Hello guys, I would like to list here my ups and downs after the first year as moose driver: Volvo V70 D5 Comfort, 163 HP Bj 2004 in March 2012 with 141tkm bought. Since then repairs occured: Right on purchase it was clear that the transverse handlebars and the timing belts need to be renewed. At 145tkm then the first disillusionment: rear Nivo dampers defective, an expensive fun if you don’t have such a car for long… 150tkm: engine runs top, so still a so called chip tuning installed, now according to test stand 211 HP go t like hell 152tkm: in humid weather on the front spring legs, well-known disease, the rubber parts that come between damper and spring renewed, in which breath immediately the spring leg bearings participated, were still in fact, but I know my luck.. and there anyway already apart… 155tkm: In Holland let the edge heating unlock, already at the purchase was clearly that the heater is defective, in Germany then still completely new combustion chamber. was not cheap, but so ́n warm car in the Wi Nter is already the banger 159tkm: hand brake lining solved. New hand brake pads plus discs and pads at the rear, was already obvious when buying that they are not for long. 165tkm (last week): engine in emergency run, message high emission—> AGR valve defective. It is done again the moose. The only problem still pending is a pole left front, but only at temperatures of 3-5 degrees and less. Now not to hear again, already everything checked, but no game fes As you can see, I had to do a lot of things about the moose. On the one hand I have to say that I am a bit disappointed to have buttered so much money and time in the moose after a year, on the other hand I see this realistic, it is not a new car anymore and if you see the car ́s of other manufacturers, it is not necessarily better with them either. In addition, I did this myself anyway, because a good acquaintance has a car workshop. Maybe it will be niger.., we both had to get to know each other really well but apart from the repairs I am still super satisfied and happy with the moose, a car in the class I never had before and always when I think partly bad about it and then ride again in such a funny 4 cylinder diesel of other manufacturers, I am always enthusiastic about how smooth the D5 is. Conclusion: Until now my next car (but only in 4-5 years) will be again a Volvo. Hope you can take from the thread something for your own appreciation of your elk greeting, Henning
