Hello, my wife and I have been the owners of a used Volvo XC90 D5 with 163 hp Built 01/2005 (with round tail lights). The car is completely stacked, but the previous owner has added an HC oil (5W 40) to the existing, probably fully synthetic oil (also 5W 40). According to various dealers, this is no longer tragic, but I would like to use the right oil for the upcoming 120,000 km inspection. This standard is available with the recommended “standard oil” Castrol Edge or Castrol Formula SLX (not FST). Is this oil also suitable for the diesel and the right one? Alternatively, I find the Castrol Edge 0W 30 especially for Turbo Diesel engines on the Internet. I have a retrofitted soot particulate filter. Unfortunately, this oil only seems to meet the standard ACEA C2/C3. Is this also suitable? I don’t want to do something wrong at the beginning. Welc hes is now the correct oil for our Volvo? Which is better? I hope for answers.

What’s that again for a nonsense yesterday on the driver’s side the window drove up, suddenly it tilts to the front and is only raised in the rear, so that the disc stands 45 degrees obliquely to the front out of the door. With manual after-floating I managed to get the disc back in and completely close it, but it still has game and is apparently not led in the front so properly. A metallic “clonk” in the front of the door.

Hi together, I’m thrilled by the XC police cars and fire trucks in Scandinavia and GB. Does anyone have sources/pictures of XC70 in other countries that are turned into special vehicles? (Scandinavia and GB I already have 🙂 I don’t think that they are sometimes designed as amulance, but as an official car the XC is to be used for many things … Tschau Torsten – the XC fan

Good evening, I just surfed the net for my wife in search of a car and came across an S80 in Cologne. I like it very much because of its bright interior and the motorization. But the outside color is not so much the hit for me. You can find it at Autoscout24 under Volvo S80 from EZ 2001 for 4999,-€. The car stands at a – it seems to me at least so – mediocre “used car slide” in Cologne, company Auto Mobile Cuffaro, Kalk – Mülheimerstr. 337, 51065 Cologne. Now my questions: 1. Do you happen to know this car and can you tell me something (positive or negative) about it? Or can any of you take a short tour because it is around the corner? 2. Can you drive this model for at least 6 years without what flies around your ears? 3. What about defects and rust etc. in general with this model? What problems does this model have? I am a little skeptical about the engine – the 5-cylinders at Volvo stem and if I remember from VW/AUDI. And with VW and Audi in the past some in my circle of acquaintances had big problems with disassembled turbos, through which partly also the engines were over. Thank you already for your expert answers!

Hello dear Foris, I am very interested in the purchase of a gas V70. Unfortunately, the natural gas network is almost non-existent with us. Therefore, LPG will probably do the race. Now I have some older models in the “eye” and would be very happy if you would post your experiences / advice here. To me: I drive about 35 000 km/year, a lot of highway, mostly routes (easy) about 50 km (way to work). Now I have the agony of choice: 1) 2.0 Comfort, 173000km, BJ2002, 179 HP 2) 2.4, 144,000km, BJ 2001, 140hp 3) 2.4, 135000km, BJ 2002, 140hp Unfortunately I don’t yet know which systems are installed, or since when the cars have been converted. Is there something special that you think I should pay attention to? Newer GAS elks are unfortunately not affordable (for me). What is your opinion on the rather high km-performances? Is there an increased maintenance requirement for the LPG cars? Oh – Buying a car is always exciting! Will you help me with something? I would be hugely interested in about your experiences and advice / hints are happy! Thank you Kirsten
