  • XC60 Widening Track – Need your tips!

    Hello Volvo community! My very first Volvo ever arrives next week. I hope it was the right decision?! It will be a 2016 XC60 D4 FWD 8-speed Geartronic. For purely optical reasons I love to give him only a track width of 20-30 mm on the rear axle per side?! The vehicle will be delivered with the original Volvo rim “Lesath” (7,5×19″ with tyres 235/55/19. My questions to you:Do I still have to have a track survey carried out or Does that seem sensible?! Which gauge (in mm) do you recommend? or not? Which manufacturers (..and suppliers) of widenings can you recommend?! Thank you for a few good tips from experienced Volvoians! Tangopaule

  • Volvo On Call at used car (?)

    Hello dear Volvo-Forengemeinde, I have been the owner of a used XC60 (MJ2016) since yesterday. Now I am dealing with my first Volvo intesiv and I discovered this “On Call” or “SOS” button in the sky. A pressure on the “On Call” button caused only a short text fade “The button has to be pressed for more than 2 seconds”. Otherwise nothing happened. Which also seemed logical to me, because I did not conclude an on-call contract with Volvo be. In the “MyCar” menu the entry “Enter Open-PIN” was added in the on-call submenu. As far as all clear and understandable. Today I dared to press this SOS button. I didn’t have a Volvo-On-Call contract anyway and my smartphone was not connected either. What should happen already I thought. I pressed the button longer and there was something on the display with connection. I didn’t think about it now. But suddenly it really rings! Of course, I stopped this immediately and wondered how it was possible without a smartphone and SIM card in the vehicle modem at all. A few minutes later it rang in the car quite shrill and a nice lady on the phone asks me if I need help. One was embarrassed. Of course, I politely apologized and explained the situation to her. She was also a little surprised that these buttons work, although I don’t have a Volvo-On-Call contract. It was then for a while a small SOS symbol is visible in the screen instead of the phone listener, but then disappeared a few minutes after the call. Since this action also the menu item “PIN input” in the on call submenu has disappeared. I don’t know why? And if I press the on call button now, there is no message at all. I don’t dare to press the SOS key anymore. Can someone please tell me about this on call? Why did the emergency call work? rhaupt? How is this technically possible? And where has this PIN input menu item disappeared? Questions about questions. Thank you in advance. LG, Roli

  • D5 Cooling water loss after heart surgery

    There stood up and wakes the moose. He screams at MIR FEHLT WATER, MACH ME. First a stupid face on my side. So far no stains found under the car (except for climate water in summer). bonnet on …. With flashlight (05:45 in the morning) nothing wet. Cool water closure on .. NIX DRINN. Oh man. In the garage there was still a new can of frost protection. Purely with it .. UPS a good liter goes in…. Where has there been stuff? From the work my Volvo-screw ng “We have to look at this right away” . Thank God the PRO is finished, because the moose can be expensive too. So the date and Friday in the early afternoon. Vida says a fan error .. mmmh. This can also be normal, as the tail run is interrupted at low Batt. voltage. CO2 test .. easier knock-over of the test fluid and on the water in the balance tank a light film .. Oil. Since I was first bad. Comment of my “friendly” we have un This morning, your engine falls into a row (year of construction and mileage) in which there are problems with the head seal, head or fuselage. Super At the age, Volvo even seems to do something about culant.. aha error picture is known. Fixing over exchange of the head seal, head or/and fuselage up to the complete engine .. Moves between 3.5k to approx. 8k. Swallow .. since the Pro has already paid off. In a subsequent phone call was already the Fr Puh. Takes about a week. I now have a V70 as a loan. Let’s see how the development developed. Also the Audi machine from the old one had its quirks at the beginning. They probably had problems pouring the engine block which led to cracks.

  • Snarling of the tailgate at V60 MJ 2013

    Hello everybody, I noticed this winter that the tailgate does not use it at low temperatures and for a longer time, when opening makes very alarming knarz noises. Sounds as if Kunsstoff is slipping over Kunsstoff. I sprayed the hinges with silicone oil before, but that didn’t matter how much. Maybe someone could have noticed such a noise when opening the tailgate, and what would be even cooler, someone has a trick like that Is it really embarrassing for my ABM buddies who always smile at my elk from their full premium bodies when his tailgate is opening when jaulting. Is a moose is already clear, it just has to tubes, but maybe there is a solution.

