Hello everyone, today I had my XC70 lift the winter bikes and the toolmaster handed me the vehicle with the comment “velvet key shows strong wear, so we have to buy a new one next time” and in fact the key looks a bit loaded. Well, after the tires were tightened 5 times with this key (change S->W + check after 100km, change W->S + check + the current change S->W), I naturally ask myself the question, What is the quality standard at Volvo when a key is so quickly worn out. Do you have similar experiences with it? [Oh, so: all changes and “checks” were made in the same Volvo workshop] Greetings tomsam

There are still two years before the change of my leasing vehicle. But even today I am thinking about the “Day X”… In 2014 the V70 III would have been almost unchanged for seven years. I can’t imagine choosing the third V70 in a row in almost identical form. Does anyone know about plans of a new variant in the next two years? 2014 is also called “magical date” for the XC90 again and again. This would then be a real alternative for me. So who is speculating with or knows a little more about the “flagship-future” of Volvo?! Or are these the 60s-Ranges now????

Hello, first of all good day, I am new here. I am about to order a new V60, as successor of a (very good, but actually too big and too expensive BMW X5). Now my question: The stated consumptions are always more theoretical, because according to EU standard determined on the test bench. I have driven for years now large, strong diesel 6-cylinders and do not know if I should take the 215 hp diesel or the strong petroler ? I drive about 35 TKM a year (according to country road/short I drive foresight and with a rather light gas foot, with the X5 I use on average 10,2 l/100km. Who knows both and can tell me what they consume in comparison in everyday life. Thank you for the answers, Greeting Gerhard from the Oberallgäu

Since this cold weather, have the phenomenon that I get the message, stop immediately, cooling water level too low. Also true, but when I do the pressure compensation, i.e. open the lid of the balance tank, the stand rises again to maximum. My dealer told me to fill in a little bit about maximum, because the system is very receptive. Maybe someone has experienced the same thing? Is actually fine, but it is not really satisfying. In such a situation I really want a cooling water temperature indicator, if I imagine that someone has no idea and therefore calls the ADAC, no, there is an advertisement already helpful.

Have you ever read anything about an optional tire pressure control system? Is there any such thing at all with Volvo? If yes how does it work? Greetings A waiting XC60 buyer

Evening together Well, what can I say. Unfortunately, our XC went on a strike… The days I read through the thread of manatee full of horrors and prayed to heaven that our XC is spared… Now he doesn’t want any more. Ok, he’s still running! But how…! I say this: My Smart is now a Formula 1 racer compared to the XC… Yesterday morning on the way to work he drove quite normally. At noon on the way home he didn’t want to be so right. I turned on the car, got out of the parking garage (where you drive normally slowly) and wanted to give gas on the road. Nix was… The car had no more power! “0 on 100” unlodly loosely 1 min. Mountain high was at 40 end. I think that he drives in a kind of emergency running program…!?!? After a few minutes it was gone again and he drove again quite normal. At a traffic light I turned off the car. Again started and again no power. The BC was watching! When I was “accelerated” with gas I had passed through a current consumption of 7,8l. So it just accelerates. But then it was gone for a short time! What I find strange is that there is no control light or any other message coming… Then I tried again in the evening! Again the same! At first no performance and then he drove again quite normal! In the morning I had only fuelled! At first moment I thought that I idiots might be petrol instead of Diesel fuelled… But the receipt has taken stock! It was diesel! Unless the gas station got the tank wrong or something… Now I have a date friendly on Monday. Let’s see what comes around. Has any of you ever experienced something more similar with its D5 or can I give me a tip? Thank you very much and have a nice evening still…

Hello Leuts, yesterday my V70 3.2 registered with me, he would like to see the workshop of the. Since I was angry, I first obtained a cost estimate. Order should consist of 60,000 inspection + brake lining changes in front and back. Here you find the offer as pdf (all prices net) Of course also the buyer (my profession ) comes through with me and asks: “is it cheaper”? That’s why I thought and came to the following result (positions en 1. O.K. 2. Kleinkram, O.K. 3. Comparison price Brand product with activated carbon ca. 27.50 euro net (18 euros saved) 4. O.K. 5. Kleinkram, O.K. 6. completely identical oil at the oil dealer ( www.kasotec.de ) for 7.52 euro net per litre ( 52 euros saved) 7. O.K. 8. Volvo calls 70.37 EUR net. Know what the identical coverings cost at Ford (are installed at the S-Max 2.5T: 90 EUR. comparable from Lukas/TRW costs 47 Euro (24 euros saved) 9. Kleinkram, O.K. 10. O.K. K. 11. Volvo calls 97.71 EUR net. You know what the identical coverings at Ford cost (are installed at the S-Max 2.5T: 123 EUR . comparable from Lukas/TRW costs 63 Euro (35 Euro saved) means: for a bit unpopular with the Volvo dealer you save over 150 Euro. For that I can go to dinner with my friend, the son man buy a bicycle, me a pair of shoes or a cord-sakko ( ) what do you mean? Greetings, Eric

hello..@all….I have to get something + going..me killed a rider today my mature at the front right of the curb….worse in the flank…what kind of mature stuff doesn’t help anymore…ups…so the assistance called me and let me go to the workshop..so now the +: I waited for only about 45 minutes for tows..in the time when I was waiting in my vicinity. he thought he needed 2 days for then mature because he didn’t have it in stock..ups.. I mean called and asked how spontaneously he is in things of my winter tires that are stored with him…he meant that it’s already clear..well I then redirected to tugs and said I want to go to another than the one that is closest.. he meant him no matter..then on the way a nice lady from the ASSISTANCE called and asked if the tug is already there..I meant yes and told her that we have taken away a longer time now because the next could not help me so quickly nne like my pers. .. you said driving school car and so on and the lady said then that’s all in the green area.

Hello dear moose drivers, in line with the beginning of the winter tire period I have a completely inappropriate question 😉 I will now have new winter tires (225/55 R16) mounted on the original 16 inch Volvo rim, on which they should stay. For optical reasons I would like to mount new rims in 17 or 18 inch for the summer tires in spring. My tyre dealer advised me against the 18 inch tires, because they wear off probably faster and I or the moose very many kilometers fr How are your experiences with 17 or 18 inch tyres than 225/50 R 17 or 225/45 R 18 ? Is a higher wear noticeable ? How much harder will the V70 be due to the low cross-sections ? Of course this is very subjective, but a feedback would still not be uninteresting.

Hello community, my brother-in-law recently bought himself a fancy V60 as an annual car. He has all the buckles in it. Of automatic, rear-view camera etc… BUT with his leather seats there is no seat heating!? I actually didn’t want to believe it at all and I looked for the button for it. Unfortunately in vain… After a question to the seller this was confirmed again. I really didn’t expect that there would still be such a thing in this price segment in 2011. Well, anyway. My question now would be whether the seat heating is already integrated in the leather seats and “only” the cables to the control unit are missing, or if you have no chance to retrofit there afterwards. Maybe this is also easily activated by OBD2 or similar? So that you only have to buy the button? Does anyone know that? Thanks for your answers. Ciao pyro
