  • My new baby

    Juppi… after 9 weeks of pregnancy my moose has passed into my care today As an old MT bunny I present the new one immediately MIT images To the vehicle: V60 1.6 DRIVe Momentum Black Stone Leather Soft beige steering wheel 2-coloured wooden inserts Urban Wood laminated glass Xenon with cornering light 4-C suspension with Servotronic Keyless Premium Sound System DAB Radio RTI Navigation Floor heating Seat heating Rear camera First impression: super nice car. Performance is absolutely sufficient if I have to get used to the diesel characteristics again. Consumption on the first 15 km = 6.2 Ltr. But that will certainly correct down. Inside you can hear surprisingly little of the diesel. I haven’t set the premium sound to my taste yet, but so far it sounds very good. Sensus I still have to study – there are countless possibilities for adjustment. I can do much more after the few kilomes. I’m afraid I’m not saying it yet, but I’m sure I’m going to continue my experience here.

  • Gasket injectors on the XC70 II (2014) with D4 engine at a good 70,000 km normal?

    I had always thought a lot about Volvo, but now I’m starting to doubt it. After a good 3 years our XC70 (5.2014) at 72,800 km no longer got a TÜV because oil came out in several places. Although we had to go on holiday (booked for a ferry) it was already difficult to persuade the friendly person to take care of the matter at all. We had booked the smaller of the warranty extensions (until 2019), which however, as it turns out does not cover much. The result: 800 EUR for the Repara I have to admit that some people had warned me about the newer engines (drive Volvo for 20 years), but that’s not satisfactory. I myself have been driving a Mercedes Diesel for 30 years, so I think it would be unthinkable. Is it really normal for the Volvo D4 to expect such damage, even though the car has been running for 30 years? is 3.5 years old and has 72,500km down? How can such an engine last for 200,000 km or more? Or is this now “Made in China” and you have to get used to something like this with a “Premium” car? Too bad!

  • Buy XC 70 again?

    Hello together (now in the right subforum). I was long no longer here in the forum, my XC 70 of 2003 (purchased 04) drove just. 13 years. From central Italy to Narvik. Now he will probably leave me, at over 250,000 km. Heavy defect at the Haldex, rear axle, differential. Repair probably no longer worth. Otherwise everything ok, 1. engine, 1. transmission, no gram rust. Always stood outside. I drove the car like said 13 years gladly, and after every car rental (also Mercedes, A) udi …) I was glad to have mine again. On the other hand: my workshop has earned relatively often and well on me. 3 injectors, all four springs, charge air coolers, always the heater and what else. But anyway, at the age it was allowed and nice it was anyway. I come to the point: now I could possibly have a well-equipped XC 70 from 2012 with 140,000 km. My question to you: What experiences are there for the new model (especially compared to the old one). clear: experiences are subjective, but it would help me a little if the tenor of your comments were “immediately” or “finger away”. Best regards Woernie

  • Brake assembly failure?

    Moin. I recently took over a V70, in which the brakes (dishes/blocks) were made. Now I noticed a really bad metal sound twice, as if a sheet metal was grinding on the disc. This could only be fixed by a little backwards driving. If I look at the rear brakes like this, the thin mounting plates look different. To one have the up to 5 mm distance (HL1) or stop also, on the other hand, the end noses were bent only with one sheet (HR2). Question: Can it be that they move so mounted and then grind slightly on the disc? Brain

  • D5 Intake noise

    Hello, I’m starting a new thread to find out why my D5’s tone and running culture and idleness are constantly changing. To the car: V70 D5 (185PS) switch, 210000 km, BJ 2009. The problem: injectors have been cleaned and tested at Bosch. Everything in the target range, errors in the system are also not deposited. Swivel flap is not suspended. If the lever is off, very smooth and not oily. Engine bearings are also good. Exhaust system has been tested and is It starts very well and has a soft, normal run for the first seconds. But sometimes and more and more often the sound changes into a hollow noise, especially when changing loads. Give gas, take everything away normally. Little gas or gas completely –> hollow noise as if a chamber is opened. It doesn’t always do all this and happens in combination with occasionally bumpy idle, rarely even a slight drop in the speed, which catches itself again. In addition, a light Trembling at constant speed, with little gas. I’m annoyed… where can I still look? AGR? Charging pressure valve?

  • XC60 Automatic in Frost Weather

    Hello, the automatic of my XC60 D3 FWD (40,000 km) always requires 2-3 km of driving distance at outside temperatures below 0 degrees until it switches normally after a cold start. Is this normal? Until then I would have to cheer up the engine speedwise in order to get from the place. At some point it switches as usual and everything is good. Is this a bug or a feature?

  • V60 “Put higher”?

    Hello together, I’m thinking if I should leave my V60 a few centimetres more high. Reason: The entry becomes easier (you don’t fall quite as deep) and more ground clearance. Then looks a little like a V60 CC. I find this quite chic. Is there someone here who has experience with such a thing? Which increase is recommended and can also be implemented without additional TÜV visit? I found a website with offers for the V60: https://www.spac cer.com/en. However, they call 1000 eurons for around 45 mm. (depending on the version). Is this perhaps a bit cheaper? I am very grateful for tips and links!

  • Tires changed- jacks bent?

    Hello, I only changed the winter tires today (I didn’t get there sooner due to a stay abroad). I noticed a “cracking and I have the feeling that the car jacks have bent a bit at the front of the two car jacks on the rear axle. Has any of you already experienced similar things? I have used such a universal car lifter, which I already used for another, smaller one. Do you think this is normal or have I done something wrong or even broken? Can you do anything wrong if you place the jack correctly at the jacking points? I have attached some photos. Do you think this essay is more gentle for the car?https://www.amazon.de/…/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?__mk_en_DEÅMÅZÕÑ&qid=1530739441&sr=8-1-spons&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=car lifter+rubber pad&psc=1 Thanks a lot in advance!

  • XC60 Bj 2015 could not be braked while braking assistant intervened!!

    Dear community, vll you’ve already heard of this braking problem of the XC 60 Bj 2015. I need your help if you know articles about it… would be great if you could send them to me. Now this is what happened: My sister slowly continued with my XC 60 bj 15 in a KOlonon. The driver in front of her braked a bit stronger and she braked as well… however, her reaction was a little too slow that the brake assistant intervened. While the brake assistant intervened, she braked But she noticed that her brake had no effect. So she got off the brake 1 2 times and braked again and harder so that she could get out of it. But she felt every time that her foot brake just didn’t have any effect. So it happened that she drove into the vehicle in front of her. Is there a known problem that when the brake assistant intervened, the vehicle brake didn’t have any effect???? I didn’t find any ARtikel on the Internet, but can you please tell me… 11th. Thanks u lg

  • tüv report and defects of v70, v60, xc60 and co

    hello all elchdrivers, is the tüvreport from the year 2018 or 2017 correctly interpreted the v/s60, v40 and xc60 appear rather low in defects with tüv but the v70 (3) or xc70 are quite bad there? v/xc70 are explicitly referred to as fault giants. one goes into the last column (tkm) one cannot deduce from this the v70 and xc70 with exorbitantly high km numbers at tüv would have presented that legitimately. even if one takes the category “2-3 years”, come the last years ( facelift, veamotor) not really well away. or am I completely wrong? sources:https://m.bild.de/…/…tuev-report-52607478,view=amp.bildMobile.htmlhttps://www.vdtuev.de/dok_view?oid=688181https://www.tuv.com/…/…Maengelzwerge_AutoBild_TUeV_Report_2017.pdf
