  • Questions not resolved after a week

    Good day, after an exciting week V60 I still lack the answers to the following questions: – Is there the possibility to connect an IPhone (using telephone functionality) directly and without using BT with the sensus? – Is the display of the cooling water or oil temperature possible e.g. by coding changes (hidden keys?) – Can the daylight functionality be reset without the friendly? – Is it right that the stand light does not run out after some time when the key is taken off? – Is it right that the reset of the average consumption is not directly bound to the T1 or T2 memory. i.e. Reset deletes everything, T1 and T2 Thanks for answering

  • New moose approaching…

    Hello all, first of all the warm greetings to all Volvorans! I am actually not a new one, but a “returner” so to speak. After long years of Volvo I switched to a Subaru Outback 2.0D in 2010. Without a doubt a good and very reliable car, there is little to complain about but…. it’s just different. (a long topic) The Subaru is rather a car for car pragmatists and I am not one of them. I also have to feel comfortable in the car and not only drive from A to B. However, after a short time it was clear to me that he had to leave. I compared different vehicles, like X3, Q5 or GLK. The test drive then brought the decision. Now, today it is so far. I order a long consideration and comparison today an XC60. Delivery time (allegedly) only 8 weeks, so first KW in May. Best greetings in May.

  • V60 Purchase advice Ocean Race vs. Momentum

    After a long time we decided against the new V40 and for the V60. Here’s my compilation: V60 T3 Momentum/ or Ocean Race Business Pro Pack Security Pack Winter Pro Pack fitting sensor ZF Servo driver seat electric My better half doesn’t find leather so sparkling. They mean they get so warm in the summer and you sweat more than with the T-Tec. The other problem is the color. Electric Silver seems to be a bit tricky to hear. But the washing system will only see the new one every few months. The blue of the Ocean Race is also in the selection. But I have never seen it live. Currently we drive the V70 2.5FT with partial leather outer color Oyster Grey.

  • Luggage compartment lid flaps update

    after the friendly on one day twice docked on the forever crackling and clapping tailgate. (Hello a 50000 EUR car and rattles after 20,000 km like a Trabbi!!) then appeared in the VIDA the message that one should work on the final repair and until then the lubricating oil etc.. Has already jmd. a final solution installed ? (no I mean not welding the flapster box :-)) )

  • Wind/driving noise Volvo V60

    Hi all, Since a good 1500KM we now have our V60. Everything top, except the driving noises caused by the wind. about 40 – 80 kmh – light noise, depending on how strong the wind is out there is about 120 – 180 kmh – there consistently, whereby it becomes slightly quieter from 170. Problematic because it is of course in the areas where you drive most. So in the city and on the train where I actually never drive faster than 170. Do you have maybe something similar to watch? Suggestions what I could do? Is annoying when you spend a lot of money on a new car and the driving fun is clouded by something like that. My old cluttered Alfa 156 had such problems e.g. not. I looked at the car once closely and can not see anything with the mere eye where the noises could come from. Only two edges of the roof railing in aluminum optics have been seen. There the wind could break and cause noise.

  • New XC 60

    Hello people I wanted to let you know as soon as possible that we were able to receive our new XC 60 D5 since January 30. First I have to say that I was impressed with what changed in 21/2 years. With the Senus system we got quite clear.But the absoltute hammer is the new D5 with 215 hp for me, because at first we wanted (OHL) and I had a Polestar tuning played,good that we did not do it,because the part runs toppp and is more subdued and thus quieter in the lower speed range than the predecessor with 205 hp. However, fortunately the engine still has a gnarly sound but much more subtle. I will be in March when the weather has improved still the pictures with the mounted Brock rims and from inside. Otherwise it was first and we are happy to get into the elk every day.

  • Tyre pressure indicator TPMS by radio for retrofitting

    Hello, by a hint in the car picture (where the article from the Volvo XC 60 comparison test was in) I came across TPMS from Atrium, with which you have control over tire pressure and temperature at all times without much effort. Since I am also such a ” tire pressure check muffle ” for me and my wife immediately ordered 2 sets, unpacked and mounted immediately, i.e. batteries in and valve caps down, then sensors on it – and had tire pressure and temperature briefly on it by radio. Link to this:http://www.atrium-enterprises.eu/PIB/auto_TPMS_flyer.pdf Works perfectly and cost me instead of € 139.- only € 88.- (per set), the black caps do not notice with my black/silver rims. And if – my safety would be worth it too. The tire is and remains the only contact to the road! Therefore – I can only recommend it! Greet Stefan

  • V70 Lowering with level ?

    Hello dear elk driver, can I lower my V70 D5 with level control? – Heico can’t do it (swings with level control differently) – My friend can’t – H&R doesn’t say anything binding.. What do you say??? I just want to have it slightly lower and make subtle track spread on it. Ride the Odysseus 18″ wheels with 245 winter tires. They look so small in the nine V70s. With my 245s the 17″ Polaris was gigantic, today 18″ are almost average… Thanks and always good ride!

  • VOLVO V70 D5 AWD Momentum Geartronic – what about it?

    Hello to the Volvo fans I’m new here and from Switzerland and therefore I’m also looking for a car on the CH market. I need a car and love to look for a Volvo – I’ve never had one before. I’m now on this one: http://www.auto-outlet.ch/…/ Reads everything very tempting, I feel the price discount as “giant” and therefore quite tempting. Well, my unneeded question – what do you think about it? Could this just be a great “Christmas gift” or is it to be reckoned with such a copy with one or more horse feet? If it could be a “schnappchen” – please don’t snatch away… Thank you very much for a feedback – am very curious… I wish all Happy Festival Esther – yes a woman) 😉

  • How to lose customers…

    Good morning! After the business assignment of my Berlin VOLVO contract workshop I was recommended by the boss of the VOLVO workshop in Zeesen (Brandenburg). The local customer service manager also proved to be competent and extremely friendly. In the meantime this workshop has now received a new VOLVO customer manager, with which I had to deal for the first time. Order was: to raise winter tyres and install an interior multifilter. At the same time I wanted to have an offer for PIRELLI summer tyres. – When I then got the offer by mail the next day, I almost fell off the chair! – One actually demanded about 400 € more than I should pay at a Berlin VOLVO workshop for the same type of tire !!! I answered the following by e-mail:After which I slowly recovered from the first shock, I am now able to answer you: Up to now I was quite satisfied with the service and the work in the car house ZEESEN. I had the feeling to be treated fairly and to be advised. But after sending this offer I am no longer so sure to lose the impression of being more than to the elderly. I would have been aware of having a good idea of buying it again.
