In front of the front door for the test drive. More precisely: XC 90 V8, exec., 7-seater, saphirschwarz First impression: the pure mjölnir or hammer! Unfortunately, you don’t hear much about the blubbering. On leisurely driving one hears of the V8 nothing at all, while giving a gentle gas a quiet gushing and during the kickdown an animal roar. To the ambience I can not say too much, is identical to my own. The new 6-speed automatic is excellent. It speaks much faster and switches, as one could not do better by hand. No comparison to the normal Schwabbeltronic. The chassis is tighter than in the normal XC90, but not uncomfortable. With the new Haldex was so far no difference on the roads well cleared at the time. I am about 100 km on federal roads and inner city on the road – consumption 15.6 L according to BC. Conclusion: A fantastic car with no power at the end. With the kickdown, the Lend turn is completely on. For this car you should not have to drive more expensive than a car.

Hello everyone here as promised in my signature I can introduce you now my new old Volvo. True now in the last 3 days diligent and adapted my V70 to me. Now I am looking forward to your opinions to my V70. Here are many pictures of my elk Besere quality unfortunately not possible here in the forum. Greeting Michael N.

Hello, which summer tires, in size 225/45ZR17 are best? for 2 pieces my father paid with a dealer almost 450€. (inclusive balancing etc…) I mean, tires are already much cheaper, these were also michelin, as far as I know. nevertheless they should be good, because the car is often driven out and so … so cheap matures come in no case in question, but sometimes even the somewhat cheaper matures are better, than the expensive michelin. so, what recommendation would you have??? nice would be brand and exactly article number, so that I can ask on site at the tyre dealer sometimes, if he can get the etc.!? About answers I would be happy!!! MFG Christian

Is there anything new about the orderability of the front parking aid? I found the HERE, but only from “W0446” (whatever that means), without prices and only in connection with these “glorious” bumper bars: “”Bumper rods give the mark a decorative and appealing frame. With their paintwork in silver metallic they fit harmoniously into the exterior design.”- especially with all non-silver metallic XC90s… Do you then only get two sensors in the middle (or four as in the back)?

Hello Together the crossing of the AWD elk works on snow with reduced or switched off DSTC surprisingly well. On the parking lot can be done without handbrake wonderful Kringel only with finely dosed gas foot. The whole is so well doseable that I have already stretched out the rear on one or other (very clear curve) even a little bit (about 35km/h). Hardly you go from the gas, the DSTC regulates everything is in the lead again, or you drift around emotionally but that’s not the amazing thing. What surprised me very much, however (because for the first time): Recently on an absolutely dry road with 225 he winter tires on 18″ the elk drifts nevertheless while speeding up in the 2nd gear. As on snow very manageable but also at minus 5 degrees surprising for me. Conclusion: the Haldex AWD is under load clearly rear-bender than previously assumed. Like me very good Also otherwise I am enthusiastic about the AWD after I have a very steeply broken Bravos!

Hello together, XC 90, first registration 03.2005, one week after delivery phone defective. Stand by in the workshop until troubleshooting 1 week. Then up to approx. 15,000 km except the usual flap noises nothing, then low cooling water loss. Diagnosis after several days in the workshop: no error to find. At approx. 23,000 km again alarming “cool water loss”, now the diagnosis exhaust gas in the cooling water, cylinder head damage. Volvo rejects warranty, because Heico Chip. Heico picks up car, replaces on warranty head and seal. Duration another week. According to Heico. Damage can not be returned to the chip. Car comes back, dealer does not come to drive it again sample and passes it to me. I drive 500m, noises on the rear axle, car goes back to the dealer, diagnosis: both wheel bearings defective at the rear. KM-stand now about 25,000 (three zeros!,not 4). Before the XC 90 I have driven over a period of about 10 years, and perhaps 300,000 km 3x540i. The workshop time for these cars can’s together do not belong to the joy.

So, let’s say that in my V70 (three months old) I’m using the factory built-in car phone with my “Flexi-Card” from E-Plus. It’s a second SIM card for my mobile phone number. Each card is given a certain priority. Are both devices, i.e. mobile phone and car phone turned on, always ring the phone when a call is made, first. All SMS messages are sent only to the device with priority 1. Until now I have the card with priority 2 in the car phone. During the journey I turn off the phone. Now, when a second call is received during a telephone call, it does not get a seat sign, but ends up right on the mailbox. This will inform me by SMS about a new call, but the SMS will only go to the device where the card with priority 1 is located – so the phone is switched off, however, you can also assign priority 1 to me.
