  • Problem with belt length in S80 (with pictures)

    Since in the foreseeable future young people will be waiting with us, I have a few days ago the baby bowl and the pram from our 2 year old son out to see if the things fit in the S80. Our son is now sitting in a “normal” child seat which also fits very well in the S80. The pram would also fit in the trunk, even if it is then full. The problem is the Roman baby bowl: The straps on the back bench are about 20cm too short!!! n seat is not normally strapped or only frayed with a lot. But then the shell “turns” back over through the too short belt. At Volvo I only saw a kind of buckle as a belt extension – but that won’t be enough of the length. Otherwise there are no alternatives from Volvo to my dealer either. We were already out and tried out baby shells from other manufacturers, but the straps at the back are simply too short. Do you know any advice what to do?? – I’m so baffled…

  • Engine noise after cold start

    Happy New Year Together! Have currently fogenous problem with the 2007 3.0 TDI: After starting it makes a shrill recurring sound – as if a V-belt squeaks rhythmically. Go away later. KM currently about 80,000. Try to attach a recording.

  • Short introduction

    Hello in the round, I am now also Phaeton owner (EZ 08/15). I searched really long for a specimen without corrosion problems – now I hope to have found a suitable part. I am no longer the youngest (Bj. 1955) and just wanted to fulfill a dream again. For that I gave my X5 with a heavy heart. Well, it was much easier to get in and out there! For this the new one glides better ??. Since I no longer drive so much rde, have I decided for the petroler. Today I will be embarrassed right now. I did not find the day-to-day counter reserve – neither in the car nor in the BA. Can someone help me perhaps? Thanks already in advance and everyone a nice Sunday! VG Stephan

  • Kessy dry, but vehicle can not start, key is not recognized

    Moin Moin, I know the subject is up.. but I found nothing in the constellation. The Phaeton stood with me for a long time rum, and I noticed already when I put the two weeks ago into operation, how he had difficulty to recognize my key (thought key battery is dead, was replaced earlier). Now I wanted to go to the car today. AGM just hung on the charger, installed it and wanted to unlock the car. Over the remote control nothing went. The alarm So the driver’s door opened, alarm lights remained on. Put in and the car started shouting. So I “plugged off” the wire of the siren with force and both batteries also to open the footroom without the DWA bothering me. Here I noticed; the Kessy is Furztrocken!! I then called in Lüdinghausen, they could tell me ad hoc but nothing. Maybe read out. When the batteries were still in, my key was held (must have called in Lüdinghausen, but they could not tell me anything. Now I don’t know if the DWA horn is really paralyzed now by just plugging it off – it went off two more times afterwards, then it was off. I don’t want to connect the batteries to disturb half the neighborhood when reading the kessys and be allowed to deal with the police. Furthermore, I am about to expand and investigate the kessy, because the keyless anyway never klakla ppt. So I suspect creeping corrosion in kessy, which has now finally taken it off. Is one even able to read the car without ignition? The car steals me 100% again the key. Anyone advice how to continue here? Currently the car stands on a main road in a quiet place at a 10+° elevation. Towing is also stupid.. Best regards and in advance thank you for any help. Your Don

  • Another performance at the Phaeton Forum

    Hello little Phaeton community! Since I am now more active in the forum than I had suspected at the beginning, I thought I would introduce myself here. Initially I signed up here on the occasion, because I had bought a Phaeton and knew that I would encounter some problems there, which I could not solve without expert help. With the acquisition of one of these rolling masterpieces, I have fulfilled a long dream. I would like to thank you very much. The Phaeton is, in my opinion, the only vehicle from this segment, without this “poser factor”. Understatement and luxury pure, but still practical in everyday life. In fact, in 2011 I fell in love with the show “The Checker” in the car in shock. A childhood dream quasi. Briefly to my person: I am 23 and come from the vicinity of Landsberg in beautiful Bavaria. I am already very interested in technology and vehicle from a very young age, therefore my training as a aircraft mechanic and then as a computer scientist. My rolling companion is a Phaeton Edition 6, 3.0 TDI from the year 2008, which I bought in December 2020 with 129000 km for 850€ from 3rd hand. When buying the tailgate did not work, which was a good negotiation argument for me. The condition was largely very well maintained. I hope that the car still brings me a lot of fun and I learn a lot about the vehicle in the forum. n and can experience. Enough read, we see ourselves in the really interesting threads LG Thomas

