  • How much kuga is in the XC60?

    Yesterday I had the opportunity to drive several Ford Kugas. I asked myself what kind of matches there are with Kuga and XC60!? By the way, the Kuga drives well and also made a good impression on the workmanship. However, it is a class under the X3, which the XC60 shouldn’t be. When I think of my XC90, with which I was very satisfied, I still spontaneously think of the suspension of the Kuga, which really convinced me. Volvo would do well to take it from the Kuga. Not too hard, but still sporty to move. Greeting Martin

  • Rearview camera with built-in 360 ° camera

    Hello, I recently bought a used XC60 with a built-in 360° camera. Now I have a question about the rear camera. I often get the car with the four camera symbols when inserting R and then I select the camera at the rear accordingly. I get a split screen from camera view (to the rear) at the bottom of the screen and in the upper part of the screen the car is shown with the distance sensors. But now it happened from time to time that I also got the rear camera in full screen mode directly when driving back. And I have not yet understood or can find out how I can adjust this or influence it. I also did not find a corresponding hint in the operating instructions or in the forum. The entire software levels of the car should actually be up to date. I would have liked to have the back camera in full screen mode as a standard setting when inserting R and if necessary I would switch to the 360 degree camera. The distance warnings for the rear are also displayed as a beam in the camera view. So I don’t need the split screen in this case somehow for your help.

  • XC90, 18″ with track plates or yet 19″, the agony of choice……

    Or: How I burned money within four weeks… .. When we bought our XC90, he had already bought a Heico sports suspension with lowering, but the registered 20″ Heico Evolution were unfortunately not there. Instead we had 18″ Atlantis for the winter and 19″ Vulcanis for the summer. With the 19″ that was OK, but with the 18″ that looked a bit funny, especially on the rear axle. I bought then in January this year track plates from Eibach and see there, VA 2x25mm and HA 2x30mm have already helped clearly there. The TÜV had justified objections to take the plates for 19″ off, but at the 18″ it was not a topic and led to the desired success. Some € later then the drama. A top offer for new 19″ Volvo rims (pictures follow) with new Pirelli winter bikes. I simply couldn’t change and decided. My tyre costs will rise and snow chains will officially not drive, but for it is a uniform size of 18″ of the winter tires and the signs of 19″ and the signs of the big ones in the summer.

  • Volvo V70 Bj 2001 – buzzing at speed 2000 – Does anyone know advice?

    Hello! I recently have a Volvo V70, automatic/petrol 140 hp. It drives full power, new TÜV, checkbook tiptop. What bothers me, however, is a loud buzzing at speed 2000, this “murmur” is annoying and the accelerator pedal is also slightly vibrating. The noise only occurs when I give gas and only in the 2000 speed range – and not when it just rolls or I take the foot off the gas. Everything in all is a fault diagnosis complex and in the workshop also expensive, because it can be “everything”. Does anyone know advice, is there experience? Similar problems? Diagnostics? Thank you very much for your help! Clea

By the way, we have a roof box and carrier by the way also: Thule Pacific 700 in black Alu roof rack also from Thule (757 + 861) LG Nadine

  • Have emblems painted black or what do you think?

    Hello guys, I have a taste question: I will soon get a 10 month old S60 in white. After some negotiations the Volvo dealer still offered me to foil the emblems in black and the back panes in dark for free. I will definitely have the discs done, with the emblems I am not sure at all. What do you think?

  • XC60 MY2017 (Sensus) vs. MY2021 (AAOS)

    Hello together, I’ve been thinking about buying an XC60 for some time now. I’ve already driven a B4 BJ2023 to the rehearsal and was absolutely excited at first. The enthusiasm ended, however, after the engine got warm and then switched off at every traffic light via the start-stop automatic. This is brutally annoying for me, especially since I drive a lot in the city, in which unfortunately very often stop-and-go traffic prevails. Unfortunately, you can’t deactivate the start-stop automatic with the new Mild-Hybrid model series from 2021 on. I therefore think about buying the older model with Sensus. With this one you can still manually activate the start-stop automatic. I have found an XC60 Inscription from early 2021. Price is not exceedingly good, especially in comparison to younger vehicles. Nevertheless, the price would be worth me if I can deactivate the start-stop automatic for that. Since the XC60 is not yet 5 years, I would like to purchase the three-year-old Sens-guaranty with at least 3 years.

  • Internet Reimport Italy / Country Recoding

    I have an Italian reimport XC60. Dealer is 500 km away, and when picking up I didn’t know that there is something to consider here because of the internet. After I found out that the INternet is activated, in which you agree to the terms of use in the menu Privacy Policy, I found out after e-mailing with the provider/telecom that I can’t register because the Fzg. is encoded in Italy (which also becomes clear on the login screen in the car = Italian home page). Info of Telekom: Car has to be uncoded from the country, is not a big deal. Workshop appointment made, on the phone they seemed to know what to do. Car was about 1 hour ago, apparently made software update. Result: still Italian home page, but in addition now error messages (Dring Service SRS Airbag). Workshop thinks that this is normal, with the update I have to drive around for a few days. 300 km later no change. Does anyone have an info about what to tell the workshop what to do???
