  • Wagon “swimming” & chassis noise

    Vehicle: S60, mileage 100,000KM, drive the car for 6 years in first possession without problems. For several weeks the following symptoms occur: – extremely side wind sensitive from 120KM/h, from 160KM/h dangerous. Car “floats” in the lane. – clean curve line from 160KM/h practically non-mobile, constant steering corrections necessary. Alternating curves from 160KM/h dangerous. – Cars now slings even minimally when changing lanes or braking in curves in urban traffic. – Dry “Klock” Geräu condition: – checkbook maintained at Volvo, first possession. – V&H damper at 70%, just tested on the test bench at DEKRA. – transverse handlebars and upper engine bearing new at approx. 65,000KM. – track rod head just renewed at inspection, suspension V&H remeasured. – steering gear probably in the case of inspection on stage at least no game during shaking on VR. – tyres now new summer tyres, Luf ddruck i.o., no improvement over winter tires. – otherwise no abnormalities / no further findings. Volvo workshop: “This can be anything possible”, “This can be expensive”. Does anyone have a little more idea of chassis and knows how to rationally limit the error without which the planless parts exchange??? I will definitely not get involved in that.

  • XC90 – which motorization is “usable”?

    Currently my parents are driving an S80 I with 2.0T. We are satisfied with this, however, my father has long considered the XC90. Now he asks me which motorization is most recommended. Well, my parents want NO diesel. D5 or 2.4d fail immediately! So the question is: Which gasoline engine is optimal in the XC90 with normal driving mode (rarely more than 120 km/h) as well as some caravan train time? My parents say they don’t need 200 p s (or more) but it should already be useful. I would rather have a T6 in it, but unfortunately my parents are not looking for me So the question: which machine can be recommended? Is there the 3.2l R6 also to buy in the XC90? DEN would my parents probably also buy… Or was there the normal 2.9l with approx.200 ps? Can one convert some of the machines to gas (keyword gas-proof)? If yes, which one? Thanks for the tips…

  • Volvo V70 II automatic transmission

    Hello, errors come every now and then. It sounds as if the gearbox is switched off, then error engine maintenance, emission maintenance and then “brake motor off”. Revometer goes to 0 and speedometer to 0. I stop motor off and after a few minutes I start and it runs round again. I get out of the battery and wait 10 minutes. The errors are gone. After 3 weeks or 2 days the error comes back. Was already in the Volvo workshop and have the errors a communication between ABS control unit and engine control unit faulty. But what does this have to do with the transmission ? Does one have an explanation ? Greeting Rupert

  • V70D5 MY2007: Change particle filters at 120,000km?

    Hi there, was a summer tire earlier at my Volvo workshop. I picked up from a conversation that also with my V70D5 MY2007 at 120,000km the DPF has to be exchanged. Is that really so? What does that cost? Are there jaemanden, who continues without an exchange and can tell me his experiences about it? Thank you, greeting Markus P.S.: The search does not give any informative information about it…

  • Thanks for the nice time with Moose…äh EUCH!

    Call me a traitor, a defector or just think of your part But it remains true: after 11 years as a moose driver I now let myself be pushed through the area by a Bimmer with three letters. I thank you for the many helpful contributions, which have also often been fun during the easy reading and will certainly continue to visit you from the E60 & E61 forum! LG T.

  • Your opinion > XC70 > 200.000 km

    Hi Swedes driver, I just have an XC70 D5, EZ 12/2002 in mind with respectable 208,000 KM on the clock. But I’m very surprised what the XC70 still costs, although all of you talk about broken used car prices. I’d like to ask you for your opinions on the offer and experiences / assessments of the XC70. Is this, for example, considerably more expensive than a V70 D5 at the running costs? Can you buy it even more confidently, or do you possibly put the piggy bank without ground in the Garage? XC70, EZ 12/2002, 208.000 KM, Premium, 1 Hd. Checkbook complete Volvo. Sale by Volvo dealer. Green-metallics, RTI, telephone, leather… except parking aid complete. DPF (used) would be negotiable – so green. Condition according to age very well maintained. From 1st hand and driven by older gentleman. I think 12.000 EUR would be possible – possibly less. DAT says HEK 11.000 EUR, ADAC says HVK 13.000 EUR, only I am skeptical in how far these price figures today still the Reali THX Magic

  • Is Four-C worth it?