  • Trains in the driver’s area, my current status

    I was already involved in some dialogues on this subject. I had also promised, if there is something new on the subject, to speak again. It is clear to me, of course, that at rising temperatures the topic is not so topical, but the next winter is certain. As agreed with Volvo, the vehicle was visited on site, and my friend again made every effort to make my request clear to Volvo as well. ch say that the representative of Volvo obviously also realized that we are not affected by spinners, but that there really is a serious problem. Since despite accurate analysis of the explosion drawing of the ventilation system there was no hib and firm explanation to be found then the glove compartment was dismantled, behind it lies the umluftklappe. I then drove with the car a few days under close observation of all air conditions, flap positions and switch positions and Unfortunately I am not a poet, otherwise the text would certainly be more readable, but the report I have prepared is now available in Volvo. It is clear that there will be no quick solution, but at least I know what it is now. If I get a solution proposal from Volvo I will of course report again on this topic. I wish you all a lot of fun with your little ones despite the draughts. With the best regards gs22091954 P S: Since no .doc are allowed as attachment I have added a .pdf, if someone has problems with reading the file, please report, then there is also an optically worse .txt verse

  • xc90 new ordered with 200 ps, but 185 ps delivered

    In September 2010 I ordered a Volvo XC 90 D5 with 200 hp (also according to the contract). 5 days ago the car arrived in the car dealership, but it only has the 185 hp engine. My salesman offered me to increase the performance to about 210 hp by means of software tuning, in a way as a reparation. Does one have the experience with this kind of tuning? Does this bring something? Does this change some of the consumption values? Moreover, the old engine only has the Euro 4 standard, the new one however 5. What would you do? Accept the offer or insist on fulfilling the contract? Thank you very much for your help!!!

  • Steering limiters installed or not???

    Hello everybody, maybe this is a little stupid question – how do I find out if my 850 steering limiter is installed? Can you see the parts without having to drive the car on stage? Thank you! MfG Jablonski

  • IIHS test of the light quality: Volvo S60 only “acceptable”

    Interesting test:http://www.iihs.org/iihs/sr/statusreport/article/51/3/1 This was once a discipline in which Volvo always stood with good cards… Lieb Gruss Oli

  • Talitha rims at the XC60

    Moin together Last year I had a complete set of wheels Talitha (Diamond cut/Black Stone) 9×20 with 255/45 R20 Pirelli’s for my XC60 with my dealer. Unfortunately I had to find out after about 2 months an imbalance on the steering wheel (light fluttering). Since I did not drive over curbs or in other terrain except possibly a milled road in urban traffic with a maximum of 40km/h, and I am the only driver it is inexplicable to me why these rims now have a Be 3 out of 4 rims have this side impact. Can’t describe this now in moderation and numbers because I couldn’t hold a clock to the balancer, but the one is quite clear and the other two a little less but just enough to make the steering wheel flutter. I asked my master contract workshop and my former master contract workshop how something like that can happen, both of them thought that this didn’t just happen, the one said just that the I was still with the Tüv and he meant whether it was the material or whether there was anything that was difficult to say. An expert opinion on this would be difficult to draw up. I am now mainly interested in the maximum wheel load of such a rim since I find it nowhere before I bother the dealer again. I now make the wheel load depending on whether I get these rims again or not. With other rim manufacturers it varies from 680kg -1024kg per rim what I’ve seen. I’m just surprised that happens with such a rim. I decided especially for an original because I thought buying what good what thinks, which was only manufactured and developed for the XC60. well… so if someone can tell me the wheel load of this rim I would be very grateful MFG
