Hello, my V70 was hit in the underground garage a few days ago and the driver’s airbag was stolen. Although the deadlock function of the doors prevented the door from opening, the thief climbed through the window and left a hole in the steering wheel (see system) and a lot of pieces in the car. Short and crisp: I will equip my elk with an alarm system, so I need tips from you on what can be installed there. Actually, I thought: I will equip my elk with an alarm system. yes, no one steals a Volvo anyway, but has now been taught a better one. Since I am technically an absolute nerd, a self-installation is so not in question. Can someone advise me about a product or better still, can possibly the original Volvo alarm system be retrofitted? Thank you in advance for your (hopefully) numerous answers!

Dear elk friends and those who want to become it, yes I did it and ordered one of the last of its kind. In great anticipation of the delivery and delivery that is coming soon I would like to let you share. Configuration: Volvo V70 III 2.0D Black Softbeige / Sandstone Beige Momentum Select and Select Plus package Leather seats with reinforced side support Dachreling LM – Felge NAOS As already read, this engine is already out of the list in Belgium. All other countries will l And then there is the D3 with 5 pots. I always see it with a laughing eye and a crying eye. I’m curious how the new equipment packages will be and especially how the total / final prices will develop? So, you stay up to date and there are pictures —then— of course. Your Thomas

Hello together, Here’s something about consumption (and two other things) of my new V70 D5, 205 hp, AWD. After about 5,000 km I can’t reach it under 9.5 l/100 km even with the most economical driving method. I drive about 40 to work every day, of which about 25 km are motorways. I have little hope that this is because the car has not yet entered properly. Can’t imagine that the consumption is still significantly down. I notice, however, that the engine is so low from about 30/35 km I have the feeling that it takes quite a long time to get really warm… In addition, the vehicle has a terrible smell every 1-2 weeks, like burnt oil/diesel. (definitely not coming from the heater). I was lucky and could show this to the dealer last Saturday, along with light smoke from the engine room. After a few minutes i The heater is still extremely loud when it closes, or I start the heater manually. My dealer will check the vehicle from tomorrow, then we’ll see what happens. Maybe it all hangs together somehow, but maybe they don’t even find anything. I’ll keep you up to date. Greeting Georg

Hello, as is well known, there is a lot of negative reports in forums – who is satisfied, is happy and silent. Therefore, I would like to collect exclusively positive information about the V70 (also, to finally decide for the V70). I start: + no prestige stress, but nevertheless good image + everywhere presentable + sporty, but not prolific + well usable trunk + relaxed offer inside + comfortably designed suspension + does not stand at every corner + glazed I look forward to your additions.

Cool: according to the Swedish car magazine “Teknikens Värld” the new model year 2010 finally comes a R-version of the popular XC60. The design uses the well-known accessories such as bodykit in aluminium look, Achilles 19″ wheels and R-design sports steering wheel. New are the sports seats, which are similar to the XC90 R-design with white seams as well as the two-flood sports exhaust system. The XC60 R-design becomes white, electric silver, black, lemon green and signal be available in red and to be ordered at the start of the new model year 2010. (Juhuu!)Ach so: hier noch der Link!

Dear Volvo-Fangemeinde, on 9 June 2010 I wrote a qualified request to VOLVO Bank. The topic was to change the offer of VOLVO early on to a new vehicle. So to get to and offer – after 2 weeks then the information – is still too expensive! Responds to 100% of the statement of the VOLVO Bank, which gives me as a loyal customer a financial advantage. So a nice letter to the bank with the note the man a). The premium claim is not in line with the external appearance. I haven’t received an answer yet! I’m very disappointed that VOLVO wants to have one as a customer.

