  • Well …Comparative BMW 520 d touring

    Hello, had the opportunity to test a BMW 520 d touring with automatic. So I had promised myself more… Compared to my V 70 D 3 with automatic better – transmission characteristics…but only a little more – chassis more dynamically designed – shape slightly sleek – panoramic roof But here are the disadvantages, of course subjective – seats – no comparison to the Volvo – interior look, especially cheap decorative strips – space available for drivers, passengers and luggage disappointing – consumption no less, although 1 cylinder is missing As said, everything is naturally purely subjective. But worlds are in no case, rather the normal distance when the BMW has been on the market for just under a year, but the Volvo has been around 4 years. However, Volvo doesn’t have to hide, does it? seashell PS – So it’s clear, it’s waiting for me a D 5 and not 5 he.

  • Question about Xenon and DPF at V60 D3

    Hello people, It will soon be so that I will change from V50 to V60. There is no time yet but I get nervous already. Since it will be a demonstration or annual car you can not completely choose the desired equipment, because it is also necessary to find it first. Have the V60 D3 as a switch times trial driving and I am of the opinion that it should now be for me. But have two questions about it to you. 1. Should one necessarily take xenon light or is the light bulb quite good in the illumination? As I heard the headlight on the V60 should be already very class. Would it be very pleased about experiences/explanations about it. 2. What about the D3 with the DPF? Does it have a change after km necessary for a lot of money, or is the rather maintenance arm? Is there with the engine this Aditiv or not? I come through one another slowly and can not remember it anymore, S….e! Actually that was already. I have no more worries.

  • What engine? So far 6-cylinders from Mercedes and BMW

    Hello, after many years BMW and Mercedes (all 6-cylinder gasoline) we now want to “convert” the 4-cylinder engine within the next 12 months to the Volvo V60. Especially problematic is the engine choice with Volvo. I am used to R6 or V6 engines – quiet, cultivated and silky soft engine run (at the moment in the C280T, i.e. 3,0l V6 with 231 hp). But the T6 does not come into question for us, since it is supposed to be a year car and the T6 is actually hard to get (and in practice I would estimate about – 10l) – durability of the engine (240hp from 2.0l cylinder capacity)? – Only 4-cylinder, probably not a really nice sound of the engine – consumption m.E. relatively high (in practice I would estimate about – 10l) – durability of the engine (even though there are some good ones).

  • Suction cup doping

    For everyone who thinks about moderate software tuning at reasonable prices: … I hear the bells again and make the alarm and the smartest comments about it! … JAAA – I did what and what makes sense! You take a suitable Motronic-SG, breathe the same other parameters/curves/knife fields etc. etc. and install this within a few minutes – here V70 with 5254S First of all: NO, I did not have the logo itself ‘ge-schippt’ – conversion already… really only 5 minutes. From ‘Tuner’ (…the vlt. certainly know some from another VF) I was among others ‘proposed’: – a few not significant PS more – already a little spinnmonent more – in the speed shift down – a ‘biter’ gas pedal … and still a few smallnesses first rides (unfortunately only) today: – expansions, build up no problems ! – spürbar more agility in the pedal – never let’ go like free again.

  • Pop Off at the 2.5 T engine – where and which one?

    Hi! I have the V70 Bj 1998 with the 193 hp 5-cylinder turbo engine. We have changed the control unit and it now brings 0.9 bar charging pressure. From the trigger it goes totally well, does not go worse than my Audi A8 with 300 hp, which I had before. Now I want to install a Pop Off. An acquaintance has the same Volvo with the same engine. He installed a Pop Off last week that absolutely doesn’t hiss. It works on etc. – but you don’t hear anything. He installed it on top of the idler by means of a T-piece. It’s not on the valve, a friend had it previously in the Audi S4 20V Turbo where it hissed damn loudly. Is this installation place right or where would you recommend that you install a pop Off? Thank you! LG Peter

  • Switch resistance on the Volvo V50???

    Hello, since yesterday my ventilation in my moose has almost completely put down the work. It has made itself noticeable, by a smell after “decomposed electronics”. As an electronician I assumed that possibly a transistor/thyristor on the blower control board has given up the mind. But a friend told me that it can also be a resistance. Can someone tell me how to change it, or if necessary send me a disassembly/installation instruction? Wouldn’t want to pay 800€ at the friendly because he exchanges the whole board, if I can just solder the defective component myself and exchange it. Thanks for your help Sven

  • Comparison of assistance systems XC60 MJ2017 with Mercedes E-Class

    Hello dear ones, I’m playing a new XC60 D4 FWD Autom. Summum incl. assistance package to buy. I’m driving an E-Class, BJ2012 with Disctronic, assistance package, etc. The Distronic and the other A-systems work great. Especially the automatic distance tempom is a great thing, all inconspicuous but always present and without malfunctions. In my version also no active steering intervention takes place, only when driving a pulled-through line one is pushed back correct by a brake intervention – quite nice, but a warning would be enough. I have read about the somewhat unfortunate solution of traffic sign recognition. From what are your experiences with the assistance systems of the XC60 – is this a round thing, it works as expected or ends in a disappointment compared? Dear thanks for your experiences and information.

  • S60 – DVD function while driving

    Who knows the new Sensus in the S60/V60, knows hopefully also the new function to be able to watch a DVD up to 6 km/h. Yesterday I was now very often in traffic jam and watched the last Bond movie. However, the image transfer was interrupted again and again, if I drove faster than 6 km/h Now to the question! Is there a software that unlocks the function also in driving mode? I do not want to watch DVD at high speed, it would be enough if this function were available up to 30 km/h, so the classic Stop and Go! Someone an idea?

  • Two toddlers and teenagers rear seat

    Hello, I’ve already searched the forum a little bit, but I didn’t find a solution for my problem. I’m driving a Volvo V50 D3 year 2012, super car only I have to change 🙁 We have two children 13 and 1, now unplanned still a third worm has announced 😉 I’m looking for a car now, where on the back seat a child seat group I-III, a baby shell and a teenager fits as well as a stroller and a buggy in the trunk. For holidays I have a roof box. All other posts revolve around three child seats in the V70 or XC60 respectively. I would like to know if someone has experiences with the above mentioned problem. Would like to stay with Volvo and press ahead of Touran, Sharan, Bus etc…. I can’t win anything from this.

  • V70 I jerks, jumps and vibrates strongly and irregularly

    Hello, I need your help: our 1997 V70 2.4 144PS has run over 180,000km by now. Except for the climate he never had anything. Since he spent his whole life with us, I can clearly say this. Unfortunately, however, some problems with an unround ride accumulate. It all started after the clutch exchange half a year ago. When starting it occasionally after complete domes, i.e. at the beginning of the acceleration, a large set made. This became better with time. However, three weeks ago he started to jerk slightly in the stand. The speed varied between 600 and 1100 rpm. After the next, somewhat rough start of the engine, the engine jerked very strongly and without interruption. However, it was not regular. Over 3500 rpm, however, the rushing disappeared. In the workshop, however, spark plugs, air filters were read again, … and it was gone. Now it started again. In addition to the jerking now also a strong vibrating. It was not possible to get rid of it with an irregular weight of 70km/min. But in the workshop, there was still a good time to compare.
