  • S80 II- which jack?

    What about a grey time ago: Which jack fits for the S80 II? The progress needed me the breakdown kit and took the jack. Since I have always converted myself from winter to summer in the spring, I would like it again this year. But the new moose no longer has a jack on board. According to the operating instructions it is probably a shearer truck lifter again. I already looked out in the bay. So far without success. That’s why now my question to the “Exschberten”: Which “old” Volvo truck lifter fits the S80 II? What is the cost of this new thing? I don’t like to experiment with any temporary equipment. Thank you in advance! Greetings from the Ostelch

  • Is there something like that?

    Moin! I’m about to decide to buy the XC 60. It would be my first Volvo. It would also have to do right. Currently I drive about 50,000 to 60,000 kilometers a year, up to 80% BAB share. And because I don’t have any experience with Volvos at all, would I like to know from the cared-for Volvo drivers whether Volvos – especially the XC 60 – have any typical diseases, any repetitive abnormalities or similar? After three years, is the clutch gone after 150,000 kilometres? Do the spray water nozzles freeze all the time? What is there to discover at Volvo? Rejoice me for every meaningful answer! Thank you and best regards to the forum! Vik.

  • Premium sound no longer from Dynaudio?

    When viewing the new sales documents, did you see that the Premium Sound is still available on all models, but the Dynaudio logo has disappeared everywhere? The images have lost the emblem and the listing doesn’t speak of it anymore… Does anyone know anything about it? New supplier or new strategy?

  • V70 D5 MJ. 2013 to 2009

    Hello municipality, last week I received my new V70 D5, Geartronic, pro edition. Leasing of the old (V70 D5 Summum, GT 185Ps Built 2009) had expired. What I noticed so far. Positive:- GT works better with the new D5 – Consumption better than the old (compared to a week……) – I like Sensus so far… – Headlights shine better the road out of negative:- new steering is more direct than in the old but also difficult he – the chassis seems to me harder tuned All in all I believe that the old man was quieter and rounder than the new one. The new one seems more sporty. Has anyone had the same experiences…..????

  • New moose (Black Beauty) is here

    Hello Volvo community, for a few days now our second XC 60 has arrived with us! It is a D5 AWD Geartronic (Mod. 2012). Features: summum / driving assistance package / xenium package / speed-dependent power steering / LM rims Fenrir 19 ́ / metallic paint / level control / front panels R-Design… My first impressions compared to the predecessor D5 AWD (2009): engine is a force and pulls off from the stand without turbo hole. Sound very beautiful from sonor grumbling to sporty fauc Hend – just typical five-cylinder. I like this engine – but I have already discussed that elsewhere. Geartronic switches very soft and fast Sensus really great – really a huge advance compared to the predecessor 😉 Panorama roof leaves a lot of light in the hut and creates a very generous room feeling. In short: I am super satisfied and am looking forward to every ride 😉 A friend of ours (drives a Q5) also made a short test ride and was totally “Wow pulls it away – is this actually a diesel – mine sounds like a tractor! However, your Q5 is also a 4-cylinder (2.0 TDI / 170 hp). I have also looked at the Q5 even more closely and find the interior well processed and beautiful (S-Line). Nevertheless, I personally like the Volvo better – that’s why I bought the car… Many greetings The Black Foot-Retriever P.S. With some pictures of the test drive – more pictures will follow shortly (when the weather plays along).

  • V70 short purchase advice

    Hello together, have the short-term possibility to switch from my v50 to a V70 D5: Offer of private: EZ 09.09 50.800 km Momentum with full leather, xenon, automatic, AHK, family package, metallic, winter tires, Volvo checkbook, 1st hand. Price 16.300 € fixed car makes a well-kept impression. What do you think, price o.k. or for 3.5 year old vehicle too high? List price is supposed to have been around 50,000 €?! Best regards Nero (which the V70 would already be very attractive :-))))

  • Again a new one in the country 🙂

    Hi! A “new” V70 rides in the Hessenlande. Got the manor on Friday, here the key data: V70 base, year 12/2009, 66000km, 2.0D with 100kW, the following extras (according to MyVolvo): -Smoker package -Textile floor mats, color-adapted -door protection rear, electric -emergency wheel incl. jack -child seats 2-stage (2), rear integrated -Select -Select Plus -family package -DVD “Europa” for RTI navigation system -airbag, front passenger side switch off -leather steering wheel -default engine designation -leather switch/select lever -multifunction steering wheel -driver and passenger seat heatable -speed control system -Audio package “High Performance Sound” -light cleaning system -LM rim CREON 225/55 R16 -Dual-Xenon headlights, dipped/blending light -Comfort Package -Operating manual and dealer directory -Interior air quality system -RTI navigation system incl. DVD drive -freephone device with Bluetooth® interface -speed-dependent power steering Is it normal that you can’t drive the 2.0D at 50kmh in the fifth gear without being tormented? The grandis of my girlfriend (also a reversing warning system), however, seems to have been replaced by something else, at least that doesn’t appear with MyVolvo. Of course I have a few questions, is my first Volvo, I come directly from nem Corsa B… . -Is there a possibility to always keep the cruise control active? n 2.0D) doesn’t cause any problems. -Are there any things worth knowing that are not in the manual? E.g. any funny keyboard compositions or similar? Otherwise I hope that I don’t have to ask for help too often here.

  • XC60 D5 – Questions about: VolvoOnCall + Heating, FullService, Insurance

    Hello list, we are dealing with the VolvoXC60 D5 AWD, which we want to grow for 5 years – really a very nice car. Now I need your experience with this model: Preheater Can the heater remote control (via SMS) also be operated when the running time for the VolvoOnCall has expired? If not, what does the extension for VolvoOnCall cost for another year? Full Service And who has from you a Volvo ProFullService (maintenance, wear and warranty) Is it worth it, or do you prefer to put a monthly amount aside? Comfort suspension Is this still suitable for quick cornering ;-)? FaceLift Here it is worth waiting until the end of the year, since then the new or revised engines will come, correct? Thank you for an info BigTanti911
