  • C 70 2.0 D -Vebrauch

    Have my C70 2.0 D for 3 days,so far everything is ok, only the consumption has scared me a little… The average consumption is about 9.1 liters!! (I only let the engine spin up to a maximum of 3000 tours and do not “step” it) I find that a bit much or is that normal???? Example my old Alfa 156 2.4 D I risked with 6.8 liters and kicked it like nothing good… Do I have to accept this consumption or regulate it still down??

  • XC60 DRIVe tested during driving safety training

    Greetings to the Republic, today I was allowed to move my XC60 DRIVe MJ10 on a training site of the ADAC. Here a first short conclusion – pictures or Vids follow if necessary later, because I was sitting at the wheel – my acquaintance took the pictures. 1. Test circular track: With ESP the car was not out of track, regulation was uncompromising. Without ESP already more fun, but it felt as if the system still intervened, the rear never came 2. full braking from 30 – 50 – 70 k m/h with evasiveness and driving through the alley: If you really “run” (the coach called it brake stroke) you have the feeling that an anchor is thrown, no pylons have moved around – braking distances were consistently shorter than with my colleagues, car was easy for me to handle as an untrained full brake. 3. “shake plate” – oversteering with water obstacle – I would not have imagined so quickly learnable. I have done the exercise 7 times – have never done this before – and I could not e with two steering movements the car very well intercept. The higher weight ggü. the other was compensated by a stronger adjustment of the plate. I am totally enthusiastic – other cars in the group had more problems (new CIVIC, C-Class, Fiesta,Fusion, Mazda 3) Conclusion: A safe car – with little consumption (currently 6.1 l) – much power – and Nordic chic Beautiful WE NRRK

  • S 80 II Used cars Experience/recommendation

    Hello, I have a question about the current S80 model. Is the S80 generally more reliable and less prone to interference in terms of electronics and mechanics than an S-Class, 7 Series Bmw or an Audi A8? After a current S80 with all-wheel drive as petrol with xenon and leather etc., I looked around on AS24 and came on very few models. There were 15. The cheapest costs about 20 or 21,000 € with V8 315 hp and mileage approx. 130,000, BJ 2007 and on AS24 also BJ 2007 approx. 30.00 0 € V8 315 hp and from 30-66,000 km Can you buy an S80 with the high mileage or are the 10 or 9,000 € investment better for the lower run S80? Will the S80 become very vulnerable from this mileage or can you say that the S80 clearly, in terms of reliability, electronic problems maintenance costs (not the consumption, but the inspection costs, repair prices and insurances) better /favorable than the above-mentioned representatives of the upper class with d are comparable running performance and are also generally expressed? Greetings bt

  • XC60 MY2010 ordered, getting MY2011 – Experiences

    Hello guys, I ordered an XC60 D5 AWD Summum Aut. in February (MY2010) and now (10.6.2010) got a MY2011, consequence: – Fog headlights are missing (no longer available) – Seat heating Front seats are missing (acc. to dealer was forgotten that this was still in Summum at MY2010, but now in MY2011 special equipment) as counter offer the dealer offered a price reduction of 700 EUR. How much do you estimate the chances if I insist on retrofitting the seat heating (rechtli It should not be a problem I think, technically however?) Lt. dealer is the motor in MY2011 from the consumption more gentle (but used city/country/highway on the first 1000km also 9,4l/100 km, which I don’t find particularly gentle). Further problems: – Parking aid no longer goes after 500 km (beeps last if you turn it on with “alleged” obstacle left front – Airbag control light – phonebook transfer from mobile phone nciht takes all contacts into the XC60 phonebook, there is here a n Limit? now but to the positive: – the rest is top – driving characteristics (with 4C-fahrwerk) sensational, very lively – comfort top – assistance systems excellent, especially the adaptive cruise control is a dream and works perfectly (even in curves) – space in the trunk extremely good (had a BMW X3 before, the XC60 beats by length) Freu mich auf Ihrer Feedback lG Hannes

  • S60 T5 Experiences

    Hello dear Volvo municipality. Currently I drive Golf 4 and want to get an S60 T5 next spring. Now I wanted to ask if there could be problems with the car or if it is reliable, how much it consumes and how fast it drives.