  • Volvo 850 hard nut vibrates/trimmers from 140

    Meals all together; my 850 BJ.95 144ps drives me crazy. At Km stood 600,000 the old bag began to trembl like a chilly dog. Feels it comes from the rear axle, but that doesn’t mean anything. My lack is for 23 years the main professional Volvo mechanic for the models up to V70/2. I have already renewed and I mean new and not needed and the parts are either Ori parts or well-known zub and max 1000km old. Shock absorbers front and rear side handlebars front L enkung complete All 4 wheel bearings Brake Discs/pads/saddles/sleeps All engine bearings also the cushion axle shafts Time to try another automatic built-in, which is not new but ok All 4 springs rear axle bushings outside 4 summer tyres(hankook) new , rims without tires tested for unbalance/beat With 2 other set wheels exactly the same So until the inner rear axle bushings everything is renewed Up to 130 completely quiet, from 135 becomes crawly, at 140 the rear mirror is a shaking plate “At 145 you get the bit out of your face Ach and the vibration damper I also replaced with a new one. I really didn’t have any ideas anymore and well, slowly enough knatter sunk in the car….but I just love it. I bought it with 389,000 2018 and never had problems,only worn parts renewed like the previous owner too. Maybe who else has a idea, otherwise I don’t drive faster than 132…? L.g Olly

  • Change exhaust manifold [850, 20V, 170hp, without turbo]

    Hello dear elk stove, on the WE I wanted to clean my throttle flap and idle control. Since the removal was due to strange disposable clamps, for which I had no replacement there failed, I quickly cleaned the still installed throttle flap with LM throttle cleaner. That also worked quite well. Actually.. Unfortunately I had to find that my exhaust manifold has cracks, because all the black smoke when burning the coke deposits came directly under the heat protection bluff It seems to be tight. So not everything, but enough to get worry folds didn’t smell so good either. I ordered a new cracker including a flex tube, as well as attachments and seals from Polarparts, but at the price I gave up the search for a used cracker. I wanted to ask now if you think there are still important things to consider when changing the cracker. The accessibility to the cracker saw me from above. If you have unscrewed the KAT, you would have to be able to remove the cracker from the engine compartment? A pit for the work and experienced screwdrivers would be available. Do you have any other tips for me? Replacement bolts for the block if the screws are tearing off or similar.

  • Presentation

    Hello to the round, after which I converted from blue/weß to elk, I also wanted to say hello once and tell my first impression after 3 months and 15,000 KM mileage. The reason for the change from BMW to Volvo was that I didn’t share the increases in value at BMW anymore and had many quirks that I didn’t share under the aspect of engineering performance at all. Since it was an E61, I recommend for those who are interested in only two points to google like Krummerriss u Since I found the V70 III already very classy, it came into the narrow selection and after reading the purchase advice here, then it became a V70 D5, AWD, EZ 03/2014 in black, with black leather, sliding roof and automatic. These were the, except for AWD, have things. Everything else like electric tailgate and corner light were no wishes, but with the used car search it is not easy to get everything under one hat. Conclusion after the time, it is a sober car, not meant bad, but it is for me without emotions, but practical, looks stable and reliable. After the running time I was already with my BMW 2x in the workshop. Since I drive 50 TSD KM p.a., I can say that my cars are very demanded and I also deal very much with the topic brand then. You have a nice evening and exciting times here. Greeting Axel

  • Engine retrofitting: More powerful motorization possible in the V 60?

    GOOD DAY! I drive a V 60 D 4 automatic from the year 2011 with the 2-L 163 HP machine, which now has more than 230,000 km on the clock. Question 1: Is it possible to replace this engine with a D 5, 215 HP engine. Question 2: Who has already made such a conversion and can give hints what to consider and where there are used D 5 engines, who installs them and what it could cost overall. Thank you for your interest.

  • XC60 19″ rims

    Hello together, am currently looking for 19″ rims for the XC 60 and I’m not quite sure what there is to consider. Currently I have the following rims in mind:Diewe Trina As I said, the rims should be 19″. Unfortunately, I’m not quite sure how the Tüv etc. works (I read that there is something to consider, unfortunately have no or little idea of the whole thing). As a tire I would like to take for the summer 235 R55, should suffice. This combination is identical with the Erakir from Volvo. The Xc 60 is in black, so who still knows nice rims always with it. Do not want to change something on the vehicle etc. maybe someone can tell me what experiences there are with the Tüv etc. or if there can be problems. Thanks in advance !
