Hello together! Just got me a very nice S60 2,4 with 125kw. The vehicle has run almost 65000 km and is from 06/01. Now after a few days ride various questions have accumulated. A few questions may sound funny, but it is now my first Volvo, have changed from Audi. To the engine: Is the possibility to train the engine after this mileage still a little ́spritzigkeit ́? The car comes from a big city and seems since long time Zei t not to have been moved faster than 120 km/h… I also plan the installation of an LPG car gas system. Can anyone write me a report on this engine or give me a manufacturer’s recommendation? Have already got an offer for a Prinz system available. The whole should cost 2600 euros. Nervous little things 🙂 After 10 m drive or after about 3 minutes of service life all doors close. Can you switch off??? Nervt quite! Then funnels without the ignition on Is it possible to change this whole thing by switching to the circuit? When cleaning the car constantly starting the ignition makes a narrow foot for a long time I think…. 😉 MfG Stephan

already 2 weeks after I had taken over my new XC90 D5 (MY07), I noticed that after a strong braking process (brake assistant also grabbed) the steering wheel was slanted and the car pulled to the right. my tyre owner checked the tyres and adjusted the track. after 3 months, however, the same thing again: full braking, steering wheel no longer returns to the starting position (approx. 2 cm from the horizontal) and the car moves to the left. this time in the volvowerkstatt. resultat : ball joints are renewed i.e. exactly those parts that were changed a year ago in the frame of a recall call at the previous models and are allegedly no longer producing troubles at the my 07. have you made similar experiences ? has volvo the whole not in the grip ? my brake discs were changed after 20,000 km by the way, because the brake belaege were too hard. the grooves of an lp were harmless against the noise traces that the brake belaege on the had left slices…

Hello, at the moment it happens again and again that my gearbox does not switch clean (e.g. from the 2-speed to the 1-speed). Now I asked the dealer what a software update costs, so that the error can be fixed with this “small” measure. The costs amount to approx. 90-100€. And I thought that you only connect a computer and overplay the software. Who also got problems with the Geartronic or a software update? Reviews are gladly desired t! Greetings from Berlin, Michael

Hello, since now 22tkm I am now on the road on car gas and very satisfied – especially when refueling (this morning again in Belgium for 43 ct/l). But since this afternoon something is different: the moose stood (fully fuelled) all day on the company parking lot. When I entered, I believed to detect light gas smell. However, only on the driver’s seat!? Neither in the trunk nor in the rear can a smell be detected. My wife also said that it smells “somehow different” but didn’t want to fix itself on gas. It was rebuilt by the Volvo specialist in the Westerwald, which does not exclude the dangers of mistakes, but minimizes them. What do you think? Do I or can it be that you only perceive the smell on the driver’s seat? Do you want to go to the “normal” symtoms? Unsettled greetings from Düsseldorf Bernd 🙂

On the contrary, after 5 years of S60 D5 , which was for me the best car so far that I had, I will give myself a brand new XC90 shortly before Christmas . Today the order went out: XC90 5-seater Summum D5 Geartronic Magic Blue Metallic Inscription with toscana brown seats Felge Atlantis RTI-Navi 6-fold CD darkened discs back aluminum rideboards dirt catcher front and back delivery date KW51 …that means for me now impatient waiting for the new vehicle . But me n S60 is still fun for me. I did not have any technical problems with the car in the 5 years except for a clogged nozzle in the heater. I liked the D5 enormously. Sufficient power with low consumption (5,6 lt BC, 6,1 realistic). That the new with 185 hp is a little stronger than my age is of course compensated by the higher weight again. But according to my opinion of the test drive it is absolutely sufficient. So now it is called waiting when he d a I set pictures, until then Many greetings Andi

Hello Volvo-Gemeinde, unfortunately our XC70 from nem nasty A***** was taken from us in the meanwhile almost usual way in Berlin, so that we now have to search for a new one. Impacts online markets I knock off every day, so links there are unnecessary. But maybe one or the other thinks to sell his or it reads here n car dealer with … Search a summum from MJ 2006 to MJ 2007. MJ 2008 is rather not considered. Since I the equipment and the condition of our a bgeflackelten car wants to have as much as possible again, even if this should be almost impossible, here just a list of our old: MJ 2006, D5, summum approx.100k km – 6-speed Geartronic – standing heating – sliding roof – removable Volvo-AHK – laminated glass panes – integral child seats – rear bench 40/20/40er-division – 3rd children’s seating row – premium sound package with 4 x 75 W, 11 speakers – WITHOUT Navi, Tel. and alarm (use not, I don’t want – if in, also ok) small stuff, like switchable Bei driver airbag and side window blinds can of course also be retrofitted. With the other features it becomes more annoying then. Listen around and eyes open – would be very, very grateful! Greeting, frederico

Have you looked at the page, was in the forum and swirled between annoyance and the thought: ‘ Mmmm, is there something about it?’ If they are also against direct injection, they can soon no longer buy cars, neither diesel nor gasoline, can it? Can it be that the one subsection of Scientology or Jehovah’s witnesses are? I only mean because they are so sect-like in their reasoning. Very decisive, unilateral, do not allow other opinions. What do you think davo G.

Hello am new here and hope you can help me! have already read some topics but none with my try… I am now really at the end with my Latin… the following problem: In my S60 bj’05 I installed an amplifier + sub which ran also at the beginning wonderful so certainly went 3 months without problems (had the two already in my car before(4er golf), ran over a year without problems) iwann but the sub just didn’t go, new radio bought(suspected on defective a m chinch output) because amp+sub tested both funzen the solution was -> bad mass contact mass placed on other contact then again, however, only for about 3 months…. the remote led lights green even without the one mass cable is connected which probably means that he gets the mass over chinch what is not good now. I close the cable again goes off the lamp. have also tried another amp since the same happens. chinch cables were tested and seem i n order to be. if I look around in the suitcase room I really don’t know where to get some more mass? the cables have a sufficient cross section. fuses are all whole. someone ne idea?? thank you in advance AMP: Mac Audio MPX 4000 1000watt Sub: Magnat Streetracer 3000xxl 1000watt

Good day, I often have the problem that my car ( V70R year 2003 ) runs out during the ride. Sometimes it can only be started again after several organs, but most often it starts problem-free. In the workshop the contact plate of the ignition lock was changed as the first diagnosis. But that remained without success. A fault code was not shown. Vehicle is an automatic. Does anyone have a suspicion? Greeting R-driver

Hallihallo I am so pleased with my Volvo (S60R hand switch MY06). I was able to pick it up just before 95000km and am now at 97000. The brakes were completely renewed when picking up the rear and front (dishes + blocks). Now it is like this: If you only brake very easily, the brakes squeak. If I step in a little harder, not. I thought that was because they are new. But after almost 2000km the squeaking is still there. Is this normal and goes the way or is there e in other problem? As far as I know, metal only squeaks on metal when both are “dry”. Bzw. it grinds.