Hello friends, by chance I passed NM today with my friend when I saw a new gold colored V70, which was just delivered. I rushed in to ask the question “Is this mine?” Yes, yes that’s theirs, but “unfortunately” the car was delivered earlier than planned (10.6.), with the result that the accessories (AHK, rear camera etc.) are not there yet So, now I have to wait until Friday or until Tuesday (Friendly will let you know tomorrow) until ic h my first Volvo in reception. At least I could take a photo with my mobile phone. So I am curious then how the D3 goes and which Premium Sound System is installed. I am also surprised by the color Seashell. In the outdoor area I had seen a dark golden moose and in the workshop a rather silver moose lg midibase

Hello people On Thursday I left my Volvo S 80 D5 bj. 2007 with 185 Ps and 400 Nm from BSR “chips”. Directly it is not a chip but a control unit that is connected somewhere under the engine cover, takes over the original data of the ECU and then optimizes the engine by a learning phase. According to BSR I should then have between 225 Ps and 230 Ps and come from 400 Nm to 450 Nm The product:www.bsr-tuning.de/produkte/t953/ The product will only be active after connection. If you accelerate 3 times from 0 km/h to 50 km/h and after that you accelerate 3 times from 0 km/h to 100 km/h. From then on you do not feel an extra power immediately the full power. The system learns constantly and you feel the extra power more and more. That means, a little patience needs recommend I can speed you, more times from 1 – 3 gear, up to the limiter.To limiter: The limiter is now on 5000 tours and not as before at 45000. I was then h The result is VERY positive! I now have 235 Ps and exactly 500 Nm. I paid 1200 Fr. incl. installation. And 235 Km/h were in it! I can recommend this product to you! Here is the controller from BSR “hidden” Gruss Jimmy

Hello guys, I get in the next days a 4 year old V70-III D5 which unfortunately has no USB training and also no seat heating. Now I let myself be told by the friendly what the retrofitting would cost. For the USB I would have to pay 525 € complete. According to friendly a retrofit of the original seat heating is not possible. “Can this be?” Up to now you could always retrofit original parts. Or is from the V70-III disgruntled end with afterglow The Commission’s proposal for a Directive on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the permissible sound power level of motor vehicles and their trailers.

Dear Forists, after having brought my moose (S80 D5, MJ 08, 120tkm) to a free Volvo workshop before my vacation to have the handbrake and a cable break in the electric window lifter fixed, the master called me today, that during the last test drive the message that the Russian particulate filter is full has been lit up. They had then seen in the VIDA that the DPF is 90% full (which really amazes me with the km performance and only long distance). After a further 2 hours, the master called again and reported that the car had burned (sic!). About 15 minutes after the last drive (to burn the DPF) when the ignition was switched off inside the car from the ventilation nozzles and the CD compartment in the middle console there was a strong smoke development. When the ventilation was switched on, all nozzles and the entire centre console were swa The workshop has emptied two 10 kg CO2 extinguishers and two 10 kg powder extinguishers in the car and the engine compartment until the fire has been suffocated. Accordingly, the car now looks and will probably be difficult to fix. On the lifting platform, the area around the DPF and the cat looks inconspicuous, and also the rubber parts in the vicinity have not melted or similar. So it seems to come rather from the climate compressor area. 009 from Volvo a call back because of the misplacement of a condensation hose. If this hose is joined, water is stuck in the heating box, where the electric warning of the air is installed. My car was affected, and a new drain valve was installed at that time, according to Volvo. Apart from the fact that I am of course not very pleased that the repair of a defective hand brake ultimately led to the burning of the vehicle (there is of course only a temporal, However, I would like to read your opinion on the following points: – Is a connection between the DPF cleaning and the fire possible or likely? – Has jmd had similar experiences with short circuit, Schwelbrand or other problems in the area of the climate compressor at the S80, V70, XC 70? The master said that during the last drive before the fire the climate automatic shut off et was. After 3 Volvos my trust is now a bit shaken and I hope that this is an individual case. However, it seems to make sense to pay special attention to this model. Thank you for the answers and I report on the progress of the review. Greetings from Mannheim, Holger
