  • Questions about my new Volvo S60

    Hello, I’m new here and I’m looking forward to calling myself the owner of a Volvo S60 Summum D3 MY 2012 (163 Ps) with Geartronic. It’s my first “high-quality” car, as I haven’t had any luck so far. Unfortunately, I’ve read a lot of negative things about Geartronic, such as hard switching operations that were clearly noticeable, idling fluctuations, power loss,…sometimes even older cars before 2010. Is Geartronic still so vulnerable or has someone problems with it and should I use it again? d a new software update or is there a new one from 2017? Is a transmission flush recommended ? The car has now almost 120,000km on it and I would like to have a long time fun with it. Unfortunately, there are many shared opinions to read like e.g. these only to make, if you have problems or that can occur after a flushing problems. I would like to let the car chip. What about the additional extra power can Geartronic,Motor,Drivetrain the probl Is there something on this engine or in general on this model that I should check? Is there a list of what is done at the next service or the 150,000 inspection? Is there still a warranty on something from Volvo (e.g. gearbox, rusting,…) and would you recommend that you continue to go to Volvo or have it done in a free workshop? Are there many questions but I would like to give as much as possible? Thank you very much for your answers.

  • annoying noise from the engine. ASSISTANCE…!

    Hello, I, resp. my workshop has been fighting for a few weeks with a more than annoying noise, which gives my moose of itself. Briefly to the description: Noise I would call “rashing – scratching – ringing”. Only occurs when the vehicle is slow, constant acceleration. Starts at 1,700 rpm and ends suddenly at 2,000 rpm. Noise comes from the area right, front (seen in driving direction). When the vehicle stops and the engine is running, the noise is in no way The funny thing is that the noise is not always heard. It is not dependent on the outside temperature, nor on the engine temperature. Oil consumption/loss zero. Engine power unlimited. My workshop said that this is a vibration from the dashboard and has worked the area inside around the glove compartment with insulation material. Of course, it did not provide any remedy. I personally I suspect that it comes from one of the turbochargers (preferably from the small one). For this, m.M.n. would be quite spechen. However, my workshop does not share this opinion. I’m quite desperate, because my moose is not so much fun for me. :-)( What do you mean??? Thank you! LG, Nordisk.

  • A Volvo with three children?

    Hello, I’m still new to the forum In the summer a new service car is due. I finally wanted to have my first Volvo. Now we are lucky that we still get twins to our 3.5-year-olds in the summer. The trunks at Volvo are big enough, but what does it look like with 3 child seats in the back when the twins grow out of the baby shells. According to the Autobild-Test of 2007 had to enter the V70 three, tried it and failed. the test a V70 II? The only thing that would be possible would be to have the seat heighter of Volvo, which has no side cushions in the fuselage area, in the middle place. But I don’t think it is safe in case of a side impact. My dealer then logically recommended the XC 90, where the middle seat is 6 cm wider, so three child seats would have to fit well. But I find this car inappropriate because of its consumption (although a T5 consumes the same amount). And in the SUV drawer ic The car will either be used by my wife or me with the children, or I will be on duty on my own. On weekends, drive an hour to visit or shop and two three times a year a long trip to the north. I can still rely on a T4 with 4 three-point belts, which is not quite enough for the five of us (I think the pelvic belt is unacceptable). It is important to me consumption and safety (Volvo!!). Do I compare a touran from the square-angbot to the XC90?? My dream would be to place the family in a V/XC70, and to place the T4 through a multivan. Thank you already in advance for your efforts.

  • El. Height adjustment at the rear of the driving seat is no longer possible

    A friendly hello to all the screwdrivers. I just got my Omega a week and already the first problem ( great).. Since the seats are electric and the height adjustment at the rear is not possible at the driving seat I wanted to ask if it is possible to do this manually. Height adjustment at the front goes perfectly. I could pull up a hat and still have room to the ceiling. Since I do not necessarily want to buy a new seat it would be great if you bring the also manually back up I am grateful for every suggestion. Have a nice weekend to everyone.

  • R25 transmission in Omega B 3.0l MV6

    Hello, have a question to the experts! I used the forum search, but found nothing suitable. Would like to know if the R25 manual transmission from the 2.5L Omega B, fits in a 3L MV6 (automatic) or if only the R28 manual transmission comes into question. I still have a R25 in the garage, would be really good if I could take that! Thanks in advance

  • XC90 Gasoline 3.2 ltr.

    Hello, I am active in the forum for the first time today. I am about to make a purchase decision for an XC90. Until yesterday I was aware of which I will take. A diesel in executive with additional cornering light, parking aid, speed-dependent servo, sliding roof, telephone fixture, wooden steering wheel, camulus rims in electric silver with anthracite/chestnut brown interior. I have the following doubts: I would like to have a white XC90, silver just because there is no executive in white. But the operating costs speak clearly for the diesel. Pain. My latest idea is to take a gasoline engine, 3.2 liters (the V8 falls out of the frame at a price) with a gas system, if necessary as a summum, as available in white and possibly because of the additional price “petrol plus gas system” on the dynaudio system and the navigation. Who has already driven the 3.2 and what opinion do you have about the engine? Who already has a 3.2 a uf Gas is converted and is the conversion also done by a Volvo dealer? Do you get the Volvo warranty and is Volvo per possible? What do you think of my thinking? Greetings from Peter, who is torn back and forth and actually wanted to order the diesel tomorrow.

  • XC 70 now front drive

    My XC70 is now a front-wheeler. I noticed it when I was stuck in a meadow. The dealer wants to exchange parts for a few K€ and that after 32 months running without guarantee. What can be the reason for it. I have no confidence in the screwdriver since I told him that my next car will no longer be a Volvo. (Which Fa. is so stupid, your car either with PRF and old engine and automatic or new engine without automatic, for this offer with RPF) G ruffle from xc70-er

  • XC90 Sport with pictures – again Volvo

    Hello together, since the weather has no view, there are now the first photos without the appropriate sunshine. After the tip of gseum the good piece will be equipped with a Parrot 3500 for the mobile connection. Otherwise I was on the road for the test ride this weekend, and am satisfied with the good piece. What’s right is the clear sitting position. What’s crap is the PDC sensors at the back – they make shpn in a little rain Long-term pips – that’s annoying. So here are the pictures 1.

  • Error codes – can you get that?

    Hello, my heater has said goodbye almost at the same time as its activation (details here). I don’t want to change any parts blind, but I don’t want to pay 300 EUR either – especially since the problem could occur again next winter. Then I at least know how it works. Now I found the article on the diagnostic information in the Elchwiki and in my lightness the question arises whether the BC except “DTCS in Vehicle” (which he does) and “CCM CHECKING” (shows him for a very long time – what does the BC so long??) also indicate something usable? Or does one come differently to the error codes, but without owning an entire workshop or straining the overly, because after all he deserves nothing at the not commissioned work. Finally still the question: Does the error code tell me then only “SH defective” (Ach ne…) or “SH: component XYZ defective”, so that one would buy at the corresponding spare part and then the repair done itself. Many greetings, rawaho
