One year is over, the first inspection is done. Cost a good 190 euros. Running performance slightly over 10,000 km. An unscheduled pit stop due to a bent hose of the wiper system. Sound problem (tone came only after about 60 sec) was fixed during the inspection by an update. Does not occur any more. Recently the message: Volvo On Call maintenance was required. But disappeared again. Engine and gearbox of the finest. Everything very quiet. Performance satisfied if you want it and want it from time to time ic h. The automatic switches very quietly, you hardly notice it. Consumption strongly dependent on the driving mode. With normal stress approx. 8 – 9l. It can also be done under it, but also loosely over it. ACC and AHB never again without. One of the best inventions. Nice how reliable it works. BLIS and CTA also do not want to miss, has saved me often already, especially in narrow gaps. Seat and steering wheel heating very effective, if the heater is not used sometimes. Not because the moose is in the garage. Otherwise, the floor heating reliably performs its service. Front disc heating was unfortunately not often used. The electric tailgate a nice toy, but nice. PDC in front and back in connection with the rear camera indispensable. The adjustable steering is on medium and has never been adjusted. Luckily, was not so expensive. Audio system: Premium sound with subwoofer sounds awesome. DAB is also very good, if the reception d a is. Touringfahrwek still quite tight in connection with the 18 customs officers. In winter a bit more pleasant. Voice control, if you master it, very good. Navigation once bucked. Road to new, happened on the Baltic Sea. There was a little unrest. Traffic sign detection actually good, even electronic boards no problem. Only the thing with the place signs really should be improved. Oh yes, start stop is almost always switched off. On off, on just in the city n I learned to drive in the lane again through the lane support. Seats excellent, just typical Volvo. Composite glass already has a soundproofing effect. Internet connection via the additionally inserted Sim with the browser from Volvo very slow, so only in case of an emergency. The black varnish is very care-free, but always an eye-catcher. The Keyless go, simply comfortable, never without. Digital instrumentation, you get used to it quickly. I would never have thought to give up the “hands mode”. The seller should keep right – performance mode. So enough of the swarming. We are completely satisfied and would do it again. Every ride a pleasure. But now he stays for 14 days – vacation. I also know what the first thing will be when we come back… But with the help of the app you can see if he is waiting nicely in the garage.

Hello together, can someone give me a tip which sport exhaust sounds good at the S60T6 AWD? Shouldn’t be too loud or roaring. Any experiences? Greetings Florian

Hej hej together, as soon I intend to flush the oil in my S60 T6 in the above-mentioned transmission I have just seen in the operating instructions which specification is prescribed. There stands BOT 341 ! But that is after google search an oil for double clutch gearbox ???? In the SuFU mostly comes the recommendation JWS 3309 , but this is to my knowledge only for the ” old ” 5-speed GT ok, not for the Aisin transmission from 2008. What now ? Of course I have searched the common oil guide, a over there everything comes out from the ATF IV to ATF VI. Most likely I was still stuck at Ravenol with the ATF T-WS, but what is now according to Volvo quite officially the correct release ? The BOT 341 can not it be? Have a nice weekend everyone !

Hello together, have been having problems with the phone call over the hands-free device for a long time. The phone connects via Bluetooth without any problems at the start of the engine, but then loses the connection quite quickly (approx. 2- 3 minutes). Can then connect again, display in the car shows then also again the phone and shortly afterwards the coupling is lifted again. Can then repeat as often as possible. In the spring afterwards a software update was made, but did not bring any improvement. Since approx. 1 week the radio spins to it. Sound is short away, then continues to play, again short sound oscillations, and so on and so on. Display then goes completely out of time and again. Errors do not always occur. For ideas I would be very grateful Fzg is a V 70 III, year 2007 with Premium Sound

Hello together Does anyone have any experience with the Michelin A4 Alpin on a V70? I could get 4 pieces at a very reasonable price. Of my Contiviking Contact 5 two only last this winter and the other two are DOT 2013. Moreover, the tyre is not a quiet representative. Originally only for the Scandinavian market were produced. Now the Michelin Alpin A4 has not been produced since 2018. So the DOT will probably also be from 2017 or 2018. That’s not what ATU is saying to me. Well, the price is 4 units in size 225/55R16 at 195€+ 80€ assembly. I Googled once and the Alpin A4 is getting more and more praised like the successor Alpin 5. I had the Alpin 5 on my Vectra C Caravan and was already more than satisfied with it. That’s why I would be interested in an opinion of you Volvo drivers (especially V70 riders) what you think of the tyres and if it makes sense to buy a model now which doesn’t This is the case in the United Kingdom, France and the United Kingdom.

