Dear “Elchgemeinde” (a farewell speech with a new beginning) ! Those who have followed my contributions a little, know that I think our XC90 is so to speak unchaputtbar and that our moose has been reliably spreading driving pleasure for almost NEW years. It looks like new (we say almost like new) and throughout the whole time there were, except inspections, only workshop visits to the tire change, to the TÜV, once the instrument had to be exchanged and once someone smashed me the bumper. In addition, my better half five years ago in the parking garage on a pillar scratched the driver’s door and since then it said: “We don’t need such a big car! – What is basically true, because we are now pensioners. But which “smaller” successor car is suitable for someone who drives an unchaputtable Volvo XC90? When the XC60 came out, I thought, now eats so far, that is the “smaller” successor car for our “big”. But thought. t my loved one said: “This is not much smaller – we should buy a Qashqai! Because her golf friend has a Qashqai+2 in whose trunk our 2 golf bags plus 2 golf trolleys would fit in – unlike in the Tiguan or X1 or Q3 or GLK – because they are all too scarce. And the trunk is a k.o.-criterium for us. So we decided four years ago to take the following step: As soon as the oldie XC90 shows the first flaws, he gets away and we get a Qashq ai+2. But our XC90 didn’t get any cocks, he remained unchaputtbar and I remained loyal to him until about 3 weeks ago. Then it was time. Then this Southeast European contemporary in the Aldi car park spoke to me: “Beautiful car you have – what does it cost?” He gave me his card and said: “I’ll call you tomorrow. I called my Volvo friend, I just wanted to know what I could achieve for the XC90. If I would buy an XC60, he wanted to give me 11,000.00 euros. And I should take into account that a set of new tyres is due, that the timing belt has to be replaced shortly, that the rear hubs and the track bars are no more effective, that an inspection is pending and the TÜV is due. And after all, the right door is painted and a new bumper on it. I calculated briefly and knew, if I do not sell now, I have cost in the foreseeable future of about two thousand beeps. I browsed again briefly on the Internet and noted 11 .000,– would be a decent price. Well – I think, should the South East European come back, I go once with 13,000,- as a negotiating base in the deal. After a few days the call came and then he stood with a transporter with trailer at our door and waved with a envelope full of bills: “Everything real euro. Can you get checked at the bank. We went to the savings bank, the money was real. There were fourteen thousand and five hundred euros in the envelope. I swallowed briefly, fetch The man bought cars “on order,” as he said, and at the moment he was looking for Volvos: “XC90 nothing broken,” he said, “well asked in the east.” I was still driving to the registration office, we signed off my moose together. That was a good 2 weeks ago. I guess my moose is somewhere in the Orient by now. And my loved one said, “Now we buy a Qashqai+2.” the comb, we just had to drive a few days with the Suzuki Splash my wife to golf. No, the story goes quite differently! It was fast no Qashqai to get at all. 6 months delivery time on the car, as I would have wanted it. My Volvo dealer , who sold Land Rover at the same time, had an idea: „Take the Range Rover Evoque ! We even did a test drive, but it didn’t matter, because the trunk was too short for our golf harness. Now please don’t show me “a bird” because we choose a car for golf harness! “What kind of car is this?” asked my wife and pointed to a compact SUV with a sleek design and dark panoramic roof that stood in the parking lot of the petrol station next to the Volvo dealer. It was a KIA – model Sportage 136 hp diesel. The owner sti We loaded our golf luggage and our trolleys into the trunk of the Kia – well, everything went well, not even the rear seats had to be folded. We sat in the car, my wife was thrilled – I was rather skeptical: “KIA ?” (again: “KIA ???”) “If you take a sport, said the happy-looking Kia driver, “then they better take the diesel with 184 hp engine, which exists since the beginning of October. It is built in the beginning of October. In the evening I went to the motor talk forum and clicked through the KIA topics. But for the 184 HP High Power Diesel there were hardly any experiences, only various orders with 6 months delivery time and more. But I found on the internet a dealer who had one in the showroom – not 30 KM away from home. The next day we were at the KIA dealer. There he stood, 445 cm long, 185 cm bre it, white, 18 inches on it, dark panoramic roof, leather seats, AWD automatic, rear-view camera, warning beep, xenon, LED daytime running light, seat heating,184 hp – all standard (only the automatic 1000,00 Euro surcharge). “For the first time in life after almost nine years Volvo I sit in a KIA!” Processing seems ok, cockpit pleasantly styled, used materials however not as high-quality as in the Volvo, but the plastic parts skillfully designed… New vehicle – still to have (with new The test drive brought the decision. Agile car, the 184 hp engine was just the right one, not a turbo hole, inconspicuously switching automatic at the right time. Chassis not as comfortable as my XC90. I don’t want to rave too much of the car now, because it still has to prove if it could keep up with our “uncaputable elk” in the long run. A certain skepticism remains, but the car gets its chance. That the price list ends where it only just starts with other so-called “premium providers” – and that there has been a proper estate. One thing Rolo has to do, however: the moose-like “climbable passenger seat”. So this is the farewell story, as the convincing moose friend Rolo has come to a completely different car. But will remain connected to the moose forum. Rolo

For a few days now I have had an OBDII interface with Bluetooth and additionally OBDscope on my mobile phone. I can read out some values and stumbled over the value air mass. This fluctuates with my S60 2.4 between 150 and 650 g/s – no matter if idling or full throttle! The value twitches very strongly and occasionally drops sharply (e.g. from 500 times to 20, then again to 600, etc.). The other values I can read with the tool all seem plausible and my laienha In my opinion, this is fine. Therefore, the question now arises whether this fluctuating value of “air mass” indicates a defective LMM? Can anyone help me?
