Hello everyone, I’m new here and have only been dealing with the topic of Volvo for a few days, as I need a new business car. Class forum, have already read some good information here. My specific concern: At the moment with the Alfa 156 2.5 V6 on the road a new car is coming up in autumn. Sovereign of the driving performance and comfortable it should be. I had the pleasure yesterday to drive the S60 R – the car really delighted me. The costs for the vehicle lie all I have a T5 for the test drive today and tomorrow – it is already a difference in the driving performance and the road position. The look on the inside of the R has of course also ‘what – the T5 is already biederer. On the paper the 2.5 T is now quite comparable to the T5 from the driving values – even if the “only” 210 HP has. There would surely make sense then the AWD variant – I have (after I had to use the AWD version) The question is whether the difference of 10,000 euros between a fully equipped T5 and a lean R is really worth it. Concrete question: If it won’t become an S 60 R – what would you tend to do ? T5 or 2.5 T AWD ? (the price is almost identical to the Euro). Gruss Michael

…tja…because today I got a software update for the FourC chassis from my garage for my S60 R….and fascinating: The feather behavior of the individual programs has become noticeably better (slacks smallest bumps even more efficiently and it definitely rumbles less in ground unevenness)….the only strange thing I had noticed (in daylight) this afternoon: the car seemed to stand up relatively “high-legged” at the back. But I didn’t know anything about it. But when I drove home this evening (daming), I suddenly see that the Ablellichter light up barely 6 meters in front of me. Headlights come at about 7-8 meters. I did not deceive myself: the rear of my S60 R has somehow become higher and thus the lights (which are no longer adjustable in height) ignite peacefully in front of me (unfortunately however) (unfortunately but I hope that tomorrow (Saturday) I will find a garage here in the Zurich region, which will be able to play back the old software in an emergency. Gruss Fredi P.S. This is probably right for all drivers, who want to largely do without electronics….I find it funny, however, because I work in IT and I have often stumbled over software jacks (…one deals with the solution of one problem with another…)… Who else has still had such funny software update improvements at Volvo?

Hi there, I just stumbled over this really interesting forum and wanted to hear how you’re doing with the D5. I’ve had the 2.4D since 03/2002 and I’ve been ripping back and forth at the moment. The engine and the seats are still a splendour and still create a smile. Unfortunately, after about 39000 km, however, the augmentations that I’ve summarized are increasing: – The engine heating is smoking with a cold engine and 2° outside temperature like a Swedish sauna. I’m curious if there is someone knocking on the disc with a fire extinguisher during the winter – from 160-180 km/h the outside play angels vibrate so strongly that you can hardly see anything more. Is that the same with you? – When you start you hear a crunching as if a moving part is grinding somewhere. Am I there alone? – I tried the service (web) once and only had bad experiences. Did I get the “Monday” or Is Volvo so responsive with you? Now I’m looking forward to your experiences. I think the S60 is a beautiful vehicle, but I’m not convinced of the quality anymore. But maybe your answers help to push my contract workshop a bit in the right direction. Greetings moxxito

Hello, have a 2000 V70 with the old Navi – without DVD and 16:9. Are there any new current CDs for these Navis? As of 2003. If so, where and how much does it cost? Is there an internal software update at Volvo – i.e. can you flash the EPROM? To speed up the whole operation and computing? Because sometimes the system hangs and it takes forever until I can select a city or street. Is there any way to reprogram the Navi, because towns that of a city t does not know it. There you have to always type the city on the center of town and then choose the appropriate town. So how do I know in not near home which town belongs to which city?? And now nobody comes up with the idea to say that the general education is.

Hi guys ! I’m still quite new here and have my V70 only since 6 weeks, but is really a great forum here. I know that you don’t need sand heating in this weather but you are curious. And try everything out. Now I was told that there are two different times of webosto 30min and 60min that you can see through the display lighting of the timer. green=30min red=60min runtime. Does one of you know if you can change this at the timer k ann (because in the description there is no hint) or whether you have to get a new watch with longer programming times ? Greeting Moods
