  • ISOFIX in Volvo 850/V70 ?

    Hello, we have a child seat with the ISOFIX system and think about buying a used V70 or 850. Can someone tell me from which year this system can be retrofitted or belongs to the serial equipment? Listen to very contradictory statements. Thank you!

  • V70 II: Purchase considering / your opinion and a few more questions

    Hello everybody, I’m currently looking – actually after a 850s, or V70 I. I would like to have it converted to LPG. Now I have found in the search in the www car, which are already converted to LPG. This makes the cars of course more expensive, but I would save in the end, because buy plus conversion comes more expensive than buy an already converted one. These are both V70 II, which is why I have two or three general questions – more about this later. once I ask for your assessment of the cars car one: Volvo V70 2.4 Comfort, EZ 12/2001, 253,000 km. The owner with whom I telephoned, thinks everything is fine, no maintenance jam, climate works, everything “what is on the car, works” (meaning “electric” so to speak). The equipment is also nice. Manco (?): No checkbook, the owner did a lot of himself, but invoices, from which everything comes out, are available. Price would be 4000 VHB. Car two: Volvo V70 2.4 Premium, EZ 11/2002, 255,000 km. Not yet on the phone. Class car actually, but: “Cooler for 2.5 years pressed in (driving on highway over truck tires) but densely and without restriction fully functional.” Should one leave one’s fingers from the beginning? There could have been even more broken? Price would be 4300 VHB. So, and now even more general questions. As I said, I had actually rather looked for 850 and V70 I, until with the V70 II into the field of view. Why? Because I find 850 and V70 I nicer – the long muzzle of the V70 II is not quite mine – but that would of course be secondary with a good car. But I have already read so much to the Volvos that I probably already drive myself crazy. But better asked than remained stupid. BJ 2001 and 2002, that’s the ones with the Magneti Marelli throttle valve. Since better to let off the fingers? And with these engines there are no more hydro tusks, what with Gasbetr And: Is the turning circle of the V70 II compared to the 850er / V70 I really so big that you get problems with it partly in parking garages? Does a three-point turn on a normal road or are these already four points? Bzw. can you turn on a four-lane road in a train? Sorry, if you have to laugh now, but I am a bit unsure, and it would be stupid if I bought a car, which would then make me in the A. lltag strest… Thank you for your thoughts and answers, Patrick

  • Rear windscreen wiper V70 – adjustable?

    In my search for a used V70 I have already noticed several times that some people seem to have changed the position of the rear windscreen wiper, so that it is located on the sheet instead of the glass of the rear window – e.g. from displays:https://cache.willhaben.at/mmo/5/314/558/675_187948616.jpghttps://cache.willhaben.at/mmo/9/315/459/529_1104146901.jpg Is this a known/frequent problem, and is it easy to fix? Is it likely that the paint will not do well in the long run if the wiper is scrubbing over the edge between glass and sheet metal…

  • Summer tyres 245/40/18

    Moin together, what kind of summer tires do you ride on your 18 inch? I’m looking for new summer tires in size 245/40/18. Have the Uniroyal Rainsport2 on it, but after about 2 have started to pollen at 50-60 km/h. Now after 6 years new ones are due. Were also generally very loud. Which brand do you ride in the mentioned size? Greetings

  • “Klack” at start-up

    A new episode from the series “how do I describe a noise” My XC60, MJ2014, D4, FWD, hand switch only lets sporadically hear a single short “tock” when starting. The noise only comes when driving off and definitely from the front car and (apparently) only when I was driving for a while before.The suspicion was on the drive shaft, a mechanic shook on it during a tyre change and meant that it would be ok. Does any of you have a tip for me? Greetings, Michi

  • Volvo on Call App

    moin, moin has noticed in the last weeks that the temperature in the app (on an apple machine iOs 6.13 and 7.02) is no longer displayed. Is this system-related (contract with SMHI ???) or a new “make-up” ? Last winter it still worked out excellently Had I forgotten to mention – the whole in an XC70 MJ 2013 … a nice autumn day even more

  • XC90: Insurance increase! Who was that?

    Hello, if I don’t have anything else to motch about my Dickelch, then stop at the insurance: 2007: liability, SF9, 45%, R4, TK23, 381 EUR all-inclusive 325/150, SF9, 50%, R2, TK21, 331 EUR 2008: liability, SF10, 45%, R4, TK24, 463 EUR all-inclusive 325/150, SF10, 50%, R2, TK21, 348 EUR That’s almost 100 EUR more, about 14% surcharge. To increase liability: Who with its XC90 is so against a highway bridge pillar that the bridge has collapsed? To increase? with the complete: Who has subjected his XC90 to a NCAP crash test?? Well, let’s see if there is an increase only in Volvo insurance or elsewhere….? Greeting xc90er …who doesn’t build any accidents anyway.

  • Women in XC 90

    Dear moose drivers, have you noticed how many large salmon are controlled by women? With us in the area (Kreis Böblingen) it is certainly 70-80%. And they circle the big ship far better through the traffic than some “ach-bin-ich-toll” small-cartante, where every truck parking gap becomes a challenge. My theory is that we men here in the forum talk about the Köppe, while our women take a leisurely walk outside. A By the way, my wife (like every day) is on the road with “my” not even half-year old XC90 and has already cheered 10000 km on the car. She is fun, and I like to ride with you. And if I really need a mobile kit is “her” 10 year old Opel Vectra ready. I don’t tell his color, otherwise you put together for an old 740 or the XC90er knocks me out on the way! Nice greeting and happy Christmas traffic, your Scotch

  • Transmission problems V70/II T5

    Moin together, are there any problems with the automatic transmission known with V70/II? After the first of the reverse gears failed, it was then a short time later also the forward steps. It is a T5 from 2000 with approx. 180,000 km.

  • Installation Dashcam

    Hello dear community, I intended to install / install a Dashcam system (Blackvue DR650GW-2CH) in my V60. The installation should be “clean” as far as possible, i.e. without visible cables. Due to the existing head/side airbags, however, I am uncertain whether the project can be realized at all. In addition to the laying of the power cable to the safety box (battery monitor is included) along or behind the panel of the A-pillar, also the laying the coexal cable to the rear camera along the edge of the roof sky. If necessary, a specialist workshop should be able to operate a partial dismantling of the roof sky. Has any of you been able to gain experience with the installation of Dashcams in the V60? Bzw. can any of you give an assessment or feasibility against the background of the installed airbags? I have already asked the surrounding Volvo contract workshops about this. Also the estimates regarding the feasibility of the roof sky differed far (from absolutely no problem to absolutely impossible). For the installation everything was also there for the price, from 200 EUR to 600 EUR ;-). I am concerned about the clean cable laying with connection of +/- & ignition impulse in the fuse box, installation and setup of the camera then I do it myself. I really ask myself what the workshops for hourly rates retrieve (clear, overhead costs etc.) ., but nevertheless – all academics in the workshop?). For other vehicles would probably be 1.5 to max. 2 hours usual. Thank you in advance!
