Can xc90 mk2 seats be used in an xc90 mk1

geordi10 · Jan 23rd, 2024, 21:56

Hello, I have a fault with the middle row centre seat, in that the cable release has broken and the seat can't fold. The part (8686168) has proven to be impossible to source.

I'm wondering if a second hand mk2 seat could be used instead of the mk1, as it is cheaper to buy than the second hand mk1 seats.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Sadly if you contact them they will tell you its not in their stock they order it from volvo. Volvo no longer supply that item. I've several experiences of this already. They took the money then said it was unavailable and I had to wait for the refund.

Sorry to hear that

I assume you have tried specialist breakers?

Good Luck

When I had a problem releasing one of the seats (can't remember which ) I found that it wasn't the cable but where it was attached to the release handle/flap. The release lever had a second attachment point which just required a bit of cable rerouting to attach to it and all worked well afterwards. Failing that can you attach an extension to the cable with a finger loop on its end and brought to the outside of the seat so that you can operate it independantly of the release flap? May not look pretty but would allow you to lower the seat back.
