Hello, I have configured my new thickness and am confused…. So far I had the diesel with preheater. The new one is to become the T8 hybrid this time. Ultimate equipment. The configurator says preheater with timer incl. I sent the config to my friend. He says that the T8 hybrid has no preheater and can not be ordered either. I called Volvo Germany today and asked how it is possible to configure a car and display the preheater there as incl. and the friend can not order it for me. The statement was: You have to trust the seller. My question here in the round has someone currently ordered a T8 hybrid and stands on the binding order the preheater on it?

Starting at the 2025 XC90 (before facelift)
With my last XC90 I was used to the vehicle being slightly “rolled” when you were on D and not on the brake. For 2 weeks now I have a new XC90, MJ2025, AAOS – with which it is no longer like that. it seems as if AutoHold is active, although this is not displayed. The car is practically no longer rolling on itself, I always have to actively push the accelerator pedal. that is particularly annoying if you want to “rantasten” something. Does someone know the problem ? is that with the new models so ? I was always used to rolling on the automatic gear if you don’t actively brake – no matter which brand.

Raise the V40 rear
I mounted a trailer coupling on my Volvo V40 about a year ago. My property entrance is relatively high and steep. And the V40 has a relatively long overhang from the rear axle to the rear. That’s how it comes that, when it comes to load or with the trailer, the trailer coupling crashes over the ground in my driveway. I would like to put the car 3 to 4 cm higher in the back. How can it be done the easiest and cheapest way? My idea would be to simply mount an additional rubber ring over the rear axle spring. So of the original simply an additional one. However, I have no idea if this fits. And how does this affect the axle geometry?

Rust trap on V40
Hi people. Actually, I just wanted to remove an ugly rust spot on the fender … After the dismantling of the left wing I saw that was the extent. I also took down the threshold covering. Luckily only the area in front of the door was affected. The right fender is immediately renewed as this also starts to bloom.. Does anyone know if it can do anything to seal the wheelhouse ? The fender is fixed to the bottom with 2 screws. But there is no opening where water or dirt can get out .. What is the big foam wedge. ? Just for sound insulation ? Would thank you for useful information since Friday the new fenders arrive.

Volvo V70 I Sc-802 exchange for radio with bluetooth freeprech
Hi, in my Volvo V70 is still the old SC-802. Navi is permanently installed separately, so I don’t need new. So far I have operated with my old mobile phone with headphones but now I actually have an iphone and therefore want to play a bluetooth hands-free device and also music from iphone. I don’t think the Parrots are so good for this because they loop the sound in. That’s not really great with the music. I had therefore thought to change the radio. Is it right that I don’t need a aperture with a double-din radio like JVC KW-XR811? Is it still right that I don’t need an extra blind with a din radio like Kennwood KDC-BT42U and only have to install the mounting compartment for the 2nd dinschach? Can you get me a radio that is musically clear with Ipod/iphone and that has a BT free-draw system? Would there be an alternative over the switcher connection of the SC-802?

Vehicle with Nivomat hangs lower left
I didn’t find anything in the search function, so new question: My V70 T5 with Nivomat and Volvo sports suspension hangs about 2.5 cm lower on the left and right. This difference remains essentially the same whether loaded or not, i.e. the Nivomat on the left lifts the vehicle higher when driving, but not at the level of the right nivomate. Can you change it with spring exchange (beside) or are there other reasons (rubber bearings, etc.)? Does the influence on the driving behaviour? I may be a little oversensitive, but have a bad feeling when braking in fast motorway curves: the rear seems to push outwards. With rental vehicles I drive from time to time, there is no such impression under the same conditions. Matthias

Only Navi OR Rearview Camera
Hello, last November we decided for the Granflsnd X. When we wanted to order, however, there was just the new price list and conversion. With the new version of the innovation with lower price, but also much lower equipment, we could only choose between Navi OR rear camera. To get both, we now have to order either a business equipment or the Ultimate variant. We can not approve of this price policy. Can anyone say something about this??? Why is that, after all, it is the second most expensive equipment variant!

Workshop prices
In my 9000CSE 2,3t I had the fourth exhaust system installed (180000km). 2.3 hours were charged for this. This was explained with difficult dismantling of the old system (using welding torches). I believe that I was not slower during my do it yourself times. What time would be acceptable? For the renovation of the brake system at the rear (slices and coverings) 2,4h were billed. I imported the car ’98 even from Denmark for 38000DM!!! net (very good equipment, unfortunately no leather). At 140000 I had it turned into a deer tuning (230hp) and now regret that this did not happen earlier. The consumption is pleasantly low despite speedy driving (by 9l), there is no oil consumption. However, I am disturbed by the consumption of brake discs and exhaust systems. As I appreciate advantages such as high performance with moderate consumption, very good space supply and front drive (I live in mountainous surroundings), I will try to keep it at least until the next exhaust.

13.8 l Consumption of pure petrol drive from Opel Grandland X 1.6 Plug-in Hybrid Ultimate 4×4
Hello, since October 2023 I have a Opel Grandland X 1.6 Plug-in Hybrid Ultimate 4×4 from January 2020 which has now driven 21tkm. I do not charge the car constantly with electricity, because I have no charging station at my home. Now I have noticed in the last months that if I drive without electricity (I have extra fuel fillings without charging) , the car has a consumption in the city of 13.8 l. And this high consumption is constant – however I drive only in the city. I do not stand so much in the traffic jam, but also have no long distances – so more like 4 kilometers. What do you say about the consumption? Isn’t it extremely high? What can this be and what should be controlled. Thank you for your knowledge and your answers!
