Hello Volvo Enthusiasten, since in another post I have already referred to the service MyVolvo, here again the link. I find it a great thing, because you have for your own vehicle all necessary data ready, i.e. everything that has been installed and what you need (motor oil quality and all filling quantities, production date, extras etc.) Service appointments can be registered online and many more gimmicks. This service may already clarify some questions. before it is placed, you only have to search through yourself and even the manual is available Should someone have posted something similar before, sorry greetings teonash

Hello, I’m new here in the forum and wanted to introduce myself briefly. I come from Switzerland and last week I received my xc 60 t6 lime green 2008 model. Yes, it’s a different ride like the impreza wrx, which was always a loyal companion. Hope the volvo will also do this:-) the first long-distance test proved to be very comfortable and pleasant. So to the question: does the 2008 with the city safe recognize even pedestrians or is this only the case with the newer models? dler thinks he recognizes these and also told me that the distance controller in connection with the automatic in the stairway slows down to zero.. In the test of this function, the tempomat sounded at about 40 km/h and I had to take over myself. Do I do something wrong or did the dealer just want to specify something? I’m curious to answer your questions. Gruss Smapo

Hello together, I am currently busy with the question “Heico performance increase for the XC60 DRIVe MJ2011 or not?” – We ordered this car, of course, without performance increase. It should be delivered next month. Should I first drive the car like this or have it equipped directly with the performance increase? I just can’t decide, especially since 1800 EUR are not very little money. Of course, nobody can take this decision from me, but m I’d be interested in your pros and contras.

Hello, I am currently planning to buy a new car, and the V60 has the best chances. Since there is a juicy price increase on the one hand at the beginning of November, on the other hand, a facelift is obviously announced for 2013, I am faced with the decision to hit it quickly now, or rather to wait. My Mazda 6 has already nearly 180T km down, but it will last for a while, so that’s not the problem. The Facelift model has a higher residual value in return, and it may be possible to negotiate larger discounts if the FL approaches, but if you choose the “old” model, I would like to mention the topic in another thread, but I would like to have as many opinions as possible, which is why I have a special topic. What do you think about it? I am grateful for opinions … VG Moon

For more information: Quote: Volvo Car Corporation announcements temporary stand-still at the Torslanda plans Volvo Car Corporation has decided to temporarily stop production in the Torslanda plant during week 44, from October 29 to November 2. The measure is taken based on a continuous deadline of the automotive market, primarily in Europe. Therefore a further adjustment to Volvo Car Corporation’s manufacturing operation is necessary. The decision to temporarily stop production means that the Torslanda plant e mployees will be on leave with pay through a combination of utilising time banks and leave of absence. “Europe is the main market for Volvo Car Corporation and the continued recession is naturally affecting the demand for our cars. Against this background, it is essential for us to continue to use the built-in flexibility we have within our manufacturing system,” says Jan Gurander, CFO and acting President & CEO of Volvo Car Corporation. The temporary production stop is in addition to an earl ier decision to reduce the production pace in the Torslanda plant from 57 cars to 50 cars per hour. That change came into effect on October 1. There are no plans for changes to the permanent work force at the Torslanda plant.

Hello As I know, more and more new cars with laminated glass (with V70 and Co. now also in combination with tinted windows) are ordered in the side windows. These have the advantage that they lower the noise level in the vehicle and make it difficult to steal valuables from the car. Great, but… I have been thinking about such a scenario. What if, for example, the doors are clamped by a collision? Often, one can be rescued or recovered through the side window. However, the rescue from the side window can be greatly complicated by a laminated glass (especially when it comes to minutes). Does Volvo develop a mechanism for this case? As in trains, for example, where the rubber joint can be pulled out all around the window. (The front or heel disk) What do you think? What is the relationship between the safety of the valuables and the evacuation of the occupants from the car?

Hello Volvo municipality, would like to separate me from my S80 D5 and will buy me a V70 for it. I’m just not sure if it should be the D5, or alternatively the 2.0D with a hand switch. The 2 ,0 D is actually sufficient and for everyday operation completely i.o. Besides, it is under economic aspects of the secret tip when it comes to driving a V70. Where I’m not sure is at the resale. What do you think, if you want to sell the V70 again after 3 to 4 years, where is the loss of value less, with the small 2.0 d or with the D5?

In the AutoBild Allrad no. 3 is a comparison X1 against GLK against XC60. The BMW (519 points) wins just before the Mercedes (514) and this just before the XC60 (509). Just the conclusion here: BMW + very agile driving impression + best driving performance + cheaper tax/insurance + low diesel consumption – very tight suspension – tight luggage compartment – engine vibrations in idle mode – average warranty performance Mercedes + proper suspension comfort + particularly comfortable entry/exit + high resale value + driving engine with a very powerful effect – high price – expensive comprehensive class – shorter maintenance intervals – expensive extras Volvo + largest luggage and rear compartment + most comfortable vehicle tuning + great ground clearance + maximum load – large turning circle – highest diesel consumption in the test – longer turbo delay – forecast higher value loss Based on this information, one can almost determine which car fits better to one, even if the information content of some statement is only accessible by reading the complete test Greet Martin

Meal Volvo friends, the successor of my V50 has just been ordered – after laaangem back and forth (V60 vs V70 vs XC60, Mondeo, Mégane, …) it has become a V70 after all: V70 D4 Geartronic Edition Silvermetallic (oyster grey has unfortunately flown out of the progamm) T-Tech interior equipment anthracite, sanded silver inlays Driving assistance package Winter package Pro Volvo On Call Composite glass PDC front boot fixing system Eyewear holder Not wheel Defall Engine designation For almost the same money, however, my OHL et moi have decided for various reasons against leather seats and for understatement level regulation I saved myself like at the V50, AHK/ängerbetrieb/Fahrradräger are not relevant. Due to medium-term family planning, I took the V70 wg. space and volume in the trunk, less because of constantly maximum load in the rear compartment.
