Hello together, after our instrument cluster (Volvo V70 II year 2002, 103KW, petrol) had failed again and again, I thought that the easiest (and cheapest) solution would be to exchange the part for a used one. First workshop: AI exchanged, no signal from the control unit, no solution in sight. Second workshop (Bosch): Everything checked – it must be the AI, but can only be “fished” by Volvo. Current statement Volvo: If the used part has not been reset, it can be in us I think this problem is known – maybe someone has an idea how to solve this problem? Thank you for your help! Greeting KoenigZucker

Hello, I’ve been working on the Volvo XC 90 for about 1 year now and I’ve acquired knowledge from studying brochures and the Internet before ordering. That’s why I find it terrifying to find out what hairy “information” you get from some of the alleged professionals, the regularly trained friendly at Volvo: My question (although answer is already researching): Why is there this dark cover plate on the roof? Tailgate often caused paint damage due to falling ice on the roof. Truth: Because the antenna technology is installed under this hood. In order to ensure good reception, the plate is made of a special Bayer plastic and not painted. Also the delivery of the extras after the facelift (e.g. whether the new PDC at the front also contains the silver impact cover or this has to be ordered separately) could not be answered. ehr, many consultants just don’t seem to “love” their products. Incidentally, this is not only happening at one dealer but at several. In the Hamburg area it looks quite gloomy. In my experience, the best consultant in HH is a woman (Fa. Krull, Mrs. Holthausen). Does it look better outside Hamburg ?

Hello and greetings from Vienna! We have recently our first Volvo – a 2006 XC70 D5 Momentum AWD Geartronic with approx. 100.000km, and therefore I would like to introduce myself briefly: I live with my wife and two rather larger dogs – Leonbergern – in beautiful Vienna. My first car was a Citroen GSA X3, built in 1983. After two rather colourless VW Golfs (II and III, 70 and 90 HP) my wife brought me back to Citroen – she brought me a BX 1 9TZD into the relationship – that was 1996 and from that time on there was always at least one Citroen in the household. Before the purchase of the Volvo we drove two C5 Breaks – a C5 I Break (2.0 HDI 90 X, built in 2003 ) and a C5 II Break (2.0 HDI 135 Exclusive, built in 2005). By the way, I am looking forward to the spring again, to be able to make the streets insecure with our “Goddess” (D-Special, 99 HP, built in 1973, Pallas-equipment …) – this is just hibernation. Since we have a Woc Henendhaus in remote forest location in the Lower Austrian Waldviertel (located on a forest path – with short but steep access), a four-wheeled vehicle has somehow pushed itself in the last years … Further criteria were a large and also above the “belt line” usable (so not coupé-like fashionable) trunk with not too high loading edge (because of the dogs with a total weight of 130kg as a passenger) and a not too commercial vehicle-like driving comfort … That’s why So now the XC70! In the last three weeks we have already driven about 900km and so far completely satisfied – compared to a Citroen the Volvo “feel” of course different … Also the all-wheel qualities in the snow and in the mud we were able to test extensively. The consumption (first tank filling) is currently already over 9 liters … However, of course with heavy testing of the all-wheel abilities etc. On the highway it should thus 0.5 to 1 liter more than our C 5 II Break consume at the same speed. Now I hope that all this was not too lengthy and I am looking forward to a lively exchange and many interesting posts here in the forum!
