  • Wheels import USA

    Hello, has anyone ever had any experience with the import of rims via Ebay America? If yes: there were problems and how high were the import costs/duration? Besides, I would be interested in what is maximum what fits on 17 inches rims under an EJ2 without pulling. Thanks already in advance for any answer.

  • Engine smells of rubber after acceleration

    Servus to the Volvo family. My name is Thomas and I have become the proud owner of an S60 T6. The car is a reimport from Canada. Year of manufacture 2016. Questions would be, engine smells like rubber after acceleration. What could this be? Voice recognition without function. Can you retrofit it? Speed limiter only goes up to 210 km/h. Would a lifting be possible? I have to say that I bought the car WITHOUT trial drive and inspection. I can only say good things to the dealer. I would be happy to receive a few feedbacks. Nice greeting from the beautiful Weinstraße, Thomas.

  • Sensus o. globe update does not work

    Moin, on the other hand, let me download the corresponding IAM-up-date from Volvo to download the current Sensus Navi software. On Stick- 64 GB- the current update, 21 GB, is downloaded. When playing up in the vehicle, however, zero happens. The stick initially flashes when switching on the Navi- that was then also. no reaction of the Navi to the stick. However, software is on the stick- I have formatted with NTSC and exFat. Any idea?

  • Hyundai Santa Fe Facelift versus XC60

    Hello, has anyone already considered making a Santa Fe compared to the XC60? I got an advance offer today, where the Santa Fe Facelift with 197hp 2.2 diesel with new 6 gear automatic in premium equipment instead of regular price approx. 42,000€ for almost 30,000€ can be imported. The (official!!) dealer said that the vehicles are all imported, but he offers directly from abroad and thus bypasses the sales structure. I mean compared to the XC an unbeatable offer, with the equipment and the size of the vehicle! I think here the XC90 can hold just like that and with the new motorization you don’t need to hide, see here http://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/…/…-im-januar-2010-1482619.html The current 2.2 CRD with 2Wheel and without leather offers the dealer new for 18.00€! Where nice there is so much car for so little money? Not even at Dacia! Before now everything hits me, I will au f make a test drive in any case, because an XC60 will not stand for less than 45,000 € in the equipment on the yard and in the snow with us in the Allgäu I have to worry more and more about a 4WD. Have a nice evening together.

  • Experience report: Battery empty by stationary heating

    Hello, today my V70 had to get started after the battery did not deliver enough power to the start. The friendly helper of the ADAC quickly led the cause to the frequent use of the original installed heater in combination with a lot of short distance operation. I can understand that because we often drive only 3-4 km in the city and let the heater run for 10-15 minutes before. Therefore, it is clear to me that the battery does not last forever! Ziemlic h I am therefore disappointed by the technical implementation at Volvo. Actually, the heater should have been switched off in time so that the car can still be started. However, there was at no time a corresponding indication in the display. Too bad! In the next days I will have to test the battery and the battery. Greetings, ss363

  • Comments on lowering

    Hello again, I had it set today that the comfort lock works and the car shuts itself off independently if you drive more than 15 km/h. Unfortunately the function “Blink and Beep” did not work, think my Dikcer then has no DWA. My question now is, since I have summer tires in the dimension 275 40 19 on original rims to put the ship !!DEZENT!! a little deeper. With my predecessor, a S320 CDI series W220 it was easy to relatib! the level changed. Finished and no error message with front 3 and hit 2 cm. What does this look like with Phaeton? I am curious about answers and possible experiences. Greeting from Cuxhaven Malte

  • GP3, 3.0 tdi, later switching time from D2 to D3 at cold temperatures and cold engine

    Hello, I’ve noticed more than once that my fat guy, when he’s still cold and the outside temperature is at most 3-4 degrees, only switches from D2 to D3 at about 55-60 km/h. Is this because of the cold, now probably tougher gear oil, or do I have to call the workshop again? This problem only occurs when the vehicle is cold. Thanks already for your help. Greeting Mathias

  • Problems with electronics

    Hello dear Volvo V60 driver, we bought a Volvo V60 in August 2015 via Mobile .de. As far as everything is super, top maintained, almost 70000 run multifunction steering wheel,Bluethooth, Navi, alarm system, removable trailer clutch,Start Stop automatic! Are then a week later on the holiday…everything great! Since autumn, however!Start Stop automatic sparks..no more…Heating is constantly confused… Was then in the workshop a year warranty from Autoha us! So there was a software update made and then it did again…. A few days later the same mucken again….have brought the now two weeks ago again for three!!!Days in the workshop, it was called several sotware updates and a complete update! Drive away from the car dealership and am halfway,there did en the two !!!12 volt batteries to connect for the mobile phone no more,DSTC was out, Start Stop did not work yet the next day….Car dealership was of course too weekend! I could really vomit because if the problem persists after the year will be really expensive!!! Besides, I have the feeling that the car dealership does not take me seriously, there came a saying of yes to see if Volvo takes over this! I know that the start stop system does not work at low temperatures, but they were not given!!! Besides, I did not wear air conditioning where it then already does not work! Now good advice is expensive and no I have no right chutzversicherung…I’m going to get them!Do you have any advice or does this happen more often with this model????

  • Deficiencies 2011 V70

    Last Friday I bought a used V70 (D5 Momentum, EZ 06/2011, 160.000 km, 232 hp / 171 kW Heico, TÜV until 09.2017) with warranty and 1 year warranty. I have noticed 3 things negatively up to now: 1. If I drive straight ahead, the steering wheel is wrong. Not much, but it bothers me. If I let go of the steering wheel briefly, the car drives straight ahead and does not pull over to one side. I suspect that the steering wheel has already been dismantled and not just mounted. The dealer knows nothing about it. 2. The driver’s side door handle is poorly open, even when compared to the other door handles. Is it done here with a bit of silicone spray, as the dealer suggests? 3. The crossbar shakes at full impact. After 162,000 km probably not unusual. How high are the costs here and on what should be do I respect? Best regards

  • Would you buy a Volvo V70 R AWD with hand-operated gear with 366000 km ?? From MFK ….

    Hello together… 🙂 I’ve been wanting a V70 for a long time and I found one in the net…. It’s from 1997 and has 336000 km, but runs well and would have been from MFK. The car has been exchanged and has a new petrol pump …… I heard Volvos running EEEWIG but is that also so ?? I am very grateful for hints 🙂 Oh yes and how is that with the maintenance costs ?? I have now a Vw Passat 2,5 TDI 4 Motion and I have read a lot of problems. However, runs the so far good and has 194000 km. What would you do ? Keep the passat or buy the Volvo ?? Gruss Nina
