Hello dear Volvo-Forengemeinde, I have been the owner of a used XC60 (MJ2016) since yesterday. Now I am dealing with my first Volvo intesiv and I discovered this “On Call” or “SOS” button in the sky. A pressure on the “On Call” button caused only a short text fade “The button has to be pressed for more than 2 seconds”. Otherwise nothing happened. Which also seemed logical to me, because I did not conclude an on-call contract with Volvo be. In the “MyCar” menu the entry “Enter Open-PIN” was added in the on-call submenu. As far as all clear and understandable. Today I dared to press this SOS button. I didn’t have a Volvo-On-Call contract anyway and my smartphone was not connected either. What should happen already I thought. I pressed the button longer and there was something on the display with connection. I didn’t think about it now. But suddenly it really rings! Of course, I stopped this immediately and wondered how it was possible without a smartphone and SIM card in the vehicle modem at all. A few minutes later it rang in the car quite shrill and a nice lady on the phone asks me if I need help. One was embarrassed. Of course, I politely apologized and explained the situation to her. She was also a little surprised that these buttons work, although I don’t have a Volvo-On-Call contract. It was then for a while a small SOS symbol is visible in the screen instead of the phone listener, but then disappeared a few minutes after the call. Since this action also the menu item “PIN input” in the on call submenu has disappeared. I don’t know why? And if I press the on call button now, there is no message at all. I don’t dare to press the SOS key anymore. Can someone please tell me about this on call? Why did the emergency call work? rhaupt? How is this technically possible? And where has this PIN input menu item disappeared? Questions about questions. Thank you in advance. LG, Roli

There stood up and wakes the moose. He screams at MIR FEHLT WATER, MACH ME. First a stupid face on my side. So far no stains found under the car (except for climate water in summer). bonnet on …. With flashlight (05:45 in the morning) nothing wet. Cool water closure on .. NIX DRINN. Oh man. In the garage there was still a new can of frost protection. Purely with it .. UPS a good liter goes in…. Where has there been stuff? From the work my Volvo-screw ng “We have to look at this right away” . Thank God the PRO is finished, because the moose can be expensive too. So the date and Friday in the early afternoon. Vida says a fan error .. mmmh. This can also be normal, as the tail run is interrupted at low Batt. voltage. CO2 test .. easier knock-over of the test fluid and on the water in the balance tank a light film .. Oil. Since I was first bad. Comment of my “friendly” we have un This morning, your engine falls into a row (year of construction and mileage) in which there are problems with the head seal, head or fuselage. Super At the age, Volvo even seems to do something about culant.. aha error picture is known. Fixing over exchange of the head seal, head or/and fuselage up to the complete engine .. Moves between 3.5k to approx. 8k. Swallow .. since the Pro has already paid off. In a subsequent phone call was already the Fr Puh. Takes about a week. I now have a V70 as a loan. Let’s see how the development developed. Also the Audi machine from the old one had its quirks at the beginning. They probably had problems pouring the engine block which led to cracks.

Hello everybody, I noticed this winter that the tailgate does not use it at low temperatures and for a longer time, when opening makes very alarming knarz noises. Sounds as if Kunsstoff is slipping over Kunsstoff. I sprayed the hinges with silicone oil before, but that didn’t matter how much. Maybe someone could have noticed such a noise when opening the tailgate, and what would be even cooler, someone has a trick like that Is it really embarrassing for my ABM buddies who always smile at my elk from their full premium bodies when his tailgate is opening when jaulting. Is a moose is already clear, it just has to tubes, but maybe there is a solution.

hello to everyone, I get a new volvo v70 III as a company car unfortunately only in the cinematic equipment…… now I wanted to ask if someone is already in possession of the new v70 kinetic, and could show me pictures of his vehicle. at the 3 volvo dealers I was with, I could not be shown the cinematic equipment…unfortunately by the way: I had the choice between: audi a4, mondeo, passat, c-class, vectra, laguna or 3er bmw. I hope the right choice was made z u have……I find: prefer a new v70 in cinematic equipment, than no volvo at all… 🙂 I look forward to your photos, respectively your reviews ….. gruss jerry

