Hello together, I have a question about the function of the belt alarm on the rear row of seats. I believe that this safety feature does not work properly with me. 1. Situation: Passengers get in the back and do NOT buckle up. I start the engine and start driving. Result: Display in the instrument cluster that no belt is used. However, NO warning tone is issued. 2. Situation Passengers get in the back and fasten themselves. I start the engine and start driving. Passengers buckle down during the ride. Then he descends and I continue driving. Result: Display in the instrument cluster that the belt is used at the rear right. With the warning (warnton) the warning is made that no belt is used. Even after getting out, the warning tone does not go out. I can either close the belt without the driver (which is not particularly wise at all) or make the car short. Question: Is this also so with you? Or do the rear warners react to you just as before? Many greetings Andreas

Hello. Our family is about to buy an XC70 MJ 2016. Now I would be interested in your opinion about the integrated child seats in the fund seats (family package) regarding safety. Are the integrated child seats as safe as a child seat fixed with Isofix? What do your children say about the comfort of the integrated child seats? Our son is 7 years and 125 cm tall. Thank you for hopefully many answers.

I’ve just seen that Heico has finally made the power data available for the D5 MY2012 with the 4h of the engine. Should actually be a reason to be happy – but exactly the opposite is the case! There is not only no improvement on the MY2011 230 hp variant – but on the contrary: all the values have changed, despite 10 hp more (where are they actually?) significantly worse! Let’s go from the hand switch FWD: MY 2011 230 hp 0-100 km/h : 6,8 sec. MY 2012 240 hp: 7,1 sec. MY 2011 230 hp 80-120 km/h: 4,0 sec. MY 2012 240 hp: 4,7 sec. (only for comparison – even the 205 hp series variant gives Heico already with 5.1 sec.! at the 215 hp they do not publish it – probably the values of the series are better than the tuned Heico values!!!) The same game at 80-160 km/h: MY 2011 230 hp: 1,0 sec. MY 2012 240 hp: 13,1 sec. (also here the MY3.4 to the series!

Yes, yes, because the new S80 is in the market hall and has to be out there. Titan grey on 17″ Cassini rims. Double exhaust pipes like a V8 and this with a D 5 engine. The first 2 km to feed to Aral and also the next km are clearly too rough in the engine noise even when the engine is cold. This is hopefully after the ~ 5. refueling. TANKEN First horror after starting. Only 600 km range. My personal minus record. To compare my old V70 D5 1.510 km after refueling. See also my entry in the range thread. Winter tires at Tachostand 36 km. Borbet Alu Felge in dark grey. Looks nice. At photos. Don’t let me ask. Greeting Rainer13

Moin, last Friday my left xenon headlight became dark for the first time. Was really off and only the re still burned. After setting off the engine and starting again was until just calm. Now it is out again. After the light off and turn on it went again. However, the joy did not last long. I can’t quite understand when it falls off. Before I now roll into the workshop and the headlight there does not fail I wanted to ask if someone knows the problem and in the ideal case maybe also has a solution ready. Already annoying if you are constantly dependent on the elk and its cargo space and it is now morning and evening or already dark. By the way, it’s about an XC70 D5 EZ 2009 with now 213,000 km. Greeting Thomas

As achon has announced several times in various contributions, I will now finally order a V60 CC D4 AWD GT. With Kinetic equipment, 17″, business package, light package, AHK and a few small things and definitely without front disc heating. bIs here I have no need for advice, because I also had achon a V60 and various other Volvos. Since I commute 130 km every day, I am considering whether I will take the assistance package this time. Especially in winter this could be relaxing. AHCB, ACC would do well. Apart from the various emergency braking equipment. Also with caravans ACC should be quite nice I try to talk about this, what do you think? AHCB brings something in the city and on the AB?

Hello together, I need your advice … Ride a v70 II 2.4t LPG from 2002, which I would like to “change” into an AWD. Now a representative -V70 III from 2012 as 215PS D5AWD came under my eyes with absolutely full hut, but he has already run 180000 km. Most important feature for me,if I already invest: distance control tempomat and AWD. And n bit of performance The car looks great on the pictures,is stock-heeled and recently got the tooth strap new,which I find good in itself 😛 The fun should cost almost 1800€ ,but without guarantee, because of the “high” KM… Only the two front matures have to be new and a few scratches are probably present, which does not bother me… My question: Is the engine for 60,000km per anno older,if it has been kept up regularly? He will certainly have kicked it,as I know the representatives,if they have it rushed … If the price was less reasonable, but the price was not too high for me.

Ahoi to everyone. In March my leasing runs out. Now the question arises what should come after it. At the moment I drive a V60 summum D4 automatic with almost all the extras very satisfied. The only thing that always bothers me is the small trunk. Then I was wrong about it. So now the big brother is supposed to go into the house. Even though I had already pushed on the successor V90. But that probably still lasts. My dealer also makes fine offers, because the successor is already somehow in the starting holes. But what would you recommend? Will a V70 be enough again with the D4 and automatic or should I reach for an XC 70. What does it bring me? Through the terrain I don’t have to, AWD I don’t need. He doesn’t have more space. Does he drive more comfortable due to the higher wheelbase or should I even think about an XC60 at the end?

Hello all, I am currently before the difficult decision between the VEA Benziner T5 and the VEA Diesel D4. We drive only about 10-12Tkm per year, either extreme short distance (2-3 km to the school of the children and at work) or real long distance (holidays, family visits). We have problems with the current Zafira Diesel (AGR trust), but I can fix it myself. We want to go back to Volvo and have decided on the V70. Rather I have decided. My wife is more for the Superb 😉 The problem is, for the T5 there is almost no used or annual car. The offer for the D4 is quite good. Due to the problems with our driving profile so far I tend to a new EU car with T5 engine, even if the approx. 42TEUR (Summum + a lot of Schnickschnack) costs me instead of approx. 34TEUR for a D4 year car. Has someone experiences with the D4 and a lot of short distance and can help with the decision? Thank you and many gresses, Sachsentolz

I now wanted to mount the original winter wheels and found that there is no jack in the vehicle. I asked the customer service department in Cologne why the new vehicles are generally delivered without jacks and received the following answer: So it is in Germany that we deliver a tire repair kit instead of a full replacement wheel or an emergency bike to the vehicle. To use the tire repair kit no jacks are needed. Against this background it is perhaps understandable that we no longer supply a jack anymore. Basically, the jacks supplied with vehicles are a breakdown tool, which should not be used regularly to change their own wheels. Because of the fact that it is a mechanical jack, it must be taken into account when actually changing the wheels, that neither escape nor slip the ground worry for a one-sided load. The risk that the load is too high when a day is used regularly is due to the fact that it is a mechanical jack to be used for the regular change of the wheels to be a hydraulic jack to be used by the car lifter.
