  • Question to V70 drivers

    I am currently driving a BMW e61 525d lci. What bothers me is the maintenance intervals, which always have something to beep at 3otkm a year (inspection, oil, brake front, rear,..), moreover, the insurance is considerably more expensive than Volvo. What does this look like with a V70 from 2007 on with similar driving performance: Are there also many criteria queried in different rhythms or is there still that the only good all 30tkm requires an inspection? What is there about the Zuv Allowability of the diesel incl. electronics/filters/auxiliaries etc.? Does anyone have any experience in comparison with diesel-combis Volvo/Audi/Mercedes/BMW?

  • “You get the 2017 model! ” Delivery delays due to model year XC60 2017?

    Hello together, I ordered my car at the beginning of February, in the KV it was called, delivery KW 15. Now Volvo consoles me on June, how nice. The delay should have to do with the new model year 2017, my car falls already in this new model year. Does any of you know what changes there are for the new model year? Here is the letter from the sale: “The exact delivery date of your new Volvo XC60 is still unknown to me, the delivery delay results from that Volv o has made a production conversion for the new model year 2017. Your car is already running in the 2017 production year, which will have a positive effect on resale.” So. I don’t know exactly what to do with this info…? Lg and thank you!

  • Driver seat cracks so that pedestrians and dogs jump aside

    Help, my driver’s seat cracks! On the way from our main village to the next village, a very curvy road leads up the mountain. When I drive it at maximum possible speed, my driver’s seat cracks. This phenomenon mainly occurs when left and right turns change. Then it cracks in both directions. Now, for the first time, a pedestrian with her dog came to me when I wanted to test the adhesion limits of my tyres again (no, I h When I came around the curve, they and their dog were scared back at the same time, just at the moment when the seat cracked. Now my question: Can it be that the cracking of the seat outside is louder than in the car? Greeting Martin And before the obligatory questions come again: I have neither pictures of the seat, nor of the cracking and certainly not of my neighbor with her dog!

  • Consumption GP3 vs. GP2 Diesel

    Hello, the GP3 is supposed to need 0.5 liters less than the GP2 diesel. I wanted to check that out. I brought my GP2 yesterday to Fellbach to the friendly because of a sounding noise. There, of course, I got a GP3 as a rental car and drove the same route back again. (mainly highway and expressway). My P needed 9.6 liters according to BC of the GP3 only 8.3 ! Sure that was once only 70 km, but I paid attention to very similar conditions (Both cars were warm, height differences of the destinations were irrelevant, traffic conditions and speed are the same…) Now I want to ask in the round whether there is also the experience elsewhere that the newer diesel may have even greater advantages in terms of consumption than from the factory specifications.

  • Climate compressor chuckles like a compressed air hammer…

    Hello together… from the engine room of my V70 (2001, 165Tkm) comes a loud tucker, which can be switched on and off with the “ON – OFF” button of the air conditioner. A week before it was made an air conditioner filling because it has not cooled any more. Has any of you ever experienced such a thing? Did they fill a frog with it? Next week I have appointment for the compressor change… until then I am grateful for every hint… Greetings from Fürth… Gerd

  • Alleged defects in the purchase test

    Unfortunately I have to sell my OMI. An interested person drove with me to a small workshop, the boss set himself the car: 1. Air conditioning: you put the on LOW blows it nicely strong. On HI but very narrow-breasted. Is this really a mistake? I was always satisfied with the temperature control! 2. From below the climate compressor has such a green surface. “It is leaking and soon over” was the comment. 3. The totally new OIL shock absorbers have a completely completely new OMI. “They are leaking and have to be changed.” 4. The “turbo loader resonator” is leaking and the radiator is thus ÖL. That’s right. I know that. But the last workshop meant on my question: “Oh, that’s not so bad, the part costs 100.- and then we change just once it fits”. What do you mean by the points??? By the way: The buyer would pay 4000.-. What do you mean? Omega facelift: BJ 2000 / 147000 km 2,5TD no special equipment, but xenon, seat heating, accident-free, 8 times tired etc.

  • XC60 internal 3G modem upgrade possible?

    Hello together, after Deutsche Telekom has taken out many 3G transmitters since the end of April TuneIn is only limited fun. The 3G cover has become miserable and the modem often loses the connection or can’t log in badly at all. Of course, the whole thing is quite counterproductive for RTTI too! Does anyone know here whether you can replace the installed 3G modem for a 4G? That would be – if it keeps my preferred choice in the price setting. then an LTE stick with external antenna as a Wifi hotspot and the Volvo over it to let into the net. Or could one use the antenna connection of the internal 3G modem? Where can I get the power for the stick then (the USB socket in the center console usually occupied a stick with audio books or music … The suitcase a 12V socket would be a possibility … but then I would have to use a distribution box if necessary, since in summer often a cooling box is connected during excursions … the stick can The other network operators are also switching off 3G … 2021/22 is supposed to be completely switched off … and I will probably not be the only one who didn’t lease his Volvo but bought it … he is now 5 1/2 years old and should stay with me for many more years … I’m not going to be the only one who bought his Volvo …

  • Is that the differential pressure sensor?

    Now I was only just with Zottel because of something else, since following error had occurred once:008194 – Particle Filter Bank 1 P2002 – 002 – Malfunction – Sporadic Since the entry was sporadic, I should ignore it. Completely ok. As it is always so, only 4 days later and the error hardens, and this in combination with this error:001138 – Pressure sensor 1 for exhaust gas (G450) P0472 – 000 – Short circuit after mass – Sporadic This error is now also immediately after the solution This could be a follow-up error?008194 – Particle filter bank 1 P2002 – 002 – malfunction 001137 – pressure sensor 1 for exhaust gas (G450) P0471 – 001 – unplausible signal – warning light ONE I mount the logs sorted and marked by date. What’s your suggestion? First change the differential pressure sensor? Do I get there from above? I had seen an entry by Zottel. At Ross-tech I had to the Feh Do you have a number I have to take?

  • VW Phaeton GP3 V6 3.0TDI transmission or something else?

    Hello my loved ones:-) I need your help again 🙂 I have the following problem with my fat guy:-( It’s about the following: I’ve already noticed twice once at speed 80 km/h about 1500 rpm (mountain high) and at speed 120 km/h that the car lets go for a short time then pulls back on again and then everything is ok again…(Tempomat was off)It feels like when he loses strength for a short time then gets power again like e.g. cruise and turn off while driving or speed up and brake via the buttons 🙁 Thank you very much in advance:-) Mfg Allen

  • Mount wear parts of V6 in 2,2 16?!

    hello, I have the following problem: with my omega b caravan 2,2 16v facelift the front axle is somehow spongy while driving. have a fk winch suspension, 17 inches wheels from the executive with 235 tyres and 1cm track plates installed. now my question: can it be that the carrying joints, track rods cross handlebars… are too weak and makes sense to install these parts of the v6, since these are probably stronger due to the higher weight of the v6?!
