  • Color choice XC 90 Lava sand / titanium / ruby red

    I ordered an XC90 yesterday, but I’m not sure because of the color (have a few days before I have to set myself up). To choose from lava sand – ruby red – titanium grey The decision is not easy, because except titanium grey I did not get a color on the vehicle directly to face. Therefore, I am unsure how the colors look on the large lacquer surface. For example, if the lava sand fits well with the vehicle (like a similar color [Bonatti-Grey] good with the LR Di The question of re-saleability is also important. After what I have seen so far at XC 90, the orderers limit themselves to black, silver, titan. With my favorites titan should have the best re-saleability. But how are lava sand and rubin to estimate? I suppose lava should also address many interested parties. I have already looked at various autoscout / mobile pages but did not see lava sand or rubin. Who could help?

  • Tacho accuracy overwhelming

    Hello together, two independent external GPS certify the XC90 MY07 a great speedometer accuracy. Up to approx. 120km/h on the Volvo watch only 4km/h more are displayed and up to the final speed it is just times 6km/h more. So always be careful, when the speedometer comes, you have hardly any more a big margin (because you could think, well my speedometer goes anyway generously). But since we are anyway comfortably cruising through the area with the thick ship, probably only the paint and the is t black and not red! In this sense greeting crea

  • Now it’s gone, thanks

    Hello, I already posted that I want to sell mine, now he (quasi) is gone. Wasn’t ever a real friend of the car…. even though I had one of the “goods” (actually only small problems)…. I just dropped the purchase contract for an A6 3.0 TDI Limo, switch, black, S-line per + 19″. Had the car (premier from 02/06) extensively to the test. That’s another car…. which is of course absolutely trimmed on “sport”. The V70 is/was naturally eige The A6 makes my heart beat faster already from the interior design, you can’t say that from the Volvo, even from the new S80. This is of course a matter of taste and left to everyone… so no comparisons/ Pro/ Kontra threads. Would like to thank everyone here for tips and the same, good ride (in whatever) Flodder

  • New winter shoes for V70II

    For all those interested: Felge: ANZIO DRIFT in Terling Silver 6,5×16 ET48 Tires: Hankook W300 215/55-R16 I never had any problems with the tires on my Vectra. Long distances on a dry highway or even uphill on a snow track could be handled without any worries. Very little rolling noise and after 3 winters a residual profile depth of 6,5mm…. With still the pictures…. Mikeec P.S. in summer the rims are changed to at least 17inch. … whether meaningful or not —-> SCHÖNER

  • I finally got my V60 🙂

    Hello together, I wanted to introduce myself briefly after there are already some posts by me regarding purchase advice. After my Ford Focus incl. me was shot from a gyro by someone who thought he still managed to get into the gyro before me, the chapter Ford was finished with a total damage and the search for a fit V60 intensified. The search for a V60 occurred about 1 year ago, since I happened to drive an 181 HP D4 before I actually tried my test drive. The V60 was standing at a dealer around the corner so that this turned out. Since that time I was fixed, but no time. Since I drive max. 15,000 km a year, it should be a gasoline truck, said, done, test drive with a T3. It was fine but the last spark has not skipped from the force. Then the search for a T4 started, which was like a needle in the haystack. Then the said accident and it had to go quickly, there was then a new pass. the diesel is an alternative again. 2 x D4 and 1 x D5 were driven within 14 days. The decision was a lot ultimately on the D4 with Polestar performance optimization, which was of course 650 km away, but he did it to me 😉 D4 with 200 hp Year 03/2017 Kilometer: 7,200 km So and now there are pictures on winter tires

  • V60 BJ 2015/16 T3 or T4?

    Hello together, after my choice for the new car fell on a V60 I drove first the D4 (190 hp).The engine, however, I agreed to the current diesel situation and my annual max. 15,000 km away from the diesel.Today I drove the T3 (152 hp), super engine and actually happy.However, I did not drive it under full load.My fear is that it is a little too weak, how are your experiences?The T4 (190 hp) is in the Consumption according to net identical, does that fit?Then would that speak against the T3?!

  • Volvo XC60 buy and experiences and tips

    Hello Volvo fans, Volvo driver, mechanic and motor-talk member, I want to become a Volvo-te and get me an XC60. For me and my partner and two children the XC60 would be an ideal vehicle. Unfortunately there is a large selection of XC60 with very different KM numbers. My focus is currently on the following data: Volvo XC60 BJ 2012 – 2014 PS 163 Tank: Diesel Equipment: Summum Kilometer: max 150 tkm Preferred transmission: Automatic Current favorite is a BJ 2012er m it 166 tkm around € 20.500. The car dealership offers me for free a 4-fold winter tire and a free tooth change. What do you think of this offer? I also found an XC60 with only 117 tkm and BJ 12/2012, but this is a switch. How are the experiences from 166 tkm? What do I have to pay and would you prefer to pay 2000€ more and then have only 100tkm or rather press the price and accept the 166 tkm for it? Thank you for your tips and advice Chliege im Voraus. Best regards, Chris

  • Repair accident damage vs “new” V70 I or II?

    Hello, unfortunately I had a self-inflicted driving accident. But the front left headlight, the bonnet, the bumper, the suspension (if you call it so?) of the bonnet, the “frame” for bonnet has been broken. More but hopefully not, is still unclear. my beloved V70 I, built in 6/1999, km 374800 unfortunately also has a crack in the end pot, and he unfortunately also loses some oil, where you don’t know where it comes from. Now I think about repairing it to l I don’t think so, honestly. Well, my questions, what’s your assessment: is it worth it, with such a mileage? I’ve already looked around for another V70. Songs I’ve come across to many “comish” dealers. There were V70 from 2500,– to 7000,- Euro. But everyone had some Macke, which was not insignificant (the car pulled after the right, went almost j If you step out of the clutch, heavy crack in the shock bar plus several other paint damage, etc. ) Another question: what do you think, rather V70 I, or V70 II? Where are the advantages and disadvantages? I tend more to a V70 I, since several people have already confirmed to me that this vehicle will last longer. The V70II would have more problems, among others the throttle flap. What can one spend for a well-kept V70I? I find it also stops at 7000. I know, difficult and many questions. It would be very nice if you could give your comments, as I am standing a little on the tube right now. Thank you!!

  • Engine problems Power loss

    Hello Elch municipality it’s about a 98 V70 10v 140/144 Ps mileage 284,000km manual circuit. When I was on the road yesterday with my wife and our little daughter with the Volvo, he drove at first in the cold condition normal. After about 15-18 km on the highway he lost enormous power extremely in the fourth gear. Then it creeps really, and suddenly a sting burned rubber metal oil came electric from the vents. When I drove in after about 5 km into the city smoked it from the engine height right side/passenger. I immediately switched it off and we pushed it to the roadside, I immediately checked oil and cooler liquid. Oil was a bit mow so I tipped something after about 2 liters when the oil was normal and I let it cool down we drove on. No 5 km drove he started to stink again and in the fourth gear again like a sack of nuts as if I were driving against a resistance. He has to fight I then turned it off and checked if he was irge ndwo oil pushes out, removed timing belt cover but there is everything clean and dry. Just like everything else and how he wrote that only when he is really warm. Qualifying and power loss, maybe I should mention that in July 016 the clutch was changed. Speed does not play crazy during the ride and when I switch. He drives only in the fourth so bes…. I’ll look today where exactly the smoke comes from I’m surprised with this power loss in the vi spark plugs spark plugs split finger and cap just like coil I had changed in May 016.
