  • XC60 MY12 Touring(Comfort) suspension + Four-C = Optimum?

    What’s more, I’m talking about the XC60 and I’m in the new price list about the Touring chassis. After some searching on the net, I found the following article:the-new-volvo-v60 “… The new Volvo sports combi is available with two different chassis variants: For the European market is the dynamic chassis standard. For other markets the comfort chassis is offered as standard, and the dynamic chassis is available there as option. The difference refers to different dampers as well as the front and rear additional frames – the comfort version is slightly softer tuned and thus also allows for poor roadways a pleasant ride. … As a supplement to the two chassis variants, all Volvo V60 models can be equipped with the optional Four C (continuously Controlled chassis concept) sports suspension, which has been modified and refined compared to previous Volvo models and thus offers even more control and comfort…” In particular, from the combination option with the Four-C (which the new XC60 PL also does not include the softness) and the statement of comfort, should be made by the use of the rear gear.

  • How does the electric parking brake work?

    Hello guys, excited Due to the handbrake problem of the V70II drivers (and S60, S80, XC90) I would have liked to know how exactly the parking brake works with the newer Volvos. Sure, electric with engine – but how exactly ?? Does anyone have drawings etc?? Is it also designed as a drum brake via separate brake cheeks? Or are the pads of the normal service brake used with ? Has anyone ever used the electric HB during the (slow) ride ?? Since Volvo switched to VIDA, everything is Scheixxe Greetings, Eric

  • XC60 MY10 List of delivery times

    Hello, I expect to be able to collect many concrete statements at the present time; too contradictory are the statements here in the forum and also on the part of those regarding opening / closing of the ordering system. Nevertheless the question: Who has ordered when and what delivery date received? Maybe a list similar to this one results here I also start immediately: user => vehicle => order date => delivery date indicated when ordering => possibly corrected order date manatee => XC60 D5 summum with panoramic roof => 3.4.09 => “not available” vg – der manatee

  • Failure of the display for infotainment

    Hello, a few days ago the display in my S60 II was completely off, including all setting options. However, my VOLVO workshop didn’t display it in the error memory. Also the attempt to play a new software (for 80.- €) failed. Question to the experts: Is it possible that this failure is actually not stored in the error memory? Greeting, Gunther

  • Brake system update

    I would like to improve the braking system. Drive now ate discs and coverings. 300mm ventilated in front and 300mm unventilated in the back. There are 300 316 and 336 mm discs in front, after I drive in winter 16 inches no update is possible? How is the conversion at the back ventilated? Has anyone done this yet? Is this noticeable? Thank you!

  • Drowning while giving gas and funny crazy tires

    Hello dear Volvorianergemeinde! After a long time I actually had no reason to excite myself about my V70III D3, it comes now quite unpleasantly thick. It started with unusually worn tires on the front axle. On the driver side the tire is almost blank on the inside and on the passenger side there is, also on the same width inside about all 20cm a blankly driven piece of tire profile. But round around. So that the chassis does not feel so alone, have, perhaps out of sympathy, two strange noises from the engine room joined to it. It sounds like such a kind of hollow throttle – or flaps. The second noise comes always when I make the car look good at about 1000 rpm and when driving at higher speeds. I had already seen whether there might be somewhere a disguise or a box open or loose, but could not find a nice rest of it. The second noise is always when I put out the car after a longer ride and place it at higher speeds. It seems to be from the driver’s upper part of the engine room and there is a nice rest of it all.

  • Gas cylinder valves for Volvo V70 III AFV

    Hello to each other, after having been on the road with my Volvo V70 III AFV (Sweden Import), year 2010, model year 2011, 10Tkm without problems (currently 150Tkm) the switching fuel } gas has given up its mind. My workshop found the error. It is the gas cylinder valves that are worn out. Now it is about getting 3 pcs. new valves as possible. Does any of you know a “source” for this, which I should definitely ask for? Fa. Peltner in Vlotho would be my first address. Thank you for braining and always good driving! scout2

  • Upgrade Levelmat to normal V70 3 dampers

    Hello together, unfortunately I found nothing suitable on the Internet: Does anyone know if the level mats can theoretically be replaced with normal dampers in the V70 – 3? In my knowledge, the predecessors did it in conjunction with new springs. But what is this like with phase 3? Thank you and greetings

  • Volvo V60 – mature inside downhill

    Hello together When I switched to the winter tyres, I noticed that the summer tyres at the front went down to the wire. On the right and left the same picture, and only after about 11000 km. See pictures. The rear tyres are as good as new. My Volvo dealer said I was most likely driven over a curb. And the steering geometry was adjusted. Now the steering geometry (Sturz?) was adjusted and I have to buy 2 new summer tyres. What I find funny is that there was the same problem on the left and right. In March I changed from 16 inch winter to 18 inch summer wheels: original Volvo Magni rims with 4 new tires Dunlop Sport Maxx RT2 MFS 235/40 ZR18 95Y. The assembly was carried out at Volvo including the steering impact limiter. Since that is the turning circle as with a truck, but that’s another topic. What do you think about this? Could there be a connection with the assembly of the steering impact limiter? (Volvo D604, 2015, 118000 km)
