  • Premium Sound Subwoofer really noticeable?

    Hello dear community I drive an XC60 D5 with premium sound and am actually very enthusiastic about the system and enjoy long rides (not only because of the system). Now I wanted to adjust the settings this morning and I noticed that there are practically no differences when adjusting the subwoofer intensity. If I’m honest, I almost have to imagine that something is changing. If I turn the bass all the way down and the subwoofer I get massive more pressure from the normal speakers (with the bass level at 20 – 30%) than from the maximum setting of the subwoofer. As I said, I’m actually satisfied with the premium sound, but wonder if that’s normal? How is it with you? Since I have a service appointment next Tuesday I wanted to pick up your opinion if I should address this or if I’m rather embarrassed Best greetings b asler

  • PCC unlock key

    Hello, just a little something… I just wanted to know if the unlock button of your PCCs, or vehicle keys – just like me – has a small, but clearly visible “booking”. Does that fit like that, or is there something broken? The function is not affected by it anyway. I’m not sure if this was so from the beginning, since the Keyless go of the PCC is only in the pocket. Thank you very much! LG, Mathias.

  • Heating, short distances and garage

    Hello, now that the purchase of the XC70 is supposed to go over the stage this month, I just remembered something: I drive primarily short distance (just 12km). At night the car is in the garage, in the office in a carport. The heater, which I would then take to warm up the engine is not so the best idea in the garage So I could only take it in the evening for the way home from the office. But then I would have to activate it by FB, because I never know when I will get out of the B And as I know myself, I rather forget it…. Furthermore, I need about 15-20 minutes for the 12km. And as I understand it, the heater only starts when the outside temperature is below 7°. So from the gut feeling I would say, then the heater kills me rather the battery and does not bring the benefit. Am I right there? Greeting Heiko Oh yes: The longer rides come then on the WE But then with full use. With me it is climbing and geocaching.

  • Light sensor???

    moin, today I noticed with my thickness that the complete amature lighting suddenly became darker. This concerned the navigator, radio and the instruments (tacho etc.). Perhaps by chance when I had to drive through a rather dark area from the sun. Unfortunately, there were no further serious differences of light and dark on my house distance, so this phenomenon was not recognisable again. The question is now whether this was the case and I may have a tension problem od whether there is actually a sensor controlled lighting control from which I on the one hand knew nothing and on the other have never noticed??

  • V70 2.5 oils after oil change

    Good morning together, I already have the next question to the Volvo community. My Volvo was dry at the bottom, until the oil change. Now he thinks he has to oil. Exactly where could I not find out. The drain screw is dry. Makes me seem rather like it pushes out above the oil tank, in the direction of Fshrt. Through the driving wind the oil then spreads down at the bottom of the oil tank and then basically drips down next to the drain screw. Someone an idea or experience what it is can be and how I fix it. Should be nice and dry! Thank you!!!

  • Upgrade Digital Instument Panel?!

    Moin Moose Driver, I have to admit that I have gucked into the new TFT panel of the V40 and the MY14 models! Therefore (as everyone can surely think) my question now inevitably follows:Can one retrofit the “new” digital TFT panels or the complete “inlay” of the instrument panel in the older series? And if so, how much do you estimate the effort for such an operation? Ideally I hope that the version fits and you just unscrew the old panel and a And then the new panel has to plug in and screw in… The instruments are also in the older series (MY11-MY13) against the jargon no longer “analog instruments”, that’s all already digitized. Would be really great if someone can make a sound statement about it! Greetings from the coast, state

  • Presentation Volvo XC70 D4 FWD Black Edition

    Hello, I have been active in the Volvo area for some time, but only because of my wife’s car. Until last year I was on the road in the Audi A5 area and wanted to switch to an XC60. Since I waited too long with the contract, no XC60 bearing vehicles were available and thus it became the Volvo XC70. Today was finally the handover of my first Volvo, an XC70 D4 FWD Black Editon. I drove today only a short while, but can already say that the car s the equipment of the car is as follows: color outside: twilight bronze color inside: anthracite automatic light package cargo compartment package family package parking aid front and rear speed-dependent power steering headrests foldable rear (electric) LM rims FREJA black 8.0 xd 18″ 235/50 R18 (summer) emergency wheel side and rear window darkened Additional equipment: LM rimsValder 235/55 R17 (winter) rubber footmats boot backcover mat Images of the interior mac next week I will drive a few kilometers and am curious how the difference to our V70 D4 with 5-cylinder and 6-speed automatic is. Greetings beetle367

  • Search Cat for C70 T5 – 07/1998 – Switches

    Hello. For about 2 weeks it rattles with warm engine in the stand gas under the coupé and I have the fear that the cat dissolves slowly. With running engine knocking against the cat and it rattles in it….. So it is probably soon a change. However, I saw in the invoices of the previous owner that the cat was changed in 2010 already. The car currently has 172tkm on the clock…. To get a part for the vehicle from 09/1998 is apparently no problem…. But for my B My question: Is there still any sources of supply for the part? Could the cat for models from 09/1998 be built up and hope for the grace of the TÜV-man. Or does someone else have to leave such a part of you? I would be super grateful for tips or even offers!

  • Passenger airbag – is there really no deactivation option?

    moin, I think I’ve asked that before, but I have the hope that maybe there is still a possibility, or someone here has deactivated it and it has also been registered at tüv. my problem is just the airbag, I would like to have it completely removed from or at best, but from volvo side it is only possible if I would switch off the whole amature board, the airbag control unit and the buckle belt from the driver. but that would be a huge problem, sometimes there apart from that, I would have to get the whole material somewhere. who say at tüv, if volvo is not ok, you can not enter me a deactivated airbag either. here in the forum? I had read that it would be technically possible to deactivate the airbag, so it probably does not fail, apparently it only fails to do so because of the permission. *grmpf* with soon 4 children but I do not need an accompanying airbag, with active airbag can not be a child seat The child is sitting there and all of my children need a seat. and so I haven’t found an additional back bench yet, at least not for less than 450€. from the fact that I have always blocked the suitcase room, even if only I drive with the children. but I can squeeze the stroller into the passenger seat badly.
