  • Large Volvo dealer has filed for insolvency “Auto Haas”

    Auto-Haas GmbH in Bingen with branches in Bad-Kreuznach, Diezenbach and other locations. It’s just a pity, some companies manage themselves down and then push everything to the financial crisis. I just hope that no further Volvo dealers have to close down. Clave

  • GT Sound

    Hello, since the temperatures have fallen below 0°C, my GT is complaining (probably). Hang on 2 sound files, on which you experience my current soundscape: Both have been recorded this morning after about 10 min drive in Berlin city traffic, the accelerator pedal is not moved in centimeters, the car accelerates moderately from 0 to about 55km/h. In GT1.mp3 you hear at 0:15 (speed is kept) the howling, then I walk completely off the gas. In GT2.mp3 similar. The sounds are a bit subdued, the iPhone was in the “navibox”, to hear it well, you have to make it louder if necessary, sorry. Does anyone know that or does anyone know how to remedy it? merci & greeting, the manatee PS @erzbmw: at the occasion: by the way, does this correspond to the engine sound, which kept you in your D5 leader from ordering such an order?

  • Where’s the XC60 border area?

    In order to explore it, I use every bad weather to drive on our mountain (700m) and today were ideal conditions – snow rain and previously for days 4 degrees minus, road muddy and the spread split at the very bottom, icy in places! But what should I say, it was again absolutely nothing! No spinning tires – not even in the beginning, also no DSTC – light up and no breaking of the rear or pushing over the front axle and that with relatively brisk ride uphill on the curvy track. To all over courage still up and down the mountain meadow – where the children were previously on the road with the toboggan. Probably I am too scared, or too much road cowboy to try more extremes! Has anyone tried this already? Where are the limits? Are there any reports?

  • in comparison: Volvo XC70 and Audi A6 Allroad

    He gets away well – if one refrains from the fact that the “testers” waste valuable broadcasting time introducing things that I think are completely gaga … much pleasure lechrainer

  • V60, connect multiple phones via Bluetooth

    Hello Together Can I connect two mobile phones simultaneously in the V60 via Bluetooth and close the incoming calls or can only one phone be connected at a time?

  • Purchase offer realistic: EU vehicle XC 70 awd Kinetic 6-speed

    Hello, I don’t know if I’m right here, but I need your advice. A Volvo dealer in Bavaria offers me an EU import XC 70 D3 Kinetic awd, 6-speed circuit. Model 2012. Basic price just under 34,900 The vehicle is ordered for me, then gets a daily registration and comes originally from Italy. The Volvo dealer wants to guarantee me in writing that the vehicle has exactly the same technical equipment as the German version. In Germany the car would cost according to the list EUR 43,000. The vehicle has the usual warranty. The dealer thinks that I would have no problems with warranty cases with my local Volvo dealer. He also recommended me a 3-year connection guarantee for EUR 999. I drive my cars basically 10-15 years, because I drive relatively little. What do you think of this offer?

  • V-Max XC60 T6 Gear Tronic

    Dear Jürgen, discrimination is something else. In a forum thread to the Volvo XC60 T6 you should only discuss people who drive exactly this vehicle type. You have not captured the irony of my amount. Of course, the D3 and the D5 is also a nice car, but that’s not about it. Rather, it’s about some people giving assessments of technology, driving behaviour and driver skills – in a thread to the T6 – and driving a completely different vehicle type. That’s about as if I write in the gourmet forum about star restaurants and then one comes with a post around the corner that he doesn’t like all this and prefers to eat at Mc. Donalds. As a facilitator you should recognize the irony. Closing a thread is ridiculous and kindergarten live. We’re not here in socialism and my free opinion I now express now in a free country. An XC60 T6 with Geartronic, lowering and Four-C driving station you can now understand the irony. To close a thread is ridiculous and kindergarten live. We’re not here in socialism and my free opinion is now in a free country. If you want to talk about driving about driving, then you want to delete the same thing.

  • Now he’s finally here, my S60 T6

    Hello people 🙂 Yesterday it was finally time, I was allowed to take my first Volvo in possession! After a small test drive (approx. 150km) it went to Munich and back again today (total approx. 500km) I now have just 700km on the Tacho and am just thrilled. The engine is really sensational. Even at high speed it always has enough reserves. At speed 170 km/h it is just at cozy 3000rpm. Also the cruise control knows to inspire… altitude Munich there was a traffic jam (ca. 6km stop and go) – so simply cruise pure, and easy through the traffic jam – the Volvo makes the rest 😉 Really very comfortable. Since I am actually no friend of automatic drives I already made my thoughts about whether the automatic makes me happy – but I have to say that the T6 coupled with the GT is simply a dream. (before all the S-Mode *gg*) My average consumption by the way is now at 10.9l/100km. Find this in view of speed 200 in D and the small stop-and-go Einlage really good.

  • High performance multimedia instead of premium sound delivered

    Hello The anticipation was subdued on the weekend. He calls and tells me that instead of the ordered (and listed in the contract) Premium Sound Multimedia there is a high performance multimedia in it… I have today in the V70 the HU-850 with Dolby Pro. That was the reason (without listening to rehearsals) to order a premium sound. So. What now? I will listen to the HP Multimedia again and try to compare it. Does the High Performance Multimedia instead of Premium Sound make up for the price difference? What would you agree with the dealer? Yes, he wants to meet me (for me a little bit of 110€) on the agreed contract. Or order again? Thanks for any similar experiences and related decisions.

  • Purchase conclusion – forget something?

    Hello, now I have the purchase contract for the new XC 70 D5 GT available. Before signing now my question to all represented experts, if I have forgotten something important with the equipment. Therefore here the list of selected features: Swedish vehicle with preheater + timer, 4 x seat heating, manual tailgate, white, Summum – technical package with premium sound, keyless go and curve light – Speed-abh. Servo (I am convinced of) – Subwoofer – Bluetooth – sliding roof – butcher hook (removable) and consciously without 4C, because I have hardly used this in the predecessor and the advantage from my point of view is rather marginal compared to the extra charge. Have I forgotten something recommended? Greeting Tom
