It seems a bit stupid to start this thread, but I’m still interested in it: I’ve had my S40 T5 (new car) for a week and I haven’t had such trouble driving a car yet. The grinding point of the clutch must be right on the millimeter, otherwise the engine will choke off or the car will run off like Sau (depending on whether too much or too little). The resistance of the pedal is very strong – pushes your foot up. I also noticed that the accelerator will react quite late. Had 3 Nissans before, so you could tap a little bit and the speed went up, the Volvo has to push quite a bit until the engine reacts. But I noticed the same already when testing another T5, but I ignored it. Is that “coupling accuracy” just like that with Volvo or is that something over time? I have to say that my latest car so far was 8 years ago, my last one was 14 when I got it 🙂 So I’m full of newcomers in new cars 🙂 a second “bad” question. How do you do it when you park? I have no idea how long my FZ is, because I don’t see over the hood – what I seem to have quite used to with my Nissans. I always put it backwards to the wall because I have (fortunately) sensors. Does an S40/V50 driver have a tip ??? Gruss $id (again sorry for this thread 🙂 )
