I don’t know if this problem is known, but the lower tube clamp on the radiator grille likes to gammelt away at the S40/V40. As a result: car suddenly loses its cooling water, which is unpleasant with 180 things on the highway..So better times control and replace when the gammel is far advanced. With me “the collar” of the cooling water hose burst fortunately in the workshop, when pressing off the cooling system. Since I have seen this warning also in English forums, it is probably a typical Macke of the X40… So better to prevent, instead of cry afterwards. If it is already known, at least newcomers will be happy about it.

Conclusion Test drive XC 90 V8
Hello, I can still drive the car for 1 day, but nevertheless my conclusion: Huge driving fun, especially on rural roads, with the highest risk of driving. Well-graded and switching gear, a great engine for this car, but not for the time. Nevertheless, everyone should enjoy the fun. Greetings Jo P.S.: It’s only after a whole time that I realize that the car has no roof railing – the wind noises are significantly lower!

XC90 D5 or X5 3.0d?
I know to ask such a question in a Volvo Forum or BMw Forum is always a bit critical, because everyone is inclined towards his brand. But I would like to hear your infarctions. My father wants to lease a company car and has caught up with some offers. It has to be a diesel! The X5 is just a bit more expensive. He wants the first time such a SUV. I like both visually. Greatly practical they don’t necessarily have to be. He just gets into such an SUV better and has more storage space than in a limo. Basically, I’m interested in the driving characteristics. So not necessarily the more sporty but simply very balanced. Performance-wise, an XC90 D5 looks very weak. How is that in Altag? Significantly too slow? Passage? My father likes to drive more quickly. How do you see the two cars. X5 is just older, but unfortunately only comes to the dealer at the end of 2006. But if no leg break has already been targeted at that moment, the Volvo looks new and fresh. And also rarely, but you have to be interested in what your faults or something.

V40 sale
Hello municipality, after 14 1/2 years I want to sell my V40 1,9D (115 hp) but the car does not seem to be very popular on the market. A street dealer “buy all cars” did not register at all, another (fuel station with used car sale) said, “only German cars”, a third offered 800 euros. My car has 240.000 km, no oil loss, all inspections (also the 240er with timing belts), metallic paint, 8-fold tires, light metal rims, new TÜV (just so right through and without defects, without any preparation!). As defects there is a beginning rusting at the lower front fender (should be typical of the model), and the air conditioning is hit (cools still, but according to the workshop the pipes are defective). In an offer in mobile.de I fear massive unpleasant visit in this price class. How did you get rid of your old cars (if not by payment)?

Does the ONLY lock on the driver’s side not work mechanically ?
Hello to all Volvo-Gurus 😉 So, that’s it. Now my question…Did I manage to open a few kilometers with a friend’s V70 (I) yesterday and turn off the car, why I forgot to turn off the inside light, I don’t know. . So..nun kommts..so we wanted to open the car today…GING NIX…all the two remote controls zero reaction. Door lock is only one on the driver’s side, Koffreraum is only a small flap but behind it (could) one could often install a lock…but was not a … Just a plastic cap that has hidden the hole and we could not remove or wanted to remove. With the two locks at the one lock (driver’s side) I could reach after several times back and forth also nix .. IS THE NORMAL ?? For what is there the lock there at all, if one does not want it at such an incident or in the winter to the Bsp. If the battery could say goodbye or use similar with the power supply, I can use the lock side?

Xc90?
We have been driving for about 8-10 years bmw 5er and we have always bought that when the new model came out! 2 1/2 half weeks ago now we had a total damage and now we have to look around for a new car! Even when we bought our E60 525d april last year we had loved the XC90 but then we stayed with BMW! Now we stand again before the same decision and tend now to the XC90 under andrem also from the simple reason to try something new! Jez I asked times n couple! – We want in our XC90 D5: Xenon, stand heating, metallic, NAvi, leather, speed-dependent servo, etc. … Often the XC90 will now be offered us in the Summum version but with our wish presentation comes the on nen lists price of about 52-53tsd euro and the executive in the start version also costs only 54tsd and has to answer so much of the big question about the Jechab in the first place!

Delay in delivery XC90
Lifertermin für meine Großelch was 19.-26.10.05. My friend now shares with me on request with the vehicle is still standing in Sweden!? Why is he not known, he can not say new delivery date. Call at VCG: True, car is still in Sweden, there must be quality checks since the D5 185 PS switch is a completely new engine. Why should I be checked now just my could not be answered, it is probably at least daily at least 50 shipping to Germany. Or is all this just a transparent talk and my new Dickelch is standing with a cracked flank somewhere at the harbour waiting for repair?? Why I do not be notified as soon as it is foreseeable that it could not be explained to me that it is a delay in delivery, let alone a new delivery date. Have asked for a call back of the department manager. In my contract there is what of 5% compensation after 6 weeks. Must I put the friend now already in delay or only after the expiration of the 6 weeks? The long-sought buyer for my old car has meanwhile resigned, he has no longer waited for such advice.

Volvo S40 T4 Powerbox Tuning ?
Hello, I had a cheap Volvo S40 T4 with the 1.9T 200 hp with manual gear and Tüv for 400,- Euro. I wanted to drive the car over winter and then see. I would like to get a little bit more power out of the car, because I thought of a so-called power box from ebay, a chiptunging for 600,- Euro is not worth it. There is no loss if the engine went up, is only a spare car that should be a bit fun. What do you think the box brings what or there is cheap alternative more horsepower to tickle from the engine because you have read that you can also chipping the 240 hp. https://www.ebay.de/…/222965207115?… mfg
