Hello, here’s a brief statement to my comparison M-Class (previously ML 320 for 1 day) and XC 90 (mostly V8 for only hours). Worse on the XC 90: 1. He already clapped clearly (new car) and had a much worse suspension comfort than the but with Airmatic equipped ML. There seems to be an air suspension for the Volvo however. 2. The surround system (built therefore was the max. variant of the sound) brought a certain surround effect, but it was like 1 stereo channel from the front center, the other (and clearly overemphasized) from the rear center. I know with sound quite well and was disappointed. However, even with a better adjustment in balance/fading can still be improved there something? I found better at the XC90 (V8) to speak the door panels and the size/sicht area of the exterior mirrors. Also, the presence of a heated front disk and the better combinable (with Mercedes limited) double glazing is good for me too.

Engine went much slower!
Hello dear friends at MotorTalk! When I started the engine at -13° degrees tomorrow at 6:50 am, the engine was still on P and the engine was running very slowly. As if he had just hibernated. While driving I noticed that he didn’t give immediately what I gave by pedal. Everything was really slow, he didn’t want. OK, the engine of my V40 couldn’t do as it wanted because it was very cold. I don’t know it so, but after many minutes it ran as always. You just have to give him a lot of time! Battery charging every month is important!

Failure of headlamps during driving
Hello, with my Volvo both headlights fall sporadically during the ride. If I then hit the dashboard / light switch from below with my hand, they turn on again. I already changed the light switch, however, there was no improvement. If I turn the light on and off at the switch, it goes again. Sometimes, however, only with more attempts. If I travel faster on the highway at night and then suddenly the light runs out, my heart slips into my pants every time, because absolute blind flight. Unfortunately, I could not stop until now and see if the rear lights don’t go. Did this problem ever have anyone? I am really perplexed. My Volvo is a S40 year 2002, 1.8 B4184S2 Dear greetings and thank you already for any answers.

Question about the B&W sound system
Hello dear colleagues, the B&W sound system has been my XC 90 for almost 2 weeks now and I’m almost completely enthusiastic about the moose. No matter what sound experience I set up, or however I move the bass or subwoofer control. Either it’s horny (which I don’t mean you can feel the bass in the seat here) or totally thin. Have I ever put myself in the trunk and try to feel whether the bass is produced here. But either the subwoofer was forgotten or it doesn’t work properly? Does anyone have similar experiences here? Had an A6 with a standard LS system for a week before elk collection, but this system was full-bodied in control center position. And yes, there was only thanks to DAB or via Bluetooth music. Couldn’t be that at 1000 watts plus and over 3000 extras a Gedön source came out with this in advance. Besides Sony’s own sound in front of the edge.

Heating with timer T8 Hybrid?
Hello, I have configured my new thickness and am confused…. So far I had the diesel with preheater. The new one is to become the T8 hybrid this time. Ultimate equipment. The configurator says preheater with timer incl. I sent the config to my friend. He says that the T8 hybrid has no preheater and can not be ordered either. I called Volvo Germany today and asked how it is possible to configure a car and display the preheater there as incl. and the friend can not order it for me. The statement was: You have to trust the seller. My question here in the round has someone currently ordered a T8 hybrid and stands on the binding order the preheater on it?

Starting at the 2025 XC90 (before facelift)
With my last XC90 I was used to the vehicle being slightly “rolled” when you were on D and not on the brake. For 2 weeks now I have a new XC90, MJ2025, AAOS – with which it is no longer like that. it seems as if AutoHold is active, although this is not displayed. The car is practically no longer rolling on itself, I always have to actively push the accelerator pedal. that is particularly annoying if you want to “rantasten” something. Does someone know the problem ? is that with the new models so ? I was always used to rolling on the automatic gear if you don’t actively brake – no matter which brand.

Raise the V40 rear
I mounted a trailer coupling on my Volvo V40 about a year ago. My property entrance is relatively high and steep. And the V40 has a relatively long overhang from the rear axle to the rear. That’s how it comes that, when it comes to load or with the trailer, the trailer coupling crashes over the ground in my driveway. I would like to put the car 3 to 4 cm higher in the back. How can it be done the easiest and cheapest way? My idea would be to simply mount an additional rubber ring over the rear axle spring. So of the original simply an additional one. However, I have no idea if this fits. And how does this affect the axle geometry?

Rust trap on V40
Hi people. Actually, I just wanted to remove an ugly rust spot on the fender … After the dismantling of the left wing I saw that was the extent. I also took down the threshold covering. Luckily only the area in front of the door was affected. The right fender is immediately renewed as this also starts to bloom.. Does anyone know if it can do anything to seal the wheelhouse ? The fender is fixed to the bottom with 2 screws. But there is no opening where water or dirt can get out .. What is the big foam wedge. ? Just for sound insulation ? Would thank you for useful information since Friday the new fenders arrive.

Volvo V70 I Sc-802 exchange for radio with bluetooth freeprech
Hi, in my Volvo V70 is still the old SC-802. Navi is permanently installed separately, so I don’t need new. So far I have operated with my old mobile phone with headphones but now I actually have an iphone and therefore want to play a bluetooth hands-free device and also music from iphone. I don’t think the Parrots are so good for this because they loop the sound in. That’s not really great with the music. I had therefore thought to change the radio. Is it right that I don’t need a aperture with a double-din radio like JVC KW-XR811? Is it still right that I don’t need an extra blind with a din radio like Kennwood KDC-BT42U and only have to install the mounting compartment for the 2nd dinschach? Can you get me a radio that is musically clear with Ipod/iphone and that has a BT free-draw system? Would there be an alternative over the switcher connection of the SC-802?

Vehicle with Nivomat hangs lower left
I didn’t find anything in the search function, so new question: My V70 T5 with Nivomat and Volvo sports suspension hangs about 2.5 cm lower on the left and right. This difference remains essentially the same whether loaded or not, i.e. the Nivomat on the left lifts the vehicle higher when driving, but not at the level of the right nivomate. Can you change it with spring exchange (beside) or are there other reasons (rubber bearings, etc.)? Does the influence on the driving behaviour? I may be a little oversensitive, but have a bad feeling when braking in fast motorway curves: the rear seems to push outwards. With rental vehicles I drive from time to time, there is no such impression under the same conditions. Matthias
