Hello, my V50 has to go back to the workshop for a longer time. In short, according to VCG’s official statement, there is no free replacement car, although it is a warranty repair that takes at least one day. Reason: It is an EU import vehicle. I could not tell if Volvo Netherlands would pay the car, nor if there is a general regulation. VCG pushes the thing to the friendly ones. It is up to him to provide me with a car in a friendly way. Of course, he refuses. That’s what I call absolute customer displeasure. Let all inspections in Germany do, nevertheless nobody feels responsible. I don’t even want to think about what happens when you have to use the “mobility guarantee”. “Our goal is to be the number one worldwide in terms of customer satisfaction.” After all, you have to spare this embarrassment on the Dutch side Volvo for life – I laugh at it!

Anxiety – engine?
Hello people just an hour ago, when I refueled, I was really warm – so just in front of the holy ones – of course a lot was going on at the tank, so good motor was parked and waited until I woke up at the row – but then the gruesome one. I am at the row – so start the engine – and then came out of the engine room noises as if anything would rub or as if the clutch had not kicked properly and the gang was pushed hard – so immediately motor out and with pulse 180 on a new and see there everything again as at the latch – halloween of my V50 sweet (diesel) or acid (new noises) and that where tomorrow after tirol must be about 500km naja you can only hope – that there will remain no lasting damage to man and machine# achja knows this already from you? mfg ziegenbart

Shock absorbers defective???
Hello all. My V50 2.0D momentum has now almost 60,000 on the clock and for some time now I hear a slight clapping from the front when driving slowly over uneven roads. It is not to be heard on normal ride. Was already with the friendly, looked under. Everything solid, from coupling rods, stabis to underrun protection. Can it be event. that the shock absorbers are already finished or close to it? With my then Astra-F it sounded the same. Especially with cold dampers. After a change of the dampers was calm. Volvo thinks that they have no problems with the dampers, but I don’t trust the club anymore… I can’t make it out about driving behaviour, is still like a board on the road. Does anyone have a similar problem???

Sorry, this meant, unfortunately, with the delivery on Thursday nothing!!!! I didn’t hear correctly and was in the wrong movie?????! Well, he said to it; we discovered at the closer look two little bumps UNDER the protection sheet……… Since all the final inspection in the work was past Now there is nothing else but the whole hood to change. That means, today I order replacement, then deliver immediately to the paintr…… and the new transfer date is then on Friday, so to discover a few calmness, so soon, I would love to the day.

XC60 gear indicator DRIVe
Now the D5 in the MJ2012 has the start/stop automatic and the whole drum around – the displays in the Tacho display, the menu item in the TFT display, the DRIVe switch in the center console. In the operating manual (web version: pages 127/128):As an aid the driver has GSI – (Gear Shift Indicator). This function informs the driver when the insertion of a higher or lower gear is most convenient. For this, an upward or downward arrow is displayed in the lower information display of the combination instrument. Before that there is an image “speed indicator”, which should show the temperature indicator next to the left of the temperature indicator (but shows there a “R”, the highlighted “turn-on arrow” points to this position). (picture see picture). Now I have this gear indicator but not – does someone have it? Or is the only present with the D3 DRIVe, and they have “forgotten” with the D5? (not that I absolutely use it, but it is funny).

Fuel consumption: on-board computer is next to it
Hello together, I made the statement in my XC60 that the specified fuel consumption usually deviates strongly from the calculated consumption. Usually it indicates less, that make the from Volvo certain extra real consumption I consume about 0.5 to 0.8 liters more, than the BC indicates. I find that the deviation is too large here. Everything in the range of +/- 0.2 liters I would still accept, but I don’t need a treasure ice. I once read that the display should be more reliable on long journeys. When I chased a tank filling through the engine recently on one day, I still had 0.8 liters of deviation – the BC showed 9.4 liters, I calculated (and Spritmonitor.de) 10.17 liters. How are your experiences?

Fixed piston on caliper
Hello together! I had for some time a strong grinding noise while braking back right, which I then ran through to a workshop visit. And as I guessed it, the complete change of coverings and discs for front and rear was suggested to me. Cost of a dealer-independent chain (not ATU) total approx. Euro 500,00! Since I have been busy for some time now with the grinding here on this side, I had and have the assumption that at least the grinding is due to a temporarily fixed brake saddle/cob. I also told the “netten” Lord in the assumption, but that was (as to be expected) with a “yes, yes, we check the brake”. Now I have new coverings and discs, which was perhaps also necessary. Alleridngs I do not want to make in short time again because of a temporarily fixed piston the discs and coverings have to change. And since of the “netten” Lord in the workshop is not really to expect help, I turn to you! It is not to be grateful that here again to make the best thing to me as a description of the best time.

Servus, maybe you have a ignite idea!
Hello dear V40 community! My 2.0 T has a problem! So I have already tried the search function but somehow it is somehow different with everything I have found. So now my Prob. description. – when I start it in the morning, I drive a few meters I have a stand gas between 1100 rpm and 1900 rpm. When it is warm I have the Prob. it goes down on about 800 tours and at some point it slams down on 300 rpm but then immediately rattles up on 800 tours. When driving it looks like this…….sometimes he is totally tired……sometimes he goes off like Schmidt’s cat. The Volvohänder where I was at the Insp. said only ” he would have read out the error memory but, which was empty! What I did? I cleaned the idle valve, thrush valve! Now I slowly run out of ideas…..maybe you still have one?

“Sailing” in ECO – operation
Hej, the function “sailing” in the ECO operation I first assessed a bit critically, because I was not used to it and in the last years with the old Volvos simply “invented” my own way of driving sparingly. But if you get used to it, it will be so that you can drive even more economically – because you simply have to drive much more forward-looking. However, I have a topic with the function however. Really practical it is in my opinion mainly on country roads – especially with the speeds announced in the combined instrument – or in Sweden, where already a few hundred meters before the place table is a hint, that soon 50/40kmh – you can take the foot off the gas and sail to the village. Motorway rather less, because you drive there in the best case anyway with Tempomat, with Tempomat there is not this function. But what I noticed on my holiday trip by now – at higher speeds (which I drive as an Austrian only in DE) – so >120kmh I guess – I did not have the same thing at the time “kuppunk” – I did not have the same thing.
