How do the D4 VEA diesel engines actually create the EU emission standard 6? With Audi, Peugeot and some others, to my knowledge, this only works by adding an additive (urea). Does Volvo use a special NOx catalyst or what is the trick? Cornelius

Dear community, Would just like to share my experience. Was last week in Hochfilzen at the Biathlon World Cup. Our T5 stood on a large, to a parking lot converted, snow-covered field. Due to the pluses the snow became soft and gatschig. As I walked down to the ankles I sunk. On the way home a Mini Cooper tried to get behind us with front drive away. What should I say, spinning tires and always deeper dug in. To add to that. Was tense like the Volvo behaves. Was just horny to drive there. He drove like on rails through the deep snow gatsch uphill. A little more gas and he came slightly across. Also on the slope it was no problem. Can only say that the winter fitness is very good and completely sufficient. Had this year often the opportunity to test the all-wheel. Has confirmed itself again and again. Just wanted to share this positive experience. Grinse now when I think about it! Greetings from Vienna

Dear Volvo community, I have recently had a V70 D5 automatic built in 2010. As time goes by, I notice more and more a roaring noise, which I had just dropped off and attributed to the 5 Zyl. Diesel. However, the more I pay attention to it, the more annoying it becomes. It is a dull, hollow roaring noise always only at approx. 1400- 1700 rpm – no matter in which gear the automatic is located and no matter in which speed range. The noise, which can be heard mainly inside, is most disturbing in traffic – very annoying. It is definitely in a quiet driving mode, if the engine doesn’t have to go up quickly, the worst. I had the problem examined already with the friendly, but they could not find anything. It would come from the direction of the engine room (at least he heard something), I would have typed rather on the exhaust system. Here in the forum are similar contributions, however, 10 years old and certainly no longer known about the noise ?

Hello all! My Volvo V70 R-Design eDrive 115PS Diesel, MJ 2012 does not manage the specified top speed. It is entered at 190km/h, in fact, according to Tacho he creates just 180km/h, which according to GPS-Navi would only be real 174km/h. Therefore my friend addressed. He read out the engine data and told me that the car would have gone bad. I probably would not have kicked it properly, that’s what you can see from my “low” average consumption of about 6 l. Apart from the fact that this is not really low, I am not satisfied with the statement (I think understandable way). And it’s also not true… To supplement: Purchased at the end of September, mileage today about 14500km. What do you think you have to drive a car and make that so much up? Thank you in advance for your thoughts!

After a ride with my new elk, I had to manually press the air conditioning or defroster key every time the windows were fogged, maybe you can help me: 1. how does the serial fog sensor work in the summum? Until now, I had to manually press the air conditioning or defroster key when the windows were fogged. In the manual there is also no word about the fog sensor. 2. Sometimes it happens that after the engine start (although not disabled) the control lights in the buttons for the track warning assistant and the distance warning DO NOT glow! – a look at the sensus reveals however that the chip is set. Also the systems work perfectly – only the control lights in the buttons are off. So I now press the button of the “spurwarnassist” – I turn off the system! At the same time, however, the control lights in the button for the distance warning is activated – the navigation lights in the button track warning assistant is only displayed after twice – (turn off, turn on) – then everything is normal again. Do you have to see the radio menu again, but you can not see the radio button again.

Hello, I was asked about a size comparison and a comparison of the driving performance XC60 2.4D vs V60 D5. Today I took 2 pictures, which I attached. The XC60 looks a bit bigger inside. The front seats are set the same (na, yes not scientifically…). What is noticeable is the larger interior height. However, the V60 has the sliding roof (was just there), the XC60 does not. To the driving performance I have created 3 small videos. Unfortunately, I can’t upload anything in Youtube without a link to google accounts anymore. Do you know another page where I can set movies? I don’t log on to the data rake anymore. Finally, I have a movie: 0-100, which shows how an opa at the control with 2 kids accelerates the V60, the second video is the elasticity 80-120, which shows quite plasticly how hiplahm the V60 D5 is, and as a third then a video with manually switched AT, in order to show how quickly the GT can turn it on.

Hello community ! Actually I wanted to order the XC60 as R-Design ……. after then it was established, what its equipment will be, I had to redispose again and have changed my summum direction R-Design ^^. This unfortunately did not change, because because of our caravan I absolutely wanted to have the level regulation, and that there is unfortunately not in the R-Design. Short intermediate conclusion after now 10 days and 1000 kilometers: (almost) ALL TipTop, 10,2 liters consumption with very soft driving mode ………….ABER > the electric tailgate is such a disaster, would really like to exchange for a manual – so something of ridiculous, loud, slow – and the Brezel I have of course already hit me already ( In the picture you see the 18 winter rim, for the summer I have the 19 inches Erakir in the garage stand. I am curious about your opinions :=) LG

Hello , can you display the water temperature in a V70III? Since I no longer have an ad in this car and can’t tell when it is at operating temperature I would be interested to know if there is any way to display it on the display.

Hello. I’ve had my XC 60 2.4 D FWD (175hp) with GT for a week. Short conclusion after 500 km compared to my V 70 D5 with GT (185hp) before: It’s quieter. It’s better at the front. I like the new seat with fabric better than the leather seats. The GT switches softer and faster than the previous one. Although it wasn’t bad before. It’s better on the road. My V70 liked to run after every track groove and thick road markings were also good. It’s subjectively just as fast on the road. It’s worlds more maneuverable, my wife He’s much more confusing to the rear! PDC is my opinion of duty! I’m very happy with my decision so far.

Hello Can anyone tell me about experience, whether the electric handbrake has proven itself in daily use. The reason for my question, I move soon and the outdoor parking space is on a slight slope, so that each time the electric handbrake has to be used to secure it. Does it not freeze in winter? Has this grown the permanent load? Sorry, perhaps for some a stupid question, however, I am currently occupied with this.
