Which maximum wide tires are approved as standard on the XC90 (without further bodywork)? And how does this work with the combination with track-widening/distance discs (e.g. 30 mm)? Thank you for your tips.

I’ve been driving an S60 T5 since the end of 2002. Actually, after about 75,000 km, I’m fully satisfied with the car. The only nerve for me is the size of the trunk. When it comes to transporting something bigger, I prefer to go back to my wife’s Gulf. So I love the V70 T5. Since a new Volvo dealer opened up in my city two weeks ago, I thought: ask for current conditions and, if necessary, for opening offers. First shock: value of my car (absolutely top maintained): 15TEuronen (dealer purchase price) – purchase price about 45TEuronen – well: you have to live with it if you buy a new car. Second shock: financing offer of Volvobank: 7,29 % effective annual interest rate Are those because of the madness? Do the buyers want to gruesome themselves. We expect in about one year with a new model and then these conditions. There is BMW currently at 5er cheaper. Has someone financed recently at Volvo and will get better conditions? I would not be able to buy it over 250.

The current car image warns against the chip tuning of diesel engines. A VW Golf TDI with 140 hp (probably PD) was tuned by several suppliers. All tested devices were in common that engine and particle filters were heavily loaded. In two cases, the soot output was twice as high as in the series car, which destroys the filter permanently. Also on the exhaust turbocharger too high temperatures arose, which can lead to engine damage. So nevertheless “Finger away from diesel chipping” ??? Greeting Roland, who is still not sure whether he should let his future XC90 D5 with Heico chipping…

Hello forum, today I have to get rid of my impressions of the S40. Have an S40 monumentum as a replacement for my S60. First impression: that’s small… Second impression: I wouldn’t have thought that this is so small… positive: – large trunk – very good steering – good suspension, very agile – no clapping – good engine sound (2.4) – good legroom at the back – relatively quiet – hardly wind gypsy – good switches, levers and buttons – good automatic negaiv: – very narrow – miserable shelves at the front – catastrophic sound system, no sound tones – too short seats – too loud blower – no isofix – very small boot opening – interior design contradictory (my opinion) – cheap material for the dashboard – middle armrest too deep placed – engine sounds stronger than it is – too high consumption for the driving performance Conclusion: too small, too weak and incomplete interior design … I needed to get rid of… lg dipsy
