Moin Moin, we still have to buy a new car. The XC 60 is a short choice. It has to be a diesel for various reasons. Driving profile: 2 x daily 18 km at the piece of highway 2 x weekly 50 km at the piece of daily rides in a small town up to 3 km occasionally motorway rides > 50 km annual runtime approx.18000 km With the previous vehicle there have been problems with the diesel particle filter, since this does not completely pass through the cleaning processes The filter had to be burned within 130000 km 2 x manually. But this can also have had to do with the vehicle itself, because various sensors were already defective. Is the XC60 with the VEA engine basically what the particle filter is about, without problems or has to be paid attention to the driving profile? Would be nice if positive, as well as negative experiences with details were reported here. The manufacturers / sellers always say: No problem… …..

Hi, do you have opinions about whether you can undercharge an engine, in which you can e.g. the 215hp D5 max 130kmh ride and also otherwise only for commuting trips up to 20km oneway? Abdominal feeling would be with: no, is it good to have reserve?! Weird question I know, but found nothing about it. Best regards

Hello, please, I need your help… Since mid-April, my Volvo V60 D3 2014 Volvo on Call has been running without function, as well as start/stop no longer works. In the VoC app it says that the vehicle is in rest mode. The suggested manual start does not bring any improvement. Last entry in the travel book is from Easter Sunday. After that the car was not moved for about 8 days. Since the problems… :-/ I was last week at the dealer, there were all the current Upd but it didn’t work for the VoC control unit – it stopped 3 times, also a disconnection of the battery and subsequent replay attempt failed. Start/stop worked again shortly afterwards, but now also no longer. I have now arranged a new date next week, where they try again. However, there was already an invoice for the last date… I should pay the three wrong attempts all, altogether 182 Euro only for this S oftenware crap! I have to say that the software of my Sensus Connect Navi seems to be out of date… I don’t have the point with the Internet connection via WiFi hotspot over the iPhone described at Volvo for Update 2015. How are your experiences with the software updates at Volvo? What can this be about with the VoC and the Start/Stop? Greetings!

Hi, in great disappointment about Volvo I had to get back to this topic. The reason for my disappointment is an unacceptable long waiting time for a workshop meeting despite a total failure due to an electronics problem. I am also interested in whether it was similar to other Volvo drivers. In the radius of about 50 km from Stade, between Cuxhaven and Hamburg, when selecting 5 Volvo workshops a waiting time of 1 1⁄2 weeks is the best possible result, what could be achieved by switching on the central Volvo customer service. Before it went direction 2 1⁄2 weeks. Because of the previous failure of a Xenon-scattered workshop, which could not be solved by exchanging the Xenon-burner and Xenon-control unit, it should even be a date in 4 weeks. Since it was then considerably time consuming to find a free workshop at all (>10 asked for help), however, the advice given to a Volvo with an electronic problem already gives me as a layman to understand that the diagnosis of Volvos probably represents a special challenge. In view of this workshop there was no need for help.

Have now made the update (as of April 2018) from Navi via Stick. So far so good, but I can’t notice any innovations. In my surroundings, innovations have been made in the road guidance for the last 1 1/2 – years, such as gyro. But these things are not taken into account in the update. Does someone know how busy Volvo renews his cards? Am there a bit disappointed, can’t be. that you have such a long delay in updating the cards.

I’m looking for a V70 or XC 70, preferably with a high-light assistant. However, only a few of them have on the market, so that the selection is enormously limited. Now I ask myself, is it worth it? What I read here in the forum at the V40 is not encouraging. https://www.motor-talk.de/forum/fernlichtassist-t6759944.html I prefer to refrain from using an assistant who makes more stress than relieves stress. Therefore, my question: How reliable and comfortable does the high-light assistant work for those who have one in their V70 or XC70, economically (motorways, roads, inner-city)? Gladly with the indication of the year of construction.

I’ve had a good time to get back to the bike, I’ve had a good time to get back to the bike, I’ve had a good time to get back to the bike. I’ve been driving a Volvo V70 III D5 AWD 215PS and I’ve got the problem that the car always starts to vibrate again in the bike. In that year I’ve been driving about 50,000 km and now he has 330.000 km on the clock. Bremdisks and pads I’ve already made 5x new. (Brembo, Volvo Original, ATE) After the change I mostly have 2-4tkm quiet and then it comes back again. (Slimming process, speed independent, at some point so bad that I can hardly drive anymore, because the steering wheel almost flutters me at the brake. Tires have also come back 4 months ago and been re-wokeed. As I was in doubt and no longer knew, I gave the Volvo to the brake at the front, the bike change again and again.

Hello, my elk (01-2013, D4 Geartronic, Ocean Race, 83tkm) ruptures more and more often and more violently when I switch from P to D or from P to R or from D to R and vice versa. Regardless of whether the handbrake(parkbrake) is one or not. But it may also be that tomorrow again for a few days or weeks calms down, which makes the thing more exciting, because the daily routine is always the same. The car stands in the garage in P although it was parked in the evening there the oil is well hot after 45 km, it jerks in the morning while switching to D to leave the garage. During the last inspection 01-2018 I had the friendly on it (then the car made it less often and not so violently) asked me whether the car in cold condition a mountain or rhinestone has to drive up — NO then he recommended me to change the gear oil which is relatively expensive and have no guarantee whether the jerking away after it is. Since the next inspection is necessary to ask for your greetings in this case.

Hello guys, after I bought my second V70 yesterday, I would also like the rear spoiler again. Although no friend of Spoilerwerk – had a S60 sport for me from factory, was not so nice – the rear wing fits very well to the V70. Without this I find the rear somehow “naked”. Well, the want unfriendly Eur 760 for rear spoiler with mounting. My love for the Bürzel then does not go that far. Skandix offers the wing primed from Eur 170. Now the quite simple question: How do I get to the Volvo original varnish? Just go to the paintr and say the Volvo code? Thanks for information.
