  • Purchase advice Volvo V60 AWD D4 Cross Country Momentum from 2017

    Hello, with a Ford dealer around the corner there is a Volvo V60 AWD D4 Cross Country Momentum from 2017. engine capacity 2.400 cm3 kilometers 56,322 km fuel diesel first registration 2017 type combi, 0-door power 140 kW (190 hp) transmission automatic Price: almost 25T€ I don’t know now about the equipment packages of Volvo. In addition, it has heating and AHK. It is almost like new at the dealer. What do you think of the V60? Are there any special flaws or upcoming service obligations with the V60? Does it actually have a steering chain or timing belt? I come from a Honda Accord 2,2Diesel from 2006, which I now have to deliver with more than 370Tkm. I am currently looking for a successor as family coach for around 20T€, which has a potential for at least 8 years or 200-250Tkm. Unfortunately, combos in the segment are really scarce.

  • What coolant?

    Good evening together, possibly an unnecessary thread, but I don’t get smart from the operating instructions. I got a hint today for the first time “Motor coolant low, safe stop”. Always give or brake on gas … I opened the moose at the front and see, actually, the coolant ksite is at the minimum. I was only 4tkm during the inspection, either the dealer or my moose loses the stuff – do the other also? But now to the actual question – what medium do I fill up? In the instructions stand only “One recommended by Volvo … and that to 50/50 with water”. Or just a little bit of water? Questions about questions

  • High oil consumption V 70 D3 2016

    Hello, our Volvo now consumes about 1 liter of oil on 4000km. I have to say that it already has about 270 000 km (2 liters with 150hp). Since we are otherwise very satisfied with the car, we think about having the car repaired. But before I go to a workshop without any information and possibly get some answer, only to fill the register of the workshop (have unfortunately made several bad experiences), I would like to know which causes are mostly behind it and with which costs I would have to reckon with. Thank you for your tips and feedback.

  • Radar disrupts Adaptive cruise control

    Hello I have a problem with my adaptive cruise control, which actually works very well, but as soon as the temperatures rise the system fails with the message Radar disturbed see manual.The housing of the radar in the radiator grille I cleaned there is nothing on it that could disturb.The system then drops out incl. tempomat from temperatures of 23 degrees constantly, which is very annoying.Has anyone ever had such a problem?The friendly could not help me any further until now.

  • Switch to petrol?

    Moin dear Volvo experts, I have been driving a V60 D4 GT with 181 hp since 2016. The diesel engine has not paid off yet, but since I’m retired, I’m driving even less, then it will probably be less than 10000 km per year with a higher short distance share. I’m also afraid that the diesel will eventually be replaced by the AGR/cooler again. However, since I like to drive the V60 and I can’t really make friends with the successor model, I’m thinking about a petrol engine V60 T2/T3/T4 from the years 2015 – 2018 of course also with automatic. Therefore, the question to the drivers of such vehicles, how are you satisfied with it? What should you pay attention to when buying these vehicles? I’m still looking forward to your answers and opinion and thank you!

  • When new base gasoline for the V70 III?

    When are new base gasoline engines for the V70 (III) coming? It’s nice that the V70 can now be ordered, but many people probably do not use the turbos and 6/8 cylinders for this traditional family combination and are still waiting for solid entry-level variants. With the vehicle weight a 170/180 hp variant would probably be due. Is it already known when there will be further variants? Ford is thanks? I like the new Volvos quite well up to now except for the outdated engine technology. the automatic transmission, the fuel consumption … (oh, what am I talking about here, the things are mainly produced for the North American market, or am I crazy?) … lower or start/stop – automatics, brake energy storage, etc. I dream again in my bed, good night for now! Gruss D.F. Too bad, nice car actually …

  • Article on the new V70 in welt.de

    Here eats not much in it, much blabla, in addition the usual “…. he even gives off sporty undertones. Thus ….. even quite fun comes up.” (as if you would need this for driving fun now absolutely) and you celebrate things like electromechanoscvhe parking brake or electric rear flap as an advantage. The ground tenor is positive whereby this was probably more a visit in the stand. More advertising contribution as information Rapace

  • New V70III arrived with me today 🙂

    Hello Moose Driver So, after a long radio silence on my part (Knapp 5 Jahre S60) our new V70 2.5T, black, Kinetic with Bixenon, Four-C and automatic transmission arrived today. As chance I had to do a longer business ride today and I inaugurated the new V70 right away! What a car to say… What a car! I’m totally thrilled, it’s worlds of my previous S60! suspension, steering, acoustics, automatic: everything of the finest! The interior is really very well maintained and well processed, the sound system improves significantly! I am definitely looking forward to being like a small child and can’t wait to get back into the car tomorrow. I am disappointed that I only have to drive 150 km In any case, the first impression is excellent, I have already “in love” with the vehicle What more do you want?! All the love of your greyhound alias Armand

  • New V70 D5 – super car (but high consumption)

    Hello, Last week our new V70 III was delivered. here I am very pleased with the car. EInziger negative point would be the consumption: 9.2 l/100 km with restrained driving mode. With my predecessor car (BMW 320d – 150hp) the consumption with the same track profile and the same driving mode was on average between 6.0 and 6.3 l/100km. Ok, the V70 has 35hp more power and weighs about 300 kg more (i.e. around 20% more than the BMW) and with the same engine efficiency one would then a In this case, the consumption is about 45-50% higher than the consumption usual of the 320d. What is the reason? Greetings, Pascal
