  • do birds stand on silver?

    Hello together. I’ve been driving a Volvo s80 2.9l bj. 2004 for 5 months now. The color is silver met. Now to the point. My father drives a black met. Mercedes e-class I drive a Volvo s80 silver met. and with me the birds always shit on the car and not on the Mercedes. The Mercedes is standing just next to my car but always gets my cracker :s ^^ I cleaned it up today and washed it afterwards I went home to eat. After an hour I went to my car and what do I see? Bird shit on my roof on the hood and outside mirror. I already have a garage but if I take my car out for the weekend every time ^^ I bought the car in Genve but lived 300km further away in eastern Switzerland at Lake Constance. But I don’t think the birds have followed me What do you mean…is that it’s the color? or do I just have bad luck? gruss jimmy

  • …. I also did it… XC 60 D4 ordered

    Meal, I have already been reading here for some time and try to absorb as much information as possible. I have now ordered an XC 60 D4 with 8-speed geartronic in Powerblau (though the finance minister wished) in the summum version. There is also: Sensus Connect High Performance driver assistance package keyless drive LM R18 Leda black active xenon with dyn. corner light rain sensor dig. instrumentation cruise parking back leather cushions (unfortunately no sports seats) Against payment has been booked: Sensus Navigation parking aid front rear camera climate package VOC (Volco on call, standing heating, rear seats heated, steering wheel heating) side and rear window darkened I did not use the rear flap automatic system because it was partly reported about problems and on the composite glass variant in side and rear windows to change it anyway, but it would be interesting to know something later.

  • Smart Repair ?

    I actually wanted to take pictures of our 4 weeks of new V60 for you… I’ve lost my pleasure at the moment. When I came back from shopping, shock. See photos. Of course nobody saw anything, the causer has turned out of the dust. That would build a new bumper, 1200 €. Smart repair would cost 150 €. The paintmaker thinks that, after the smart repair, everything is optically good and you also see no color difference. How are your experiences?

  • our new one is almost there

    our new XC70 OR is almost there hello together. my wife and I did it and ordered us an XC70 OR D5 in the march. now it is almost there and unfortunately stands still until next Friday at the dealer, because the trailer coupling is retrofitted. am curious if it is also as reliable as our vw bora, which we have driven more than 6 years without any problems. I hope that the all-wheeler proved itself, especially in winter with trailer. the all-wheel drive should not have been so great so far, but has been apparently improved. since someone has experiences with the instant traction system and geartronic? thanks for your answer. XC70 OR d5 185 ps – geartronic – radio 850 – navi – telephone – all-leather – all-leather layers alu silver – stand heating – hanger coupling

  • Whirlpool landing gear

    Hello everyone! I have the impression that the V70 has a corrosive poltriges chassis. Especially in the rear, driving over bumps sounds so stupid. The car was driven from 2005 and only 15,000 km. I often have the comparison to other cars. So I like the Scorpio in the suspension much better! The Volvo automatic transmission (170 hp gasoline) is not so stupid either. Here and there Ruckeln and when turning then the 2nd gear goes in, he doesn’t have to! And if you then give gas, it jerks more, the 2nd is inside, but 2 seconds later the 3rd gear again. Senseless switching operations. Is not my car, but I would never spend so much money for it.

  • my new V50 =)

    Hello together, because I was always happy when jmd. introduced his new elk, I do it now. Because last week Tuesday I was able to pick up my new company car: Volvo V50 2.0D Momentum, titangrey met., 17′ Zaurak rims (grey lacquered!), business package (Navi, Bluetooth phone, …) High Performance, Dalatech anthracite Had a V50 of the first series before and was really happy. This one is already MY 2009 and after the first 1,300km I am enthusiastic. I took a few pictures and set them here. I especially like the combination of the color with the rims. Was there before quite uncertain, because painted rims are actually not so my case… What do you mean? Greeting, kranzi

  • Finding a solution for the eternal topic: Top speed

    I am now unfortunately the owner of a brand new V50 2.0D MY2009, which under no circumstances managed to reach only 200km/h. I gave a really good V50 2.0D MY 2004, which always reached 220km/h on the straight line, downhill even (according to Tach just over 230) And I am very angry about it, because this topic is already a problem for soooooo for a long time and Volvo apparently NOTS about the quality fluctuations at PSA even tried to change. Before I commissioned my friend with the problem, I wanted to know here in advance whether there are now effective solutions for the problem (software update, new valves, air mass meters etc.). With the model 2009 I had not expected to do so, but it is a pity for one’s heart if the Bock from 190 simply did not accelerate further. Should the deviation continue to be so significant (more than 5 percent probably according to previous jurisprudence) the car will probably go back to the dealer soon, however it does for that then. I have so far made many good experiences with the V50, but I am very grateful for the help again.

  • Wipe without ignition key!?

    Moinsen! I just noticed something strange… Bzw.. Had I once, I just thought wrong. The following: My ignition key is in my pocket. Vehicle is open. Just the front window was still full of raindrops. “Miracle” and suddenly the disc is free again. Meaning: it was wiped! Now the question is: normal is not that, right? I drove the car last time with a rain sensor turned on – was like that also last time. However, if you pull off the key it should be off after all, right!? It definitely wiped. I did not have a second key here, so no one can plug it. Key is also not in the car. Wipe levers don’t go either. Is that someone else already happening? Say: Wipe in front move without doing anything…!?

  • Volvo’s Integrated Child Seat

    For example, I’m not sure that I’m a little bit tired of having a baby seat. Why? 1. the problems of a non-Volvo Isofix seat are still quite well known to me, but the fact that I’m a little tired of having a baby seat for children from 9kg to 18kg. 2. my son has now reached the threshold to the integrated child seat (97cm and 15kg, 3 years), at least according to Volvo. So I bought the cover with a side pölster and headrest. When I took it away, it turned out that the headrest is far too high, which was commented by the dealer with the words, “that’s only for sleeping and not as protection!” My humble view as a doctor needs a 3 year old child in a serious side crash very well a support of the head! In addition, when sleeping, my child seat is always worthless because the rest position of the rear seat does not offer enough comfortable sleeping position to me, and a small child needs to sleep in the car. The belt is dangerously close to the neck.

  • Non-definable, rare noise from the engine

    Hello guys, for some time I’ve been driving a V40 1.8 with 122hp BJ 2004. So far he didn’t have any big flaws. Now I’ve noticed a noise which is very rare to hear (here in the video you hear it).Video noise Until now the noise has occurred when the engine has been cold. Today it has also occurred after a 20 minute drive. You can only hear it when the engine is running in the stationary gas, during the ride there is nothing to hear. I hope you can help me quickly and give me the fear that it might be something bigger. Greetings Max
