  • Vimcar – battery empty at speedometer 205

    Hello, I didn’t come far with my new one. Today, at 205km of speedometer I parked the car at the office at 8 o’clock. At 16 o’clock nothing went at all. Helpline sent the ADAC. The battery still had a whole 6 volts. And that, after yesterday I was just 100km with it. The workshop thinks that a control unit does not drive down. An update was played up. The car also makes an unusual noise. I had already noticed that the 2 hours after turning off still buzzs out of the engine room. Now I got the thick one back home. Over night it hangs on the power grid, closed and with a closed hood and without using the app it drives down with it. An hour after turning off, however, it still buzzed. So the second time is rather a question of time. Weekend I leave the completely standing. Then on Monday I know what’s going on. Let’s go well with my first Volvo. Let’s hope it’s not a Monday car. After the last A4 and 3 months of trouble I’ve not had a look at it?

  • Recharge operation

    Hi people, drive now since 09/21 a 22er V90 T6 Recharge. Until now I could not read the function yet. I am interested e.g. when I start electric, drive on the highway, power out, then the burner jumps on… From the beginning the heater runs with. Does the burner warm up already or does the burner jump cold? On hybrid that would be massively cold starts. With the old start-stop systems, the engine only went out when it was warm. If I drive purely electric, then the heater always runs with or? Only then can I explain the extreme smell if I drive purely electric. So completely I did not understand the functioning of the plug-in hybrid. the consumption is at least at the same level as the predecessor V90CC without Recharge. Many greetings Robert

  • Experiences V90 D5 Maximum speed / Unbalance/brake scrubbing

    Hello Volvo fans! I drive a V90 D5 R design (my first Volvo) and wanted to ask what your vehicles show as a top speed to Tacho. Mine is with 21 inch factory wheels and he even has the Polestar optimization on 240 hp. Basically I am very happy with the car. What annoys me is that it is very difficult from 200 kmh. It is entered with 240 kmh but it only manages after a long start about 230 kmh. Also mountain under there hardly anything. Of course you drive these speeds not often, but at night when it is free and it does not pose any risk then I can run what is going on. What are your experiences? Please don’t tell me that it doesn’t really matter whether the vehicle runs 230 kmh or 240 kmh. That’s not my question. Besides, since I bought always unbalance/vibration in the vehicle from about 110 kmh. And the steering wheel flutters when braking on the highway and it makes brake noises. Do you have this problem too? By repeatedly balancing out, the wheel is not switched from the front of the bike. And thanks to the rear!

  • Full-year tires on XC90 II during summer vacation Spain

    Hello together, someone has gained experience of how all-year long tyres like the Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons behave as 275/45 R20 for a stay in Spain? Some people tell me that you can throw the tyres away afterwards. Is that true? Or is that just fearmaking? I have had problems with the same tyres on my polo for 3 years and neither in the very hot summer nor in the winter with snow in Germany. Ok, it weighs a lot less than the thickness. I would be grateful about lively experiences or assessments. Oh yes, I am a very leisurely driver. Neither extreme acceleration, nor hard braking maneuvers.

  • Oil on valve cover and snoring

    Moin, I’ve been having little problems with my moose lately. He’s just got the 100′ down and “fastened” a bit strange when giving gas. Sounds like a quiet bug engine, that’s what’s really best. Was in the workshop, only that’s so quiet in the interior, that the master didn’t hear that because of slight hearing damage. But for safety, the engine cover has been unscrewed, not the clattered one, and see there: full of oil the thing. Master thought it might be that the vent hose that goes in there is leaking, but that’s something you have to check out more. Does anyone know the problems? That with the oil I’m worried about, I think that something is loose, it’s getting stronger and weaker, partly it’s also gone… Solemn

  • Brakes: Zimmermann and Skandix comparable to Volvo?

    At Skandix, you can order both Volvo Bremdisks, Zimmermann and Skandix. Anyone experience with this? Is Volvo better (in braking performance and durability) or can you take carpenters because equally good? If Volvo brake discs and blocks last twice longer e.g., Skandix and Zimmermann don’t pay naturally….

  • What oil…

    Sorry, I know that the question has already been asked a thousand times, but unfortunately the search function is down. That’s why I have to bother you dear people again. =) I have an oil change and now I ask myself: what do you want to go in there? What do you recommend? (engine is 2.0T) Greeting D

  • Open window with key

    Hi, is that possible with Volvo at all. Can one possibly activate this by software? with my old car it was so, when I opened the radio key longer on the button, the windows opened. At the close longer on the button window again… etc.
