  • Vida Installation

    Hello Volvo community, I’m about to lose my faith because I can’t get it partout to run the Vida software. I bought the software (3 DVDs) in Netzt (not in China), could also install it but not open it. I can get up to the view on the picture, but I can only press the IE button EWD and open the schematics. With all the other buttons it opens an Explorer and wants to connect to the Internet, which does not work. I completely adhered to the default installation routine. Can someone tell me here what I might have done wrong. With thanks in advance Vailo

  • V70 III, engine damage, swords and carfax

    Hello and good day, I am completely new here and come on a sad occasion. From the subject it is already clear what it is about. We stayed last week on the A7 with our V70 III Bj 2009: timing belts defective, engine damage is the diagnosis. Here I found then during research on the topic of timing belts, KM stand and above all the seller or mediator, a car house in swords not quite unknown here and a contact EnrcAdlr as well as the two older threads:https:/ /www.motor-talk.de/forum/a1-motorwelt-in-schwerte-t5324445.htmlhttps://www.motor-talk.de/…hende-tachomanupulation-t5117988.html All old fish, why the thread: I want to make the whole incident a little public on the one hand, on the other hand – even if there is probably nothing to do legally – not just drop under the table. Mainly also because I have now evidence that the KM stand was manipulated down by at least 112000 km. Based on d he chassis number I found at carfax.nl, where a visit to the Dutch TÜV (APK) is stored for this number. A KM-stand of 177341 km was documented there in November 2013. On the purchase in May 2014 the GTÜ-report of the sales day was there, there was given to this chassis number the km-stand with 64525, previous owner according to letter a company Admissio GmbH, which is not unknown here in the forum. Quite clearly the A-card was drawn, but if I to anyone dami I’m a little comforted.

  • XC 60 extras incl.

    Have ordered the XC 60 for me on 30.01.2009. is now my 5 ( V 40 / S80 / S 60 / V 70 ) am here in the forum for a few days and notice the Volvo takes the extras (electric tailgate / entry strip / silver roof railing just so out of the program. My dealer has in the exhibition still listed everything as included. Has someone already made contact with Volvo and to get a statement ??? Who once had a Volvo will probably remain true to the brand. New customers for Volvo are very difficult to get at the price.

  • XC 60 and seats

    Dear Elch-Communtiy, since I can order my first elk in the next few weeks and my budget is a bit limited I would have a short question about the installed seats in the XC60: Is the difference between the standard padding installed in the Kinetic package and the Eriksberg padding (momentum) only in the optical area or will there be serious differences in seat quality here? (I believe in the V50/S40 is a similar situation).

  • S80 II – Driving noises

    Hello, I’ve got my S80 a three-quarter year now and I’m not really happy with it. Motorically and in terms of consumption, the car is ok, but the chassis is not worthy of a Volvo. And I have two problem circles. Once when driving over ground unevenness. Somehow it sounds as if the shock absorber would hit. As a damped stop noise I would define it. From where it comes, I can’t make out 100%. Once I think from the right At the front, another time, I think I can perceive it from behind. Some workshop visits have not brought a complete improvement either. My other problem is when driving on not quite flat roads, e.g. short floor waves in the road surface, raised road markings. There one believes to hear noise roaring inside the car. I noticed this, but I did not attach any importance to it at first. When I then drove the same track in the BMW of my colleague I have noticed that his car swallows the sounds much better or can’t be noticed at all. These two things are not world-moving, but with a car that suggests a certain comfort and whose price range is above the average, I did not expect something like that. I don’t mention the cracks often described here in the case of negative degrees from the front panel, because on the one hand it only occurs at low temperatures and after 3-4 crackers, Does anyone know such soundscapes in their S80 II?

  • KUGA vs. XC 60

    Blitz & Donnerschlag… now I have just looked at the new Ford KUGA here (in black with full equipment as top version) and am indeed very impressed (and irritated) by this car.. quite big respect for Ford, there is something moving in terms of interior quadri. and above all exterior design. I am really surprised how good this kuga looks and how the part is processed, that has now nothing more of the well-known “KIK-Discount—-optics” of the previous Cologne Pro respect. The whole thing as 2×4 costs (without Navi and without leather) no 30,000,- and falls against a (admittedly somewhat old-fashioned and old-backed three-looking) XC 90 in terms of design and quality in no place. However, Volvo has to do some additional things to achieve the everywhere proclaimed premium touch including the 10,000,- additional price for the nearly identical XC 60 on the market. I have not seen yet an XC60 in real/serial maturity, but for which the s likes and for which the not professing brand fetishist is … I guess just look at: Ford KUGA (in good equipment). Well done Ford (if not again this unspeakable standard Peugeot diesel would be installed) and with the expected usual Ford discounts certainly a good purchase (especially in comparison to the ugly and completely overrated VW Golf Plus derivative name Tiguan) Gruss, SV

  • Very long delivery time XC60

    Hello, I received today from my VolvoCenter the statement that I should hurry to order the XC60 if I wanted it in March. Because of the high demand !! Now I have a.) the problem to order a car blindly – knows the XC60 only from pictures and was unfortunately not on the AMI in Leipzig. and b.) wanted to wait as an alternative the Q5 of Audi with prices and configurations. 1. Is the statement right with the extremely long delivery time ? 2. Is there your knowledge ens after another exhibition where you can experience the XC60 in real? thank you for your help LG Oliver

  • Outlet in middle arm console?

    Good Tach, wanted to ask if anyone has already made a 12V connection into the middle arm console. I am disturbed by my cell phone with cable on the 12V connection at the beverage holders and would like to banish it into this compartment. Technically, it should not be a problem, right? Does anyone have experience? Thanks and greeting Torsten
