  • Conversion to black mirror flasher, VPARTS

    So, report enforcement! That’s what this is about:https://vparts.se/…/…ylingslevelblinkers-till-volvo-xc70-xc90.html I like it extremely much. Here are some pictures. PS: I would like to apologize for the level of contamination of my car.

  • XC60: BT-FSE and Nokia phones

    Hello community, there is a mobile phone purchase, and I have a few questions: Recommended by Volvo is e.g. the Nokia N97 mini. That has Symbian S60 5th Edition. The new C6 also has Symbian S60 5th Edition. So can I assume that all functions then work exactly as with the N97 mini? And what about the new Nokias and Symbian-3? Does anyone have experience here? And what about Motorola phones and Android (Milestone or Backflip)? Questions about questions … does the erzbmw

  • Discount campaign for V70?

    Hello, I just stumbled over a strange article at Spiegel Online, which reports about an almost spectacular IAA discount of 25% on the V70:http://www.spiegel.de/fotostrecke/fotostrecke-72558-10.html Strange, apart from the wrongly researched photo, however, that the supposed discount price, in which one should have saved over 8k EUR, is counted as 32950 EUR. That is the entry price of the V70 Drive. Kind of illogical, isn’t it? Is there now D5 at the drive price? Somewhere the author must have the core info. It would be necessary for the overpriced prices of VCG for the V70/XC70.

  • How does the Haldex clutch work?

    Hello, for the 47th KW our new XC70 D3 AWD is announced and I am concerned with the question of how the Haldex coupling used by Volvo works? At Wikipedia it can be read that Haldex couplings are also installed in the Bugatti Veyron. Is this exactly the identical couplings or is it more of the construction principle? (I think the latter is more likely…;-)) Basically, I wonder if the entire drive train always, i.e. permanently, is running along? Only, how can it do so when the coupling only provides for the end of power when the all-wheel drive is needed? Would I be very pleased about an understandable explanation. daujoons

  • Fender broken

    Someone caught my fender. Didn’t seem to notice the crash and that’s why the problem will probably hang on to me. I’d be interested in what can be done and what will be financially coming to me? After the small damage on the front last year for almost 10K, I expect the worst…

  • Wind noise – Whistles- V70 Mj.14

    Hello everyone! After changing the car from the V70 Mj.10 to the V70 Mj.14 (EZ May 14, 26tkm) a wind noise, more precisely a whistling from the front to the left at the height of the triangle A-pillar, side-panel and exterior mirror is bothering me. For the sake of completeness: my Volvo still has the BLIS mirrors with the cameras, no laminated glass on the sides. Since I am V70-experienced, I think I can distinguish between normal design-related wind noises. This whistle had not been glued off by the predecessor and I don’t find it normal. My friend has adjusted the door and looked at the seals, but unfortunately without success. I have looked at almost all the transitions in the area of the mirror and side-panel, even here already discussed fugue between the mud-wing and A-pillar and I’m reheard. Without result. Have all the seals in the area door/wind/wind hood and the bar on the A-pillar is not very noticeable, everything is good. Have checked the hollow space in the left wing less check out of 100, all the pipe, there is only a little bit in the right corner. Have changed.

  • my Black Edition has no level regulation

    Hello together, at the beginning of January I ordered my XC70 Black Edition and drove since the already cheerful 14000km. During the time of the order I had dealt a lot with the dynamic suspension. According to the forum and an official product information about the BE of Volvo this should be included automatic level control as standard. Now I was on the road 3000km with the trailer and certainly not overloaded at all. My car hung very low -> definitely no regulation active. I had asked the seller when ordering expressly again that the level mats are really present and he confirmed this again. Now I know that from KW46/14 the level regulation was deleted without replacement. I am really disappointed about this and have sent a mail to the friendly with request for clarification. Let’s see. Otherwise I am highly satisfied with the car and also as a train vehicle it works excellently. Gruss Wim

  • Switching from C70 D5 to S80 D5

    Hi, I play with the idea to separate myself from my C70 D5 because I get my new MX5 in 6 weeks. Therefore, I am looking for a replacement for the days I don’t want to drive open, need as no winter suitable convertible. Since I was very satisfied with my C70, it should become a Volvo with the beautiful D5 engine again. How different is the C70 from the S80, apart from the platform: How big are the differences between D5 180PS & 5 Gang AT and D5 185PS 6 Gang AT? What has been changed on the engine? Are the seats (and headrests) as comfortable as in the C70? To be continued…

  • Delivery shortage Winter tyres or Volvo rims?

    Just sit with the dealer of my full confidence and wait for my new Dunlop 3D winter tires on Segin. I find out when waiting for Volvo delivery bottlenecks and with the original rims not to follow up. My dealer had also put another combination in stock. Felge of another supplier and Semperit tires with warranty. As I trust my dealer, I got involved in the alternative. What I just wonder: Winter is, if I remember correctly, every year. Why is the car industry not prepared for it? My not Volvo in particular, only experienced the same 14 days at BMW. Also, instead of original, there was only one alternative.
