What an experience! This week I was at an ADAC driving safety training. And I come back completely terrified about my XC 70 model year 2014, hand circuit. I was on the test site with colleagues. Everyone in his car. From the X1 via Smart, Peugeot 508, Beetle, Skoda Yeti TV, Mazda, A class everything was there. The vehicles were all between four months and four years old. In principle I was very far behind with all tests. of course, I let a colleague drive to rule out that it is up to me. Same result. Also the ADAC man was very surprised. He controlled my tyres, the profile was ok. However, he noticed that my winter tyres from Pirelli (original of Volvo) are two years older than the vehicle itself. (They were probably already a bit around Volvo.) Without ESP, the vehicle went even further. This was fun, but I don’t feel so safe in my safe car anymore. Has anyone had similar experiences? Has someone with another tire been in a driving safety training? Greetings AussiUTE

Dear Volvo drivers We have been driving an XC70 D4 AWD for a year now. Since it is my first modern diesel I have a small question for you: when does the partkeil filter regenerate? The car is EZ Nov 2014, was then a demonstration car and went to us at the beginning of March 2015 with almost 6000km. Now the car has about 20,000km on the speedometer. Up to now, the particle filter has never regenerated. Are these so long intervals or has something been done with the service? I have to worry about something. ? Otherwise the car is a lot of fun. Exception is the soft chassis, our V50 is much harder which usually speaks for the XC70. But as soon as it goes on holiday – with child and cone – so roof box and possibly wheels on the back, then the car literally flips over each shaft and tilts through the Kurevn. Like a Citroen DS. Since it is the standard comfort suspension, you can probably do nothing. Maybe it helps something to change from the 16 inch rims to 18? h at least let the car get a little harder – although the chassis remains (too) comfortable-oriented of course… sometimes we as a driver on curvy mountain roads slightly bad. I don’t know that from the V50 or the S40 (predecessor of the XC70) at all. Achcja, the same roof box and bike carrier on the V50 force it also relatively into the knees but the V50 never became a “hollywood swing” 🙂 Good driving, love greetings to the elk and thank you for tips on the particle filter in the vo Out Peter

One year is over, the first inspection is done. Cost a good 190 euros. Running performance slightly over 10,000 km. An unscheduled pit stop due to a bent hose of the wiper system. Sound problem (tone came only after about 60 sec) was fixed during the inspection by an update. Does not occur any more. Recently the message: Volvo On Call maintenance was required. But disappeared again. Engine and gearbox of the finest. Everything very quiet. Performance satisfied if you want it and want it from time to time ic h. The automatic switches very quietly, you hardly notice it. Consumption strongly dependent on the driving mode. With normal stress approx. 8 – 9l. It can also be done under it, but also loosely over it. ACC and AHB never again without. One of the best inventions. Nice how reliable it works. BLIS and CTA also do not want to miss, has saved me often already, especially in narrow gaps. Seat and steering wheel heating very effective, if the heater is not used sometimes. Not because the moose is in the garage. Otherwise, the floor heating reliably performs its service. Front disc heating was unfortunately not often used. The electric tailgate a nice toy, but nice. PDC in front and back in connection with the rear camera indispensable. The adjustable steering is on medium and has never been adjusted. Luckily, was not so expensive. Audio system: Premium sound with subwoofer sounds awesome. DAB is also very good, if the reception d a is. Touringfahrwek still quite tight in connection with the 18 customs officers. In winter a bit more pleasant. Voice control, if you master it, very good. Navigation once bucked. Road to new, happened on the Baltic Sea. There was a little unrest. Traffic sign detection actually good, even electronic boards no problem. Only the thing with the place signs really should be improved. Oh yes, start stop is almost always switched off. On off, on just in the city n I learned to drive in the lane again through the lane support. Seats excellent, just typical Volvo. Composite glass already has a soundproofing effect. Internet connection via the additionally inserted Sim with the browser from Volvo very slow, so only in case of an emergency. The black varnish is very care-free, but always an eye-catcher. The Keyless go, simply comfortable, never without. Digital instrumentation, you get used to it quickly. I would never have thought to give up the “hands mode”. The seller should keep right – performance mode. So enough of the swarming. We are completely satisfied and would do it again. Every ride a pleasure. But now he stays for 14 days – vacation. I also know what the first thing will be when we come back… But with the help of the app you can see if he is waiting nicely in the garage.

Hello together, can someone give me a tip which sport exhaust sounds good at the S60T6 AWD? Shouldn’t be too loud or roaring. Any experiences? Greetings Florian
