  • Aero or 1.8 with Deer Step1?

    Hello According to Hirsch, the 1.8 with the Chip Step 1 has a torque of 310 Nm, while the untuned Aero has only 300 Nm. Does this mean in practice that the Hirsch-tuned 1.8 has more throughput and more Vmax than the standard Aero (even if the official Vmax data of Hirsch are only 225 and the Aero 230)? Has anyone ever been able to compare the two cars? And what experiences have you had with Step 1? tinkus

  • V70 Extension Selekt Warranty?

    Hello municipality, the topic is already in one or the other form. Since holiday boredom, however, I quickly create a new thread I have just received from Volvo the offer to extend the Volvo Selekt for another year. Here the facts: What to do? I realize that nobody can look into the glass ball and it is ultimately a bet. In the first year I was paid a new power shift transmission by the insurance for 5,500 €. The next inspection will be carried out at the beginning of February in order to give me a picture of the technical condition (my current Volvo workshop is not the seller at the time). In the Ford forums, besides difficulties with the power shift gearbox on this engine, there are some capital damage due to sudden cooling water loss. In this case, I would be glad to have an insurance service. What does the swarm intelligence mean?

  • V70 driveE problems in the snow (DSTC)

    Hello together, I’m on my way in the Bavarian snow masses with our B70 driveE from 2011. at the lowest gradients e.g. railway underpass I hardly get up the “nerg” with the snow smoothing. as soon as I give gas the wheels turn through and Dstc is activated/lamps lit. the gas is then immediately regulated down, so that the car may still progress. with 5 kmh. I am an absolute traffic obstacle, all other cars pass easily.. from Smart to 5er.B W.. what am I doing wrong? deactivate dstc? Driver training? I don’t feel safe, think almost the car is slipping. right back down the mountain…

  • new tyres on which axle

    Hello, at the moment I am somewhat unsure about new tyres on which axle. I always need two new tyres for both the winter and summer seasons. Had the discussion with my tyre dealer on which axle they are mounted several times. There are two statements: 1. Always pull the better tyres on the rear. The rear tyres are responsible for driving stability. This is also recommended by the car manufacturers. So I have so far However, I discovered the following article on the weekend: Quote: 2.-New tyres should always be mounted on the drive axle in the vehicle. As a result, a better traction is achieved when driving, according to the TÜV. If, for example, only two tyres are to be renewed on a car with front drive, because the profile depth is not sufficient anymore, the old tyres should be continued on the rear axle. The new tyres are to be pulled up at the front. Another advantage of this solution is that the the front tires are the most heavily loaded during the braking process. I would be interested in your opinion, or you have other information about it. taptom, who is glad that the car has only two axles

  • What does the C30 sports suspension mean?

    Dear people, I have also asked this question over at the C30-Spezi-Forum, but maybe there are also some knowledgeable people who can help me. I am thinking of buying a C30 D4 or T5 in good used condition, and although I have now looked at ten ads, tested a car (2.0, R-Design) and talked to several dealers, one thing is still creepy: Is there a sports suspension on the C30, namely one of Volvo (not Heico), and which models have one? So far I have received the following somewhat contradictory information: – all suspensions are the same (like politically correct, but is it objective?) – all R-design have a slightly tighter suspension – you could order a sports suspension from Volvo, whether R-design or not – the steering is more direct with the sports suspension (if there is one) than with the normal suspension – the directness of the steering is not influenced by the sports non-sport suspension. ?! In addition: I like s I don’t like sponge-soft. The Volvo sports suspension could be the right one – if there is. And if somehow I can get out reliably from mobile.de displays, which vehicle has one. Can you help me on the jumps?

  • Winter tire “buying drama” S60 R

    good day together, I’m starting to really doubt the competence of the tyre dealers. I just want to have a set of winter tires for my S60 R. meanwhile I was at three different dealers and although I say what kind of car I have and the sellers look up, everyone recommends something different to me. the first wanted to sell me 205/55 R16, the next told me then at once steel rim goes on no case “from 190 kW only alloying”. then I was today b in the third, though totally unfriendly but again with new infos. now it says all at once I have to drive at least 225/45 R17 ! now I am slowly confused and would need your help what I can drive now ?! in the manual is only what of 205/55 R16 and in the new vehicle ticket is only a mature size … would be really nice if someone could help me quickly ! many thanks in advance greeting Till

  • V70 – Wheel bearing and now also the crossbars …

    had reported that with my V70 D5 (03.06 used bought BJ 05.03 with 120k, now 140k run) the wheel bearing VL is defective and is now changed. As part of the Kulanz (12 mon. used car guarantee) the friendly offered me that I had to carry “only” 40% of the spare parts costs. I have to do the 140k inspection directly with me. Now I got a call that the cross handlebars are also defective and have to be changed. Additional costs: approx. 350 EUR and in the case NO Warranty or Kulanz Well … I drove the car now for a good half year, 20k and now already repairs in the amount of total (incl. inspection) 800 – 900 EUR … starts well As a rental car I have run nen niegel new XC70 (~2500 km) and how to expect it differently … disc at the back left does not close properly = it pulls and whistles, flaps at the front left = it annoys, FB from the Navi does not work … so you know Volvo !

  • New V70 from when in D.? (no design fred!)

    Good day, I wanted to know the many speculations gathered, _when_ because the new V70 will actually be available in this country. If it is presented in Detroit 2007, that doesn’t mean that it is already available in D. in 2007: ams in Sverige means: “Det är nästa generation Volvo V70, som kommer 2008.” But maybe someone already has insider knowledge. Background of my demand: It’s a good idea for me to make a small provision this year. and I would bite into the Ar*** if I had to dissolve the then 2008 and there is no V70 D6 AWD. Nice weekend wishes – de manatee
