  • XC 60 BJ 09/2011 – Connection to iPhone simply can’t!!!!

    Hi guys, we’ve been one of the proud owners of an XC60 since today. But the joy has already gotten a little crack. We just don’t get our iPhones (3G) connected to the hands-free system. Does anyone know how to bring them together?

  • Also…

    …ordered. XC60 2.4 D3 Summum AW, Family Pack, Volvo On Call, Security Pack, Xenium Pack + Premium Sound, Driver Support Pack, Driving Dynamics Pack, Home Link, Stand Heating, Real Wood Design incl. steering wheel, glareable rear mirror with compass, electrically foldable headrests rear, DAB preparation, headphone outputs rear, subwoofer, TV digital, multimedia system for the rear bench, winter tires 17”, trailer clutch, camera front l/r, protective carpet for the dog in the trunk. Color: bronze outside, beige/brown two-tone inside. Tuning Rica with soft loader. Delivery time 2 months. Cost 80k CHF smooth, payment when picking up. Apparently, Volvo dealers even have a certain shot premium if you were to make a leasing or similar, i.e. it felt quite unpleasant to ask if you would get a discount on cash payment. But compared to the list price (96870 CHF), I found the discount acceptable.

  • Different prices for inspection

    Dear Mitelche, I’m mad. I called three different Volvo dealers on Friday and asked what the 40,000 for my V70 D5 costs. The first one demands € 353,-. My (former) favorite dealer in Neuss wanted “just € 450,-” and the hammer: The Düsseldorf branch of the same dealer takes € 50,- less. The included performance was the same, free replacement car included with all. However, on my question, which explains these price differences, the surveyed service managers thought there would be different hourly rates at the individual dealers. Why the hourly rate in Neuss should be considerably more expensive than in Mönchengladbach or even in Düsseldorf, nobody could tell me. I can only advise everyone to handle it as I will in future: Before each inspection I call three to four dealers in the area, and the cheapest one wins. As a result I have just saved almost € 100,- it was similar with my wife’s Renault Espace. By previous price comparison, I can’t understand the price for a lot.

  • V70 driver tests XC90

    Moin together, for the second time I had the opportunity to test an XC90 D5 while I had my V70 D5 in the inspection – all with Geartronic. But unlike the first time (last summer) it was the new model year, and he had only 400 km (instead of approx. 5000) on the Tacho. Besides, I had much more time because I could keep it until the next day. My findings: Conclusion: I love my V70, but the XC90 really pleased me. 1 year and 9.5 months still, then my leasing runs out – I already had the XC90 firmly in my sights… By the way, I also had my OHL drive: Was very pleased… “Approved”, it was said… Greetings Frank

  • V70 2.4 140 PS Questions??

    Since I am supposed to switch from the D5 to the 2.4 gasoline with 140 hp due to the car policy of my company, my question to drivers among you with the same vehicle: – what is the experience with the automatic? -What is the experience on the highway in terms of speed range 160-170? -What does the moose take on average? Joe (who hates to exchange his D5 into the alternative Mondeo full equipment)

  • I did it…

    oh , oh , inwardly the bad conscience blooms with me…… Yesterday I became unfaithful to my elk and ordered a new car. after a lot of things it became a S80 Black D5 edition as a switch. Since it becomes a company car and already leads the basic model to the payment, the remaining equipment is manageable: level, rain sensor, laminated glass. Upholstery Savannabeige, outside black uni (one of the ugliest colors, but extra charge free…) well he has no Russ filter, but with 4% total load my bad conscience is kept within limits. well, let’s wait there what comes and how he does his thing. Through some reports here about errors, which I don’t know with a 2001 S60, I am already unsure. This was one of the last free S80be nationwide. now there is still in the order association 2 S80 BE…. (model year 2005) oh yes, someone is looking for a practically slap-free very well preserved S60D5 premium with 170,000km (yes, in 4km) Jürgen, etc.

  • Phaeton as a future classic – Who will pick it up?

    Hello. Some points have given me to think about a “remove” of the Phaeton: 1. Only small quantities were built. Also in the future there will probably be no mass production. 2. It is an extraordinary vehicle. The car is built by hand. In it there are hardly any parts of the “VW-Stang”. Each vehicle is actually a unique one. I think at the Phaeton II it will no longer exist. 3. The prices for used Phaetons are in the basement. A sale actually makes no sense economically. On the other hand, only the very high spare parts prices and the compulsion to order them at VW. What do you think? does the car have the potential to become a classic at all?

  • Intermediate balance

    After a good half year and about 9000km my personal balance with the P.: Is an absolute glider and the seats are so far the best I ever owned. 😉 Optically I am always happy again at the design inside as well as outside. Quality is really top class. But, until now I had the following problems/defects. Injectors, turbo, exhaust sensor, tail flap cable harness, tyre pressure control system no longer works and now the wiper motor is in the A…. Except for the whole problem, I hope slowly is finished with it, a great car. I am spanning which “wehwehchen” still coming up to me and thank me here for the very nice forum.

  • Maintenance costs V 6 cylinder TDI

    Good morning, no new topic, but I would have liked to have your assessment of the maintenance offer of a friend in Berlin. My 6 cylinder diesel (year of construction 2011, world car, currently 59,000 km) I brought yesterday to VW for the 60000 km maintenance. It is important that the V6 TDI with 48000 km was checked and overhauled in the GFD (brake disks, tires etc. new). In October the Phaeton was at the TÜV, the VW dealer has done the TÜV acceptance at our purchase. After 10000 km is now the 60000r maintenance. Additional works are all filter replacements (oil, air, petrol and fuel filters). The VW man has said something with the setting of the xenon headlighter (has been checked before the TÚV?). In addition, the longlife oil. Brake fluid, disc washing liquid ( “do the self?”, wiper sheets etc. do not have to be changed. The car is in a top condition (says the receiving service technician) The only inspection costs amount to the forum.

  • How do I get to the comfort battery?

    Hello everyone, I would like to install a Battery Refresher on my comfort battery, test by test. Now I ask myself, however, how can I get there. I have already removed the disguise but there is just above the fuse box. I can’t get to the poles at all… Does someone have a tip for me without I break something. Gruss capdoc
