My daughter wants to sell her 110,000 mile 54 reg XC90 T6, which runs on LPG, in order to have a Motability car instead, but has two faults on the XC90 that are proving hard to shift:

1. "Skid control needs service". This warning comes up in the bottom left corner of the dash all too often. The car has only done 15,000 miles in the 3.5 years she has had it, so is this a Volvo Main Dealer Moneyspinner, or is there something more sinister, and how do we fix it please?

2. Engine Management light permanently on - I have read the fault codes and there is only one: P2195 $0170, O2 sensor signal biased/stuck lean Bank 1 Sensor 1. What exactly do we need to do to fix this please? We have tried changing the O2 sensor in the exhaust manifold and nearest to the engine, made no difference apart from a hole in her purse.

I have this problem as well,my main dealer has quoted 500 euros for a new sensor alone before labour.I am hoping to take it to a local garage who has just fixed my girlfriends passat for less than half the money the main dealer was looking for.I will report back.It basically means the vehicle will stay in 2 wheel drive and won't operate some of the anti skid kit

Don't remember. Mid 30s at a guess. All the faults (there have been so many) have turned her right off the car.
