Haynes Manual
The new Haynes Manual for the XC60 & XC90 has just been released for all budding DIY enthusiasts.
It covers models from 2003 - 2013, diesel only. |

Just wondering how one manual can cover two fundamentally different vehicles? Yes they are both made by Volvo and they both have XC in their name but I think that is probably about all they share
That would suggest to me that neither car is covered in the depth or quality that Haynes was famous for in the past and which aligns with the experience I had afte purchasing one for my daughters Renault.

Hopefully there's some useful info in it but I agree, Haynes manuals are it what they used to be, perhaps a reflection of how complex cars are now compared to when I bought my first Haynes manual for my 1959 Moggie Minor!!

I rebuilt my Mini Cooper S in 1974 with a mate and a Haynes Manual. Only car I truly regretted selling.

Goo start
The engine and transmission are basically the same which is a good start

apart from the Haldex being gen2/3 in XC90 and Gen4 in XC60, and then there is 5 speed versus 6 speed gearbox and an engines that have different power outputs I guess they are the same
