  • S40 “R-Design” ?!

    According to the catalogue, the S40 will be available as “R-Design” from autumn 07: “The R-Design leans on the legendary R-models and includes specially designed 17 inch light alloy rims, body kit, unique R-Design upholstery, steering wheel with aluminum inserts and other great details”. Anybody knows anything about it or even better: Are there any pictures ??? Gruss $id (which probably postpones his wish for a MY08 still a bit…)

  • Volvo V50 2.0D LMM?

    Volvo V50 2.0D problem with accelerating LMM? recently bought me a volvo v50 2.0d and is basically satisfied. only I have a problem: if I accelerate (from approx. 2000/min) he does not take the gas again and so on. the most I notice it from 2000 – 3000/min. the consumption is also approx. 8.0 l. that is too high for me. has someone also this problem and what can I do? I was in the workshop – but they did only a software diagnosis and “naturally” found nothing. with my previous car a golf tdi I had the same problem – because it was the air volume meter (air mass meter – lmm).

  • Volvo leasing rates extremely attracted or fat discounts?

    Just scared me when I configured an XC 60 as a company car on the Volvo side for an acquaintance. The basic price of the car was absolutely ok, but then the leasing rates – omg! Do they turn on the bike? So immediately my 1.5 year old XC 60 is identically configured and compared – total price slightly lower, but the leasing rate almost 30% higher! What’s going on? Or do you have to deduct 25-30% discounts by now?

  • Bronze chips in engine oil at Volvo XC60 ???

    Hello today I picked up my XC60 from the 1st inspection and there I was told by an action page Volvo. In this story the oil filters are kept and left standing for about 48 hours. After this time the filter is opened and looked if there are bronze chips in it. I get a call on Friday. If I have bad luck then my engine will be disassembled to replace something. Now I find this of course quite weak on the part of Volvo. The engine just one year old and already let it disassemble? What would you do?

  • New purchase XC60- Help rims, color, accessories

    Hello to all Volvo drivers, after a very good comparison with other brands, have decided to buy an XC60 in version D5 Summum. However, I have a few questions: 1.When choosing color we are still a bit uncertain. However, something bright (due to easier maintenance). I have now discovered in the net the following picture: a. color1 b. color2 Which colors are these? As an alternative we picked up the Cosmic white. I come from the vicinity of Gera- white possibly someone where you can watch these colors live in the area? 2. Can someone say what the retrofitting (including installation) of the remote control, the installed stand heater, costs? Since I wanted to check if the subsequent installation is possibly cheaper. Since then you could also order the T100HTM Ferservice which is considerably more comfortable than the one offered by Volvo. 3.What do you think of the following wheels for the XC60?

  • Honda Jazz eHEV 2020 Wheels & Rims Fred

    Here, please, everything that revolves around wheels and rims. But only for the said model. My dealer is currently waiting for the “new” rim program and as he meant, this should be ready in August.

  • Question to Crystal White Pearl Effect Driver

    Hello, last week I picked up my T8 in o.a. color. It was a service car from Volvo from Cologne. The dealer (Volvo) confirmed to me a paint repair in the bumper area (back) in the course of the preparation (nothing wild). There is also not to be seen. At the pick-up I also noticed nothing else in the delivery hall. Today (after a few days of rain weather) I see in the left wheel box area: 1. A yellow shimmering area above the wheel bar (coating wings). and. 2. that the entire wheel bar is clearly darker. I hope you can see this on the pictures. If someone has a clue as above all the point 1 could have come about. At point 2 I can only imagine that the bar has been completely changed and here color softens come to wear. However, with the latter I see no reason why the friend should hide this from me. Thank you for your help!

  • Questions about the distance radar

    Hello, I’m a little irritated about the distance radar. In the new Saab 9-5, there is a FullSpeedRange distance radar. It works from 0 KM/h and therefore also in the city, traffic-settled area etc. pp. And also slows down accordingly to 0. (Similar to BMW, which have a stop&go function). What can the Volvo distance radar do? Does it also slow down to 0 or can I use it in the city, according to the motto: 55 km/h desired speed and go?

  • XC70 experts

    Hello everyone and a good new year! I’m now driving my third V70 (from 2007 2.4D Edition Sport) and have been considering for a few weeks whether I could be happy with an XC70. My approximate driving profile is 30 Tkm/year 50% AB dien other half city and country mixed. In my eye I have a young demonstration car D5 model year 2011 Summum/Xenium etc. in saphirblack with 18 inch Merac. The following is especially interesting to me before I try to get a test ride. 1) On what differences in driving behaviour/driving comfort do I have to agree? 2) Is the Four C especially for the XC70 absolute duty to get the higher center of gravity under control? 3) Which driving differences do the “SUV” tyres in particular cause compared to the V70 ? 4) Does someone with the 18/19 inch wheels (Merac, Erakir) drive possibly quite normal summer tyres, so k e i n e special SUV tyres ??? In the Sufu I’m not quite fündig mich sehr fünd mehr möfrei sehr sehr Vorsuch sehr Besuch ich seine ich seine ersteilen, wieder.
