  • V70 D5 – Annoyance at the gas station

    Hello everybody! Maybe someone knows the following situation: Every Saturday or Sunday I drive my regular fuel station in Holland to refuel my moose. Due to my job I drive about 1000 km per week and therefore I depend on every drop of diesel on board. (A tank filling with me ranges quite exactly from Mo to Fr + a small rest for the WE) Unfortunately, the full filling of a V70 D5 resembles the tap of a good 7-min beer: the diesel foams so much that the pump already after about 60 liters “Tank voller” reports, although there is still room for 10-14 liters (even those on which I am dependent). So, what to do? Take the tap back in your hand and slowly gaaanz, “Dröppche for Dröppche” continue to tap until the tank is really full. (free according to the motto: When the tank is full still report me!) The stupid thing about it is that the drivers behind me often react quite annoyed and angry, so that you are almost inclined to pass over for a short time. And the tank is also very frequented on Saturday afternoons, because Saturdays is not only on many washing days, but also on tank days. Even if 80% is 25km per week for shopping drivers, but they have the least time, as is well known, does anyone know this situation?

  • Costs 60000 inspection?

    Hey, I was looking in the forum and unfortunately only 4-5 years old posts found? Since my white man has to be for the 2nd inspection next week, I would be interested in what I have to “adjust” to. What is usually done and what has the fun cost with you so much? Greetings Patrick

  • Say goodbye quietly servus…

    Yesterday evening I traded the (more or less) faithful Dickelch at the Ford dealer for a Nugget camping bus. The motivations are simple: we like to travel individually, the Volvo is celebrating its 7th birthday and with the topic of caravan I couldn’t make friends. After the first 400 km, which we quickly rewinded yesterday, the Ford turned out to be a very pleasant touring car, which allows a travel-V of 160 km/h and consumes under 10 L diesel. With such high-speed-spheres the XC 90 was hardly quieter and consumed relatively exactly the double of gasoline. So the bus really got into the stuff to make the separation a little easier for us. He will hopefully prove to be a worthy successor and second car for my wife. What I will miss are the 7 seats, the great radio and the great optics of the Volvo. Even after 4 years he has me still so gu t fell like on the first day in his dark blue paint, which was still well shot and the dark grey leather seats. What I will not miss are the high maintenance costs, the relatively high fuel consumption and the little contoured seats of the Comfort equipment. If SUV, then XC 90. I would do that again at any time and if at some point still a reasonable diesel for the model should be available, I could become quite weak again. Finally, also I’m a car… But I don’t think that’s why I want to say goodbye to you now. Thank you so much for the good time, the good tips and the refreshing discussions here in the Moose Forum. I’ll miss you! M.

  • Purchase advice XC90 / X5 / ML

    Hello people, I will soon receive a new company car in the upscale class. Which, I can choose more or less. I am looking for a car, not older than a year, with max. 10,000 KM down. Price: as cheap as necessary, I want to stay as close to the 40 as possible. X5 is a very nice car, but also the most expensive in this category. ML is also nice, but suffers as far as I have noticed from various diseases. XC90 Not the most beautiful, but the cheapest with Good equipment. Oh yes: When I buy an Audi, I shave my head and eat aluminium foil with a cheese ruby. However, I have 0 experiences with Volvo, which concerns the cars and the workshops. My questions about the XC are: quality of the materials; quality engine; quality workshops; Did everyone ever have trouble with their XC, or 100,000 KM without repairs here in the forum, or Saudi mechanics in workshops? Courage? BMW and Mercedes keep me envious at the moment (h I don’t want to tell the employees or neighbors that I’m “the man”. So I don’t need LED fog lights or shark owls in the size of sandboxes as tuning. I’m very curious about your experiences.

  • S60 brake system 15″, 16″, 16,5″ ???

    Hello, first of all: sufu didn’t bring me anything… I would like to change the front brake discs with my S60 2,4i, year 09/2005, 103 KW, automat. Now there are 3 different brake disc diameters… (287mm, 302mm, 315mm) Was just at the . Not even that can find out the correct parts on the basis of my VIN!!?? He said that the Facelift (2005) had another other brake system installed (315mm), but not at all??? I would like to have the new parts BEFORE I get the old ones out. Not least because I have the old parts out and then maybe the ones I need is not in stock… Does anyone have any idea how to find out the correct part numbers for my brake parts? BTW: My S60 has been delivered to Austria! Thank you very much!!!! LG, Nordisk

