  • Note: Light on!

    Yesterday evening it happened: Outside light twilight … I get into my moose and drive off. All instruments are perfectly read out because perfectly lit. If you are not used to it, you don’t think that light should be included, because you still see (almost) everything and the cockpit is also perfectly illuminated. Only when a few approaching drivers blinked at me, I noticed that I was driving completely without light. If only I had noticed that everything was perfectly illuminated in the vehicle and it wasn’t sooo dark outside. Quite dangerous! Nice and helpful would be a little hint here, maybe a warton or a small illuminated symbol in the amaturary board … Greeting Jan

  • Are you happy with your V70?

    Hello, starting from the survey for him I would like to ask the question of the questions here. I quote: Quotation: Now I read so often already from dissatisfied … drivers, that slowly really the question arises to me, how so the end user really thinks about the car now. I is of course clear that in a forum mostly problems and dissatisfaction are discussed. So hand on the heart: how satisfied are you really with the moose? It would also be nice if you can present pros and cons briefly here … Greetings Tom (and still very much looking forward to the answers!)

  • Gas cylinder valves for Volvo V70 III AFV

    Hello to each other, after having been on the road with my Volvo V70 III AFV (Sweden Import), year 2010, model year 2011, 10Tkm without problems (currently 150Tkm) the switching fuel } gas has given up its mind. My workshop found the error. It is the gas cylinder valves that are worn out. Now it is about getting 3 pcs. new valves as possible. Does any of you know a “source” for this, which I should definitely ask for? Fa. Peltner in Vlotho would be my first address. Thank you for braining and always good driving! scout2

  • The Phaeton and its smell in the interior… or why an S class would not be possible…

    Today I had the opportunity to go with a business friend in his S class (S 500) Punkomüchte. The car is about 7 months old, and has almost 30,000 KM on the tacho. Anyway, it almost “cut me off” as it is in the S class “stinkt”. There are effusions present, the torment every nose…. Otherwise I can only say, the ride feeling and especially the space offered is absolute top! If one considers that the S class is also no bigger than a Phaeton, one asks oneself where this great space feeling comes from. The seat is perfect. If I make the seat completely back, I can not get to the pedals with my 192 cm body length. For me as a seat giant the place is even with a raised seat and with SD to the top gigantic. Schade VW with the Phaeton can not keep there. My business friend wanted to drive once W12. So we made a small round around “Dorf”. After a KhaM he meant “be softly” and “That’s got away from the good stuff.”

  • XC90 D5: unfortunately need new summer tires – which are the best?

    Now have 42,000 KM down with the XC90 D5, of which about 14,000 KM with Michelin winter tires and 28,000 KM with the standard Conti summer tires. The Michelin still have almost full profile, the Conti have especially in the last months greatly degraded – 28,000 KM that is in my view much too little. So I don’t want Conti anymore (apart from that they also “sing” a bit annoyingly. Which all-wheeled summer tires can you recommend to me and how much KM do they run according to your opinion? Rolo his previous Ford Explorer over 60,000 KM ran with the first set “Firestone Wilderness AT” (which unfortunately does not exist in Germany!).

  • Question to the offroaders: Is this winch good?

    Hi together, would like to put this winch (just in case – so not daily use 😉 in the trunk. Is this garbage or could you lie down? Good ride! Torsten – the XC fan (and the price I find OK, but have no comparison/experience)

  • Momentum or Executive

    Hello, this is my first post and needs a few tips from you. I’ll order an XC90 D5 Geartronic, but I’m not sure which equipment line. Is Executive worth it and are there any disadvantages? Is the extra €900 for the premium sound system worth it? Otherwise the equipment is already fixed: RTI,PDC, Schwarmet., laminated glass, GSD, wood and 18″ Thank you for your help in advance. mihvolvo

  • 2.5T vs. D5?

    Hello forum, now to my second fundamental question (if you can answer it at all): How does the 2.5T in the V70 compare to the D5 (163hp)? Or otherwise: Does the 2.5T harmonize well with the around 1.7 tons of the V70? Thank you in advance, Sebi70