    Hello Forum, I have read the entry-level thread to Four-C, but wanted to get a current opinion of you: I’m basically concerned with the unsightly effect that with my D5 (163PS) the traction on the front wheels leaves a lot to be desired when speeding up. Now I think for my next V70 (with 185PS or 2.5T) about ordering with four wheel and / or four-C to eliminate this effect, among other things. Thanks for your tips, Sebi70

  • Request help with purchase decision XC60

    Hello, we are currently driving a V40 2.0 with 140 hp. This is now in July of the TÜV and it has provided me with 337,000 km of faithful services. Now it is time for a replacement. I wish me nn XC60, with automatic, all-wheel drive, max. 150000 km. I want to spend about 17000 €. In my search I came across this ad:http://ww3.autoscout24.de/classified/273985146?asrc=st is below average if you compare with other ads. The car is at the dealer’s and I would like to buy a warranty if possible. I already read a lot about the XC60, also in the blog here. I don’t let myself be intimidated by engine problems and oil replication, seem to be individual cases. Originally I wanted the 2.4 with 163 hp. Now I have calculated everything and found that my insurance contribution also remains the same with 205 hp. The XC60 would then be driven by 2 people. In the back a dog box for 2 dogs has to be put in (smaller and medium bigger), for this I would give the right half of the trunk and put in a VarioCage. Does anyone have experience with this box? Furthermore, a triathlon bike has to be transported, possibly disassembled in a bike case. Our luggage usually consists of 2 large and 2 small suitcases. If there is still room, diving gear should go along. Do you mean, do you get all this in the XC60? Are you looking forward to answers?

  • Volvo XC 70 MY 2014

    Good evening dear Volvo community, I’m new here, but I’ve been reading very interested here in the Volvo forum for weeks. I’m looking for a new car and I’ve been caring for a Volvo for a long time. I think that this brand radiates a certain sympathy. I used to drive a V 40 (long ago) as a first car. Since then only German manufacturers. So now enough to the history ?? I was on the day of the open door on 29.06 at the ?? around the corner and I had the XC 70 MY 2014 AWD,Geartronic introduced and was back and forth, great car !!! The car had the 2.4 liter 163 hp machine(motor of Volvo ???) I think the engine capacity/performance ratio is in a good balance here. The car would often also have to pull the horse trailer, does someone have experiences here? I want to drive this car for a very long time, about 10 years and I drive about 30,000 kilometers a year. I think that this drive performance with good fuel e and maintenance should not be a problem or ? Are there striking engine or gear problems ?? I have not found much about this here in the forum, but this question burns me under the nails. I have high demands on reliability! Have had very good experience with the German manufacturers so far regarding reliability. I have read here partly something about sensitive leather. I have the Inscription interior in mind, how is the durability d The equipment line should contain the summum package + auxiliary heating. Which other equipment extras are still recommended???? What about the electronics/electrics?? Markant problems?? The car has already cast a spell on me at the ?? and my wife too, so the decision is already as good as it was!! Until here it was first, but I think there will be more questions on my part. Well a wagon? the top class wins the JD-Power customer satisfaction study seems to be mature! Thank you for your answers! I hope to be able to introduce myself here soon as a new moose driver !!

  • Waaaaaahhhhh please decision help!!!!

    Hello together! I signed the purchase contract for my XC60 yesterday. I chose: D3 Diesel 150PS manual gearbox Java Metallic inside leather beige amatures modern wood panes darkened, exhaust system double business package family package comfort suspension and still a few games. Two things but don’t leave me alone, I constantly think about changing this: Should I have taken an automatic? I like both very much, our V60 has automatic, d he S40 switch. I can’t decide …. and: was the comfort suspension a mistake? is the car then “smoky” on the road? I know you can’t take the decision from me but you can give me at least the push in the right direction if you give me your experience and your feedback on switch XC60 or automatic here. Thank you!! I am looking forward to the great Thadea like a schnitzel.
