  • Oil consumption of the XC90

    Good evening, does someone have (responsible) experience with the oil consumption of the XC90? I have a VW T5 with the unspeakable 2.0l BiTurbo engine, which now, like apparently all T5 after at least 80-90.000tkm, now enjoys a good 1-1.5 l per 1000km. According to my dealer, this is unfortunately normal, a well-known VW problem with the T5. With my Octavia RS, which also has a 2.0l engine, only every 25,000 km or just during the year inspection the oil has changed so far I did not have to refill. My father-in-law has a brand new Alfa Giulietta, since it is already in the manual that between 200-500ml per 1000km are consumed. That can not be normal, can it?

  • Purchase advice XC90 T8 Hybrid

    Hello dear community, I came across an XC90 T8 (R-Design) from the year 2016 with ~140.000 km. We (2 small children, my wife and me) have a compact Karoq, but Volvo has always liked both of us. During a business trip I had one and was really excited about it. Now to the question: Are there any experiences of you about this type or possible concerns? Our Karoq drives quite well, did not even 40.000km on it, but the Volvo has already done a little bit to me. I am unwise if I should switch to an older used car after 4 years with significantly more kilometers. Besides, I would also have to pay a little money on it. But the Volvo offer itself is good. Thank you very much for your feedback! Greetings

  • Is a screw a wear part ?

    During the last maintenance of my C30 year 07 (80 Tkm) it was noticed that the two screws with which the soot particle filter was attached to the engine were broken off. As a possible cause the friendly person called a “bad” or possibly even a loose screw and subsequent break of the then overburdened single screw. However, one can exclude a damage due to sportive driving or the like. Not quite satisfied with this answer I turned to the Volvo customer service, which has not yet penetrated to a correct opinion, let itself specified feedback deadlines pass and not report further. On the phone one speaks there now of a wear part and consoled on a soon coming, but probably (for me) not too positive opinion. What do you think of the history?

  • Xenon – Light cone and light range regulation

    Hello everyone, wanted to ask me about your experiences with the xenon light. At my V50 (MY 2010, without autom. cornering light) it is the case that for example with the large signposts, which stand sideways to the right of the highway, the lower half is brightly illuminated, while the upper half with sharp border appears clearly darker. If the road is still a bit uneven then the light cone begins to “jump”, which is clearly visible and very irritating because of the sharp separation. Since I have not noticed this yet with any other car, the question: is this the same with you or are the headlights turned off? Besides, does someone know in which situations the automatic light-width regulation after, only with stronger loading or also with gradients/falls etc.? Thank you already in advance!

  • XC90 D5 2009 Momentum vs. Summum

    Good morning forum, yesterday evening my has made me an almost immoral offer. A new XC90 D5 almost in 1-1immediate leasing exchange to my beloved XC70 D5. So replacement of the lease agreement 5 months before the end of the term. The Dickelch would be in momentum equipment with automatic, dark disks, Xenon, Opa-Radar and RTI. Unfortunately without a phone, but as 7 seaters. Color Uni-Black – Leather Anthracite. Now the thing with the fixed installation is not a huge issue, if there is a clever BT plant. My question should I take instead Momentum 7 seater better a summum 5 seater? Family and professional this would also be full enough, the story with the 7-seats is just a nice gimmick, Zg at children’s birthdays. Is there at XC90 actually 4-c and there is the telfon in the summum equipment included? I have seen nothing in the configurator. The question is what the summum large from the o. I am grateful for your equipment.

  • V70 D5 Monday car

    Hello Volvo friends. did any of you have similar bad experience with his V70 as I did? Drive a D5 black edition, geartronic since April 04. As a frequent driver until the first inspection was 20,000 km at the beginning of June, everything was ok. but since the… a total of 6 workshop stays, three times defective injectors of the comonrail system, a completely defective battery… Let’s see how this goes on… How Volvo does I not know yet, one is testing and researching. However, the Voco dealer in Straubing shows himself extremely cooperative! Has someone from you experience how easily Volvo new vehicles are converted? or are 50 to 60 Tkm annual running performance for a Volvo too much? Thank you and greeting, Msi

  • Interior noise levels VOLVO XC60

    Hello, since the end of November 21 owns a Volvo XC60 B4 AWD Inscription. Feels the generally comfortable vehicle however as quite loud, above all unrolling and chassis noises can be heard clearly. At low speeds also the diesel is very present. Once with a sound measurement app the noises recorded during the ride, the Db values are very high in my opinion. So I had values up to 79dbA at country road speed (80-100km/h) and on average 71dbA. Also in urban traffic I reach values up to 70dbA. Acoustic glazing is not installed, independently of that these values seem to me to be too high. Does anyone of you have similar experiences or considers these values too high? How reliable the app values are, remains open, however, they coincide with the feeling that the vehicle is much too loud for its premium claim. Thanks for your feedback!

  • Volvo V60 Bright or Black

    Hello together I’m just about to configure my 2nd V60. My current is a D4 AWD, black, Inscription. In the future it will be a T6 Recharge – maybe also as XC. I’m still unreliable with the color scheme. Find black the currently best color for the V60, but constantly fluctuate between the versions Bright (with chrome) and Black (without). I wonder how the whole of the new model year without exhaust works. Has anyone already got delivered or seen this in the showroom? I know… taste thing, but I’m interested in your opinions.

  • once again oil trap

    I’m in the oil trap right now, has already smoked properly from the oil spill and filler plugs, but zero oil consumption, therefore yes oil trap in suspicion, now everything is removed, but hoses and oil trap are completely free, nothing with oil coal or anything else, then the one hose goes from the oil trap to the back direction Turbo, which goes directly into the hose that comes from the air filter, before that the hose goes from the oil trap and a vacuum hose is still a contact where a plug belongs to it but no one is at it???? Find now in the dark also no plug that hangs loosely, but had also switched gears and there was also no one over and had to expand everything. Listen now to this now a cable and is to blame that it blocks so? Bzw there is perhaps no underpressure that the oil trap needs? Have from my oil trap 4 openings, 2 are above, in the new one I have only an opening above, so I have thankfully bought for the wrong binip!

  • jerks on gas when warm, on gasoline normal

    Hello, Eckdaten: 2,5 10V Bj 96 242TKm Gasanlage prins vsi I’m about to start with my problem: A friend and I drove from Dresden to Halle last night. Since she drove and was still a beginner she still had her problems with the clutch and the feeling with the gas giving(is yes normal) Where we arrived in Halle and were full of traffic she was then a bit overwhelmed and I thought I gave full throttle and then really slowly let the clutch come… I thought so my poor Volvi:/ He drives on gas really modesty! He jerks and stutters and doesn’t get back on the road anymore. I then drove back to Dresden yesterday only on petrol again. Today early on and briefly drove on gasoline, then switched on and he ran on gas relatively normal but with rising water temperature it became as bad as yesterday!? Besides, the on-board computer shows when starting 50l/100km!!!?? Also I now use at 50kmh 10l in the 5th course before it was 6l before! Do you have an idea to do something about it?
