  • 4. Advent, Christmas, New Year

    Good evening people, would like to use my 2000th contribution to wish you and your families a beautiful 4th Advent, a wonderful restful Christmas and a good slide into 2011. Our all beloved Volvo V40 / S40 comes into its years, in which it is either retired or comes as an inflated T4 200 hp racing car. The prices have fallen partly below the 1K Euro limit, which has affected the driver’s crew. The questions about M3 exterior mirrors, sports exhaust, steam wheel tuning and “multi-car value is” audio equipment have increased. This year, despite another accident-free year, my insurance premium has risen, which will probably continue to do. In this sense, Solong B PS: The V40 was and remains a classic, a feast for all the Volvo lovers: It should not take anyone the above lines personally, let alone a discussion about the written one. Just wanted to report my main greetings and greetings.

  • A pen against fixed doors!

    Hello dear elk! I recently saw something super great in a channel on German television! You buy a fat lipstick for the cold season in the supermarket. If it is possible, it should be nice and wide for big lips. Now it is still cremated in the parking lot of the super brand, all the rubbers of the doors and rams of the V40 with this lipstick. Very important, it must be in the day and in the night plus degrees, otherwise the lipstick does not help! If it gets cold again, so below zero you get all doors open. Is a great thing and saves money. When the door seals tear, it costs really money. Nice greetings from DOS6.2

  • V70 Drive – Turbo broken

    Hello, I have a V70 drive since 02/2010. In April 2011 (23,000 km) suddenly a whistle was heard while taking the gas, apparently turbo broken, turbo changed on warranty and whistles was gone. Now (35,000 km) occasionally the same whistle appears again. Last Friday the car was therefore in the workshop, today came a call from the dealer. After consultation with Volvo the diagnosis is to change turbo again, should be done in 2 weeks. Does anyone know the problem or shows up more often (according to my dealer they have never had this before, neither with the V70 nor with the other models) ? From February the guarantee is over, I then have no desire to have the turbo replaced at 6-month intervals. How would you approach the topic, has someone from Kulanz already received a warranty extension to a certain part? Thanks in advance for all the answers.

  • Purchase advice : S80 3.2 AWD

    First of all, a friendly Hej in the round, I’ve been driving a Saab 9-5 2.3T limousine for 10 years now. Due to the sad economic situation of my brand, I’m going to have to find another brand in the future! And since there’s no combo in question for me, I’ve become aware of the S80II. After I didn’t like the first version at all, I’m very impressed by the timeless elegance of the current version. Now I have no experience with Volvo at all. Therefore, I would like to give me some help. To make it quite concrete: I’ve taken a S80II 3.2 AWD into consideration, MY09. What about the experiences with the machine so far. What consumption values can be achieved in this configuration (automatik, all-wheel). My Saab Turbo is very reasonable, in the summer as well as in the winter, I’m driving at 8,5-9,0 liters, and on the BAB also i.d.R. only a travel tempo of 160 km/h Zug. I’m really good at the Retrigger, I’s over 180 km/over.

  • V60 with 2 mobile phones: Bluetooth does not connect automatically

    Hello people! I have the following problem: Our V60 is used alternately by my wife and myself, I have a Windows Phone (Samsung Omnia 7) my wife has an Android (Samsung Galaxy). The Bluetooth connection works perfectly in itself, if the device is connected once. The only problem is that I have to make the connection manually every time my wife has driven the car before, and was connected to her mobile phone. My V60 is searching nicely for “previously connected devices”, but finds nothing. I have to go into the Sensus menu myself and select my Omnia 7 from the list, then it is perfectly connected. Of course Bluetooth is activated on the mobile phones, but that’s also true. I can’t find any other adjustment options that you can so google (hook at “authorized connection” etc.). Meanwhile, it’s very annoying already when I forgot to connect again and when the ride is called. Either you don’t answer or you have a security problem… Does someone have a different idea than to take away my wife’s mobile phone?

  • Purchase advice Volvo C30 2.0D

I would like to show you the offer we have been looking for and hope you can help me with something about the price, equipment and quality of the C30 in general. It’s about this offer: http://www.autoscout24.de/Details.aspx?id=v3aesk31jzd4 Short to the driving profile: He drives about 90km (45 per track) daily to work. Of this a large share highway. We live on the country and on the WE mainly land road is driven. The engine does not have to be a rocket, but should also have enough reserves.

  • Brake pads down front after 60000km ?

    Hello you, just my 18 month old elk is at the 60000 inspection. just he called and meant the brake pads you have to change in front. it was however no wear-warning lamp on or something. Not that I am standing on the brake now like a madman (yes, I know the accelerator is right) but I had a stone between brake pad and disk a week ago. That squealed and cracked like a sow, but after a short return drive the noise disappeared like it had come. Could it be that the pads got something? did not notice anything while driving before. I’m curious what the original VOLVO coverings cost. That is in Luxembourg it has only 15% VAT. has someone experience what the 60000 costs? oil I brought myself thank you in advance for your answers Grusss from Luxembourg

  • My new V40 – First reviews

    Now I have found my new car with your energetic support and wanted to let you all participate in my first impressions in everyday life. Unfortunately, I have not been able to drive much with it yet, because I only get my winter bikes on Monday or Tuesday, and it is not really possible here in Berlin to ride around with summer tires. The few rides that I have made yet, have convinced me completely that I have made the right decision. I am most attached to the nevertheless quite immense performance of the 1.8 engine, connected with an almost silent glide away, which I had not experienced so far. Clutch and gear feel like new, it can be switched on softly and drive on. The seating comfort is a completely new experience for me, which up to now mainly VW Polo, Golf and Fiat Doblo has driven. Even the fact that one has a lumbar support, has surprised me very positively. Also with the sound I am more than satisfied, not even the retrofitted Pioneer speakers in the polo have passed there. The only disadvantage so far is the fact that I have not yet improved the speed of winter, but I still have improved the speed of the snow.

  • Engine/gear squeaks

    Hello, just come from a ride of 120km, of which 90km highway. Now I’m driving to my parking lot, let the window down and hear this squeak. Sound first like the brakes, which can squeak a bit while grinding slightly, but the noise did not disappear in the stand either. bonnet on – the noise does not come from the passenger side of the engine, where the belt drives the aggregates and also the timing belt runs, but from the driver side, it can’t be located more precisely. On the engine it’s also quite loud, the running noise drowns clearly. If I give some gas, it disappears from about 1500 rpm. This has occurred once before after a long distance, but not every time. Does one of you have an idea? V40, Bj. 98, 1.8 85KW
