  • XC 90 Brake-Murks

    A real flaw in the XC 90 seems to be the brakes. After the front brakes have been replaced with 18,000 at mileage on guarantee. I now have the same problem after about another 20,000 km: the discs are sliding and the brakes are rubbing. The workshop now puts itself across the lack again uncomplicated. In my opinion it is a clear material error, because the brake discs are simply too soft. The chrome part of the materi as is too low, the heat dissipation too bad. At any rate, this was nothing new to the master of the Volvo car house, especially since the V70 has to suffer from the same illness. my XC 90 is now 1.5 years old, knarzt and quitsch after 43,000 here and there, evruses with 8.6 liters on average quite little and makes great fun. Only I would not buy it after leasing alone because of the brake murks. What experiences do you have? Greetings big-j

  • Comparison of upper class in the car picture…

    I was able to take a look in a car picture with a customer today. (can also have been an older edition) There was a comparison test of the upper class!: E-Mercedes, Volvo S80, Skoda Superb and a lemon. Unfortunately could only look at it fleetingly, someone knows more? Greetings Torsten

  • V70 II or V70 III What does the new so weaken for? Purchase advice..?

    Hello to each other, since I have unfortunately found kenie category “purchase advice”, I write it here. Pardon if not in place. I’m just about to buy a V70. One of them should definitely be. However, the question arises to me, prefer to get a cheaper V70-II with under 200tkm, or get a V70-III with more than 200tkm for more money…? To me: I always screw my cars myself for over 15 years, special tool I make myself out of sport It is important for me that the car is easy to maintain, and you don’t have to expand the bumper for example in order to change the way it is. If I get a more modern car, the right diagnostic device will usually come into the shopping cart. However, I have read that from a period on Volvo has decided not to build indestructible and that the quality of the car is not indestructible. The only argument to buy a V70-III would be to lie less under the car than under the woman. -Arguments for / against the one or the other? I would be very happy about a few impressions of you! With best regards, hope soon Neuelch, Kinematiker

  • Insurance excludes certain countries from TK

    Hello, I have a question about your insurance for your moose, as there are problems with me recently. I exchanged my 2008 V70 for a newer 2014 D5 AWD. I informed the insurance about the vehicle exchange, a new contract was calculated and concluded… So far everything is good… After about four weeks I got a letter from the insurance, with a change of contract, which I should now sign. In this the theft protection of the partial cascade, for certain The reason is a statistical evaluation….High risk for the vehicle in question. Can they just change this later? I wanted to go to Czechia or Poland in the next few days… My moose is no longer insured against theft… The funny thing is that if I make an online inquiry about my moose at the insurance company at this time, I can immediately conclude a contract without pointing to the said one. tears. I would be very happy about tips… Best regards Femur77

  • Timing belt change on Wednesday

She also said that this is equivalent and you have no problems) WAPU is from Meyle so I think there is no prob.. As said on Wednesday everything will be installed. n right away with change?? (cost 37€ , I find already a lot) Does anyone have experiences with INA ??? Pictures then come from change, since I have someone who will help me it will hopefully go well.

  • Big disk paste…

    Moin moin, I bought my R already with a marten damage but since then I probably had at least two more visits. Luckily (for the marten) no cables or hoses were nibbled on but the insulation mat (with three m) became smaller and more ugly each time. Now my question, if anyone knows how to neutralize the smell for other marten or where I get such a insulation mat (with three m) or an alternative like fireproof carpet etc. which I have in front of the damage Is there such a thing in the hardware store? Can I just cut a black foot-strip and stick it in or torch me at the next full throttle ride with a red glowing turbo??? best regards

  • 850 the conversion to Volvo level of springs tensioning

    Have a cheap offer (complete set levelling set Volvo part number: 9124841) and a question regarding conversion. Do you need a special tool for the removal of the old springs or for the installation of the longer thinner springs? How are the experiences? Is it possible with other means? Would I be happy to be a skilled hobbyist (but not a specialist) with tips. Grazie

  • “Open door” message

    Hello guys, I’m new here in the forum. I’ve been having a V70 D5 summum for two days and it shows the following message since today: rear door left open”. Door, however, is grenade dense. Has someone an idea what that could be. Interior lighting remains on, warning light lights on the display and when closing there is no receipt of the flashing lights.

  • Cool features of the Phaeton that not everyone knows

    I think there are some tips and tricks on the Phaeton that are not aware of every driver, features that can be activated by certain sequences of keystrokes or VCDS. Therefore, I wanted to open a sort of collection thread to bring these features together and thus pool the knowledge… I have learned about the following features in the last days: 1: One can use the individual keys of the Phaeton with a seat position and accordingly adjusted exterior mirrors link to the thread: https://www.motor-talk.de/forum/seat-setting-t3460567.html 2: VCDS can be used to activate confirmation tones when opening and closing vehicles with an alarm system, although they are not entirely legal in Germany, but do not disturb anyone and thus ensure that the car has really been completed Link to the T hread for this: https://www.motor-talk.de/…/…ieren-beep-beim-auto-zu-t1902032.html This will probably not be new features for the meaty Zottels and Wurmchens among you, but for me and possibly also some other Phaeton drivers determined… Who knows more cool features can write them in the comments, so we bundle our knowledge
