Hello, I would like to give myself a new car for the first time in my life. On the short list have it the XC90, the Lexus RX450h and the Jaguar F-Pace made it. At the Volvo I am still unwise whether it is the extra price for the PHEV value, otherwise B5. Test drives I am with all, none is bad, in all I sit well and get well clear with the operation. Optically I like the (new) Jaguar best and would also be low in the advantage of the costs but Brexit? Jaguar? Delivery from the FL only from 04/2021. Hm. Lexus I already had, relatively expensive, high consumption despite full hybrid but good car and v.a. first-class, kulante Werstatt and service. With Volvo I have in the past little busy, but in the environment there are three full references (XC60, XC90 and older XC70 CC) I decided not to be too satisfied with it. However, every bad experience with workshops and had to find a satisfactory workshop was found. With Volvo I did not have a lot to be satisfied with the car.

Something completely different: crack in the panoramic roof!
I’m on my way from Frankfurt to Berlin today and I notice a crack in the rear panoramic roof half way. Quite strange, staircase-like shape from one side to the other… Can be grasped from the outside, but not from the inside. Has anyone ever experienced this before? On the net you can read about bursting discs at various manufacturers but I couldn’t find anything from such a crack. Will have this checked in Berlin and hope they can replace it until I drive home again on Thursday.

Switching from Audi to Volvo
Hello municipality, I’ve been driving Audi (2x A4) for 12 years and am currently seriously considering switching to Volvo. I’m actually thinking about getting a V90. I don’t want to get the differences in the vehicle size class (A4 to V90) here. I’d be very interested in your opinions about the quality/life of a V90 (previously T5). Vlt. there are also previous Audi disciples who have had their experiences after switching to Volvo. The quality (optics/haptics) of the Audi models is the benchmark for me. I read many good opinions about Volvo in general, but each brand has its weaknesses. At Audi it’s the durability of the technology but that’s another topic. Are there points to which I should absolutely pay attention when buying a V90 (about 3 years old)? Are there well-known construction sites that regularly occur with a high running performance (high oil consumption from XXX km?).

Why go to the grounds? 😉
In contrast to our XC fan I don’t need to drive into field, forest and meadow to explore the true qualities of my XC, I just have to roll out of the garage and stand in the middle of the real field of my off-road all-wheeler. The streets Lübeck are not worth being called as such. In retrospect I will post photos as soon as the rain has stopped. Lübeck is one of the most beautiful cities in Germany with probably the worst roads. It is a shame. Who can report similar things??? Magni… who is happy to have a more stable chassis

Film S60 R on test track
Hello Together the page with the films has been posted, but when I saw the movie again today I noticed something.Volvo Filmchen Click there on Volvo’s secret test track. after about a quarter of the movie you see the tacho briefly in close-up at 250km/h. At the bottom right a red light lights up and flashes briefly a second. But is relatively blurry there. Does one of you know what that is? After the end of the movie you can download it too. Then you can play it better. Gruss Ben PS looks just after a lot of fun…

Rugging / switching on air conditioning
Hello MT-ler, I’ve already opened a thread under “Motor Aussetzung”, but now I don’t dare to do so. When I drove on the highway yesterday, with cruise control and climate-automatic switched on, I regularly felt a little jerking. I recognize this as switching the climate-compressor into a small Peugeot 206, I didn’t expect to feel that in a real car. When I switched off the climate-system, I actually didn’t feel a jerking anymore. Now the questions: Do you feel something like that? Could it be that my elk needs some refrigerant so the climate-system less on/off?

2012/2013 V60 D5 with HEICO 4-Tube AGA
Moin, I’m about to order a 2013 V60 D5 as a hand switch. R-Design in Weiss is supposed to be. Due to the optics (see appendix) and possible sound improvement, I feel strongly attracted to the 4-pipe exhaust system from HEICO for D3/D4/D5:-) I promise myself of it horne at the hand switch (which in contrast to Geartronic can drive more frequently under full load) a nice deep sound that goes towards the 5-cylinder gasoline engine (V70R, Focus ST, Audi RS3). I would be disturbed if the diesel nailing or rattle would become louder or more present, then I would keep a distance from this exhaust system. I would be pleased if possible owners of this AGA could post a short experience report including sound file or video. Although the search function already resulted in some discussions from the past, however I still have no thread about the HEICO system in combination with a 2012 D5. Optisch I would not change anything except the exhaust system. Rims the 18 of the Ixion would be nice?

XC 60 Inscription ?
After 4 years V70 there is now a change to the XC 60 in the house. And this is what it should look like XC 60 D4 AWD Summum GT color white driver assistance systems safety comfort package Xenium package with premium sound subwoofer Volvo on Call DAB + neutral heating doors and rear darkened touring suspension front camera trailer clutch removable Inscription package leather white sky anthracite Heico Someone has already seen the sky in anthracite and has photos. Since I find the white paint the beige set-up not so doll comes the Inscription package just at the right time. And since it has a panoramic roof the dark sky should hardly be noticed.
