  • Hanging in the luggage compartment net

    Hello municipality, I wanted to hang the luggage compartment net for the first time today and notice that the ends of the mounting rod are not angled. I did not get these in the intended holding eyelets. In my V50 these are handled, that mounting principle (holding eyelets) is very similar to the V60 m.E.. In the picture in the guide it is also noticeable that the holding pole is angled at both ends. Am I too dubious for this, have I overlooked something or is this a construction error? Maybe I am also the first one who wants to drive with mounted luggage compartment net on holiday

  • Register for service in the display after 7000 km or 4 months??

    Hello, I’ve had an XC 60 2.5 R design for 3 months. I’m super satisfied with it. Now I have towed my 1800 kg caravan to France to the Atlantic coast, where I’m still a week. I’ve never driven such a strong team before, a really great towing vehicle. Now to the pumkt: Yesterday my great car surprises me with the message: Register service! At 6000 km? I know, Ww is pulling a vehicle, but after approx. 1000 km of pure towing operation already a service? And which one? Is the car such a sensitive little? Who knows what? Thanks already, greeting Ekkehardt PS hopefully he’s going home 😉

  • Navi – TMC redirection

    if the Navi offers a TMC – alternative route, so I can see the new route on the map – but ONLY the new one! in order to be able to decide whether I like to stay on the old route or prefer the new one, I would like to see the old route parallel to it – with the V50 it went without any problems – this is no longer possible with the V60? – besides, how many km AND minutes the old/new route lasts – with the V60 it is only “new route is 9 minutes longer” – Km information is missing….

  • D3 = tire eater?

    Tach put together, have now my S60 several weeks and 7,000 km, the grin somehow does not want to go away…. I now made the 30 Tkm full and am somewhat irritated while looking at the front tyres. There is no more profile there, at the end of this summer is probably end in the terrain. At the back it looks much better. Up to 23,000 km the car has run by the way as a rental car, but is in a top condition and not ridden down. I am not the rocket starter with regard to an affordable consumption, but always notice when the turbo comes. Can it be that the D3 is a little more gnawing at the front tire because of its luxuriant torque than my blissful S40 2.4?? Greetings from the Bergische, Ralph

  • XC60 T6 AWD Summum Automatic 286PS

    Hello, now it’s time for another car with the following wishes: increased sitting position, automatic, xenon, automatic air conditioning and gasoline. Now, at the weekend at our Volvo dealer the above mentioned car came to my eye and is really busy. Now I have questions about questions as Volvo layer. XC60 is running year 2008, 70,000 km, fully equipped, should cost 29.500,- €. – Consumption in city and highway so at 140 km/h? – Are there known problems on the engine or body? – What is the installed original navigation system and which map status is up to date? – How high are the inspection costs? – Price appropriate? – What do you have to pay attention to when driving a test drive? Thank you for your help! Greetings TiD

  • Consumption S80 – 205 or 215 hp – hand switch

    My current Audi A3 1.6 TDI 105 hp consumes approx. 5.2 l to 100 km. A little more (7.0 – 7.5 l) the successor should consume and be a bit more frugal when overtaking it. According to previous research, XC60, XC70, V70 automatic and S80 automatic consume too much (more than 8.0 l lt. fuel monitor). The 163 hp diesel fall out, as not significantly faster than the A3. The V70 also weighs 100 kg more like the S80. So I tend to the S80 215 hp hand switch. a.) Does anyone from the practice have experience what it consumes? b.) 215 hp and front drive – does the grip? c.) 215 hp and hand-operated switch at all – does this work harmoniously? Alternatively, I think about a VW Passat 2.0 TDI 170 DSG Allrad or an Audi A4 3.0 TDI hand-receiver 204 hp.

  • Vehicle with Premium Sound + SUB searched

    Hello people Is there someone here in the forum who owns a vehicle with the configuration Premium Sound + SUB? The models V70, XC70 and XC60 2012-2017 with Sensus are meant. (with the V60, S60 and S80 this configuration did not exist) I would like to retrofit a Volvo amplifier with SUB (have bought the parts again). My problem is that Volvo cannot play the necessary software on the amplifier because my vehicle is not supported. This is only possible with vehicles that have been delivered ex factory with Premium Sound. There it is easy to start the “AUD reload”. If someone wants to support me in such an action please report me. Of course, there is also a fee compensation. Thanks now!

  • laminated glass V60 and the summer…..

    Hello community! I experience my V60 this summer for the first time with laminated glass…. At outside temperatures of 26 degrees it has almost 40 degrees inside. Sure – the car is standing in the sun and the heat is clearly “stored”, but in my V50 with “normal and not noise-insulated” glass the temperature was by far not as intense as now in the V60! I also noticed that cleaning the windows inside with a glass cleaner does nothing. I cleaned my windows inside with a glass cleaner on the weekend and then noticed on Monday that the windows all have streaks. As a result I took a wet cloth and a clean cloth today and cleaned the windows -> Result: no streaks! This is also a clear difference to the V50 with normal glass (here I could only clean with glass cleaner and not with a wet cloth!). Do the two points have something to do with the laminated glass and the texture?

  • XC60 T6 Sum MY2010

    Since yesterday, I’ve had a good time in the middle of the day, but I’ve had a good time in the middle of the day, I’ve had a good time in the middle of the day, I’ve had a good time in the middle of the day, I’ve had a good time in the middle of the day, I’ve had a good time in the middle of the day, I’ve had a good time in the middle of the day, I’ve had a good time in the middle of the day, I’ve had a good time in the middle of the day, I’ve had a good time in the middle of the day, I’ve had a good time in the middle of the day, I’ve had a good time in the middle of the day, I’ve had a good time in the middle of the day, I’ve had a good time in the middle of the day.

  • Presentation and question: V70 purchase planned

    The second thing I want to say is that I’m in the old Audi store, and I have a `92 Audi 100 2.6 V6 limousine with H-mark as a daily and a `93 Audi Cabrio 2.8 V6. Until last summer there was also a Pontiac Trans Am 3.1 V6 in the car park. Now on my occasion. I’m in search of a large station wagon. As a Swedish fan and holidaymaker it should become a V70 III, because this vehicle is optically in this class most accommodating me. I myself am an automobile salesman, working daily with cars (commercially), I have already partially restored the Audi itself and thus basically know about the matter and can answer to old Audis and also Amis quasi (almost)? Only with Volvo I don’t know and so you come into the game 🙂 I’ve read a lot and know what I want. The basics: 70 2.5T, 231 PS, is more than anything else than automatic.
