  • HEICO performance increase in the XC60 D3 AWD with only 198 hp instead of 230 hp

    Hello, I have a XC60 D3 AWD MJ 2011 with HEICO tuning. Here in the forum the performance gain is described with the descriptions „completely new auto- or “… the performance fold is done with clearly more pressure but quite uniformly. I could not confirm this with my vehicle. It was after the tuning a performance gain to be recorded, but almost 70 HP (from 163 to 230) was certainly not. So what to do. From the performance test stand and sometimes independently the performance had to be checked. The result : 198 HP engine power according to DIN (according to EEC probably even less) measured. This corresponds to almost 50% less performance increase than promised by HEICO. At the HEICO SPORTIV premium partner it was announced that the date for the re-examination at the Tuningdoc. One day workshop stay with an S60 than rented and in the evening the missing horses should be in the stable or under the hood. Let’s see. Today then on the performance test stand and let the horses count. 235 PS engine performance measured according to DIN. Well, it’s not possible!

  • Sensus Software

    I allow myself to open a new thread. It should make sense to discuss the software versions of Sensus (with the SuFu I found nothing suitable): What I read so far are crashes, the TFT remained dark etc. Also the problem with the Iphone and Bluetooth. In the last days the first vehicles with the new version 09F5 were on the way. Maybe this version has fixed one or other problem or implemented new features ?

  • V60 galvanizing – light defective display

    the V60 has a galvanized body (read nothing of it in the technical data) – I also ask because the warranty, which was 12 years against rusting in the V50, was obviously reduced (according to the car newspaper) to 8 years. Is that correct? 2. also I read nothing anymore that the V60 has a “light defect” display. Does anyone have experience? Is this reported in the BC with defective bulb or LED? 3. Are the tail lights with the V60 LED? (because they are so elongated stripes – but also not in the data). Thanks.

  • The loading edge fits from the old model year XC60

    Again something about the loading edge. Volvo has, as is well known, improved the loading edge on the XC60 and I wanted to know what material this is from now on? (Alu?) and whether someone has already played with the thought to install the artificial edge of the old model year if it fits at all?

  • Purchase advice: Used V70 for low-value drivers / high resale value

    Hello dear forum community, after a few weeks of research I just try it with my own thread for our upcoming purchase decision. To the background: We are two; at the beginning of 30, so far without a child, live in a smaller city with a lot of land around it and have been the last 10 years without own car. In the first years still with Bahncard, then the last 2 years mostly with car rental we have noticed that simply the spontaneity, just times away In short, we finally want our own car In figures: In recent years, including fuel and train tickets/BC, we have always spent about 2500 € / year on mobility, of which a large part is due to the rental cars. Without having driven a lot of Volvo, we have had the combination of cars, cars, cars, cars, cars, cars, cars, cars, cars, cars, cars, cars, cars, etc. We have always been fascinated and therefore it was quickly clear to us that it must become something in the direction of V70 or XC 70. In the meantime we know concretely that it should probably be a V70 II or V70 III. But now one thing for us is actually not sure yet. We do not know if we want to keep the car permanently. So this is in about such an attempt for 2-3 years, in which we want to determine whether we like it permanently or yet switch to autoless again. (aside from a few other little things about the equipment) therefore, that we could sell the car on the one hand relatively quickly and with the slightest loss of value again, if we actually decide against it. Important core data: Yes, and that was it in principle already. Color, seat covers, other equipment and especially the motorization is still variable and we would (in principle) focus on how well the car can be sold again later on. h e.g. the V70 III with 145hp-sauger, which I find currently in the whole stock exchanges for low money at low KM; they seem to be absolute shopkeepers and seem to me to be somewhat undermotorized anyway. But what motorization is suitable? 2.0T, 2.4T, 2.5T, T5? What fits “to us”, and what is not a shopkeeper, but goes on well again? What extras should we necessarily have in it, because it is worth it in resale? So that we can make an optimal purchase decision tr effen, I am dependent on your help and experience. Look forward to all comments PS: What do you think of this offer for example: – would that be possible for our profile?

  • Return or retain?

    Hello, I did a Volvo V70 III D5 `09, >150tkm last week. In the purchase contract, the friendly person took all the special equipment that was stated on his homepage down from the purchase contract, with the statement that it might be very expensive for him, if something is stated, which is not installed, and I would demand it. – until now everything is available to me. On Tuesday I found out that in this a performance increase was carried out by software from Heico. – I had to point out to the dealer ;-), in the appearance was nothing specified. However, I am now very unsure because of the software found by chance, since the vehicle was also maintained by him check booklet. This software is still active according to his statement… The friendly person offers me a deletion of the software… The vehicle has an automatic transmission, how very “couldn’t” (must not necessarily have been heated up by my old opinion)? I tend at the moment to give back the vehicle, even if a familiar, which meant for engine development… the engine does not have anything to do with the engine, but of course – I don’t have a bad opinion.

  • Navigation update

    hello, I need an information: wanted to make an update of the navigation maps and buy the dvds. now I absolutely need the activation code for this? where do I get this and how much does it cost? can I buy dvds from ebay that don’t have such a code that will work?

  • Battery charging

    As a short-distance driver, I have repeatedly received from my V70 the indication that the battery level is low. Until now, there has never been a problem to start the car. Today, I had the problem that it only went manually (see error message). Where is there the logic to prohibit the car from starting via power management when the car produces more power than it consumes after starting? What charging alternatives are there if there is no power outlet available? (except half an hour driving in a circle, of course)
