  • Fleet discounts, what are the costs?

    Hello forum, my dealer has informed me today that all fleet discounts negotiated nationwide by large companies are completely charged at the cost of the car dealership. For this reason no further discounts, or “good deeds” are possible. With the previous shops (leasing, or purchase) at car dealerships of other brands in my region, the statements of the acquisition of 40-75% of the fleet discount costs by the manufacturer deviated (VW, Toyota, Mazda and Ford). This is because some time ago my Volvo dealer and the same seller were promised a day’s registration, in addition to the fleet conditions. However, it was two different models, V60 and XC60. My “I’m getting advantaged” radar hit massively. Now I’m looking forward to the statements of the experts who are familiar with the matter. The seller has also pushed a bit more intrusively to the contract signature, I’m a little surprised about the procedure.

  • Question of short-term overrun of trailer load D4 FWD

    Hello and good evening, I would like to help a friend who has a defective Ford Mondeo 180 km away from our home town, who needs to be picked up for repair. The vehicle weighs empty 1250 kg, the trailer weighs 700 kg. This means that the trailer load would be exceeded on the way back 150 kg, since the XC 60 only 1800 kg braked trailer load are allowed. The distance is relatively flat (Hannover to Soest) The dice have not fallen yet, if I help there kan n, apart from the fine (30€), what technical problems do you see there? Also via PM. PLEASE not a moral discussion! Thank you for your help

  • Amplifier installed

    Hello, this morning had time and pleasure and thanks to scutyde wire harness I was able to connect the amplifier and install it. Here are some pictures for those who want to install it at some point, provided they get a small picture help for where it is installed. If you do not see the holes for the holding frame, there is a pre-punched solenoid hole in the insulation mat ! See first picture ! masabi

  • C70 T5 Bj 98 Motor control light drives me crazy

    Hello all, I made the oil trap of my C70 new this weekend, all good. Started and then the misery took its course. Gear arrow flashes and engine control light or the Lambda symbol lights up. So all plugs and pressure lines control everything well. Read out= no errors. He drove quite normally, switched on everything as usual. Then I stuck the battery off overnight and see, the arrow flashing is gone, but the motor control light is gone. So I was with my Latin today and thought to myself, because I have such a “Universal OBD reader”, I drive to and let it read out there. The result = no mistake. They just told me, drive, the lamp goes out again when the error no longer appears. So bottom line 45€, for nothing and again nothing, groans. Can you maybe give me a couple of tips where I can still look? So the car runs quite normal, but after Ca 10 And one more info: I checked the distributor cap and the finger and saw that they are quite “groomed”, but I didn’t do anything about it, put it on it again and ordered a new set immediately, he didn’t have any false ignitions or anything.

  • Adjustment of maintenance intervals XC70

    Dear Volvo friends, my XC70 is now six years old and has reached 100,000 km. Until now, the vehicle has been serviced once a year by Volvo. The mileage is currently about 20,000 km per year. If I see it correctly, it is no longer possible to expect Volvo’s flimsyness in the event of major damage (e.g. on the engine, on the automatic transmission, on control units) for my vehicle. Thus, my workshop for the control unit of the radar module me In the last year Volvo Germany answered negatively and I was allowed to pay a good 1300 euros myself. I now want to change the maintenance intervals as follows: The vehicle should be maintained every 30,000 km at Volvo in the future. This means that the Volvo inspections would then be carried out every 18 months. The Volvo mobility guarantee would then be omitted. Instead, I have a protective letter of my car insurance. In addition, I would then myself every 15,000 km an oil This would give the vehicle all 15Tkm of new engine oil, which is certainly not harmful, because I have the intention to drive the car for a long time. What do you think of this idea? Greetings from Mittelhessen!

Whatever happens after you have switched on the ignition. goes the radio but the display is still blind …After ca. 10-20 sec. is the display you can now also search for transmitters the climate can be changed from Automatic to manually and the blower goes at once…as well the seats can now also be adjusted electrically….If you try to start a second time it runs a little longer but goes there despite The car. was read out at Volvo, supposedly the ECU…had talked to two companies today to repair the ECUs…both were of the opinion it could not be. Maybe someone knows advice or knows the mistake…about your help I would be pleased… Greeting and thank Hans-Joachim

  • Interest in Volvo and I don’t know about it

    Hello, when looking for a new car up to approx. 17000 Euro. I also had the idea to deal with Volvo this morning. I’ve never had a Volvo before, but I’ve often heard of the high quality before. Is that still so, that the cars are very robust? I would like to have a V60 station wagon. It should fall from the range of space into the class A4 Avant or BMW 3’er Touring, right? As a little driver with 13-15,000km a year I would still like a motor recommendation uen. Automatic is important to me, like ACC and good seats (I am quite large), as well as a decent music system. Which equipment makes sense? Thanks for the answers!