  • Coolant loss / coolant does not arrive in the engine

    Good day, with my V60, year 2011, I have had the following problem since summer: When it got so hot this year I got the warning on the trip on the holiday that the coolant level was low and I should stop. I was first surprised because I had never had this message before. Then I refilled coolant at the next gas station and everything was first normal again. Although I had already seen at the gas station that an abnormally large puddle was under the car. So m I had to replenish it a few hundred kilometers further, already on vacation. I also bought a leak sealer and poured it into the cooling water tank. It dripped further under the car. In the following days it became cooler in Norway. I noticed no more cold water loss at all. No puddle, no warning message. That went one and a half week. It was only in Germany, where it was much warmer, that the problem became noticeable again. I regularly filled up water and drove on normally, because there were no problems and I wanted to postpone an expensive repair so shortly after the holiday. That was in August. Now in September the problem suddenly worsened. Over night almost a whole cooling water tank ran empty. I filled up constantly. But since the refilling did not bring anything, or about Na I didn’t want to replenish everything overnight until I had a workshop appointment. I didn’t make any sense. Then I got sick (cold) and in the morning I had to go to school only 3 km and 3 km to drop my daughter off. Otherwise I stayed at home and didn’t fill up any more. Since I thought the short distance was irrelevant. And then everything runs out in the stand anyway. Well yesterday, I got back up again for the first time (after three days). only the indication that the level was low did not go away. It seemed as if the cooling water did not arrive where it should or was measured. Strange. Where is the level measured. Can there be something smeared on the way there and sealed with it, so that no water can get through? What can have happened? There is also no stain under the car, although I had filled up completely. What can have happened? It is weekend and I can also no longer in the workshop. Best greeting Sighard

  • XC70 2012 Four-C rear shock absorber and again solution for a funny noise

    Hello, I’m looking for shock absorbers for the rear with Four-C, because I just want to have it replaced completely. Found in front stress-free by Monroe, even quite inexpensive. I find nothing for the back. Does someone have an idea, or the part number at Volvo/ alternatively Monroe? Otherwise I have a funny noise for weeks, which maybe already an incl. solution knows. When driving/rolling slowly to a standstill I have a ringing/ squealing with a very bright tone, d I would rather be located in a loose sheet metal/storage. Can be heard so from 50km/h down when the window is open, not depending on the speed or angle of the steering angle. It is gone at a standstill. There is nothing to hear when driving faster, it doesn’t sound, it’s somehow gone. In the heat it gets brighter/squeakier, it seems away when wet. I am 3000km through Norway…it’s not worse, but always there. Places you can’t hear the noise…just come from below. e Floor waves, smooth asphalt and rollers at 20km/h are enough. Before Norway I was still in control at Volvo..they had the part on stage, with wheel load, hung out….there was nothing to be found…Bremsen OK, exhaust system OK…no longer. Curiosities: the same sound also makes the bells of sheep on Norwegian mountain slopes. That was late evening at the hut, standing in front of the locked car, then the time where one starts to believe that the flap is due. Ideas? Beautiful Grü INGREDIENTS

  • Lifetime diesel 2.4D/D5

    I would like to buy a new (used) Volvo at the end of the year. Because of 45 TKM/year mileage, diesel is a must. But: because of the high mileage, the car will eventually die of motor death and not because of other “diseases”. Here are my questions: a) Which of the engine variants of the 2.5 litre engine (130? 163 180 hp) would you trust the greatest mileage? Since it is always the same engine in principle, one might think that the smallest engine lasts the longest (kle inster PS/Hubraum Quotient, as used to be the 220D with 90 HP). Or are then also some parts designed weaker, which would compensate for the lower load again? Please be so nice and refer answers purely to the mileage / durability and not to the power (“130 hp is undermotorized” of the machine. b) Now BMW has quite nice 6-cylinder – e.g. the 525D. In terms of mileage there is a principle-related advantage of a 6-cylinder engine of the same cylinder capacity compared to a 5-cylinder engine? Example (caution, Laie speaks): In the 1990s, the large volume (2.5 liters) 4-cylinder diesels have always perished from burned-out cylinder head seals. If so, does this mean that the more cylinders per cylinder capacity, the less HUbraum per cylinder and the less the load of a single cylinder? c) Can I assume that the topic of “dental belts” is not an acute issue in the Volvo dies? I read very little about it in the forum? If I could get some ideas from you, I’d be safe, wouldn’t I? Greetings, Arnd.