Hello to the round, after which I converted from blue/weß to elk, I also wanted to say hello once and tell my first impression after 3 months and 15,000 KM mileage. The reason for the change from BMW to Volvo was that I didn’t share the increases in value at BMW anymore and had many quirks that I didn’t share under the aspect of engineering performance at all. Since it was an E61, I recommend for those who are interested in only two points to google like Krummerriss u Since I found the V70 III already very classy, it came into the narrow selection and after reading the purchase advice here, then it became a V70 D5, AWD, EZ 03/2014 in black, with black leather, sliding roof and automatic. These were the, except for AWD, have things. Everything else like electric tailgate and corner light were no wishes, but with the used car search it is not easy to get everything under one hat. Conclusion after the time, it is a sober car, not meant bad, but it is for me without emotions, but practical, looks stable and reliable. After the running time I was already with my BMW 2x in the workshop. Since I drive 50 TSD KM p.a., I can say that my cars are very demanded and I also deal very much with the topic brand then. You have a nice evening and exciting times here. Greeting Axel

GOOD DAY! I drive a V 60 D 4 automatic from the year 2011 with the 2-L 163 HP machine, which now has more than 230,000 km on the clock. Question 1: Is it possible to replace this engine with a D 5, 215 HP engine. Question 2: Who has already made such a conversion and can give hints what to consider and where there are used D 5 engines, who installs them and what it could cost overall. Thank you for your interest.

Hello together, am currently looking for 19″ rims for the XC 60 and I’m not quite sure what there is to consider. Currently I have the following rims in mind:Diewe Trina As I said, the rims should be 19″. Unfortunately, I’m not quite sure how the Tüv etc. works (I read that there is something to consider, unfortunately have no or little idea of the whole thing). As a tire I would like to take for the summer 235 R55, should suffice. This combination is identical with the Erakir from Volvo. The Xc 60 is in black, so who still knows nice rims always with it. Do not want to change something on the vehicle etc. maybe someone can tell me what experiences there are with the Tüv etc. or if there can be problems. Thanks in advance !

Dear all, I’m quite new in MotorTalk, so far a V40 1.8i from 1999, now a V70 D3 as family cross-country runner should be here (Bj 2011 163PS, Ocean Race Edition, 45tkm, geartronic, checkheftgepfl. from the dealer). Are there some important features for the second-hand purchase here to consider with the type? As far as I have seen (here on MT) there was a motor update of the D3 in May 2011. Overall I found little real problems so far online with this series. Who do you have a few tips in With reference to this model series and Bj I would be really grateful. Greetings! Sören

Hello everyone, for a long time I have been looking for a new car for my family. My wife always wanted a Volvo and now I have found one that corresponds to my ideas regarding engine performance 😉 Here are the key data Volvo V70 2.5T Flexi Fuel(DRIVe)Momentum Year 07-2009 80TKM 231PS The following equipment -Bi-Xenon headlights -Dachreling -Parking aid electronic -Freephone system Bluetooth -Speed control system (Tempomat) – Transmission automatic – Geartronics (6- Steps) -climate comfort package -sitzheizung vorn und hinten -electronic engine heating -medium armrest front with beverage holder -screw head cleaning system (SRA) -sensor disc fitting detection -hugging coupling -multifunction steering wheel -tinted rear window The car is at 18T€ . Did I find price very attractive. But what exactly is an electric engine heating ? I think to have read that you can unlock a parking heater at almost every Volvo, is this V70 of the Fa ll? E85 is also well located because of my work the next E85 gas station is 800m away :-). And what should I pay attention to with this car? Wanted to do a test drive on Wednesday. Greetings

Hi, everybody, I had a strange occurrence today with my moose, V70 from 2013. The ventilation was normal and I wanted to set it down a little bit, but what happened was that the fans were running at full power/speed from now on. I could not change the ventilation performance anymore. Even after turning off the car and turning off the ignition, the ventilation continued to run “full pull”. According to the Volvo Speci, the pre-resistance/controller is very likely defective. that yes, that with defective resistance the fan no longer runs at all… So that the battery is not immediately empty, I first closed off. Had someone ever changed the problem or the controller? Shall sit somewhere in the driver’s footroom. Thank you!
