  • Alarm analgae useful for V90cc II?

    Hello in the round, does it make sense to order the alarm system for a V90cc? In the forum threads there is hardly anything negative about the functionality of the alarm system, so it seems to work quite reliably. What do you mean? Greetings

  • Distance radar without automatics makes sense?

    Hello, I am currently considering whether you should take advantage of the active distance control system in the XC60. The moose is not a sprinter anyway, so that this should surely be easier to travel. The engine choice would be the eDrive. But: The automatic would be too expensive for me. Does such a system make sense without automatics at all? If I set the system on the AB at e.g. 150km/h and drive in the 6th gear, then it will actively slow down. And then the 6th gear would probably be the wrong gear to speed up again. How are the experiences here? Does anyone have this combination (radar without automatics)? Gruss Volkmar

  • Purchase advice XC60 D5 AWD

    Hello, now that I’ve been interested in reading along for quite some time it’s time for the first post. I’m about to order a Volvo XC60 D5 AWD with the summum equipment and the xenium package. Unfortunately, it’s an almost hopeless undertaking to get the car as a demonstration car, with a few questions that still concern me: – Does the D5 have enough throughput? Especially the comparison to the T5 would interest me. – How confidently accelerates it to the final speed? – Is a comfortable ride also possible with 19 inch rims? – How is the sound reproduction of the high performance multimedia system with electronic music? Sufficient bass even without subwoofers? – Does the speed-dependent servo steering pay off as an extra? – Would you rather take the dark or the bright leather with the exterior color Saville Grau? – Does the composite glass pay off? Is a difference to the normal glazing during the ride? Thanks for your answers, Christian

  • El.Sitzverstellung Memory

    Hello, I have a problem with the memory function of my el. seat adjustment (new V70 D5 summum). The whole thing would have to work in such a way that my wife programmed her setting to No.1 and I mean to No.2. If then everyone locked up with his key the seat would have to drive automatically into the position. But if he doesn’t, he just drives at the push of a button! Do I do something wrong with programming or why can’t it work with the different keys? Greeting, Stephan

  • Tank contents of the V70 Diesel MY05

    HI Elkgemeinde I thanked my new moose for the first time (after which my friend was so tolerant and filled up the tank when picking up the new car) and found out that I could fill up almost 64 liters of fuel and that the tank indicator was still in reserve.The control lamp did not burn either.You also had such experiences with my previous V70 125KW Bj08/01 petrol tanker.Thanks in advance.

  • Brand new XC90 with hole in the dashboard: Swap???

    Hello together today our new XC90 (in this model year now with faux leather armature board) arrived at the dealer. Was totally enthusiastic – until I sat on the passenger seat and discovered a hole (about 2 pin heads) large in the faux leather of the dashboard. Couldn’t take any photos yet, the hole sits on the edge, above the right airflower. My dealer immediately offered the replacement of the dashboard. I had thought of Smart Repair first, but he thought that you would definitely see it. He wanted to hand over the car to me and then change the dashboard soon. But don’t take over the car before the repair! Question is now what you should do? The hole with 2 – 3 mm diameter is really in a prominent place and the whole upper is away at the point, one sees the plastic underneath. Not at all would be disproportionate. If Smart Repair is actually not perfect, only the replacement of the dashboard remains. What do you think, can so go without consequential damage over the stage? My dealer sure to me that………..

  • Volvo Ocean Race Edition 2017/18, one knows what?

    Moin, the Vendée Globe is just turning into a gripping finale, as the Volvo Ocean Race 2017 PR is already running warm – the actual regatta is starting in October. Does any of you have any information about whether there will be an Ocean Race Edition of the V90 and when? In recent years the iirc has always been announced in January/February and was then available with model year change (summer). I have to order soon and would like to drive a VOR edition, therefore the question. Thank you Thomas

  • XC90 II stolen – probably Keyless Go thanks

    Dear Volvo driver, I’m unfortunately no longer a Volvo driver since yesterday. Yesterday morning my XC90 II was stolen directly from my front door. It looks like professionals – no tracks, probably the signal of the Keyless Go key was picked up through the front door, Volvo On Call no longer works or vehicle cannot be located. My travel book plug from the Vimcar still tells me that the last ride ended in Poland at 7 o’clock in the morning. At the specified address of course no track from the car. As a warning for everyone: don’t leave your keys near the front door. Put them in a tin can or whatever. Greeting, Alex

  • Cigarette lighter causes plugs to burn

    Who has experienced this before: New tomtom go bought, plug in the V70 cigarette lighter, plug squealed (burns off), new plug fetched (because maybe short circuit in the plug), torches again. What should I do now? Buy new V70 with reasonable cigarette lighter? Consumer

  • Consumption by engine damage

    Dear everyone, I would have loved the following question… How would you estimate that? Since June 21 we have bought an XC 90 Mildhybrid diesel as a demonstration car with 900km (EZ February 21) By September everything was as expected completely problem-free, at the beginning of September on the highway suddenly on the display a turtle will be displayed and warning “Warning, reduced engine power “. Car then towed, diagnosis in the repair shop: a rather pronounced engine damage. It was explained to me so that a pump would be imploded and the individual parts sucked in from the engine then and would have spread in it. Engine then completely disassembled, the most different defective parts replaced, after four weeks we then got the car again. Repair of course on guarantee. Now I have the following problem, the car consumes now considerably more than before the repair. However, now the winter is not affected, we have winter tires at the top, the temperatures are frosty again here in Vienna, therefore I am still uncertain if it is actually due to the repair.
