Hello, my friend bought a Volvo S60 D5 BJ 2002 with automatic and about 200tkm. After a week he noticed that the gearbox is jerking off at the intersection shortly before the stop. I asked my workmate this meant that the oil level in the gearbox could be low or a software update could remedy. I advised him that he should change the gear oil at this mileage times. Has anyone ever done this before? What about Do it Yourself ? How much is the oil and the oil filter or sieve? The workshop said something from 300€ -400€ including material and working time + rear brake blocks are also exchanged. she also said the 10L oil needed !!! That seemed a lot to me, is not a truck transmission. If the jerking should not disappear what else is there for sources of error? Thank you!

Hello! First a happy new year! Today my (thanks to the forum’s tip, unlocked in Holland) heater with incredibly loud noises said goodbye. The heater had already for some time caused rattles and shoopers noise in operation. Oddly enough there was no error message in the on-board computer and I had to switch off the heater manually. This reacted with even louder howling and then went out after about 1 minute. Is there anyone here in the forum, the r works as a master or as a mechanic at Volvo and can give a few tips on how to set up and install the heater? I would like to take a look at it myself. Also workshop literature or details about the type of the heater would be helpful (Ardic type ??). Before now some well-intentioned advice ala “let’s rather the fingers of it”. My moose (S60 D5) will be in June 4 years and thus no longer a guarantee and I should be a trained automotive mechanic (is already what Otherwise, I find the Volvo quite logical and well constructed, if you don’t mind some typical “diseases”! Maybe you could also call in the Elch-SH-Wiki some really independent-experienced dealers! Or can you also contact Eberspächer directly? Greeting from the Eifel! Patrick

Hello Volvo-Talker, I’m new here and since the weekend completely convinced of the V70 D5. After a test drive with the A6 V6TDI and immediately following with the V70 D5 I was positively surprised: The A6 was very hesitant with the multitronic during the gas acceptance and only then went off. The D5 was much more spontaneous and went through even better. Besides, it likes very well with the 5-cylinder sound. Contrary to the “brubble” of the V6TDI that sounds simply more dynamic. And that even quieter than in the A6, i.e. ni Also the suspension comfort and the brakes were much better with the V70. The A6 jumps over uneven ground and has a bad braking effect in wet weather. So far I was more attached to the Audi and had found the V70 only from the price-performance ratio for interesting. Now I have become a convinced Volvo fan and will order it. Only what color??? I don’t want to drive a black or grey car, as the weather is often grey enough. On the pass. Red is too aggresive for me. Stay ash gold, moonstone, ice blue, scarab green and mistral green. Inside I wanted to take antrazith for the taps and sisal beige for the leather seats. What do you mean? (although I know that you can always argue about taste…) Thanks already. P.S: Does anyone know the current delivery times?
