Hello dear Volvo community, would like to buy me a new Volvo, the lease of the old man expires. This will then become my 4th Volvo (and everyone really convinced me, I became a confessing Volvo fan), changed from the C-Class to a V-70 D5 in 2002, then the XC-90 D5 and now I have a V-70 D5. The next one is probably to become an XC 60 in R-Design, just looks great. Only which engine can you recommend me?……at the moment the T6 is my favorite……just somehow I’m a little afraid of its thirst ……. so again a D5 and then possibly with chip tuning from Heico?…Has someone already had experiences…is it worth it?…………

To all XC 60 interested people! I am so far with the car (EZ 1.1.2009) fun and tireless 33,000 km on the road. Before I had an X 5 (four years), then a Jeep Cherokee (half year…). From the automatic to the distance tempomates, from the comfortable leather seats to the memory function, from the navigation to the Bluetooth (with Blackberry 9700 also addresses visible!), from the sliding roof to the Keyless Drive, from the adaptive corner light to the parking aid, everything simply works wonderfully. No squeaking, no squeaking, no creaking (to be honest, I would not have expected that so easily)! Although I had my concerns about various childhood diseases at the time of purchase, the car was still quite new in production. Even with various tests in German journals the Q 5 and the Mercedes GLK did not always cut a little bit better than usual. However, I finally decided on the large and practical luggage room (golfer) for the XC 60 Diesel with full equipment, and I did not have to think of it up to today with a special fuel consumption of about 9. But the average.

Hello municipality, there were already some threads about it, but I want to put my finished solution to the end in a new topic. Honestly the original Navi was far too expensive for me, although it is already technically the best solution – operation via steering wheel, no own battery, neatly installed in console. These advantages are however not worth 2000 Euro extra price! Price of my variant: Console…55 EUR Navigon 8410…377 EUR DVBT module…58 EUR Installation went with FSE – installation with! Disadvantage:1. For updating the software or the cards, I have to take the aperture, but without tools with strong fingers. 2. With frequent TV operation and short distances the internal battery becomes empty and the device switches off. Switching on with office clamp over the small hole at the top left! 3. The volume on the AB is just acceptable – the headphone output is unusable and coupling Bluetooth to the FSE is unfortunately not possible – would be optimal, but unfortunately only for headsets. Despite the disadvantages I am completely satisfied with appearance and function!

What about a Volvo V60 D5 with the 205hp engine! After a few years of Audi, sometimes new, sometimes youngtimer etc. I have been convinced by a Swedes. It is a Volvo V60 D5 with the 205hp engine. I am very impressed by the workmanship and the room feeling, at least with regard to the cockpit and the rear. The hardly significant trunk could also come from a Renault or Ä (processing). But that hardly clouds the overall super impression. It is a MY11, it has run about 83000 km and is great in shot. Now to my actual problem, even if the SuFu offers some of this, the core of the problem is not sufficiently explained and solved. Cylinder head cracks, engine damage. The car has got a replacement engine at about 79000km at Volvo. Cause was a crack at the 3rd cylinder. Since the replacement engine was installed in Feb. 2015, there is a chance that this is still a better one, which I can no longer have this problem? And how can I avoid this damage? As far as I know it is a thermal problem. Warm and cold driving is of course not able to replace the oil?

“The Swedish car manufacturer Volvo has shown a first picture of its new Volvo XC90. The SUV will be presented in two weeks. More on the topic Two strong diesel The diesel range starts at 190 hp and 400 Newton metres of torque with the D4 turbo diesel, which consumes about five litres of fuel. The D5 Twin Turbo then delivers 225 hp and 470 Newton metres of torque. It is intended to consume only six litres. Two gasoline engines, one hybrid In addition, two gasoline engines will drive the XC90. The T5 delivers 254 hp and 350 Newton metres, the T6 Turbo comes to 320 hp and 400 Newton metres. The hybrid drive in the XC90 T8 is to deliver 400 hp and 640 Newton metres of torque. The “Twin Engine” drive train, according to Volvo, is to make the XC90 a plug-in electric car, a hybrid vehicle or a high-performance vehicle, depending on the driving mode chosen.
