  • 2 questions about my new Volvo V60

    Hello Volvo friends, I’m now happy in the new V60. Have a lot of fun. Have everything except heatable rear seats and Sound Premium. I can’t understand or find 2 things as a tech fan! -I turn off the car with the radio, ignition, switch on the radio or the stream from the Eifon again at the next start of the car. So I mean really. The sound is to be heard immediately about the boxes. But I don’t want to and can’t understand it. Have all the settings looked through but can’t find it. -How can I see in the sense, when e.g. the brakes down, the next HU is attached or how the oil level is? The dealer said it will be displayed when it is. But in the Volvo on call you can also see it on the iphone! But what do Kd. without Volvo on call? Otherwise everything is understandable. Thank you very much.

  • Consumption V60 DRIVe

    Hello the V60 DRIVe is stated in the brochure with 4.5 Ltr. consumption. That this will probably be hard to achieve in practice is actually clear to me. With fuel monitor, however, consumptions of some over 7 liters are! Even a D3 comes out with less. What do the experiences here in the forum with the DRIVe look like? Oh yes, at Heico there is a power kit for the DRIVe – after that it consumes also much more. Did always that if there is more torque, it is less acidic??? Thanks and Gruss Stephan

  • Volvo’s own tuning soon available?

    Hello, I was interested in a Heico tuning. Unfortunately, this does not allow my leasing. Now I have learned that there will probably soon be something on the subject of tuning from Volvo. The dealers will probably be informed about this in the next weeks. My current information is that then the dealers themselves can program a volvo-own tuning on the engine control unit. Does anyone know about this any more? My leasing generally does not allow chip tuning for warranty and wear reasons (da Full Service Leasing). Could a volvo-own tuning be an exception, since certainly under warranty and with comparable wear? Generally, in the D5 AWD, which I have more performance possible, what MJ2012 proves (215 hp). There is indicated in the sprint from 0 to 100 7.6 seconds. Half a second less than in the 2011-er. Greeting Andi

  • Engine control unit D3 defective after 67000 km!

    Hello Volvisti, I have the problem that my XC60 with D3 in cold condition is extremely buggy; it jerks enormously and needed more 2500 u/min to drive at all reasonable. So I was friendly and troubleshooting. Well, after almost a week the diagnosis; engine control unit after not even three years defective; km 67000. I should participate with 740€ (40%). I was regularly during the inspections and the manual free burning of the soot particle filter at the beginning of the year by sch… Diesel I also had it done in my home volvo workshop. So I find that very happy. Why buy a more valuable car if it breaks faster than my Mondeo ten years ago?! Has anyone ever had similar experiences? Best regards from Berlin Marc

  • Engine control lights

    Hello Leude.. Had a ride to Hanover the other day.. Incl. passenger from Blabla Car.. When I picked up the first one from Cologne at once the engine control light lit up (see picture center) and was permanent.. On the back and back drive.. My screwdriver said that was not so dramatic, had to do with the engine control.. It might be that the moose has some other emission values, but I could continue driving… Then I also arrived again… I did not feel that the running behaviour of the engine, or at the consumption has changed.. Only the climate worked quite sporadic on the ride.. Sometimes yes, sometimes not… Does anyone have an idea what this could be.. Oh yes… It was a very hot day.. Thank you for tips or experience values… Greetings from the holiday, Stephan

  • Make wiper pot headlights run again

    Moin, in the washing machine the wiper arm was somehow pulled up by the headlight (driver side), probably already the motörchen was broken? Anyway, I tried to get it down by hand and by wiping… unfortunately without success. Did not know then to help me and pushed it down with force… Then gave a cracking sound of itself and that was then probably with the motörchen … I already looked how to get to the motörchen, but don’t see it… is the directly under the SW? If it is not too complicated I would like to fix it… otherwise I leave it easy, but would be a pity. Greeting Gagi

  • More consumption S60 II in winter

    Hi, so 10 days ago I finally got my winter tyres for my S60 II D3. Not quite the ones I wanted, but still Hanckook W310. One day later it became much cooler, and at night there was also frost. On Monday on it I filled and counted: 6,8l/100km. Yesterday, 400 km later, I had to sit down when I saw the bill: 10l/100km! That’s an increase of about 3 liters to the previous tank filling! I can’t explain this to myself by bare or simple winter tires. At 0.5 liters I wouldn’t even think about it; I would also understand a liter, but at the same time three liters!? What do you have so much increase through the winter tires or the cold weather? Does anyone still have so much?

  • V70 Problems with on-board electronics ?

    Hello Have on Saturday resp. Sunday made some “interesting” experiences with my elk. 1. Drive car in underground garage, park, get out and close LOCK at the push of a button. When we came back about 2 hours later, all orange flash lamps with dipped light lit. What could have happened there? 2. On Sunday something drove up a mountain and parked car. Shortly after getting out the cooling fan ran under the bonnet; is in itself nothing extraordinary. An hour later back at the car and marvel that the fan still rotates. Open door and get in. Uuups, why does the air come out to the vents? Ignition key was not yet in the ignition lock at this time! Has someone found something similar ?

  • Geartronic spins- How to repair?

    The search function is unfortunately still out of order, therefore my new thread. My Geartronic recently spins. Either it doesn’t turn at all, or switches like crazy into gears, where it has nothing to look for. I suspect that the electronic control on the gearbox, or the Mechatronic has suffered damage due to the extreme heat effect of the engine (T6). The heat problem has been solved by now, but now the gear has to be repaired. The Geartronic seems to be a GM (Opel) gear (Made in USA). Maybe someone knows who can repair this type of gear in North Rhine-Westphalia cost-effectively?

  • XC90 suspension: Very, very “straff”

    Dear XC90 friends, I’ve had my XC90 D5 since the end of May and now notice that the – as also found in the MOT. “somewhat tight” suspension tuning more resembles a full-blown rumbling. Every channel cover and every road patch is mercilessly communicated – partly the whole car wobbles. That can’t be wanted with a travel car like this, right? Who has similar experiences? Thank you in advance.
