Hello in the round, the new one is here. Got a problem at least my Volvo. On Friday, the rib belt to the alternator is torn (alternatively, I think it is very brittle true). From the Bosch Car Service. Belts ordered and repaired on Monday (nightly) picked up. within 25 km the Volvo leaves and jumps no longer. Organ organ organ, but he does not want to start. Ergo called the ADAC and waited. In this hood uf and looked inside. Rib belt to jump a tooth to the side. ADAC man arrived and camshaft sensor error message. Generator too little tension. I called the factory town and the dare to go. In the factory town they searched for torn cable from the sensor and found nothing since the belt had been slightly shredded (ist) and the mechanic said that I guess the tooth strap has jumped around a tooth. Now I have the stupid feeling that the rib belt developed such a force that it came to the jump and the mechanic can’t say no and the mechanic doesn’t ask you enough.

Hello together, like input from people who are in the similar situation – tips like try out, or I could imagine are not helpful here. We, our 2 dogs ( Labrador size ) and a baby have to come with. Not only during the holiday but also for daily walks on the WE and under the week. In the car must next to the passengers, the baby bowl and the pram what already needs some space. ( luggage for holiday is then not yet in ) An XC60 is already available, however for the purpose clearly too small… Jmd in similar situation which it could solve with a Volvo? Thanks and beautiful WE Benton

I drive a V60 D6, approved in March 2015, but I think my problem also affects other Volvos. My hope for the traffic sign recognition has given way to a certain disenchantment: the system does not recognize a beginning / end of the place; it does not recognize any estuaries that lift a speed limit; and my greatest hope was that at “30 – 200m” I no longer have to stare at the speedometer to see when the 200m are over. In doing so, the system recognizes for example “in case of wetness” and does not show this limit in case of dryness. My question to members who have been driving Volvo for a long time: Is it possible in your opinion that the traffic sign recognition will get an update at some point? Actually, this would have to be software-technically solvable, the hardware could surely recognize the signs accordingly sensitively. Can other manufacturers do that better?

Hello, had the opportunity to test a BMW 520 d touring with automatic. So I had promised myself more… Compared to my V 70 D 3 with automatic better – transmission characteristics…but only a little more – chassis more dynamically designed – shape slightly sleek – panoramic roof But here are the disadvantages, of course subjective – seats – no comparison to the Volvo – interior look, especially cheap decorative strips – space available for drivers, passengers and luggage disappointing – consumption no less, although 1 cylinder is missing As said, everything is naturally purely subjective. But worlds are in no case, rather the normal distance when the BMW has been on the market for just under a year, but the Volvo has been around 4 years. However, Volvo doesn’t have to hide, does it? seashell PS – So it’s clear, it’s waiting for me a D 5 and not 5 he.

Hello people, It will soon be so that I will change from V50 to V60. There is no time yet but I get nervous already. Since it will be a demonstration or annual car you can not completely choose the desired equipment, because it is also necessary to find it first. Have the V60 D3 as a switch times trial driving and I am of the opinion that it should now be for me. But have two questions about it to you. 1. Should one necessarily take xenon light or is the light bulb quite good in the illumination? As I heard the headlight on the V60 should be already very class. Would it be very pleased about experiences/explanations about it. 2. What about the D3 with the DPF? Does it have a change after km necessary for a lot of money, or is the rather maintenance arm? Is there with the engine this Aditiv or not? I come through one another slowly and can not remember it anymore, S….e! Actually that was already. I have no more worries.

Hello, after many years BMW and Mercedes (all 6-cylinder gasoline) we now want to “convert” the 4-cylinder engine within the next 12 months to the Volvo V60. Especially problematic is the engine choice with Volvo. I am used to R6 or V6 engines – quiet, cultivated and silky soft engine run (at the moment in the C280T, i.e. 3,0l V6 with 231 hp). But the T6 does not come into question for us, since it is supposed to be a year car and the T6 is actually hard to get (and in practice I would estimate about – 10l) – durability of the engine (240hp from 2.0l cylinder capacity)? – Only 4-cylinder, probably not a really nice sound of the engine – consumption m.E. relatively high (in practice I would estimate about – 10l) – durability of the engine (even though there are some good ones).
