Hello! I have a Volvo V70 III 3.0 T6 Geartronic AWD Bauj. 2010 in the R-design version with a sports suspension and level control installed by the factory (so everything original, nothing subsequently installed). The car (at first approved in Switzerland) has officially also installed the Heico tuning, but not the Heico sports suspension. It is a bit deeper and harder, but still relatively comfortable to drive (for me sounds like a combination of harder suspension springs and standard dampers. ) Now one of the suspension springs is broken at the VA and of course two should be renewed in a Volvo workshop for good money. Date was fixed for weeks and then Volvo-Sweden suddenly and unannounced in the delivery no suspension springs included. At the moment no suspension springs should be available, it was then in the Volvo workshop and it is questionable when and whether they will be available at all, because they were installed too rarely, namely on a Car model like my one with the heavy 3L-6 cylinder engine and Automatic and AWD. Sure, 2010 is already countless generations back, here still to expect spare parts, is already naughty by a Volvo customer. In the Volvo workshop they also gave me no part number, but wanted to become active themselves, which search and report to me. When then nothing else happened, I waited and waited, and they gave me between the lines clearly to understand that I did not want to f Avorized customers belong, so you don’t have to hurry, I am to an alternative car workshop and have now had the suspension springs and dampers renewed at the VA. Operation succeeded, but patient is now not to be recognized. The car looks now almost like high-bumped or like an XC70, while it is significantly lower at the rear. After my complaint one regrets this, but for safety I should now be original. Volvo springs for the car besor The car mechanic said that he saw before the installation that the new suspension springs were properly longer (5cm?) than the original ones, because the other coils had, he thought, they were still sitting down … Hmm …. And now I am standing where I was already standing before, namely in the rain. In the alternative workshop, I was given a Volvo part number 31255519 and said that I would be able to replace them for free and I would also get the money back for the wrong springs. would be the right one and I should get it. But here I have my doubts, was the R-design sports suspension considered this time?. I have now taken the remaining intact other suspension spring out of the workshop, photographed it and measured it, because unfortunately there is nothing written on it. 38,5 cm total length, 14.7 cm outer diameter, spring thickness 13.5 mm, 5 turns plus a 1/2 turn at the beginning and at the end. On the last big turn 3 large marking points are too Is this the suspension spring: 31255519 or rather not? And if not, what is the name of this spring so that I can try to order it somewhere. As I said, Volvo should not deliver any more, but maybe someone still has such suspension springs or knows which springs could fit in the car accessories? Somehow I tend to Eibach 30mm sports suspension springs, wants to but be sure to buy the right ones now … or are there any such suspension springs needed somewhere? It should be right for you … And: who is the manufacturer of the original Volvo suspension springs? They don’t do them themselves? Robin

Good morning, I hope it’s okay if I start a new topic for it. I have been driving an XC70 since October, which has Keyless Go. Unfortunately, the everyday opening and closing is increasingly a challenge. I press the key, nothing happens. I press the button at the door, nothing happens. Sometimes it works out on the first attempt. Sometimes I pull the door handle, it opens. Sometimes I do the exact same thing, the door opens, but the Alar And often when trying to start the ignition/engine, he says “keys are not recognized”. I changed the batteries in both keys for new ones. An improvement didn’t bring that. In the end, it’s really annoying, because I can’t just get up and do it. The car is standing there like new, has no problems or any signs of wear or tear…but this topic is starting to make me really desperate. Does anyone have the same experience? What can you do with the achen or helps only the exchange of keys? Thank you in advance.
