Dear Volvo colleagues, I had my car (XC60 D5 automatic, 36,000 km, year 01/09) tuned earlier this week. Before 185 hp and 400 Nwm, now about 210 hp and 450 Nwm. You can notice the increase in power over the entire speed range very clearly and it has accelerated a force like the car in any speed range. The consumption has reduced with the same driving mode by one litre (previously after the tuning about 500 km). before tuning took about 37 seconds to reduce the speed without using the brakes from speed 100 to speed 30, after tuning the car needs about 45 seconds for the same exercise. I think this has something to do with the now significantly higher torque, or what do you think about it? In my opinion, the tuning has already been carried out proficiently (costs 600 Euro) and thus took about 2.5 hours. On the one hand I am I am very impressed by the increase in performance, on the other hand I miss a little more clearly the braking effect of the engine (is practically in stop and go traffic) … I want to drive with the car still about 50,000 km and hope that the engine and the drive can withstand the higher performance without damage. If you have had bad experiences please report, because this is not important to me. I now have a month to get through the free “downsizing” Good advice is now required… Ask for your opinion, thank you. Lg Michael (I know the warranty for the engine is extinguished!)

Do you know that? The windscreen wiper goes to the left and cleans nicely. It goes to the right and smears something. A few streaks only, but still visible and disturbing. It always runs like this, at every temperature, at every bad weather, whether now is almost only water or like the last days, often only little moisture from cars driving ahead, mixed with road dirt. New leaves have not brought any improvement. (If I could only reprogram the windscreen wiper that it could Always left stops in the interval – I would always have clean windows.) Does any of you have any idea what to do? Are there working nano-tech stories? Appreciative for tips. The “many-in-darkness and bad weather riders”.

Hello to the community! I bought a S80II with Bixenon headlights. The surface of the headlights on the leaves was already on the purchase. At least not milky, but rather like a chirping foil! Can you fix this with a polish? Has someone already gained experience? I just want to have one TÜV period time and get replacement. New ones at Volvo cost approx. 950€! I’m open for suggestions!

Hello, and Merry Christmas! Quick question, after reading numerous posts and purchase advice here in the forum over Christmas: Can I buy the D4 4 cylinder with 181 hp from year of construction 2015 with around 150,000 km mileage in the V70 basically „calmly? 2017 there were discussions about AGR coolers, oil dilution, oil consumption etc. … I am looking for a reliable permanent runner, who also moves our caravan 1700 kg several times a year “at full throttle over the Alps”. There are some examples that have also run 200,000 km and more. Or maybe also the recommendation to take another engine. (I was only 5 cylinders. Bloss with the 5 cylinders you read more often about cooling water loss, head problems, etc. This does not have.) Thank you.

Hello and good morning in the round After purchasing the car (XC70 II, 2.4 D5 AWD, EZ 2013) I had a temporary total failure of the audio system (the topic has been discussed here in detail in the forum) I got a new Mediaplayer module (MPM). The system ran without any problems. However, for some time I have a similar problem again. The sound (radio, navigation, telephone, parking aid) interrupts temporarily, but then comes after different times like During a telephone conversation, my interlocutor can still hear me. However, I have no sound. I can’t see a pattern of times. I sometimes drive for days without problems, then again the error occurs every 5 minutes. Partially, the BT connection to the mobile phone is interrupted. If the interruption takes too long, I can repeat the sound by switching off and on the audio system. In contrast to the first error, there is here at interrupting the The car doesn’t have to be turned off and the door opened. I hope someone has the right idea here. First of all, thank you to those who have read up here.

Hello together I found a (at least for me) peculiar behavior with my V60 today. I drove from about 32°C and bright sunshine towards the west into a cold front with permanent rain. The outside temperature fell quite quickly to about 18-20°C. The air conditioning was constantly off, all windows and sunroof closed. I myself did not get out at any time, so did not wear moisture with the clothes in the car. After about 40 minutes drive through the permanent rain (sometimes weather-like) I then noticed a very light (really minimal) fitting of the windshield. I then turned on the front disc heating and soldering. After a few seconds the fitting was gone and the view was again great. But suddenly the disc started to fog from the lower corners in a U-shape (round around) – and indeed so strong that I have seen almost nothing. The disc heating / ventilation then has the problem again within seconds. Unfortunately, it went on until I was home. Hardly did I turn off the ventilation was the disk again. Is that normal with the V60? Didn’t know such behavior with my other cars. Could something leak or be blocked somewhere? I assume that everything is mechanically in order at the ventilation. I am grateful for your tips and experiences!

Hello together, with the windshield of my V70/III Summum (EZ 2015) I noticed recently that it is covered with countless tiny stone strokes (or similar). I have only been driving the vehicle for about 6 weeks. At the beginning I didn’t really notice the problem, or it just looked like a slightly dirty disk for me. However, a treatment with various cleaners as well as disc cleaning foam did not bring any improvement. With the magnifying glass you can I’ll try to take a picture of it. The whole thing is striking and a bit annoying when driving with backlight (deep sun). It’s the heatable front windshield Saint-Gobain Sekurit 43R-002687 with year ́15, so probably the first disc. Then I got a few other used V70s with Saint-Gobain disks closer to a nearby Volvo dealer. In the past, I didn’t notice anything like this in any other vehicle. Could you observe this phenomenon as well? What’s the reason – are the front windows of the manufacturer Saint-Gobain particularly sensitive? Can you minimize the damage in any way, so that the damage is less disturbing? I suspect that the Liability Insurance only pays for a “real” rockfall. What would a disc exchange (incl. assembly/justice of the sensors/cameras) cost about? Best regards!
