Tip: I changed the front of my 2007 2.4 S40 almost driven and in total very loud Pirelli for 4 new Hankook Evo V12 summer tires (205/55/R16; made in Hungary). The 16″ tires are: – very quiet (as found in tests compared to Continental etc.) – pleasant to drive, because track loyalty in the straight run – with good traction in wet and dry – a little louder in tight curves So far pleasant and quite similar to the Continental at our V50. Question: Now it’s about a V50 2010er with 2.4 and 17″ (205/50/R17): Would you take or not take of the following winter tires? – Semperit Speedgrip 2 – Bridgestone Blizzak – Fulda Kristall As an Austrian my heart still beats something for Semperit (even if they don’t come from Ö for a long time) in the tests they cut off more or less equivalent. The question is now which of these tires from this price segment is recommended? The previous winter tires of Pirelli are a horror concerning the noise of the run?

Volvo S40 Purchase Advice – Engine + Gearbox
Hello, I love looking at a Volvo as the next car, mainly because of the safety aspect. I have already read a lot, also purchase advice, but I still have a little question mark over the head about the engines. The only thing is sure that it should be a petrol engine. In an article I have read that the 1.8 is a bit thirsty about the performance, but consume the 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 on paper and also on spritmonitor all about equal, +/- half a litre. (The 5 cylinders, on the other hand, consume really a little more, so I would already use the 3 limits). Can someone tell me if there is an outsider among the 3 motors, or one of the particularly positive points? And whether there is one in the gearshift or automatic one that should be avoided? I thank you already in advance for reading and answering

How do you turn off your C70II in winter?
Hello to all C70 owners, I hope, this topic did not exist yet, if yes, then I ask the fora manager not to be angry… To the question from the subject, the C70 to II is now not necessarily an all-year car or there will be some owners with season marks. The question is now, what do you do over the standing months in the garage with the car. Does it hold out without prejudice or are maintenance chargers of advantage. Just the battery will probably not be able to clamp off, or yet ? I would like to ask as a relatively new C70 II owner for reactions or advice kindly. However, have a full registration, however, would not like to use the C70 II if possible in winter.

I don’t know what to do.
Hello @ all, I’ve been having my XC70 for about 3 weeks now. I’m currently looking for a way to protect the boot. And that’s what I mean. I don’t want to take over this bed sheet solution from our old vehicles anymore, especially since when it gets a little damp in the trunk, it usually goes through and if necessary an olfactory load in the rear area – such a mixture of work socks, wet dog and bowl of beer – you already know what I mean… Despite the price I’m thinking of getting this plastic insert (Art.- No. 30740731 Offblack, EX0X, FX0X ) from the original – accessory catalogue. And just because of the price here my question: Does any of you have such a thing or something like (original Volvo) in use? And does that fit anything, or is that just money destruction? What variants do you have in your vehicles?

Differences Germany – Austria
Hello, I want to buy an XC60 in the near future and I noticed some differences in the configuration options or the accessories selection Germany/Austria (apart from the fact that we pay in Ö approx. 16-20% more – partly probably NOVA be thank you) There is no touring suspension in Austria. The fitting sensor can not be combined with the driver assistance package in Dtland (in Austria already). In Dtland you can not order an AHK ex factory (and also no accessories). In Austria you get almost all the accessories ex factory – but you have to have some upgrades with us too – e.g. front camera. That there are indistinguishable lacquers now already wonder me no more (in Austria there are 3 or 4 paint colors more). Are these now errors from the online configurator or do the country variants really differ so strongly? I would also like to know the changes of MJ2013. Most of the time one reads KW20, a forum member wrote here he would announce it at the beginning of April. LG and thank you for your help.

Passenger footroom MY 2011 V70 / S80 / XC 60
Hello, I have a question that doesn’t let me go at the moment, perhaps also because nobody knows yet an answer to it (but only suspected). In the new MY 2011 there are two black metal plates with a hole in the front passenger footroom in the XC60, V70 and also S80. What are they used for? Mine says: “I don’t know, I have never seen / perceived before.” Others tell something about accessories, such as trash can, umbrella holder and computer table, which is attached to these metal plates. Strangely enough, this accessory used to exist before, without these hooks and eyelets in the footroom. None of the respondents was able to say concretely which accessories are now connected to these fastenings in what form. So all only conjectures. Conclusion: They don’t seem to know very much about their products. Does anyone know more specifically here? lg d-speed

XC60 RTI-Navi – No voice output?!
Hello everyone, since Tuesday we have our Dickelch and are also super satisfied with it Only since today there is a little problem (I hope small…): The RTI-Navi doesn’t want to say anything anymore! All ads are quite normal, the route is calculated etc., but it simply does not have a voice output. Not even the “route guidance starts now” at the beginning of the navigation. The volume of the navigation is under “line options” to 11, that probably is loud enough, especially since the radio is usually off anyway. Even if you try to test the volume with the menu point below the whole thing does not work. It just remains silent. What I have already tried: Cancel route guidance (deleting route plan), RTI completely switched off via main menu, DVD from the drive, car is finished, 2 min. waiting, vehicle unlocked, ignition is inserted, DVD is inserted again and the route is calculated again. Unfortunately, did not bring anything to me… On Wednesday the Navi worked perfectly, yesterday and the day before I can’t say anything, I didn’t use it. I hope that it’s just a small error of operation, Matt, I’s friendly, I’ll see you guys on Monday.

Heated outdoor mirror “ticks around”
Hello municipality, yesterday found that my left exterior mirror no longer heats. (Back window goes and right mirror also – so fuse i.e., some contact problem – can perhaps tell me where there are plugs everywhere in the cable line as possible error cause? Mist if anything is not possible…. Thank you very much for hints. Greetings Achso, as seen below, is nn C70 Cab from 2000 and with the SUFU I have already seen the contact behind the mirror glass, but there are certainly other plugs to the mirror….

Problem solving – creaking, guns and other sounds
Hello, on request I would like to open a thread here that should contain problem solutions to the respective knarz and knarr noises. A clear problem description would be useful here, the solution approaches and, if possible, a cause research, so that users can discuss whether it really could have been because of this and if necessary even better solutions. Let’s help ourselves, because Volvo driving should be fun!
