After a long, patient search from Flensburg to the south of Germany, I found myself in 2018: A top-kept Volvo S80 V8 AWD, Summum, Geartronic, Bj.: 2006 with a real 103,000 km I was able to take over from a Volvo dealer in Crailsheim. Truly no saving box – but for that much joy on the cultivated wolf in sheep’s fur. All spare parts can be obtained if necessary still at moderate prices from my Volvo dealer. Only with the navigation system RTI it becomes increasingly tight: the ultimate last software update was given according to Volvo 2016 as DVD. This is currently installed – but of course now already outdated. My question to the community: Who has already dealt with this problem and can possibly help further? Thank you in advance for feedback and my best wishes for the upcoming change of the year from the Sweden-Express from Bremen

Hello I’m looking for a roof box and I chose the Thule Dynamic because of the quality, appearance and aerodynamics. The L should hold 430 L and be 235 cm long and the M 320 Litre with 205 cm. I would be interested if the L is not too large based on pictures and experiences. On the picture here it should be an L. I personally find it is already very far above. What do you think? How are your experiences?http://www2.pic-upload.de/thumb/31621147_1.jpg

Hej, since I still have to wait until spring until I can see the summer tyres on my new car: Do you have any photos of the late V70III with 235/40 R18 without the sports suspension? In the optimal case Savile grey and Skadi 8×18 the rims. Thank you and God Jul!

Hello With my wife’s car, the yellow engine light went on with her XC60 D3. Because the way to the next workshop is not so easy, I connected a tester, got the message “P04D9 Drivetrain”. This leads to problems with the AGR. Whether the new cooler was installed here already, and whether the software at the last stand is devoid of my knowledge. The car is 03/2016 and had 35tkm after a year on it. At present it is 52tkm. So he is almost 3 years old. I deleted the error and drove a lap. At the same time the error did not occur any more. Is this normal? Blöd now, of course, if I will present it now without obvious problems at the workshop …. Another idea: Just before the error occurred my wife had taken a few meters with her when reversing a tilted mist bucket (mulley for all not Austrians). Maybe something was damaged there? Can’t imagine it, but who knows? Am grateful for tips!

Moin Leutz, Since January it is also mandatory for the years of construction 2006 and younger again to have the AU carried out by tailpipe measurement. IMHO with diesel always a psychological burden for the moose shepherd :-/ Has anyone already had experience with the old measuring method at the younger moose? VG Malte

Hello, how do dirt catchers look on the V70 III, does it look like an “Opa car”? These things are shown in ACCESSORIES with a small picture, but not the whole vehicle. Color of my V70 is black metallic, the rags are also black. With the current salinity of the roads, my elk looks like a salt spreader even after a short drive. Are there possibly pictures of the whole car? Friendlyst Günter

Hello, next week I’m allowed with my XC60 D5 to 210′ customer service. I only got 120′, but it would be due now. I was told that this would be a big inspection with fuel filter etc…. Can someone tell me what to get? Unfortunately I found nothing in the search…. Thank you, greetings

In our V40 we have “A flashing diode on the windshield confirms that the vehicle is locked. – > Locking indicator according to the manual. And somehow I don’t get rid of the feeling that my XC 70 MY11 did it once. But as I said, it’s a subjective impression. And in none of the operating instructions does anything appear… What does this look like for you? Thanks for the feedback.

Hello all, the current model V60 has horny light rings in the cup holders in the center console. Does anyone have any idea if this can be retrofitted with the previous model?? If so, what does it cost??? Thank you for all the hints!

I have bought the Volvo V70 MJ 2009 only half a year ago and so far very satisfied with the Ocean Race. This one has the 2.4D with 2400cc and 120kw in it. Only 2 things are not quite satisfactory: The ZV closes the rear left or does not open, probably the magnetic coil is too weak, the pin twitches always something, however, does not jump over. The second is the heavy steering in the stand, whereby only from approx. 1500 rpm-1 uses the steering power support. But that’s not my topic. Now in the information display the message “Sign up for service!” appears. The last oil change was made on 28.08.2015 at 248.400km. Now there are 261,200km on it. That’s a difference of 12.800km. That’s clearly too early! Also in the majority of city traffic. In the engine room is attached a sticker, which the oil quality ACEA A5/B5 with the viscosity SAE 0W-30 is always possible. Now my question is: I can’t a Audi A6 TDI 120kw took the interval to the oil fill up again. But I didn’t the oil fill up too cheaply the oil.
