Finally, we are proud owners of a Volvo V70 (2.4 140hp) *freuwieplöt* Our two Opels were already so badly broken, we should have put thousands of € into the rep. and have now exchanged them both for this giant flag ship. The stupid only… that belongs now to my wife. Admittedly … always wanted to have an E-Class. But after I drove with the Volvo … *sabber … tie … lechz… * Will also have one. Since we have to we already need 2 cars. On the Internet you will encounter the engineization of 140-250 hp (petrols) Now to the real question: Which is the best, least vulnerable and not too expensive in maintenance? Search a V70 or S80 from year 2002, gasoline, automatic The 200 or 250 hp versions are already offered quite cheaply. Very probably not without reason, right? (When I think of the Vectra V6 CDI … change glow candles once 750€ … ) Not to mention consumption. Think they won’t be less than 14l/100km. Why can’t you find a 170hp (or only rarely) one? Have they all ended up in scrap? Thank you very much for your help.

Hello, since I am already looking forward to my, hopefully soon arriving XC70 and it is hard to bear it anymore you just drive around in the www. I came across the following, which clouds my anticipation somewhat or raises questions:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyLgYskj-oc Who has experience with the off-road characteristics of the XC70? Would be nice if someone could calm me down a bit and share positive experiences away from the road – I hope that with this clip something is manipulated I don’t understand this language… Greetings from the Frankenwald…

Volvo model change from XC 90 to Xc 70
Hello, have to replace my one year old XC 90 (leasing) prematurely, since I do not get along with the km (contract with 25.000km/YAhr) driving at present well 30-25000 in the JAhr I have before to replace prematurely. Alone the diesel consumption of my Xc 90 at 12-13 liters to 8 liters of an Xc 70 are a lot € which I save. Would you exchange the Xc 90 for a new Xc 70 (previous model edition) with very good equipment or prefer to choose the completely new Xc 70 ????, With the new Xc 70 in m a confiscation will become less expensive ??

S60 – what does it expect me to do?
Hello together, since my company is just changing from Audi to Volvo and I had to order my new car, I made it more or less on the Volvo homepage. (Having oriented me regarding the equipment and total price to my “old” Audi A4) The following came out for the time being: S60 sapphire black, D4 181 hp, 8 gear automatic. Equipment: Summum Packages: R-Design, Business Package Pro, Xenium, Light Package, Safety Comfort Package Since I didn’t have a Volvo before. I’m curious what to expect. (I’m a frequent driver with about 60,000 km/year, mostly highway) Does anyone have a similar vehicle and can describe experience impressions to me?

Audi Bang&Olufsen vs Volvo Premium Sound
Has anyone ever been able to compare the two sound systems? If I am properly informed, Premium Sound is no longer offered by Dynaudio, but by Harman Kardon. B&O (not the Advanced) has 14 speakers in the Audi A4, in a Volvo V60 there are 12 speakers. I don’t think the number of speakers is very important. B&O is certainly not bad, but you still pay for the design. I guess Premium Sound shows even more detail. I myself listen to it, maybe there are people who have already had experiences with the two sound systems. Thank you for your contribution! Gruss, Kuno

Use of flow improvers on diesel on V 60 D3
Hello My V 60 D3 stopped this morning. I came down from the parking lot and stopped at the intersection. Was refueling at JET, ….winter diesel ….freeze safe … because. Did cost me 141 Euro in the workshop. There the friendly one told me to address, Volvo expressly says no flow improver to the diesel. Since someone might have heard about it. Thank you

Spoiled sunroof, material flaws?
Hello, yesterday morning mother XC70 (BJ01, 2.5T) got caught. A slight snow outlet from the roof hit the sliding roof. Result: It is COMPLETE (so really complete to the edges) crumbled; the largest fragment was about 1cm^2. Further result: Autsch, himself to blame (own damage on home land), no insurance (liability, household supplies, …) is forced to pay something. Partial cassock is not available, although it would not have paid either. Costs: First gross estimate ng vom 1k€ Question: Will Volvo glass sliding roofs be brittle with time? I could still have understood a crack, but so…. Statement: Be careful where you place your sliding-minded sweetheart. Greetings Björn

Volvo V50 1.6 diesel ( 106 hp ) BJ 2008
Hello, I need your advice. I am currently driving an S40 BJ 1999 with which I am very satisfied. Before I put too much into it, however, I would like to buy a new / used one. I have taken the V50 into my eye and I am already in love a bit 😉 Can someone tell me if the oil level affected by the recall action, where the engine suddenly turns up….in an article I read, that concerns only the 2.4 diesel?!

Help needed – Xenon headlight adjustment
Hello, I need the help of the experts. After I noticed that the Xenon light throws only a few meters in front of the vehicle light I commissioned a well-known friend to check the headlights. We noticed that neither an adjustment of the light throws nor a post-regulation occurs when we load both fenders with our body weight. In the on-board computer no error message is timed. So the Xenon light up But there is no adjustment. I should mention that a lowering set was installed about 2 months ago. Reading the ECU via the Bosch Tester was not possible Does anyone have any idea what’s going on ?? Thank you for your help …
