  • S 80 II packed in foil

    When I and my Ohl had made us look for the vehicle, it was clear to us that it was not to be red, black or white. Well, and if you are looking for a S80 II as Flexi, then it would be a bit more difficult than planned. We were now about 3 months ago in front of this dream car.With a great equipment and clean vehicle history. It just fits everything. As a momentum praised and bought from the Volvo car dealership, he turned out but then short time later It was just the color, that was still such a thing. So a little look into the fun money box, and yes, it looked very good. So I thought about a folation and visited some foliers here in Berlin and got information. Foleinmarke, pros and cons and of course prices. From Avery to Oracal to 3M. No one could really convince. Color compartments without end, and at the end everything looked somehow the same. ufall on bruxsafol, and their foil series with name PWF. Small color compartments with many 15 colors, and one more beautiful than the other. So we had decided for the color tone ” Urban Taupe Matt Metallic “. Since there are only two foliers in Berlin who are allowed to process this foil, much the decision for the colleague in the south of the city, because very close to the work place. Had to drive again with the Sindelcontainer (bus & train ) So the S80 on Monday the 22.09 left early and d on the 25.09 evening picked up. and I have to say, the boys did a great job. Here are some photos from the middle of it and from then on. We are happy anyway….

  • Backwater intrusion

    I’ve been doing something new for me since I was driving a car… I’ve always been driving a plastic stacking box with tools in the back left in the hold… About 2 weeks ago, when the sun was burning and I crawled in the box, file myself, which was there abundant (so 3-4cm) water in the box. Where the hell does that come from??? I had no explanation at all – not at all because the sun had been shining for days. Yesterday I put a box of beer in the back and look at my hold mat: wet ! And in de r box was soup again ! Where does that come from ? One might think that I forgot to close the flap and it rained in … or someone pours flowers in my car ? Everything dry in disguise, slices and sky ! At least I could not recognize anything eye-catching at first. And with the amount of water in the box the other day would have to be a more or less huge hole somewhere . Moreover it must come somehow from above – how else should it come into the box ? I don’t think it’s the sunroof. A) If I’d already wet the seats and B) the water is in the back … I don’t think it is / can be the sunroof. A) If I had already wet the seats and B) the water is in the back …

  • XC90 D5 vs. V8

    Hello, since my Dickelch (D5 136 KW) had to be inspected, today I had an 8 month old XC90 V8 for one day as a replacement vehicle. What should I say? 14000 EUR more on new purchase is not worth the engine. When accelerating hardly noticeable extra power. Gear shiftinterwals are much shorter and more precise in my diesel, therefore my D5 fills up much more agilely. Leak from the consumption (have returned the V8 with the same driving mode after 100 km with 14 liters of cutting consumption. Sure, the advantages of such a V8 are: quieter than diesel and from 180 KMH on the motorway there is still enough power. But at 315 hp I expected more. What is your opinion? Alex

  • A new moose is here

    Moin together, after far too long waiting time my “little” has finally been delivered on Friday. Since then father runs proudly like Oskar through the area and the junior only wants to drive in the off-road car. After the first hundreds of kilometers I have to say that he runs relatively quiet despite diesel. One hears him nag at first, but that is over after a relatively short time (okay, Diesel remains audible). And after that is extremely relaxed driving is called for. And so that you get a picture of the K a few pictures here. Greetings from Bremen, Lars

  • Are you happy with your S80?

    Hello, starting from the survey for him I would like to ask the question of the questions here. I quote: Quotation: Now I read so often already from dissatisfied … drivers, that slowly the question is really asking me, how so the end user really thinks about the car. Of course I know that in a forum mostly problems and dissatisfaction are discussed. So hand on the heart: how satisfied are you really with the big guy? It would also be nice to whom in you Pro and Kontra can briefly and briefly present here… Greetings Tom (and also very excited about the answers!)

  • Teknikens Värld shows new S60

    Hello, as I was able to read in the weekend at Teknikens Värld, there will be a successor for the S60, which will be based on the new line of the 2009 coming XC60. Unfortunately, TV only has Photoshop illustrations, but they were also close to the V70III. Confidently, the sketches are from Steve Mattin. The S60 itself is to be presented in 2009/2010. What will happen in the meantime with the S60 is not in the article. e TV an: 2,0F Flexifuel (R4, 145PS) 2,0TF Flexifuel (R5, Turbo, 200PS) 2,5T R5 on 200PS “rottled” 3.2 R6 with 238PS T6 R6 Turbo, 285PS 2.4D with the well-known 163PS and D5, stays at 185PS I hope that the 200PS Flexifuel will really be the R5 and that it is not a printing error. best regards, Sascha

  • WARNING – XC 90 hand brake pads

    Hello dear motor-talker! With regard to the actual problem, please refer to this thread! KLICK ME When changing all brake pads and brake discs (after 153,000 km this is completely fine, before only changing over to the front) I could also take my pads of the foot-locking brake in view (I almost never use the foot-locking brake!): On the driver side both pads were replaced half, on the passenger side everything was fine……………….. I recommend to let all XC 90 drivers change the manual brake pads after running performances of more than 100,000km with a necessary change of brake pads and/or discs at the rear.
