  • VOLVO V70 D5 AWD Momentum Geartronic – what about it?

    Hello to the Volvo fans I’m new here and from Switzerland and therefore I’m also looking for a car on the CH market. I need a car and love to look for a Volvo – I’ve never had one before. I’m now on this one: http://www.auto-outlet.ch/…/ Reads everything very tempting, I feel the price discount as “giant” and therefore quite tempting. Well, my unneeded question – what do you think about it? Could this just be a great “Christmas gift” or is it to be reckoned with such a copy with one or more horse feet? If it could be a “schnappchen” – please don’t snatch away… Thank you very much for a feedback – am very curious… I wish all Happy Festival Esther – yes a woman) 😉

  • How to lose customers…

    Good morning! After the business assignment of my Berlin VOLVO contract workshop I was recommended by the boss of the VOLVO workshop in Zeesen (Brandenburg). The local customer service manager also proved to be competent and extremely friendly. In the meantime this workshop has now received a new VOLVO customer manager, with which I had to deal for the first time. Order was: to raise winter tyres and install an interior multifilter. At the same time I wanted to have an offer for PIRELLI summer tyres. – When I then got the offer by mail the next day, I almost fell off the chair! – One actually demanded about 400 € more than I should pay at a Berlin VOLVO workshop for the same type of tire !!! I answered the following by e-mail:After which I slowly recovered from the first shock, I am now able to answer you: Up to now I was quite satisfied with the service and the work in the car house ZEESEN. I had the feeling to be treated fairly and to be advised. But after sending this offer I am no longer so sure to lose the impression of being more than to the elderly. I would have been aware of having a good idea of buying it again.

  • Used Volvos stable in value ?

    Hello, I looked out of fun after my V50 at autoscout24 and mobile.de and found with astonishment that I paid a lot less than at present for the same KM stand. then I increased the KM stand to see from when the value sinks. also here an amazing result: only from 100,000 km the value falls below 10k euro, and also that only with a few cars, most were despite 100,000 km still a lot more than 10,000 euro. it can be that the loss with new car purchase after 3 years strongly sinks at volvos ( with others but also ) but at least my search showed that I still have to be able to drive 60,000-70,000, until the car is less worth than I spent for it 🙂 have bought it with 40,000 km, now he has 54,000 km on it, ride in the year about 30,000 km. should be still 2 years in it 🙂 or is the whole with volvo very strongly seasonal caused ? gruss E.

  • Coupling defect?

    Data about the car: Honda Civic 1.4 90hp EJ9 Hatchback Hello, I had a problem and I did not have a problem a few days ago, I accelerated my Civic from the standstill and when I wanted to get out of the 1st into the 2nd gear, the clutch pedal felt funny at this moment and I couldn’t put in the second gear any more. The clutch pedal comes back to its position quite normally, but when I press it seems a little lighter and shortly before the close one you run a slight counter pressure. When the car is on, I can’t put in the gear. Once I have switched off the car, I can switch the gears normally. I then turned off the car, put in the 1st gear, put on the car and wanted to go off. Only from about 3500 revolutions the car moved slowly forward and the gears could not be changed. Then I did a clutch test (with the 4th gear and tightened hand brake) and I was able to give in the standstill and plugged in gas and it is not dead. Liquid is present, it is not checked today. What is the coupling cylinder should start here?

  • Brake discs hum when braking from high speed

    Hello together, if you are on the run with the V60 it is not impossible that you have to slow down properly. At a mileage of approx. 45.00 km I had to brake quickly from more than 200 to 140. At the end of the braking process the brakes roared. Thought that comes from the winter tyres and the lamella profile. Now changed to summer tyres, km stand at 58.000, I once again had a braking process from 220 to 140 and there was the roar again to hear. With normal braking this is not the case, or only discreet. After this braking action on the front axle, the brake discs have got stains, discoloration, shine no longer evenly, but goes back again a bit with normal driving mode. Who has had similar experiences? Is the normal wear, as the friendly had to say to me?

  • Decision approaching, experience sought related to V70 DRIVe

    Hello dear Elch friends, well after I’m in my old job at the service car against the V70 , I have now after a job change again the (doubtful) pleasure to order a service car. Unfortunately the new Car Policy is completely subject to the madness of the “the greenest fleet on planet” mania and as a reference car serves here a VW Passat Variant Blue Motion technology with a thick 105PS TDI 1.6l motörchen in CL equipment! You can think how great my joy is! Nevertheless, I can pay off and choose a 2.0l TDI or more equipment etc., but honestly I see a service car little, or should keep this supply within the frame. So let’s come to the Them: the V70 D3 is completely outside, the payment of a good 145€ monthl. are above a self-occupied limit, so I look forward and come out of the following Konfi: V70 Drive Race Fleet Package (i.e. to the front of the business package Beschlagunschreibt, Provermitschlägung, Vorschidungsvermitschahlung.

  • Laminated glass too thick for sunscreen film?

    Hello, unfortunately I found nothing in the search function: I want to darken the side and rear windows with my XC60 Built 01/2009. The company where I want to do this has now told me that I have double glazing/composite glazing (have bought the car used recently) and that the back does not work well (side windows rear passenger) at the trunk (back and rear side windows) it is no problem. The reason is that the side pane is too thick, and you can’t do well with it… You have to remove the side panes in the rear doors (let) then you could fold it. How do your experiences look – the rear side panes really have to be removed…is that difficult…? Thank you for your tips!

  • 2.0 D rising oil level

    People, I need your help. With my 07 C30 3.0 D the oil level is rising. I have already rummaged a bit in the net and I have come to the conclusion that there are problems with the D5 or 2.4 D there, also isolated cases with the 2 liter engine. My friend said, after consultation with Sweden, that the problem is not known and after transmission of all the values of my car I now wait for a feedback from Sweden. Well, that the net is known I can not quite believe – just because of isolated hits on the Internet – and now I ask into the illustrious round, who has heard of it or who is affected by it. quite diligent can also post, what could be the problem thank you!

  • V50 1.6D Service Content 60.000 km or 3 years?

    Hello, I just got my V50 1.6d from the three-year inspection and the price didn’t inspire me (with TÜV about 800€). What I was particularly upset about is that the workshop apparently also performs the filling up of the DPF additive at 60,000km, although the car has only 40.000 km on it. Likewise, all possible filters were exchanged, of which I suspect they were also good for a mileage of 60,000 km. (Doesn’t know when they will exchange the DPF for me…) Do you lose the assistance services / connection guarantee if you only have the necessary measures due to the mileage? Can you arrange this with a contract workshop, only the exchange necessary due to the mileage? I didn’t deliver and picked up the car and could not intervene in time. Thank you for your help!
