  • Purchase advice V60CC D4

    Hello you dear elk handlebars My mom and also my dad fell in love with the V60CC. Who could blame them for it… 😉 Now they play quite concretely with the thought of just as much. We played around together in the configurator and came up with the following configuration: V60 CrossCountry D4 FWD GT Summum Color: Rich Java 18″ Neso rims Interior: K70P, leather Comfort seats beige, beige sky and rest black Real wood Modern Then the packages: Business Connect Family Pack Intellisafe Pro (ACC etc.) Light Pack Options: Disc wash nozzles and seats in front heated steering force Shopping bag holder DAB+ Parking aid in front and rear rear rear camera Leather is mandatory, since Mama doesn’t want black interiors. And sports seats don’t go, because her seat area is too long. Xenon is obligatory, as well as ACC and active long-distance light. Return camera and beepser only right. What do you think about it? Would you leave something away, complement opinions to the color combo?

  • Iphone for music and phone?

    I am considering how to go further with mobile phones in the future. I need an answer from V60 owners who have an iphone. Is it possible to use the iphone as a telephone and at the same time as a music player. At the moment I have connected an ipod as a music player via cable and connected an HTC via Blootooth as a telephone. This works very well. But how does it look when the iphone is used as a telephone and as a music player at the same time? Is this possible, or does it have to be decided that Iphone is used as a telephone or as a music player? That when the music player calls on the phone, it is supposed or similar to me. Can someone help me further? Thank you very much.

  • Problems with Volvo On Call MY2012

    Hello, with my 4 weeks young XC60 MY2012 (km: 1200) it is no longer possible for me to check the vehicle status via iPhone app and – what is actually the worst – to program the heater. I have already used the functionality at least 10x successfully. Without problems. At the moment, with Volvo On Call none of the comfort functions goes. What is the registration at the APP and the on-call function out of the car. However, the friendly Volvo Supporter cannot help me any more. Does anyone have the same problems here at the moment? I hope it’s due to the Volvo On Call Services and not to my vehicle. With 2 different iPhones (3Gs + 4S) it doesn’t work any more. I have the Volvo App available in 2 different versions. Both fail. With a 4 weeks young new car this now dampens the still existing optimism and belief in the increased quality of Volvo products since 2004.

  • There ́s a new XC70 in town…

    It’s actually there! I didn’t believe it all worked out, but it did. Today the mail came, and of course I’ve already seen it… 😉 It’s still neatly packed, but also so beautiful! :-))) Here is the usual list of the ordered and actually delivered configuration (hopefully I can still get that together ;-)): XC70 D3 AWD Summum in black (the real), leather Inscription beige, real wood modern, adaptive steering, GT, laminated glass and seat grill for all. Pictures come as soon as I have picked up the car… 😉 On the place there were even 2 more XC70 (1 x Summum, 1 x Momentum), which should probably also be delivered at short notice. If someone is in doubt, if he should take summum or momentum and then take the summum, also because the rims look supposedly more chic (so ́s the case with me): Does it not because of the rims. The new 17″ look really good, even something nobler than the Zephyrus in 18″.

  • I’ve landed at Volvo again

    Hello, I know that I have never again taken the position to do a Volvo again, I didn’t have so much pleasure at my V50 Momentum. The problems that I encountered at the beginning and the defective driver’s seat (after 32,000 km) were the reasons for my displeasure. Now I just looked at and tested the V60 DRIVe a few weeks ago…… if I hadn’t done it, then the V60 didn’t go out of my mind. So that I didn’t have to worry about the considerations, I bought it and got it delivered a few days ago. – V60 DRIVe – Multimedia High Performance – Winter package (the tyres and rims I didn’t get over Volvo) – Family package It’s already interesting what happened in the last 6 years in technical developments and optimizations and was thrown into the vehicle construction. I hope that I will find one or the other type of my vehicle here. If it’s possible for me, of course, with my modest technical knowledge with tips on day-to-day.

  • annoying center console: it cracks when you push on it

  • Automatic release of parking brake

    in the manual of the V60, the D5 engine should basically be started in the second gear (i.e. started) (hand switch) – however, in the chapter “automatic release of the parking brake” it says that this is only done in the first and R-speed. Has anyone ever tried whether it is even possible to start in the second gear if you want the hand brake to be automatically released?

  • I’m looking forward to…

    …even after six months and 11,000 km still on every trip with the XC60. That had to be said, with all the terrible things that can be read here sometimes – creaking in any A-, B- or C-pillars, cracking in seats, cracks in cushions, black holes in the sensus, clamping belt locks etc. I don’t want to get out of the leasing contract early, nor does any Superb twist my head. So, enough sabled. Now get back out on the road. Finally… PS: I said what to say. Whoever is just as enthusiastic about his Volvo, is cordially invited to let go of only positive things here. Come on, people, put on the Volvo glasses…!

  • Purchase advice: v70 2.0d or 2.4d

    Hi together, I am just about to order the first volvo of my life (company car leasing) and wanted to ask you for your help. I swan between the v70 2.0d and the 2.4d. the former I have already driven and found it with the 136 ps neatly motorized. but there were of course neither family nor luggage on board. fits as base equipment + comfort package + select package + family package loosely to the leasing rate. for almost 50 euro payment would be from the 2.0d a 2.4d kinetic + select package + separate audio outputs at the rear. a v70 with this motorization is unfortunately not available to the dealer for a trial ride. maybe one of you had the opportunity to test both motorizations and can compare cars? interesting would also be your opinion on the topic pdc: useful, and if yes, only back or front? for your answer already in advance thanks to the elch owner in spe, michaelel

  • Delling in the leather on the driver’s seat

    I have black leather in my XC60 summum (MJ2011A). Basically, the leather in my car is very susceptible to pressure points anyway. But with my driver’s seat this is no longer a pressure point, but really “elegated”. I have now 20,000 km on the tacho and the leather hangs and flaps on the seat like a too big pants. I don’t have a thick purse in the back pocket and weigh about 70kg. Can someone reproduce this of you and take a picture of the driver’s seat?
