  • V60, connect multiple phones via Bluetooth

    Hello Together Can I connect two mobile phones simultaneously in the V60 via Bluetooth and close the incoming calls or can only one phone be connected at a time?

  • Purchase offer realistic: EU vehicle XC 70 awd Kinetic 6-speed

    Hello, I don’t know if I’m right here, but I need your advice. A Volvo dealer in Bavaria offers me an EU import XC 70 D3 Kinetic awd, 6-speed circuit. Model 2012. Basic price just under 34,900 The vehicle is ordered for me, then gets a daily registration and comes originally from Italy. The Volvo dealer wants to guarantee me in writing that the vehicle has exactly the same technical equipment as the German version. In Germany the car would cost according to the list EUR 43,000. The vehicle has the usual warranty. The dealer thinks that I would have no problems with warranty cases with my local Volvo dealer. He also recommended me a 3-year connection guarantee for EUR 999. I drive my cars basically 10-15 years, because I drive relatively little. What do you think of this offer?

  • V-Max XC60 T6 Gear Tronic

    Dear Jürgen, discrimination is something else. In a forum thread to the Volvo XC60 T6 you should only discuss people who drive exactly this vehicle type. You have not captured the irony of my amount. Of course, the D3 and the D5 is also a nice car, but that’s not about it. Rather, it’s about some people giving assessments of technology, driving behaviour and driver skills – in a thread to the T6 – and driving a completely different vehicle type. That’s about as if I write in the gourmet forum about star restaurants and then one comes with a post around the corner that he doesn’t like all this and prefers to eat at Mc. Donalds. As a facilitator you should recognize the irony. Closing a thread is ridiculous and kindergarten live. We’re not here in socialism and my free opinion I now express now in a free country. An XC60 T6 with Geartronic, lowering and Four-C driving station you can now understand the irony. To close a thread is ridiculous and kindergarten live. We’re not here in socialism and my free opinion is now in a free country. If you want to talk about driving about driving, then you want to delete the same thing.

  • Now he’s finally here, my S60 T6

    Hello people 🙂 Yesterday it was finally time, I was allowed to take my first Volvo in possession! After a small test drive (approx. 150km) it went to Munich and back again today (total approx. 500km) I now have just 700km on the Tacho and am just thrilled. The engine is really sensational. Even at high speed it always has enough reserves. At speed 170 km/h it is just at cozy 3000rpm. Also the cruise control knows to inspire… altitude Munich there was a traffic jam (ca. 6km stop and go) – so simply cruise pure, and easy through the traffic jam – the Volvo makes the rest 😉 Really very comfortable. Since I am actually no friend of automatic drives I already made my thoughts about whether the automatic makes me happy – but I have to say that the T6 coupled with the GT is simply a dream. (before all the S-Mode *gg*) My average consumption by the way is now at 10.9l/100km. Find this in view of speed 200 in D and the small stop-and-go Einlage really good.

  • High performance multimedia instead of premium sound delivered

    Hello The anticipation was subdued on the weekend. He calls and tells me that instead of the ordered (and listed in the contract) Premium Sound Multimedia there is a high performance multimedia in it… I have today in the V70 the HU-850 with Dolby Pro. That was the reason (without listening to rehearsals) to order a premium sound. So. What now? I will listen to the HP Multimedia again and try to compare it. Does the High Performance Multimedia instead of Premium Sound make up for the price difference? What would you agree with the dealer? Yes, he wants to meet me (for me a little bit of 110€) on the agreed contract. Or order again? Thanks for any similar experiences and related decisions.

  • Absolute Volvo newcomer with questions about the V70, 2.4T or T5

    Hello dear Volvo drivers. I actually come from the Mercedes warehouse, here especially AMG. Since I completely dismantled my ML 55 a week ago and should now quickly be a low-priced replacement with space, reliability and performance, I came across the V70 of the years 2000-2002. Here especially the 2,4ltr Turbo ́s with 200hp and the T5 with 250hp are traded at extremely attractive prices. In my closer favor are vehicles with running speeds between 100-125TKM and automatic. Otherwise very good to full equipment. The prices of these vehicles move with checkbook car ́s between 8000 – 12,000,- Euro. Now my question: Can one do a lot wrong in this class and are these Auto ́s self-running? What should one pay particular attention to? What does it look like with the durability of engines and above all automatic drives? And, and, and…? I already thank in advance for your friendly help. Greeting Uwe.

  • Volvo S80 2.4T ́01 Buying Tips ?!?

    Halli Hello, there is a beautiful Volvo S80 2.4T with almost full equipment in my corner. First of all the data. The car is from 2nd hand and fully stocked (always with Volvo) 75,000km, EZ 9/2001 and the special equipment includes: Navigation with cd changer, stand-up heating, seat heating, headlights with wiper, parking aid air conditioning automatic full leather summer and winter tyres on aluminium rims accident-free and the normal frills nor… Whether the car still has Xenon and a rain sensor I will find out tonight. Neither on the internet nor here in the forum could I read a lot about the 2.4 Turbo with 200ps. (The bit I could read was positive) The price is at 10,000€ Vhb (from private). What to consider? Vulnerabilities? What is the consumption? How about the tooth strap? I have seen the car so far only from outside, but will call the owner again this evening to make a date. And please no tips like “saving one more and buy the new one, etc. I can save my answers so much in advance”.

  • Deficiencies Volvo S60 R

    Hi guys!!! I’m thinking about buying a S60 R, but I’ve already heard about other Volvos like the S40 that don’t have so reliable or flaws anymore, e.g. gear scrap, engine at 100,000 km. scrap, etc. Now I wanted to know how this is with you and your S60 R, what you have for defects or not. Would be happy about answers. Greeting Lars.

  • New entrants

    Hello James! After a few months and about 10 Tkm with my V70 – as well as many hours as a guest in the forum – I want to introduce myself now. I came to this vehicle after the birth of our daughter six months ago. Until now a 3-door Ford Focus mobilized us – which became an extremely impractical story with the offspring. So it was excellent that my father after a successor for his V70 umtat (he now drives XC90) … At first I thought about selling the V70 (year 2002, MJ 2003, 2.4., combi and luxury package, RTI, 103 TKM) – I was (yet) not really happy with all the details: “Opa-Equipment” 😉 with automatic and radio OHNE CD, rel. expensive maintenance… But in the end a sale would have been uneconomical after all, and now I enjoy the new vehicle class very much! Have also made some adjustments and had the first „Volvo-Endniss. But the row after: The next is also an inspection, then the is the Ision-like?

  • One case for the ambulance: replacement of rear position lamps on the V70

    Hey people! Maybe someone has already experienced this situation: Today the BC showed me the following message on “Standlight lamp def.”. So new lamp bought and thought, can not be the problem to exchange the thing. Mistake! Giant problem! Of all things the upper position lamp of the right rear light broke! After removing the panel I had quickly removed the tab with the lamp. But the installation! Help!!! One hour I tried to put the socket in place. Without success. I could see the lamp sideways in the rear light (the rear lights from MY 05 are thanks to God more transparent). Then I thought, I have it right away. Wrong indicator! After convulsions in both hands and various gymnastics exercises (observer seriously wanted to call the emergency doctor!) I was completely unnerved and aggressively driven to the friendly. He needed a minute for the installation of the lamp. Probably practice makes the master. What do I do on the way, if various lamps are broken? I can’t even think about the change of the flash lamps.
