Moin, on 25 March, Volvo America announced that the V70 will expire with the MY11, the XC70 will also be limited to FWD. The T6 in the S80 will increase to 300 hp, the V8 will disappear from the S80, but will remain available in the XC90. There will also be a change in the case of the little ones, since the V50 will only be sold there as the MY11 with forced automatic FWD T5, the 2.4i will disappear. Furthermore, the V50 will be removed from the program within the next 2 years. (no real novelty). It) This means that in the very foreseeable future, there will be no more Volvo Combi to buy. Do similar measures threaten the European market? Is this already an impact of the possible sale? Best regards, Sascha

Folding in the glove compartment
Hello together Every time I have come to terms with a “weakness”, a new problem emerges. The latest topic: rattles in the glove compartment. When crossing thresholds or some uneven road covering, it claps in the glove compartment. I then looked at it more closely. The rattle comes from the top of the compartment, as if something was lying loose on the plastic cover or getting there. Is this problem known? Before I show up again at the dealer, wanted to I would like to ask you briefly here. At least there is a simple/known solution. Greetings from Switzerland MBS

again – Snow chains for the XC60 II
Since the ski holiday is at the door, I urgently have to solve the topic of snow chains for the D4 as FWD. I drive the 18″ double spokes (235/60 R18). Snow chains are suitable for snow chains. After I have searched all threads here with the keyword snow chains, I am as smart as before. Who has made the experience in practice with which model he can recommend? Some manufacturers (many are not available anyway) offer in the configurator or. lt. data sheet chains for the above-mentioned tyres, so e.g. the KÖNIG Easy Fit, here already called. Then I read here again, that the construction freedom on the tyre back is not enough for this. Also called the RUDcomfort CENTRAX. So, facts on the table. Time is pressing me! Thank you.

I-POD to HU803 + RTI
Moin people, have already looked around the days here in the forum on the topic, but I don’t get really smart from the contributions yet. Since Thursday I have an XC70, find the sound of the HU803 great, but only 4 CD’s and not even MP3 capable brings me nothing. For me now two solutions would be possible. 1: IPOD to the HU803 and the operation via the RTI display (could not control the IPOD via the own display, because too small and cumbersome with the whole playlist and over the radio is also mist, I tried this already with my current Pioneer and replaced the IPOD there very quickly with a 16GB USB stick). Would that be possible via RTI at all? Do you need a specific IPOD for (e.g. VIDEO)? Have now the Classik with 80GB 2: The whole music system out and the piodeer with standard DIN shaft in there. What would be to consider there? Old radio and power stage from the BUS delete, expand, Pioneer pure and speaker cable from the old Endstu Is there anything else to consider regarding the original phone? The phone should also be out. I would then install a Bluetooth solution. Greeting Alex

Battery leaked, then starter broken.
Hello dear forum members I borrowed my Volvo V40 T4 from a friend. He let the light burn all night and had to bridge the next morning – strange, because I had used a new battery 4 weeks ago. So far, so good. After that he drove the car to me, but then the box didn’t start anymore. Since it couldn’t be the battery, I used the trick with the knocking on the starter. Then he went on again, in Question: Could there be any connection between the temporarily empty battery and the defective starter? Is it possible to break something with the wrong bridge or are these completely separate systems? Thanks for the answers! Details about the vehicle: Kombi, built in 1998, 200 hp, 1855 ccm, petrol, manual transmission

Servo pump leaks, loses a lot of servo oil
Hello dear community, unfortunately last night my power steering is dead. All of a sudden the steering is very heavy and on the ground there are oil tracks. Then I have unscrewed the engine cover and have discovered the defective part. Please look at the photos and tell me if there is still something repairable or rather not. If not then I need a spare part. The most important question can be changed yourself without being a car mechanic? Many thanks in the ahead.

Dissolved vin VOLVO QUALITY
Hello together After more than 20 years satisfied with VW,I wanted to change the product.The V70 D5 is a great car and immediately did it to me at the test drive.So 18 months ago and bought a new BE-D5. Just after a few kilometers the computer messes “gas values too high-please service”.Then it started with the problems gradually : Error memory deleted and wait what happens Brake light does not go off switch renewed Return lights do not go on switch renewed Z uheater squint-new nozzle built-in-qualmt still blinker left goes time-white non-switch renewed leather from the steering wheel dissolves-new steering wheel side flasher fill up with water already 2 times renewed fuel consumption very high-air quantity meter renewed seat wobbles with load change-new seat rail mounted exhaust gas values to high-new AGR valve installed axle shafts hit with load change-was glued on CD player only error-new radio installed lacquer quality very bad and j The padding on the backrest of the driver’s seat is also broken.And all this at just 20 000km and not for 2 years.I know the Volvo gets these parts from suppliers but in the end I bought the vehicle from Volvo. My cheerful one always helped me immediately, he has a great service and therefore great praise to the workshop, but nevertheless I am very disappointed about the quality and that at a high car break.. I know what many people think about VW,but so many I didn’t have any problems with all my VW vehicles. Nevertheless, the V70 makes me very much fun to drive and I had to get rid of the frustration.

Limited top speed XC60 D3 Heico?
Hello, at the moment I am thinking about buying an XC60 or V60. The XC60 offers the D3 with Heico Chip, at the V60 it would have to be the D5 with Heico. Is the XC60 really limited to 210 km/h and can not be lifted? Top speed is not everything, but 210 every 2 liters of diesel. I would like to have 220 to 225km/h. The V60 is also beautiful, but only at the moment it has the “Reiz des Neuen” and not a 2.4 liter D3 AWD and is therefore more expensive. Who drives this drive? e Combination XC60 D3 Heico and can provide details? Thank you, little-boy 22
