Yesterday morning, 08:15, mileage: 202.459: a yellow light, in which combi I read: engine system Wart erf. The engine power sinks to felt 5hp. Right turn, engine off, start again, wrumm……. goes nevertheless!!! 100m later: a yellow light, in which combi I read: engine system Wart erf. engine power 5hp. F****** Call Assistance, 1h later the car stands on the tug, the replacement car is an Opel Astra petrol. Let’s see what will! The Opel once again taught me two things: – even on fabric seats you sweat – it may be that a petrol engine turns higher than a diesel. But do you want that?

Decision-making help with XC60…
Hello, after years of driving VW, the beta test takes place with the customer and I don’t want to be the beta tester anymore, I looked around at Volvo. Actually it should be a passat variant. 😉 But high has got what at 2,08m. An XC60 – all-wheel should be with the following configuration and some question marks in my head. – Ocean Race or yet another variant ? – D4 with Polestar or D5 ? – manual gearbox or automatic ? – Business package PRO – driver assistance package – Comfort package “Light” – light package for comfort package – standing heater or steering wheel heater ? – rear camera ? – speed-dependent servo steering ? – DAB+ Is the five-cylinder mature and “full gas-proof”? Are there leather seats with ventilation, 2 Volvo sellers claim it, others negate it and on the net I could find it at Volvo nix. Is there the digital tacho in any equipment or only in certain questions? Are there leather seats with ventilation, 2 Volvo sellers claim it, other nein it…

XC70 driving report in the FAZ “The Last Real Swede”
Hello everybody, I don’t think anyone has put in here yet – in the FAZ is a driving report for the XC70:http://www.faz.net/-gyb-7p8e1 once again a funny conclusion: “The extra charge list is annoying.” Really? They know the extra charge list e.g. from Audi? Lighting glove compartment and third belt at the back as “extra”… The best is the comment “No one misses five or six cylinders.” I already get my popcorn greetings!

Consumption of my XC60 D5 (times to the documentary)
Hello, to take it in advance, I don’t want to stamp the XC60 per se to the bad car, rather, thanks to MT and fuel monitor, I am absolutely sure that not only with the GT (see other Fred) but also with my XC60 is something not as it should be. Therefore, I ask you to refrain from any comments like “digital driving style” or “frequently contact with the floor plate” etc.. I care for a quick, but not racing driving style – even with the GT the manual lane to use the engine brake effectively and predictively. If there is any last argument for a careful driving style in this example driving, so be advised on Daisy! But now on the actual topic: I wanted to prove the reason of my current displeasure with photos once I have taken photos. Figured out is a ride, as it is done to 95% with my cars. After the minute full tanking I drive in Berlin-Mitte towards home (East Sea Coast) and now I’m almost at constant speed.

V70 III D5 Polestar for transmission software update? Gear oil spraying or change sufficient?
V70 III D5 205PS Automatic BJ2010 120tkm Hello my loved ones! I have a number of questions to the v70 experts among you: Do you think a polestar tuning for my vehicle makes sense? I love it especially in the hope of better switching sequences and the S mode. I drive in itself relaxed and economical, but that excludes the wish as I find with nieces; I also let it crash from time to time… Can you expect a better switching behavior? Is the power plus sharp and measurable (significant)? Should I let the transmission flush better or reach a reasonable result with two conventional gear changes at a short distance? The latter may come significantly cheaper… Is the timing belt due after just under 10 years or only at 140tkm and how critical is a delay? Does it like to break my speed or have a good time to ride idR? Is the engine possibly even a free runner [rather, or] is the one that can’t be clean with the Dcho-data?

My first point
After 43 years without points, I was caught on Saturday. Everything has come to an end… I stood at the red traffic light of a deserted junction, engine was off (start-stop automatic), brake was kicked, then the mobile phone was taken into the hand, switched off, and put away again. Duration of the process about 3 sec. The traffic light was then still for a good 15 sec. red, the engine was kicked out, the brake. Behind a wall in the blind corner to the right of me a patrol car had hidden. I then had it shortly afterwards with red glowing “stop” invitation behind me. Two young officials, discussion futile. 100 euros, one point. Perhaps the revenues in 2019 in this district are not yet correct. In any case, I feel the punishment at this height as disproportionate, even if the legislator so determined it after the last legislative amendment.

On wet road, always dirty rear of the V60
Hello dear Volvo fans! I’ve been driving a V60 MY 2014 for 3 months. Now I notice that in wet weather the entire rear will get dirty including the rear window. I would like to turn this off, and would like to know what you can try there.

Large Volvo dealer has filed for insolvency “Auto Haas”
Auto-Haas GmbH in Bingen with branches in Bad-Kreuznach, Diezenbach and other locations. It’s just a pity, some companies manage themselves down and then push everything to the financial crisis. I just hope that no further Volvo dealers have to close down. Clave

GT Sound
Hello, since the temperatures have fallen below 0°C, my GT is complaining (probably). Hang on 2 sound files, on which you experience my current soundscape: Both have been recorded this morning after about 10 min drive in Berlin city traffic, the accelerator pedal is not moved in centimeters, the car accelerates moderately from 0 to about 55km/h. In GT1.mp3 you hear at 0:15 (speed is kept) the howling, then I walk completely off the gas. In GT2.mp3 similar. The sounds are a bit subdued, the iPhone was in the “navibox”, to hear it well, you have to make it louder if necessary, sorry. Does anyone know that or does anyone know how to remedy it? merci & greeting, the manatee PS @erzbmw: at the occasion: by the way, does this correspond to the engine sound, which kept you in your D5 leader from ordering such an order?
