  • GT: Switching from D to M is only possible via S / no winter program

    Hello Volvisti, had just allowed an XC60-D3-AWD-GT for 2 days now. I noticed the following: If I want to go from D to Manuell (e.g. to fix the 6th on the BAB), I first land in S mode. This is very often connected to an immediate down switch … which I exactly did not want to. So I have to switch manually 1 times, then I am in M mode. Do not find this optimally solved. Have in my C5-III the same Aisin gear, here there are 2 switches: – S mode ==> Transition in Manual is thus a movement on the gear shift, current gear remains in, everything paletti (and the S mode I never use!) – Winter mode (starting in 2nd gear, low gear turning numbers) ==> is missing with the Volvo also … or did I miss something? Greeting DN

  • Renewing Volvo Emblem

    Moin together, after 12 years, the blue Volvo emblem is half crumbled at the radiator gril. However, the rest can be modestly removed. Does someone have a guy like you can remove the rest?

  • S60T6 Heico after one year !

    I have now driven the S60T6 Heico a year and about 7000 km and can only say, top-class ! I know this is a subjective evaluation. If you want to drive a sporty vehicle with very good characteristics no way leads past the S60T6, of course even more, if you have bought the vehicle at a good price. One hears very little about this model here in the forum. I conclude from this a certain satisfaction of the owners, hopefully I am right there ? About the driving characteristics I can say nothing negative. The fuel consumption also keeps within limits (winter operation only short distances 13.0 lt. BC). For a vehicle of this performance class for me completely in order. My Cayman S consumes also no more, but is typical for Posrche and the Volvo is also still 300 kg heavier. That was, I would be pleased to read further reports about this model. Greeting Michael

  • Heating S 60 Drive

    Hello, I have exactly the problems with my new S 60 Drive (Bj. 07/12) like Pellexc in the thread to the XC 60. The wagon is not really warm when setting the heating in automatic mode. Even with the temperature adjustment of both sides 23° C no sufficient heating power is provided. The air distribution is poor, from the nozzles in the middle comes almost no air flow, with manual distribution in the footroom there is also no recognizable power. Do you have similar experiences? With 2 other Volvos, which I had (V 50 and V 70), the heating worked excellently. Greetings Jolalongo

  • Activate rear window wrench S80

    Hello forum, it is a bit embarrassing to me, but I tried to activate the rear windscreen wiper just 30 minutes in vain. I pressed every button and lever that I could find in every imaginable direction. The topic Navi was already such a topic in itself but I could manage this after a comparable long time then… Greeting Peter

  • Performance measurement according to Polestar – Sobering result 🙁

    hello together, because I didn’t notice much about my polestar performance optimization, was today at mtm on the performance test stand and had measured what the polestar optimization brings. the result was unfortunately not so intoxicating. power: 159.8 kw (217.2 ps) instead of 166 kw (225 ps) and 420,7 nm torque instead of 460 nm. now I think that a measurement of mtm should be already correct. what do you think about it? does someone possibly have a comparison measurement ? gruß mike

  • Cockpit of the V60 Hybrid in normal model?

    Hello, the new V40 was introduced with the same instrument cluster that the V60 Hybrid also gets. Do you think that the normal models will be equipped with it in the foreseeable future? I would like the new instruments very much. With kind greeting, Lobinho…

  • Suitable data carriers for USB port (it: USB stick in the XC60)

    Hi! I have a question… So far I used a 4GB stick in the “Premium Sound” and enjoyed the sound. After saving my CD collection to MP3 I had to switch to a larger stick. 16GB can’t read the system Has someone already had an experience with 8GB? Is there a tool for 16GB Michael XC60

  • V 70 Premium Sound Multimedia or High Performance Multimedia

    Would like to order a V 70 in the next 2 weeks. Unfortunately, my dealer does not have a V70 or other Volvo with Premium Sound available. He meant only HP enough. But since I sit in the car 2h daily and music is quite important to me I would be interested if the 1300 € surcharge is worthwhile. Has anyone ever compared this here directly? Listen only digitally (USB/Ipod).

  • Heating and Volvo on call or Geartronic

    Hello together, after a lot of consideration and browse here in the forum I have ordered the days my XC60 with the following equipment: D5 Summum Terra Bronze + Sandstone/Anthracite Packages: Driving dynamics driver assistance families safety comfort Xenium + SHZ + Volvo On Call. So I’m at the limit in terms of budget. Now that I’ve read again and again how good the GT should be with MY2012, I’m thinking about swapping SHZ+Volvo On Call for the GT. What’s your opinion?
