Hello Fellow Road Warriors....
I have a tale to tell, bear with me please.
Recently I purchased a 2003 XC90 T6 SE (2.9) I had looked at several and this beaut appeared to be the cleanest, and at 90 odd thou miles, pretty solid for the year etc.
I have discovered a problem, on short journeys, all is well, however, once properly warmed up, the gearbox/transmission, when under load for example, or when pulling away, works up to Third- AND stays in Third.......
No other issues noted, noises, clunks, nothing like that.... I scrolled through the menu on the indicator stalk this morning and it advised "Transmission Service required"
Can you help with sage advice? Is this a simple oil change? (if so, how do I do this) is there anything else I should do?
Id really appreciate some help on this folks, I love my new XC90, I plan to use it for work, so need a fix for this problem.
