Now have 42,000 KM down with the XC90 D5, of which about 14,000 KM with Michelin winter tires and 28,000 KM with the standard Conti summer tires. The Michelin still have almost full profile, the Conti have especially in the last months greatly degraded – 28,000 KM that is in my view much too little. So I don’t want Conti anymore (apart from that they also “sing” a bit annoyingly. Which all-wheeled summer tires can you recommend to me and how much KM do they run according to your opinion? Rolo his previous Ford Explorer over 60,000 KM ran with the first set “Firestone Wilderness AT” (which unfortunately does not exist in Germany!).

Hi together, would like to put this winch (just in case – so not daily use 😉 in the trunk. Is this garbage or could you lie down? Good ride! Torsten – the XC fan (and the price I find OK, but have no comparison/experience)

Hello, this is my first post and needs a few tips from you. I’ll order an XC90 D5 Geartronic, but I’m not sure which equipment line. Is Executive worth it and are there any disadvantages? Is the extra €900 for the premium sound system worth it? Otherwise the equipment is already fixed: RTI,PDC, Schwarmet., laminated glass, GSD, wood and 18″ Thank you for your help in advance. mihvolvo

Hello forum, now to my second fundamental question (if you can answer it at all): How does the 2.5T in the V70 compare to the D5 (163hp)? Or otherwise: Does the 2.5T harmonize well with the around 1.7 tons of the V70? Thank you in advance, Sebi70

I sat in a brand new v70 today (oooh yes!) and somehow it was a bit uncomfortable. after a while I had out what it was about: the head rest is too far ahead. so at least in the relationship to my my02. t-martin had at the spreewaldtreffen also something of uncomfortable sitting and the head rest told. but somehow I could hardly believe it =;^) now I know what he must have meant! can you somehow adjust the head rest? or do you say at volvo recently: main thing sure, unfortunately uncomfortable for that?

Hello you moose drivers, I am currently waiting for an XC90 and mine is not able to tell me exactly when the boy is coming; or he doesn’t want – so in my industry I can track every floppy from the sender to the recipient – that can UPS and how they all are called best. Can’t one really do that with the Swedes? Can’t he ask if the moose is loaded? I mean he can’t arrive before he is sent away and depending on when he is sent, then it turns out when he arrives – it really doesn’t make sense to me that this should be such an art. So in Sweden, after all, someone in the work who can ask a dealer if Auto X is on the journey and when or not? Is there any experience?

Hello readers, I have found that under unfavorable circumstances (rolling out, easy on the brake) you can accidentally get into P position too early with the automatic. Since the lock then the vehicle is very unsavory in the stand (I already happen twice ). Is there no safety? I know, the operating instructions warns beyond anything, as well as before the change between R and D except in the stand, which is also quite possible with heavy rolling. I would be afraid to let someone else on the wheel, if I knew that one can cause such a capital gear damage so easily by mistake … Can someone take care of me?

Hello all cruiser users (and all those who want to be) I have not found a meaningful connection when activating the cruiser…(manual transmission!) If the cruiser function is active, then the cruiser is taken back by clutch / accelerator or brake. If I want to use it over + or – again, it can happen that the current value is not taken over and I have to press the + button several times. Just when driving slowly at 60 km/h others are already driving so close that they can clean my rear window (because I’m getting slower now if the cruiser does not regulate). Who can tell me how to keep the current speed safe. I have tried to press + for a while, but also did not bring the result. I don’t play around with the pedals either… I’m too stupid??? First a key click must be installed which says: exactly right pressed, bingo! The keys are usually also causing problems to change the speed. If it’s because the CAN bus is sometimes not registered because otherwise important or what’s going on?

Hello, wants to buy me an XC90. A friend said today that the unlocking of the SH heater should not work anymore at the MY 06 in Holland/Belgium/usw.. Who had already had the SH unlocked at MY 06 in Holland. I live at the Dutch border and want to save me the 750 eurons and rather invest in winter tires. Greetings, XC90newbie.