Dear Volvo friends, since yesterday I am proud owner of an XC70 D4 AWD summum, model year 2014, which I could buy on favorable conditions as a storage vehicle with daily registration (120 km) (pictures will follow soon!). It is a German version with digital instruments. Since I had an XC70 D5 from the model year 2006 so far, the conversion was not too large. After studying the extensive operating instructions, currently only one question remained open for which I islang neither found a suitable answer in the forum nor here: The oil level can probably be determined via the BC. I also found the corresponding menu item, but I can not check the oil level there (with the engine switched off), because the submenu is not active (grey shown). What do I have to do to get information about the engine oil level, or is the display activated only if the oil level has to be regulated, e.g. if oil has to be refilled? would be nice if I could get hints from you!

Hello, I read some topics up and down, but I still lack some answers anyway. I plan to change the car soon. Currently I drive an MB C-Class. Originally I had to buy an S-80, but are rare cars. As an alternative the XC60 would be in question. So far, so good. As chance happens, I meet an acquaintance who wants to sell his XC60. Would I get quite cheap. XC60 D5 AWD bj. 10/09 with approx. 150 000km automatic transmission. Customer services etc. What do you have to consider with this vehicle? Do the four-wheel drive problems? Thanks in advance for the answers.

Hello together, currently driving an XC60 BJ at the end of 2012 with 163 HP automatic. I am very satisfied, the 5 Zyl. I like very much. Will again buy a newer XC60 an annual car in the spring, so BJ. 2014. I am not sure if I should take the “old” 5 Zyl. or the new 4 Zyl. with 181 HP Euro 6 with 8 gear automatic. Is there anything negative about the new 4 cylinder? (except the loss of the 5 Zyl. sound) Didn’t really find anything in the net. On A llrad I am not instructed to live in the north. Greetings Steve

Hello moose driver, I have exchanged my S60 D5 2008 for an XC60 D4 Mj2014 8Gang automatic VEA with 181Ps 135Tkm. with a little extra charge. However, he already brings a few Aua ́s with. Suffering topic Start Stop. Battery EXIDE AGM 70Ah – New! auxiliary battery according to invoices from 2019. Now the system does not work as it should. I have read a lot but found no matching answer. The message is Start Stop not available due to unfavourable conditions n, engine is too hot ect. there is no expliciter message like steering, electrical problem as it otherwise appears. Battery I searched 3 weeks ago. Vehicle is moving every day, distance about 100 km of it 70km highway. Does anyone still have an ignition idea? Sensus Connect and Internet. I only have the option to connect via Bluetooth Thetering via mobile phone (S20 Plus). On the phone I released for MYXC60 Bluetooth Thetering. The phone is Connected. Spotify ect. works. however, after a certain the message comes: No connection possible. No matter if browser or apps. Can someone help me there? Locking the doors: vehicle closes on the road. Super, works. when opening the driver’s door, only this opens. No matter how I set it up in the menu. that’s really annoying, I have to think about unlocking every time I go to the trunk for example. is there a solution here? Otherwise beautiful Vehicle. Unfortunately no couch flair more like in S60. Greetings AndyMTK

Moin My V60 D3/D4 with start/stop from 2012 requires a new battery because the start/stop no longer works. Message in Sensus says that the electrical system is to blame. I have already replaced the small support battery under the wind course. Nevertheless, no improvement. When it was still a bit warmer it was still going on. Therefore I think that the main battery has to be replaced. Now I read that it has to be an AGM/VRLA because of the start/stop system. On the Internet I also find EFB B atterien which are supposed to be able to start/stop?! Can you trust it? It’s at least 30€ cheaper I don’t want to save the money but if you can save and still do everything right, why not? Have links to my selection here on eBay: EFB Battery AGM/VRLA Battery Which one is the right one or better? Greeting, René