  • Legroom XC90 5/7 seater …and 3.2 engine

    Hello, in the price list for the XC90, a smaller legroom is given for the 7 seater at the rear than for the 5-seater. Is this because the 2nd row has to be pushed forward, so that there is enough space in the 3rd row? Or otherwise asked, if the 7 seater is only used as a 5-seater, is the legroom smaller by the 3rd row folded forward than for the pure 5-seater? That’s what I failed to clarify when I did a test ride with a 3.2 momentum today (g Is it just 1 year old very inexpensive as “service car”=rental car, so from 30,000.- to 34.000.-). He should replace the current V40 2.0T CLE wg. place etc. But not with this engine, from which everyone who knows the great Volvo Softturbos will turn away with horrors. Ok, you get somewhere, mostly so quiet, but until you have reached the desired speed, that does not make any joy. I don’t know with the V40 more than 2* annually over in the 3.2 unpleasantly noisy 5,000 U/m Is not comparable wg. weight, engine concept etc, but with an otherwise all-round superior car like the XC90 I completely lacked this sovereignty with the engine. The ratio practically usable power/consumption is somehow not so good…;-) It will then probably run out of the V8 with LPG, with which I last year at about gllei In addition, we have used up 1/2 l to BC less. Because you can easily make good progress without full throttle or softturbo, with a nice sound.

  • coupling xc90 2,5t

    Hello since november I have now and then the problem that the coupling slips through during the strong acceleration. (xc90 2.5 t 6-speed switch 60.000km) anyway I always had the impression that the coupling is very “partial” without exact pressure point. the coupling was actually only taken one time properly when I had 2.5 tons on the hook and had to drive backwards my court entrance. to such rides I usually take our jeep grand cherokee, but that was just under egs. after driving up (with grinding clutch) you smelled the clutch a little. however, I have never had such problems with other vehicles with the clutch if I had a heavy trailer on it. can you “replace” the clutch or did I offend it irreparably? is the clutch in xc90 generally very poorly designed? gruss daniel

  • XC90 or Q7 or more Landy

    Good morning, all a good new year! I’m new here in the forum, but I’ve read more about it, and naturally only confirm that the Volvo driving are at the most pleasant. (slim) I’ve been living in Germany for a few years, come originally from Norway and am an enthusiastic Volvo XC90 driver. Probably it’s an old boring topic again, but I still want to ask you a bit of expertise. I’m going to leave the company and work as a freelancer and therefore must with 3 children of which 2 in child seat, the selection is quite narrow: XC90 favorite, still, unfortunately a little bit aged in the middle. Q7 Not quite sure, I find a little bit of “La Matina” “Dear a thick car as a beautiful house” Auto Discovery, not bad at all, super chassis, panorama roof, engine maybe a little lame, however from early years also with new Jag Diesel (220hp) and LED backlights. X5, not yet from the inside. Seen, the 2 seats in the back dive what? Would someone of you order an XC90 again, or rather order something ‘newer’. I find the color Ember Black quite cute, does anyone of this ‘live’ pictures? Rather Chesnut Braun or Inscription Toscana again, whereby I also liked Inscription Calcit Cream with Sandstone/Espresso interior very well (but with 3 children?) This time I would, if I ordered, sometimes order Rear Seat Entertainment, has someone here experienced? D5 or 3.2 ? With fuel card, I don’t care about fuel prices, V8 is out of the question.

  • Clear position lamps V70 D5 II front

    Hello, there is for the V70 II model year 2005 for the orange (are integrated in the headlight front) a set that are transparent, i.e., that can be operated with an orange pear. If yes, you have to change the whole headlight, or can you make there? 😉 I find the orange glasses so something of “old cheeks”. Would I be very pleased about your answers. Greeting Pat
