Huhu her specis So, I’ve been in there since Saturday (wedding from my brother -> father drove my car) Macken in the pram body or pram pot (as it was called in the pre-airbag era) which bothers me quite strongly. Since my father is probably of the opinion that one had to hit on the steering wheel to press the horn (are probably still the remnants from his British Leyland vehicle time) the notches are quite deep or have sharp edges. Since I would not like to buy a brand new airbag from Volvo and for replacement do not want to have an accident, someone knows if you can get them out somehow? Say: use hair dryer or iron to smooth? Somehow, whenever I don’t drive my car but let it drive, something gets damaged. Be it rim, aluminum console, steering wheel or body kit… Something afterwards is always damaged… Greetings Damien

Hello together, and again our vehicle has a problem. Many of you certainly know our suffering story, which has been going on for four years now. Why and why the car was already almost 20 times in the workshop I don’t want to repeat now, for that I would certainly need several hours. Anyway, our vehicle has been making funny noises for about two weeks now when the engine is switched off. I just uploaded this to Youtube and maybe one of you can say what this might be.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pccTVyzQCw0 LG Mo

Hello together, I would like to be interested if someone has had to change their water pump? If so, what is the fun (I mean completely with tension/turning rollers belt) I was told by an acquaintance that this would only be possible in the Volvo workshop because the water pump has to be trained somehow during the new installation with the software or something? I can’t believe that somehow because the W-pump is finally a mechanical part —- gruss attila

I thought, after the V50 (of course also the S40 counts) is already a while on the market, we could tell our new readers at a glance how satisfied we are (or not). Fill out this questionnaire about you: Vehicle: V50 Motorization: T5 KM-Stand: still innocent 15’700 First registration: 22.3.2005 Satisfied in %: now 100 flaws: The first friend was not able to recreate the Xenon’s and repair the drooling washing nozzle. After the 2nd attempt at the 2nd friendly one everything worked wonderfully. Improvement suggestions: Laderraumrollo – Mulde for umbrella is too deep, in general the boot design is too deep. Would you buy your car exactly at the same time? Oh Yes!

Good day together, now it also caught me…. this morning car turned on, and got message in BC…. (meaning) ABS maintenance necessary, along with the small yellow symbol with the hurling car…. Was then directly at the Volvo dealer and he read out that probably something with the ABS or the hydraulics is wrong…. a new hydraulic unit must probably a The fun should cost according to workshop 1900EUR incl. installation… – realistic? Someone en Tip, how you can solve this other way? MY 2008 – EZ 04/07 – 13.000 km

Hello Elchreiter, I’m asking for your help Have the choice between a passat 1.9 (2004) with 150 tkm and a V50 2.0 D Kinetic (11/2006) with 165 tkm. Both for 6,000 negotiating base. Since I’m quite undecided and know myself better with VW, I would like to hear your opinion now: 1. The 1.9 engine from the passat is very robust, how does it look with the 2.0 from Volvo? 2. What about the km from the Volvo? My uncle has worked for Volvo in Sweden for over 20 years and he says that the 165 tkm are eig. nix for the Volvo…how’s that right? (someone’s experience with it?) 3. What about the maintenance at Volvo, especially with the model mentioned here and at this age? Will the V50 be more susceptible to damage with age? (one thinks that it’s a family coach and probably well handled it, driven by a lady and checkbook.) Will the V50 be more susceptible to damage with age?

Hello – even if some will write to me, that has to be – for my/our safety – so the anschanllton is annoying and on the other hand, especially if you just park in a narrow garage more than unpleasant, and on the other hand I don’t want to let the so-called patronage society walk me – I still know what to do or let go. I also strap on, but not if I maybe drive a few meters backwards etc. Just so much too stupid Antwor The cable can be cut, but there must be something more elegant. For really helpful answers I am very grateful to you, for better-knowing answers I have no understanding, am old enough to know what I am doing. Dear greetings to all who are sceptical about the ban society. Volvo C70, D5, Summnun with all the frills and frills.

Hello everybody, I’ve been a proud C70 owner for three days (D5, black, summum, navigation, high performance, Mirzam) and I ordered a USB and iPod® Music interface from the factory to save a CD changer. Now this interface somehow doesn’t work. Maybe you can help me… I plugged my iPod classic (5. G, 160 Gb) onto the cable in the armrest on the middle tunnel; then the Volvo logo and the message “connecte” appear quickly on the iPod display. d” If I press the “mode” button on the keypad of the center console, only the options “CD” and “Aux” appear in the display, however according to the manual the option “iPod/USB” should appear. The USB cable does not work either – if I plug the supplied USB stick into the USB cable, the stick lights up (so it gets juice), but on the display also only the options “CD” and “Aux”. If I make a completely stupid error or I actually have to make an appointment at the Fre I’m happy about any feedback! Christoph: I’m looking for a mistake in my (new!) car.

hello friends, I’ve been having a C70 D5 summum for a few weeks now and I’ve noticed a few small things where the designers probably had a small memory error or I’m just too stupid to implement it – let’s start with the “bottom lights” in the outside mirrors, I find they’re too weak for one thing to illuminate something and on the other hand they only light up the upper part of the door so not to the floor – the electrically adjustable driver’s seat has a good and a “bad” side the good: the storage of the seat position and mirror settings, for up to 3 drivers, since I do not drive the car alone, you save yourself the constant adjustment of your beloved positions. the “bad”: if someone wants to get in the back you have to press the button on top and the seat moves forward at the snail’s pace and the same back again…… so who wants to get in the rain back or has the honor a If you can press the button, you should wear a umbrella or a waterproof jacket, since it is allowed to stand in the rain – but the best idea, which has unfortunately not been thought to end, is the loading aid….. I think it’s great to press the button and that the roof now rises in the trunk around about 30 cm, but why have the constructors here on listened further to think, that the safety cover in the trunk can be lifted 1-2 cm and then she also comes to the roof in the rear part of the trunk and so I don’t get to the things that are under the cover, or I don’t get anything under the cover……. or do I just do something wrong, for suggestions I am always to have – where we are in the trunk, I have a real spare wheel in it, which is in a “bag” (you know it from the wind bulkhead), but the wheel looks out over the edge of the hollow, which in turn means that you don’t have a straight floor in the trunk has. According to mine there is also no plastic cover that compensates for this and therefore polders and purrs the boxes water and beer cheerfully through the opposite…… if you don’t just like “elkmann” 6 boxes of water and 2 boxes of wheat put into the trunk ……. and he has no resereverad Note: I have NOT ordered the spare wheel extra, it was already in there my C70 is a “used” otherwise I am very satisfied with the car

Hello dear C70II fan community, to make the thing a little more manageable (since we had reported about it in 2 other forums in the meantime) a new Tread to the next meeting on [date updated by boisbleu] 13/14.09.2008 in 57271 Hilchenbach – Allenbach. This is located in the southern NRW, in the “Trilandereck” Nordrhein-Westfalen / Rheinlandpfalz / Hessen. Great area with lots of landscape, great curves and lies at 350 to almost 800 meters height. We already have some registrations, the I’m going to take a look and tap it down in the next time, but I don’t think that Brigitte / Ticinella will answer the most burning questions of yours in the meantime. We don’t open this thread in the Volvo meeting thread to keep things somewhat manageable (just want to get the cleanest C70II Volvo ride in the future). rides and drivers , but are otherwise not snobbed ) Best regards Uwe
