 so could have been why there was an issue originally trying to tax it etc
Love your usual enthusiasm Joel, very decent motor when new, looking forward to the next one 😏👍
Thanks 👍
Great fun watching Joel 😊love the Volvo 😊how’s the jag doing .?
Why didn't the guys from Topas machine polish the lights? Wouldn't have taken them long at all
308k thats some build quality in fairness 🙂👍
I'd bet those carpets were originally black and have faded to green. Same thing happened in my Saab
Thought you would have motor trade insurance
This car in my country will cost 5000eur, minimum (Montenegro)😅
Once you fix it it could easily do another 300,000. I only buy used Volvos and drive them a ton of mileage so I know a lot about them but everything must be fixed up to spec for it to happen
Another issue is Volvo parts are very expensive and at the mileage that your car has it needs a new timing belt
Replace the motor filter you get better gas mileage Volvo recommends putting 93
Also replace the hoses because at high mileage they become very fragile
Pretty sure the wheels are in that state due to the pads running low and the wheels being sprayed with hot metallic dust... the metallic dust embeds in the paint and then rusts...
Joel this looks like another money pit of a project. I’m in.
had one of these for 8 years.. yes theyre a bit on the agricultural side.. but a workhorse.. awesome
So it needs the Timing belt done again now then
Ill change my guess to £847😁
I had the same issue it was a board in the boot that had burnt out, it also cause the battery to drain over a 10 hr period.
Any advice already have squillls from front right tire
Bugger me I'm good...£47 quid out.
No cheating either.
Great guess
This makes me happy, you are living MY dream too
Already love this car & and this video and I’m less than 5 mins in.
More XC90 Content please! I've been wanting one for ages but have not pulled the trigger as yet. Finding reviews of old cars in modern videos is impossible so really appreciate it mate.
More to come!
Just check the fuses first for radio etc
Great vid Joel very enjoyable 👍👍 well done on the new car. Fan of these.
Take it to Sweden to the Volvo museum
Congrats on living the dream! :)
My dreams mainly consist of Ferrari Enzo’s and closed test tracks, but I’ll take it :)
Bargain. These cars are still holding strong money.
Good luck with it! Lovely car you've got there what a bargain, fix that rooflining somehow though!
Worth a punt at that price. I see the MOT is due in 2 weeks! SO first, I would go for a long drive and get something out of it. Then get the MOT done and see what it tells you. All being well, if you think you are going to keep it, try and find out when the cambelt was last done, and if you cant find out, or it is overdue, get it done. Or... you could just wing it. It is a lot of car, but like other cars of this age, if you spend money on it, you probably won't get it back. So have a bit of fun, then sell it on.... because I am sure you would get more than your money back.. . if it passes the MOT.... and even if it doesn't get your drive in now first, then absolute worst case, if it did fail the MOT, you can sell it for almost breakeven...
300k on a D5 isn’t anything to worry about. Look at autoalex’s volvo S80 D5 that’s got just under 750k miles
Actually his is the Audi diesel. I’m happy with my D5 at 210k.
@@dougedwardsyachts I actually came very close myself to buying a polestar chipped second generation Volvo s80 and that thing had over quarter of a million and it didn’t worry me at all
This shape of XC90 was my dream car for years. During the Beast from the East snow storms a few years ago, I decided to buy an old one as I never wanted to get caught in the snow again. Anyway, it was old, abused, the alternator didn’t work properly, but what an amazing big boat of a car!
Absolute bargain! I like it
Ancillary belt and tensioner: get these done. If this belt goes, it could hit the timing belt and really ruin your day and your wallet. Ask me how I know...
16:58- You've got a leak. Looks quite thin/watery but too far back to be coolant or screenwash, and looks too far off centre to be transmission. Hopefully not brake fluid or diesel.
