  • Interior lighting cables

    Greetings! Would have a question regarding the interior lighting. I have to switch the front position lights over the ZV or via the interior lighting. Now I have put cable of the lamp on the ground, the following result from left to right (alt. picture) Red-White: nix Red: Duration plus Green: Duration plus Yellow-Blue: nix Black: nix Yellow-brown: Duration plus, switches off when ceiling light is green-yellow: Duration plus, switches off when ceiling light is on. Hm…am not sooooo with electronics, but does this mean that the interior lighting is switched on Mass? And where do I connect the cable, which then goes to the front position lights? (Well, I go ahead of the fuse (position lights) in the engine room) Thank you for a few feedbacks and thought impulses Greeting Wolfgang

  • New assistance systems

    Hello, the new V40 is about to be released. Now a lot of information is already known and here in the forum there is already a Dutch price list of the new V40. I have an S60 2011 with all assistance systems and I have to say I’m thrilled. But now my question: The V40 is waiting with new systems (improved tote angle warning, monitoring of side traffic at crossings, speed detection, parking assistant,…) From when is it realistic that these novelties are also available for other models especially for S60, V60 or XC60? Already in the model year 2013 which is shortly before or only in the MJ 2014. The Sensus has now been introduced very agilely in almost all model series. Thank you already in advance for information Greeting Andreas

  • Help, I bought a computer!

    Dear Volvo Community, I have always had only old cars, my last and most modern car was a V70 I of 97. Now I switched to a V70 III Bj 5/13 (VorFL) and have a few questions, because I am overwhelmed with some technical games: 1. Can the car actually not show me the cooling water temperature??? And if yes, how? 2. I wanted to connect my music to the car, so I put a USB stick in the connection first. When this was not recognized, I connected my MP3 player there. The MP3 player showed a connection and was charged, but on the display of the vehicle was still “USB-connect”. On the website of Volvo it says that it can take a bit of time depending on the number of files. How long would that be and does it not at least indicate that a device is connected? Thank you for your help!

  • More and more noises in the interior

    Hello, I have the feeling that I hear more and more creaked, chamoised and more polished in the interior. The plastic claddings seem to work massively, especially now at low outside temperatures. The door rubbers I have the feeling (although treated with rubber care) stick to the holms and produce an annoying noise with every unevenness, as if it were tearing away. Generally, the plastic pinches on the arm, touch, pull the door, etc. From the trunk cover come also flapping noises. I have so slowly the muzzle full of Volvo. Was already 3 times in the factory saddle because of this shit. It was gone – now it comes back stronger. Do you also have similar problems with the XC60 or do I tend to overestimate it?

  • Swede landed!

    Good evening, I just wanted to introduce you to my new Volvo S80 T6 Executive, which I picked up today. I didn’t create an extra “order-threat” because I wanted to give you a little bit of a surprise. I hope the surprise was successful. So my first impression: Super Auto! A few years ago I never thought that a Volvo was so good. But it is. The glider was doped with the Polestar tuning package to 330 hp and 480 NM. This performance is enough for every situation and makes a hell of a lot of fun, especially because you are constantly underestimated on the BAB, because this car offers pure understatement and thus leaves so many BMW or Audi drivers astonished! That’s certainly quite interesting and makes for amazing looks. Otherwise I’m more than happy with the car – the driver – the executive package – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver – the driver

  • Volvo XC60 Solution for Order? Heico?

    After I have already started a topic today, where I have expressed my thoughts (disappointment) about the lack of performance for me at the XC60 2.4…is this perhaps the solution now? I have read a little bit and stumbled over Heico Tuning. I do not need to order a D5 but rather the 2.4 AWD GT with Heico Tuning on 230 hp. The key figures on the website actually indicate that I have enough fun with the car afterwards. 230 hp/450nM / 0-100 7.8 seconds. That is then no longer such a big difference to my BMW X6. I was disturbed by the passage down and from 160. Does someone already have experiences with the tuning, does my dealer do it on site or how does it work? Is the price of approx. 1800 euros?? Can I order it right away with the new car order? Thank you in advance.

  • V60: XC version? If so, what name?

    Does Volvo leave the market below the XC70 III to other manufacturers such as Subaru and Audi (A4 allroad) or will there be an XC version of the V60? In the next few years, a whole series of XC70 II are expected to be replaced and many will not want to take the step to the larger XC70 III – there would be an XC version of the V60. Especially in markets like Holland and North America, there is a lot of XC70 II, there should be also an XC version of the V60 successful. Of course, there is a certain cannibalization against the XC70 III, on the other hand, many of them might be held in Volvo, which may otherwise be a competitor such as the Audi A4 allroad. The development effort should be minimal, after all, it is nothing but a V60 AWD with a slightly higher drive and a bit of plastic cladding. Only, how should this XC version of the V60 be called?

  • Digital radio no receiving station change

    Hello Recently the following occurred. While DAB reception evening in Frankfurt (V90, BJ 2018, km approx. 10,000) showed display the turning symbol and there was no signal available. I tried to get out of the DAB specification to switch to analog radio. But I didn’t succeed. Maybe I did something wrong. What exactly do you have to do to change the radio or how do you turn it off? Normally you can “turn off” the radio by pressing the volume button on the right radio reception. After a long drive and later switching to the highway somehow the radio caught again. Thanks for feedback. Jochen

  • Advice on the purchase of a C30 Diesel

    Hello municipality, I’m close to buying a C30 and wanted to use your help because I don’t know about Volvo at all. Maybe to my background (it’s always quite interesting) I’m 27 years old and am currently driving a Smart ForFour CDI with 68 hp. Before that I drove an E30 318is, E30 318 and my first car was an MB 230CE BJ. 83. Since I wanted to drive between 80 and 130 km daily I would like to have a diesel again. My max are 14000,- what I want to/can spend. I have now found these two vehicles:Link1Link2 I ask myself which engine is better or if this is a good offer there. Have already talked to the people there they say it is vehicles from Spain that were rented there. The vehicles are completely checked again, service made and everything stacked away. Guarantee is also on it. Maybe someone can help me or give me tips would be very grateful! mfg David
