Step 2: Teardown of the headlight First, remove the 4-5 clips (can’t remember how many) that surround the perimeter of the lens. A flat head or needle nose will work fine here. This is the step where a heat gun is optional. You can also set your oven at 225F and bake for 5 minutes…

$120 Factory Big Brake Upgrade S90 | SwedeSpeed

Posted on June 8, 2025 By rehan.rafique No Comments on $120 Factory Big Brake Upgrade S90 | SwedeSpeed
0 Factory Big Brake Upgrade S90 | SwedeSpeed

So far I have been somewhat disappointed in the brakes on my S90. By 20,000 miles the rotors had already warped and the braking performance is overall poor (lots of vibration and brake fade during heavy braking) compared to my wifes Audi A6. I just rolled over 35k miles and my brakes on all four…

Bigger brakes to combat brake fade? General questions about possible solutions; rotors? brake pads?… | SwedeSpeed

0 Factory Big Brake Upgrade S90 | SwedeSpeed

I’ve had some brake fade issues in my V70 T5M following a Corvette down hills with lots of switchbacks. The Shenandoah Mountains are my favorite place to play (safely), because the speeds remain reasonable. Descending on twisty roads is of course hard on brakes; “effective” motor power and acceleration is increased, “effective” mass/momemtum of car…

07 XC90 V8 power steering pump, serp belt replacement, and “unexpected” problems. | SwedeSpeed

So, it was apparent my power steering pump was leaking. The Serpentine belt was throwing chunks of rubber, there was oil dripping down the front and back of the engine. The front side was a greasy black hot mess. The pump was wet around the bottom. I wasn’t sure if it was a simple o-ring…

Center vent temps for XC90 A/C | SwedeSpeed

Posted on June 6, 2025 By rehan.rafique No Comments on Center vent temps for XC90 A/C | SwedeSpeed
0 Factory Big Brake Upgrade S90 | SwedeSpeed

tl;dr – what temps does the center vent blow in your XC90? Does setting your cabin to 69 on a 80+ day keep the cabin cool enough for you? My 2016 XC90 T8 seems to recently have an underperforming AC. I’ve never had issues with it keeping me comfortable set at 69 on a day…

Finished up the front brake conversion to the Mercedes Benz caliper, that was briefly mentioned in a post a couple of months ago, and thought I would share. For safety purposes let me be clear that while I figured out how to do this, I’m not saying it’s in any way properly tested. In the…
