I purchased this car 1 year ago and do not have the antitheft code to unlock the radio. Any suggestions??michellesuggs1 - 1998 Volvo S90 - Body & Interior - 5/19/2013-
5/19/2013 JimmIf you don't know the code there are two ways to find out. You can contact Volvo and ask them. You will need the VIN number and ID. The easiest way to do this is go to Volvo.com and fill out a customer contact form (which asks for the VIN and a daytime phone). If you submit the online form, a rep from Volvo will call you within 24 hours.
If you are in a bigger hurry, you can call your local Volvo dealer and ask them to look it up. This usually works but occasionally they will try to charge.
If you are mechanically handy, then you can pull the radio out (carefully, don't pull out the wires) and the code will likely be written on a sticker attached to the back of the radio.

My sunroof will tilt up but wont open, it will make noise like it is engaging but doesnt move.DRAY65 - 1997 Volvo S90 - Body & Interior - 5/8/2013-
5/8/2013 HouseCallAutoElectric sunroofs are delicate pieces of machinery in all cars. there are many moving small parts. It is one of those things that absolutely cannot be diagnosed without hands on inspection and usually partial dis-assembly. I have a Buick regal I am restoring. The first thing I had to fix was the sunroof. Took me 3 hours on and off to discover a small broken plastic piece. Can't buy just this piece. Bought a kit that comes with all these small parts online at some sunroof repair parts place. $130 comes with everything needed to repair it. Did not do it yet.

The windscreen is fogging up and there is a rather pungent smell.. Windscreen is then difficult to clear.kenwood50 - 1998 Volvo S70 - Body & Interior - 2/20/2013Car has done 170.000 miles. The fogging is not water vapour, it's a dry coating that is quite difficult to clean off, rather like a smoky film really. There is no deposit left on the cloth after cleaning the screen. The air-con has not worked for a long time.
