Hello fans, sometimes a pleasant topic: During my last stay in Sweden I filled up my XC60 Drive 2.4. The BC showed the rest of the route 780 km. After approx. 100 km driving distance with 80-110 km/h with cruise control, the BC display wandered to this astronomical value. Unfortunately I was awakened from my dreams after the “show” in Germany and brought back to the hard ground of the facts with a normal consumption. Greetings Paulchen

After we had had very good experience with Volvo (XC90), we bought an XC60 for a workshop bike. Here are the key data: XC60 – D3 – 120kw – Diesel – EZ 22.07.2010and then it started When you give gas, it takes time and again for a felt eternity until he starts. At intersections where you have no lead, the life is dangerous. When you put in the reverse gear the vehicle simply goes off. The warning lamp for the soot particle filter goes again and again and the vehicle goes into its emergency running program. The above mentioned problems were there from the beginning! At approx. 28,000km the engine warning lamp went on, the vehicle went out immediately and the ADAC fetched. The vehicle was dragged to the next Volvo dealer. Diagnosis: Cylinder head seal defective. One wanted to renew the seal first, then seal and head, finally the whole engine was still switched off again! Result: Warning lamp for the soot particle filter is always back to the new one!

Hello everyone, recently I’m in a Ford Kuga. a 2.0 l gasoline. What scared me is the extremely loud rolling noise of the car. Now my question: Is the XC 60 a quiet car with regard to the rolling noise? Can it be used as a field service car with about 200 – 300 kilometers a day? I’m interested in a diesel engine. Many thanks in advance Jerry

Hello! My XC60 R-Design should actually arrive next week, therefore a question about the possible winter rims. Does any of you have 20 inch winter tires on it? I don’t know if I should order a second set IXION II for the winter. Then I can forget the snow chains, though? I’m afraid if I take the Pan 18 inch rim recommended by the dealer, I will be unhappy with the look (20 inch summer vs 18 inch winter). What do you think about 20 inch in winter? Thank you for your advice.

Hello, maybe someone has experiences here. Since I am always on the road in France, I plan to get myself a telepeage transponder. Maybe someone already has such a one in use and can tell me his experiences for mounting the transponder. I have a V70 OceanRace model year 13. In the manual page 108 … field in which no IR film is applied A 47mm B 87mm. Both in the picture with dimension arrows from above. Probably there is a complete strip of 47mm to 87mm from the upper edge of the disc without coating? Would not like to destroy the merits of the German/French reconciliation in the last decades by blocking the passage track as a foreigner because the thing does not work cleverly ;-). Unfortunately, my French is too bad to ask this question in a French forum. Many greetings, Karsten

…………. would be a section “ideas” which is still missing in the car, or what I would like to have, what one should change. If there is such a section here, okay, I did not find it. And if not then maybe set up and only for ideas and nothing else. Greeting HHH

Hello guys (and girls), can anyone explain this? Do and Fr last week: 1x daily use of heating à ca. 35min with subsequent 2x 3 minute drive (acc. to my wife – yes – I know, you shouldn’t do it). Weekend: Vehicle is not used. Monday: 7 am start of heating via FB. 7:50 am car reached. Heating is off (ok). Start attempt. Nix happens. Message Battery voltage too low. Rest is clear: It runs in Kita / I will pick you up to work. Further start attempts fail. Normally SH does not start if juice is not enough to start the engine. Has definitely already worked for me. Inspection only 6 days ago. All i.o. incl. battery. Workshop on the phone at a loss – should not have happened. I should hang battery on the charger and watch in the future. Everything is no problem, only worries me that I could not be immune in the future…. Thanks for any tips. kleenerfaxe

Hello! I drive the A99 every day near Munich towards Salzburg; coming from the A94 towards the east. I mostly drive with Navi, because I would like to be redirected to the country road with too much traffic jam. So almost every day I can be told by the Navi woman “now turn right towards Salzburrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrg” – she says this so funny, funny, is so far the only place where I have noticed this. Do you have any more such phenomena? Is there another voice to count on in the next Sensus generation? Sometimes find Ms. Volvo a bit cool 😉 And I know this is not a real problem – but it makes me smile every day.

Dear forum! I have problems with the heating power of my car and would like to get to the bottom of the matter. Although the heating is very fast, after a kilometer lukewarm air comes out of the heating system. But unfortunately this lukewarm air does not get much warmer even after longer driving. I was yesterday in the workshop where the software was checked and no problem was found (everything without calculation and under guarantee). I would be interested if some have the same problem or if one has to accept the nevertheless weak heating power. Lg Michael H.
