Hello, do the A-pillars also seem to be enormously massive to you? At entrances and exits and at intersections, my wife and I always have “bammel” to overlook someone who is (or that) covered by the A-pillars. In the V 40, however, one had a magnificent view. Likewise in our old Audi 80. Does this relate to the topic of safety? Is this particularly pronounced with the current manufacturers generic or with Volvo? Is there no shortage, we just notice. I’m curious if you feel it that way, since the forum (m. E.) does not say anything about it. Frdl. Greeting!

Hi, because I had my V50 2.0 D in the workshop today, I came to the “genuss” to drive a V70 with the 163 HP diesel as a replacement car. My subjective impression: bigger is better – wrong There, where the V50 wiesselflink goes around the corners (e.g. in the underground garage) or can run smoothly over narrow, only slightly curvy country roads, one has to fight with the V70 correctly. A step on the gas pedal and the car runs – wrong at least with the V50. With the V70 you have to be rather the feeling on board a ship: one hears the moter turn up, but takes only hesitant lay off of the Dampersteg. Inside is correct place – only partly the luggage room is really huge. At the front the exuberant interior equipment makes the room impression in the V70 again a good piece of unresolved. However, is already more place than in the tailor-made V50. The surcharge for the V70 is moderate – wrong from me. The V70 had not got the sales sign with the radio list yet.

After about 10 km the car starts to buck (not jerking), takes gas only sporadically and stutters. I fled on a dirt road. Car started off again – now suddenly also the tank warning lamp starts. What now – I ́m walking, tatata. After filling in 5 liters of finest diesel, the car started and hopping towards the petrol station. Shortly before the engine goes off. After a few minutes again and meanwhile with rage in the belly, full gas, squeaking tires and see there, the Volvo runs like a one. With subsequent refueling I got 42 liters, with the 5 liters from the hiking inlay makes 47 liters of fuel. However, the capacity of the tank reaches 55 liters. Does anyone have an explanation, since it can probably not have been located on the lack of fuel. Greetings bkpaul

I have had a Volvo S40 T5 for 5 months, which is now two and a half years old.Now it has run 28,000 km. I drove 10,000 km.The tires are driving strongly in front of the car.Something at the back.I had the track checked,which is fine,but the fall is completely wrong,but can’t be set.Who did something similar happen? I was told you can only close a “compromise” in which you can change the track a little bit in tolerance. I haven’t asked the Volvo dealer about it yet.
