  • Do I order my V60 CC with assistance package or not?

    As achon has announced several times in various contributions, I will now finally order a V60 CC D4 AWD GT. With Kinetic equipment, 17″, business package, light package, AHK and a few small things and definitely without front disc heating. bIs here I have no need for advice, because I also had achon a V60 and various other Volvos. Since I commute 130 km every day, I am considering whether I will take the assistance package this time. Especially in winter this could be relaxing. AHCB, ACC would do well. Apart from the various emergency braking equipment. Also with caravans ACC should be quite nice I try to talk about this, what do you think? AHCB brings something in the city and on the AB?

  • Kaufberatung V70 III D5 AWD Summum

    Hello together, I need your advice … Ride a v70 II 2.4t LPG from 2002, which I would like to “change” into an AWD. Now a representative -V70 III from 2012 as 215PS D5AWD came under my eyes with absolutely full hut, but he has already run 180000 km. Most important feature for me,if I already invest: distance control tempomat and AWD. And n bit of performance The car looks great on the pictures,is stock-heeled and recently got the tooth strap new,which I find good in itself 😛 The fun should cost almost 1800€ ,but without guarantee, because of the “high” KM… Only the two front matures have to be new and a few scratches are probably present, which does not bother me… My question: Is the engine for 60,000km per anno older,if it has been kept up regularly? He will certainly have kicked it,as I know the representatives,if they have it rushed … If the price was less reasonable, but the price was not too high for me.

  • Change camshaft adjustment wheel yourself What is required?

    Hello, we just got a V40 Bj 07 / 2000 offered with which the camshaft adjustment wheel makes noise. My husband is a car mechanic at Opel and could even borrow special tools from a motor repairer here in town but we don’t know exactly what we need to replace. Timing belts is clear but Volvo confused me a bit on the phone yesterday. There they told me that the following parts had to be renewed: camshaft adjustment wheel & camshaft adjuster, a rather expensive senso and of course the timing belt. Who can bring some light into the dark here and possibly know the prices of the spare parts? Lg Nathalie

  • Just which one, V70 or XC70?

    Ahoi to everyone. In March my leasing runs out. Now the question arises what should come after it. At the moment I drive a V60 summum D4 automatic with almost all the extras very satisfied. The only thing that always bothers me is the small trunk. Then I was wrong about it. So now the big brother is supposed to go into the house. Even though I had already pushed on the successor V90. But that probably still lasts. My dealer also makes fine offers, because the successor is already somehow in the starting holes. But what would you recommend? Will a V70 be enough again with the D4 and automatic or should I reach for an XC 70. What does it bring me? Through the terrain I don’t have to, AWD I don’t need. He doesn’t have more space. Does he drive more comfortable due to the higher wheelbase or should I even think about an XC60 at the end?

  • Purchase advice V70 New/Annual Wgen D4 or T5

    Hello all, I am currently before the difficult decision between the VEA Benziner T5 and the VEA Diesel D4. We drive only about 10-12Tkm per year, either extreme short distance (2-3 km to the school of the children and at work) or real long distance (holidays, family visits). We have problems with the current Zafira Diesel (AGR trust), but I can fix it myself. We want to go back to Volvo and have decided on the V70. Rather I have decided. My wife is more for the Superb 😉 The problem is, for the T5 there is almost no used or annual car. The offer for the D4 is quite good. Due to the problems with our driving profile so far I tend to a new EU car with T5 engine, even if the approx. 42TEUR (Summum + a lot of Schnickschnack) costs me instead of approx. 34TEUR for a D4 year car. Has someone experiences with the D4 and a lot of short distance and can help with the decision? Thank you and many gresses, Sachsentolz

  • Reaching the operating temperature takes so long

    Moin, since now 2 1/2 months I drive the 2.0 100 KW from MY 2003. As long as I have the car, I try to bring the consumption to about the specified values with an 8 before the comma. My route profile consists of 10 KM suburbs / country road with 3 traffic lights the rest of 15 KM is highway. The Fzg. stands in a protected underground garage at about 0 to 2°C when I start. As far as the facts, now to my guess. I have the engine only at operating temperature. lt. display when I drive on the highway. That is from the garage to the AB drive 10 KM or. Driving time between 15 – 20 min. To me this is honestly for a gasoline much too long. Why I also suspect that the consumption is so high because the thermosstat is defective. How fast comes with this weather your V/S40 at temperature? Or do you still have ideas, what it can be with my car, that I quickly thank. Although I drive so defensively, that I almost become busy with the traffic, I do not tell you about the problem.

  • Reprogram Headlamp Cleaning Xenon

    Hello all, Had the question already asked in another thread, but unfortunately did not really get any further: Is there a way to program the pig launcher cleaning via VIDA DICE so that the headlights are not cleaned when the windscreen washer is first activated, but only the fifth time when the light switch is in position “0”? With me it is like already posted in general so that the headlights (Bi-Xenon) are always cleaned when the first press is activated. Thank you and greeting famai

  • Volvo S60 various questions

    Hello dear community, after years of visits and explorations, I have now also created an account to clarify questions on my part. It is the Volvo S60, which I would like to add to my 18th car this year. And these questions would be the following: 1. In how far is it possible to upgrade the pre-facelift model, to a facelift model? (clear glass headlights, steering wheel etc.) 2. How many kilometers does an S60 usually last without problems? Bzw. till how many kilometers can you worry about an S60? 3. Can you replace the air conditioning system to be manually controlled, simply by the control panel, the climate automation; and is it still available as an air conditioning system, or as a fully functional air conditioning system? 4. Will the 2.4l engine with 140/170Ps be expected to be used with 140/170Ps, can one from experience tell me if there are significant differences in consumption and performance differences between the two variants? 5. Would I still like to know how it looks like with the automatic, how much liter will you consume more?

  • RTI Navi Problem

    Hello to all! Yesterday I have been on the road with working navigation, wanted road perfectly found. On the start of the return trip the Navi drives out again and reports “DVD can not be read, DVD insert again ” . Ok I remembered this topic of course in the forum and today first took out DVD and controlled. DVD looks like new, nevertheless carefully cleaned with microfiber cloth and special cleaner for DVDs. Same error. Now cleaning dvd inserted, says me in the display again “DVD not readable” – cleans it then nevertheless or how do I see that the DVD cleans ???????? Then Germany DVD and DVDs of other countries tries to always the same error text. What can I do now, technically not know me so, so that I want to expand something or also take out any backup without precise instruction. Is now the drive broken? have read 380 Euro or so or how can I save something. RTI is original like when buying the vehicle as a young used, EZ 07/2007 V70 II Edition Sport buy in 10/2009 the same as the DVC?

  • Volvo V40 suspension unfortunately much too hard! Help!

    Hello dear Volvo driver! I bought this year in late summer a Volvo V40 D2 Momentum Mj.17 Geartronic with the normal chassis. During the test drive much to me that the V40 was quite tight however the roads there were very good and I did not feel it particularly unpleasant. Now after 4000 kilometers driven and mostly highway bothers me unfortunately very much. It is a super car in itself but this bone hard chassis spoils the fun of the Volvo completely. I drive it with 17 inch rims 205/50 tires. About a month after the purchase I have checked the tire air pressure with the hope that this was too high. Forgive since it was even only 1.8 bar! As he now drives with 2,3 bar I would not have bought it in life. To a Volvo (I already had two) V70 Bj. 1997 as well as S60 Bj. In 2002 I will probably be very happy about the ride, but I will not be happy about it.
