Tomorrow is election day not only political, but I want to finally make my decision between my alternatives BMW X3 3.0d and Volvo XC90 D5 Inspription. I ask you for your experience. I like the BMW of the enormous throughput, the sporty driving behaviour as well as the low consumption. I beat it as a car about 400 km over the highway and consume only about 10 l. Basically I think that the four to five year old motorway rides with my family can be survived also in a smaller car, because otherwise I actually drive most of the time with too much sheet metal for only one person?! I like the XC90 Volvo very much, and drive myself a V70 D5, but am uncertain whether the performance for such a large car in everyday operation is really sufficient. My driving behaviour is about 25,000 km of motorway per year. What are your experiences with the XC90? How much do you consume, what are the advantages you see with such a car? Thank you in advance for your support and advice.

Basically Volvo drivers are probably more concerned about safety than others, after all this image adheres to the Swedes tanks. So if you are faced with the choice: safety feature or rather performance/optics, what would you choose to do? prefer PDC, than wooden steering wheel? switch off airbag or protective plate at the rear? laminated glass or wider tyres? xenon light or design package? Or do you whistle on it and just take everything? Greeting Martin

Dear standing heaters. Did I have the stand heater unlocked for the D5 at Rossi in Desenzano and ask myself now, since the operating instructions do not say: 1. How warm does it heat up at all? Logically, it would seem to me: up to the temperature set in the climate automation. Is that right? Or does it just heats through, without regard to limit temperatures? 2. Does the “preheating” of the interior at extreme minus temperatures possibly also have a preheating effect for the engine? So you do him something good in the winter? (* puzzle*) Who shares his knowledge with me in this respect? Thanks already in advance. wgr

Hi to everyone, I’ve been interested in this forum in the last few days and will pick up tomorrow 16.09.2005 my XC90 D5 185PS from the friendly. Equipment: XC90 D5 136KW (185PS) Silver Metal, 5-Sitze Momentum, Leather Anthracite Sliding Roof Removable Towing Coupling Manual Gear Detachment Engine Designation Roof Railing “But rather a simple equipment compared to so many posts ;-(” A question to the experienced participants (insider) of this forum, what should you consider as a newcomer? Trift it to the XC90 D5 with trailer clutch an additional oil cooler is available? What does this have on it with the unlocking of the stand heater? For tips/trippings is requested so that I don’t let myself be quite so acre Blamiere or over the table tomorrow.

Hello, it has already been written a lot about the oil increase of the V70 D5. Also that there is an update which should fix the problem. Now I would be interested in how much this update costs. I have to say that the vehicle was not the last years with Volvo and there is no longer the former Volvo dealer. So the whole thing would have to be carried out with another dealer who does not know this vehicle yet. If not everything deceives me there was a callback action, this also concerned the vehicles BJ2006? I had yesterday the problem that the rain ratio on the highway has not stopped about 300km. Even after a short shutdown of the engine the problem was not solved. Only after a parking and a 2 hour break everything worked normal again. The consumption was increased by about 1.5litres, therefore I expect a rain ratio of the DPF. The oil level is already just above max.

Hello everyone, In my Volvo V70 D5 185 hp currently 269,000 km, I think the hydro-punch starts to clap and ticker. In the cold state one hears in the first few seconds a dull noise, which I could not yet assign to it. I was at the workshop, and the master told me that it could probably be the hydros. But now I had asked with several, and a workshop told me that one only had to fill the hydro-push with oil, someone knows about it more? Because the other workshops would exchange them immediately and not fill them again. Is this a problem with the hydro-pushs in general, because I have already read some threads? But 269,000 km is not so much, there are other cars that run considerably longer with their hydro-pushes. I would be grateful about your help, because this week is supposed to be in the workshop, and I don’t want to throw out money unnecessarily.
