Hello, we momemtan specifically with the idea to buy our first Dickelch, after we slowly but surely become more dissatisfied with userem Voyager (quality, workshop annoyance etc.) Since it is not yet clear whether to buy a used model or buy a new 2007 model, I would be interested in your opinion about the three submissible engine versions of the D5: 1. Purchase of a 163 hp model (until approx.8.2005) would be the cheapest variant, but the weakest engine with the famous start-up weakness 2. Purchase of a 2006 with 185 hp, i.e. before the FL good machine, but as a used vehicle clearly more expensive 3. Purchase of a new 2007er with 185 hp and particle filter Since the XC90 from the private chatule has to be paid, I see between the three variants a cost rating of 35,000 to 45,000 resp. 45,000 (new purchase) Certainly the 2007 when reselling is by far the most sought-after model, followed by the 2006 with 185 hp. The old with 163 hp then there are clear disadvantages, as well as to the increase of the fuel consumption.

Hi together, my moose is really worried for the first time. At the Alpenrace I pushed the behavior still on the steep passes – but even there T5-Kusi wrote that it should not get so hot (with him was no movement of the Temp. indicator from the middle position fixed). At least outside temperatures above +30°C. I drive the XC70 now since 2003 and have seen the Temp. pointer still NIE above the middle of the instrument scale. Even in the AWD use in high summer with trailer operation not! The error now occurs however also at night drives (approx. +20°C and at high (>200km/h) speeds here in D. First it was noticed with Saturday morning (Switzerland, at first pass). The Temp. went quite fast and stopped at the beginning of the red area …

After my change of vehicle from D5 to 2,4d with Heico Chip 190PS, my insurance now “finally” sends me the billing with calculation of the insurance contributions. Result: Compared to the previous year significantly increased contributions! I then recalculated with my data and notice that the insurance has increased the contribution by almost 40% in the vehicle insurance – without stating reasons. A phone call has gone ahead, by wanting to have accurate documents about vehicle new value and costs of chipting, which I of course sent without any consideration. Have you experienced similar experience? Who can give me an insurance that allows this registered and approved chip without surcharge? I currently pay despite SF11 full 700,- in the half-year liability and TK/VK, in direct comparison with the HUK, for example, that would be about twice what would be possible according to my key numbers and other data… philipp
