  • Diesel compensation for Volvo V60 D3 Year of manufacture: 2016

    What about Volvo with a claim for compensation for the diesel scandal? Is there anything you can get?

  • Installation of custom-made automotive faux leather seat covers

    Since I could never make friends with my fabric seats with torn faux leather sidewalls, I was looking for a solution to the dilemma. The prices for Volvo original covers are unacceptablely expensive… Finally I found here:https://designbege.de/product-category/car seatbege/volvo/ and thought to myself, you risk that now just once. Delivery time 2 months (they are still made original Volvo cut patterns!), price 340€ for my version (the covers may can be designed as desired (colors, patterns, seams, material). Here are some impressions of the old state:

  • a lot of “waste” on used XC90?

    Hello together, the family plans to buy an XC90. 20,000,- to 25,000,- €. 7-seats for 4 children and dog 1.) On site at the BMW dealer a 01. 2004er T5 with 75,000 km for 19,000,- €. Too expensive if the angular gearbox (yet) was not made and the large climate maintenance is pending, right? 2.) We then tested an Ocean Race D5 from 02.2006. The price was 22,000,- € approx. The car shows several error messages: a marten allegedly destroyed an ABS sensor cable. 3.) We drove a white T5 with 90,000 km and hand-operated from 10.2006. The circuit was between the 1 and 2 gear quite used to. The car was otherwise good to drive. Only below you have seen that the car in the Allgäu was allowed to spend 2.5 years open and was not treated very lovingly: rust on various chassis parts, cathedral bearings, exhaust and at the 4 “Bockpoints” additionally z The 2nd cathedral camp had a lot of play for this. A hail damage had been repaired. Meager equipment and 3,000,- Euro over ADAC price. What do you think? is the white blender solid and stable despite little care and rusting: or better keep your fingers off it? Mobile: Volvo white XC 90 2.5T 7-seater Kinetic, Navi, Xenon for 22.990 in Stuttgart, previously driven in Kempten G soot Manuel PS: The 850 TDI is sold with a heart not yet 200.000 km.

  • When starting “hard” brake pedal

    Hello. I’ve been having the problem for some time now that the brake pedal is heavy on the GP3 2011 6 diesel. If I push the brake normally tenderly, the Phaeton does not start and indicates that I should press the brake. If I press a little more forcefully, it starts and everything is normal again. Do I have to worry or can I check something? Thanks and greeting Klaus

  • Service costs XC60 in Switzerland / Free service?

    Hello dear forum a question to the XC60 drivers in Switzerland. Volvo offers under the label “Swiss Premium” various free services – free service up to 150 000 km or 10 years – warranty up to 150 000 km or 5 years – wear repairs up to 150 000 km or 3 years I would like to know about experience values and the “small print” from practice. – How high are the costs for the regular annual service on average? – Which part of this is really low by “Swiss Premium” I would be very grateful for a few practical examples. I am checking whether I should buy or import an XC60 Momentum D3 / D4 here in Switzerland. When importing I have “only” the 2-year factory warranty. If I drive the car for 10 years, the service costs already play a role. Addition: my driving performance is about 8000 km / year, half short distance, half long distance Thank you, Peter

  • Total failure – leftover Volvo

    Hello all like-minded, I stayed yesterday with my Volvo C 70 convertible, 2.0 Turbo (120 kW), model year probably 1999, EZ. May/2000, hand switch, 256000 km. Suddenly different warning lights (light (display left), ABS, brakes, and at least one more (all in the display right). Shortly afterwards, while driving on the highway at about 120 km/h, the speedometer went to the lower stop (zero) and the rev counter at idle. the engine was still running. I was able to save myself to the standing track by a heavy transport convoy on the right lane. The engine was still running idle, but did not react to the accelerator pedal. After the ignition was switched off, the engine stopped running. ABS control unit was soldered in the past after occasionally the ABS and brake control light had been displayed. Cooling water in the housing of the thermostat was changed after the CO content was always too high. I mean to the above mentioned problems in the past to have read something in this forum. Unfortunately I can not find the suitable search words and the corresponding topics.

  • Stand gas drops in idle mode and Lambda probe symbol leans on to light up.

  • XC90 D5 engine strong enough ?

    Hello, I’m thinking about leasing an SUV from the blow of a Grand Cherokee 3.0 CRD, ML 320 CDI or the like. I also came across the XC90 D5. Visually and of quality and comfort without any doubt. But how about the engine that has significantly less engine capacity and a little less power compared to the other diesels in this class. Can someone help me with this P.S. Would also like to pull a caravan. Thanks in advance Jürgen

  • Meaning large displacements?

    Hi! I’ve seen some vehicles lately (not especially Opel with large engine capacity. What surprised me was that some of the engine capacity was 3.0l, sometimes even 4.0l or even more, but the maximum power was dumping at values between 120 and 150 hp, last seen with a thread about off-road vehicles here in the forum. Now I ask what a sense such a large engine capacity has for such a maximum power. Hey!? Or is this supposed to reduce the mechanical load on the engine? Help me on the jumps. Greetings
