  • New purchase/annual car

    Hello to all V60 drivers, I would like to buy a V60 D5 and would like to ask you in advance if anyone has any everyday experiences and comparisons between VAG and V60 Geartronic? Are there any other peculiarities that a V60 brings with it? How does it look with the soot particle filter for example? Power of trouble? With VW/Audi you can hear and read about it everywhere… Is there something else that you absolutely have to keep in mind with the annual car?

  • XC 90 – the first 3,000 km

    XC 90 D5 with manual transmission Hello friends, so now I have the first 3,000 km with my brand-new XC 90 (D5) steering wheel behind me. Conclusion: I still like to ride it – a wonderful SHIP for cruising. Although I often like to go quickly (driving otherwise still a SLK) I like the WANDERDÜNE Grosselch. If it rolls once, then it stops. Statistical data in short form: Consumption: the first 2,000 km cut 9.5 the last 1,000 km 8.2 liters !! – Okay, I live in the country and drive little city traffic, but often highway. VMAX : 198 km/h according to Navi! – There you can’t complain – although above 185 hardly anything is possible. Acceleration: Wanderdune – jeder Smart or Twingo is faster – the first two gears are EXTREM short, since I don’t get out of the shifting again – tip for cityrs: AUTOMATIC processing – a middle measure – that’s not a class. Even the X3, the material weakness is not told to be compact, but the rides still be quiet.

  • My first Volvo

    Hi I sold my Honda CRV after 4 years and bought the Volvo V50 Edition with even more krimms kramms (that was so)(new),which I get next Thursday,the Honda had no defects and was converted natural gas,but soon the change would have been on anyway,then the volvo dealer came up with one very much and now it’s just like that. In the beginning the 2008 models come anyway and so I could get the 2007er quite well,I had played with the idea to convert it to autogas,only then the guarantee would be gone and that with a new car??? Erdagas because of the increased space requirements rather not come back and I do in the year about 13000km,so not the hit,gibs such a retrofitter,which takes the guarantee on the engine there? I hope that the car runs well,is a 1.8er with 125Ps,that is enough in the city. Greet benno1969

  • S40 “R-Design” ?!

    According to the catalogue, the S40 will be available as “R-Design” from autumn 07: “The R-Design leans on the legendary R-models and includes specially designed 17 inch light alloy rims, body kit, unique R-Design upholstery, steering wheel with aluminum inserts and other great details”. Anybody knows anything about it or even better: Are there any pictures ??? Gruss $id (which probably postpones his wish for a MY08 still a bit…)

  • Volvo V50 2.0D LMM?

    Volvo V50 2.0D problem with accelerating LMM? recently bought me a volvo v50 2.0d and is basically satisfied. only I have a problem: if I accelerate (from approx. 2000/min) he does not take the gas again and so on. the most I notice it from 2000 – 3000/min. the consumption is also approx. 8.0 l. that is too high for me. has someone also this problem and what can I do? I was in the workshop – but they did only a software diagnosis and “naturally” found nothing. with my previous car a golf tdi I had the same problem – because it was the air volume meter (air mass meter – lmm).

  • Volvo leasing rates extremely attracted or fat discounts?

    Just scared me when I configured an XC 60 as a company car on the Volvo side for an acquaintance. The basic price of the car was absolutely ok, but then the leasing rates – omg! Do they turn on the bike? So immediately my 1.5 year old XC 60 is identically configured and compared – total price slightly lower, but the leasing rate almost 30% higher! What’s going on? Or do you have to deduct 25-30% discounts by now?

  • Bronze chips in engine oil at Volvo XC60 ???

    Hello today I picked up my XC60 from the 1st inspection and there I was told by an action page Volvo. In this story the oil filters are kept and left standing for about 48 hours. After this time the filter is opened and looked if there are bronze chips in it. I get a call on Friday. If I have bad luck then my engine will be disassembled to replace something. Now I find this of course quite weak on the part of Volvo. The engine just one year old and already let it disassemble? What would you do?

  • New purchase XC60- Help rims, color, accessories

    Hello to all Volvo drivers, after a very good comparison with other brands, have decided to buy an XC60 in version D5 Summum. However, I have a few questions: 1.When choosing color we are still a bit uncertain. However, something bright (due to easier maintenance). I have now discovered in the net the following picture: a. color1 b. color2 Which colors are these? As an alternative we picked up the Cosmic white. I come from the vicinity of Gera- white possibly someone where you can watch these colors live in the area? 2. Can someone say what the retrofitting (including installation) of the remote control, the installed stand heater, costs? Since I wanted to check if the subsequent installation is possibly cheaper. Since then you could also order the T100HTM Ferservice which is considerably more comfortable than the one offered by Volvo. 3.What do you think of the following wheels for the XC60?

  • Question to Crystal White Pearl Effect Driver

    Hello, last week I picked up my T8 in o.a. color. It was a service car from Volvo from Cologne. The dealer (Volvo) confirmed to me a paint repair in the bumper area (back) in the course of the preparation (nothing wild). There is also not to be seen. At the pick-up I also noticed nothing else in the delivery hall. Today (after a few days of rain weather) I see in the left wheel box area: 1. A yellow shimmering area above the wheel bar (coating wings). and. 2. that the entire wheel bar is clearly darker. I hope you can see this on the pictures. If someone has a clue as above all the point 1 could have come about. At point 2 I can only imagine that the bar has been completely changed and here color softens come to wear. However, with the latter I see no reason why the friend should hide this from me. Thank you for your help!
