  • New purchase/annual car

    Hello to all V60 drivers, I would like to buy a V60 D5 and would like to ask you in advance if anyone has any everyday experiences and comparisons between VAG and V60 Geartronic? Are there any other peculiarities that a V60 brings with it? How does it look with the soot particle filter for example? Power of trouble? With VW/Audi you can hear and read about it everywhere… Is there something else that you absolutely have to keep in mind with the annual car?

  • Volvo leasing rates extremely attracted or fat discounts?

    Just scared me when I configured an XC 60 as a company car on the Volvo side for an acquaintance. The basic price of the car was absolutely ok, but then the leasing rates – omg! Do they turn on the bike? So immediately my 1.5 year old XC 60 is identically configured and compared – total price slightly lower, but the leasing rate almost 30% higher! What’s going on? Or do you have to deduct 25-30% discounts by now?

  • Bronze chips in engine oil at Volvo XC60 ???

    Hello today I picked up my XC60 from the 1st inspection and there I was told by an action page Volvo. In this story the oil filters are kept and left standing for about 48 hours. After this time the filter is opened and looked if there are bronze chips in it. I get a call on Friday. If I have bad luck then my engine will be disassembled to replace something. Now I find this of course quite weak on the part of Volvo. The engine just one year old and already let it disassemble? What would you do?

  • New purchase XC60- Help rims, color, accessories

    Hello to all Volvo drivers, after a very good comparison with other brands, have decided to buy an XC60 in version D5 Summum. However, I have a few questions: 1.When choosing color we are still a bit uncertain. However, something bright (due to easier maintenance). I have now discovered in the net the following picture: a. color1 b. color2 Which colors are these? As an alternative we picked up the Cosmic white. I come from the vicinity of Gera- white possibly someone where you can watch these colors live in the area? 2. Can someone say what the retrofitting (including installation) of the remote control, the installed stand heater, costs? Since I wanted to check if the subsequent installation is possibly cheaper. Since then you could also order the T100HTM Ferservice which is considerably more comfortable than the one offered by Volvo. 3.What do you think of the following wheels for the XC60?

  • Questions about the distance radar

    Hello, I’m a little irritated about the distance radar. In the new Saab 9-5, there is a FullSpeedRange distance radar. It works from 0 KM/h and therefore also in the city, traffic-settled area etc. pp. And also slows down accordingly to 0. (Similar to BMW, which have a stop&go function). What can the Volvo distance radar do? Does it also slow down to 0 or can I use it in the city, according to the motto: 55 km/h desired speed and go?

  • XC70 experts

    Hello everyone and a good new year! I’m now driving my third V70 (from 2007 2.4D Edition Sport) and have been considering for a few weeks whether I could be happy with an XC70. My approximate driving profile is 30 Tkm/year 50% AB dien other half city and country mixed. In my eye I have a young demonstration car D5 model year 2011 Summum/Xenium etc. in saphirblack with 18 inch Merac. The following is especially interesting to me before I try to get a test ride. 1) On what differences in driving behaviour/driving comfort do I have to agree? 2) Is the Four C especially for the XC70 absolute duty to get the higher center of gravity under control? 3) Which driving differences do the “SUV” tyres in particular cause compared to the V70 ? 4) Does someone with the 18/19 inch wheels (Merac, Erakir) drive possibly quite normal summer tyres, so k e i n e special SUV tyres ??? In the Sufu I’m not quite fündig mich sehr fünd mehr möfrei sehr sehr Vorsuch sehr Besuch ich seine ich seine ersteilen, wieder.

  • Installation with OK

  • XC 60 BJ 09/2011 – Connection to iPhone simply can’t!!!!

    Hi guys, we’ve been one of the proud owners of an XC60 since today. But the joy has already gotten a little crack. We just don’t get our iPhones (3G) connected to the hands-free system. Does anyone know how to bring them together?

Apparently, Volvo dealers even have a certain shot premium if you were to make a leasing or similar, i.e. it felt quite unpleasant to ask if you would get a discount on cash payment. But compared to the list price (96870 CHF), I found the discount acceptable.

  • which rims for the V70?

    Hello Now that my V 70 is a bit deeper with H&R springs, I would like to order the summer rims in a short time. Now I have some favorites, and I can’t decide which one to order. Because of the vehicle size, I would like to order 19″ rims. Which alternatively would be 18″, the Cratus would be of the new R design, where I could then also put on the winter tires. I added some pictures, which rims I like, but I can’t decide yet.
