  • From 2012 new competitor for the V70

    Hello, I just read this, for me really very interesting report. I drove it already, as a limousine, with the old 2.7 d and was enthusiastic. Super insulated, good off not too hard chassis, very noble interior equipment and as I think, a really chic design. Moreover, despite better equipment, is also cheaper than the German competitors. And in addition, the new 3.0 SD should be a hammer engine, also with the 8 steps Geartronic. Greeting Michael

  • Delivery times Volvo XC 60

    Hello, I wanted to announce the current delivery times or ask for experiences of like-minded people. I ordered an XC60 2.4 AWD R design at the end of September. According to my dealer, I have to adjust to a delivery time of 8-10 months. Is there similar statements from other dealers??? Greetings

  • Exhaust gas cleaning system warning lamp and puzzling workshop

    Hello, yesterday the warning light which is referred to in the manual as “warning lamp exhaust gas cleaning system” went to my V60 D4 MY13. The manual recommends to use the service of a contract workshop. I then went to the. The workshop master said that he could not do so much, which did not satisfy me. After a little drilling he let himself be persuaded to hang the car to Vida. He might say it will be a quick shot. After about 15 minutes he came again and said he could not find anything in the short time. I should come back again if he had more time. My question if I could drive the mindlessly was answered by him with yes. Then I did not have it based on it. Is it indeed so difficult/long-term about the OBD interface to read out the errors of the steru equipment? Or is there possibly so many error messages that the master needs to read about these hours? Or is there perhaps even no error message at all? There was no message in the display at all and start/stop is still going on. Also the car drives in the end? Does I have some kind of warning?

  • Questions before buying a V60/V70

    Hello, I plan to get a new car soon – it should become a Volvo, either a V60 or V70 (at the top), as an automatic from BJ 2014 (136 or 163 hp would not matter to me). My current car, a Focus 2.0 TDCI with Powershift (double coupling) was so far very reliable, which I expect of course also from the next one / hope. Problem points in general are with Diesel yes DPF, Turbo, automatic transmission, injectors which quickly go into the money…To get something ready for the car search can therefore my questions to the Volvo drivers of you: 1. I have at my Focus a so-called maintenance-free DPF (cDPF). Is this with Volvo likewise or there there there are intervals in which additives to be filled up or the DPF even after the runtime has to be exchanged? 2. the 1.6 Focus had temporary problems with the Turbos. As far as I know, or had Volvo already installed these engines (PSA) already. Are there motorizations at the V60/70 with which increased turbocharges should be known and should be avoided?

  • Volvo S80 Questions about Problem, Lowering and Performance Increase

    Good evening, dear elch vernatics (to whom I count myself ) As well known, I own a 2010 Volvo S80 D5. Now I have been having problems for quite some time, my steering wheel trembles (if sun blind is wobbly down it lightly, so there is some disturbance in the vehicle) and there is a trembling when driving, which can be felt in the steering wheel. In the big Inspekion last month the wheels were freshly cleaned out. Then it went short-term (vllt. was only imagination) and the problem occurs again. At the time are 19″ 245/35 installed, nevertheless I had the problem with the winter tyres already. Does anyone have any idea or plan about it could lie? If the above mentioned error is cleaned up, I would like to lower my Volvo in the coming year, of course only with feathers. The main question is, I have a 4C driving station installed, is that is so easy to lower with the Volvo manufacturer? If someone has experience with engine tuning(performance increase by chip), if you like Master Tiethof trust or screw. I don’t want to keep up on the company.

  • Deepest seat adjustment different with mech./el. seat operation

  • Why no knee and side airbags at the back of Volvo?

    Hello Volvo friends, even after 3 years and about 80000 km I am very satisfied with my V 70 III 2.0 D. What surprised me at the time and now also with the new designs S 60, V 60: Why does a brand such as Volvo offer neither knee airbags nor side airbgs at the back – at least as a special equipment? Also my dealer did not know a reasonable answer. Your opinion on this would interest me.

  • iPod Classic at Sensus: how much GB to run / letter search

    I would like to know how the iPod Classic works in the sense of MJ11 or 12: Can Sensus handle a bulging iPod Classic 160 GB? What about the search function: can individual letters (e.g. initial letters of the interpreters) be controlled here? In older posts it is often stated that the letter search function does not work, but in my V70 MJ 2012 the letter search works if I attach HD or USB stick (with other problems…: ). So, who offers the most GB and up to which letter can you search?

  • I have the opportunity to lease the contract in the long term

    background is that I could buy a camper from relatives on very attractive conditions, but 3 cars are too many for me, everything doesn’t work right anymore, there would be a parking space missing, the Womo is a box van, so could also be used quite normally. As I turn it, one is left, the little smart of my wife should remain, she has already said. Are there thoughts, or ideas on a legal basis? Thanks
