Hello Together, my V60 D3 from 2012 will always switch on the rear wiper when the reverse gear is inserted and the rain sensor is activated. Is there a way to switch off this automatism? Greetings from the North Steffen

Hello guys, have a question to you about how you care for your elk. I would be particularly interested in the care of the leather seats with a 2 year old car like mine. I got the original leather care for Volvo at Scandix, which is supposed to be quite good. Is a thorough wet wipe of the leather seats also at the young age and then only treat with the leather balm or would you also do the cleaning? What do you use for the paint? Have the color sapphire black metallic. Thank you for your advice Greeting Ulf

Good day, I got a new Volvo XC60 here. For 4 weeks I have got it now and sometimes I have the problem that the Internet / GPS only works about a minute after the engine start or usually only after about 7 minutes. This is quite annoying if you want to go and the navigation does not work accordingly and you can get your phone out with a 70k car first. The workshop has already read out the control unit and found nothing. An update w urde also performed that unfortunately did not do anything. Problem is also difficult to recreate because it sometimes works for days and then it goes for a whole day with every restart only after a few minutes. Does someone still have such a problem here and maybe knows what it is so that I could tell the workshop?

Hey Volvo Community, I am now 1 year proud V70 Bj 2007 owner and passionate camper. Would like to put me a roof tent, however, I have a model where only the cross beams can be mounted in the door frame. According to roof tent manufacturer, the dimensions of the carriers do not agree (carriers themselves too wide, distance between the carriers too low and carrier length too short) and the load capacity is doubted (roof tent James Baroud Odyssey is supposed to be, weighs about 70kg). res Seen V70 with roof railing and also a bad YouTube video where a railing is installed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLWFt6GqGdA) – the good man has but some problems with the fit etc. Does anyone have experience or tips for retrofitting a roof railing? Best regards from Tirol, Theo

Hello, I’ve been the owner of a Volvo XC60 with EZ 2014 since yesterday.. now I’ve played the Navi times updated and since the latest version on it. I’ve seen that there is a new version for the Center Display that looks more tidy, but probably not available for the XC60 from 2014? I don’t really look through on the Volvo page, would be great if someone can help me.. Also Volvo on Call is not available.. or is it HW Technically available just not released Lett?.. Then I have another question, is it possible to play video files via the Navi display? does an activation also have to happen or can you somehow achieve that? It would be nice if you could use these things somehow.. possibly upgrade a small hardware update or something? Thanks for the help

Dear parishes, a question about my wife’s V60… If you go away, the car will lock all the doors and the trunk. After you have stopped and the driver’s door opens, it will be locked in the same train (na Nau na ned). All other doors (including trunk) will remain locked. Only after active locking by remote control, the trunk or even another door (which has not been opened from the inside) can be opened. That is absolutely annoying,… you get out, go to the rear, trying to sigh, looking for the key again,…. The friendly elk master said that it would not be possible to program the process. Perfect would be (as with my BMW or Mercedes or VW also)… to lock the doors at departure, a door will be opened from the inside, should all doors be unlocked. Is there the possibility to make this adjustment? LG DeP

Hello! I’m just about to buy the D4 181PS version and would like to ask if there are problems with the free burning (especially in the city) and how to recognize the free burning (if any). Thank you!

The days after the unexpected engine damage I used to balance the time with the Volvo. I like to risk the car, the utility value was high and the satisfaction also. Penibel maintained I expected with everything, only not with an engine damage. The cause is unknown to me and the workshop, I also did not have to research for expensive money. What should come out with the damage picture oil in the cooling water / water in the oil, besides the realization that the repair expensive and difficult The balance after 50 months and approx. 110,000 km is actually anything but good. Only the repairs (so no maintenance, wear and tear etc.) added up to 3,400 euros, the engine damage at the end brought an additional value loss of some tsd. Euro. Even if I bought the V70 used with 110,000 km, I cannot accept this balance. Unfortunately it is also the case that other drivers of this series also have various defects – so my car is not an individual case. The engine problems with the 205 hp D5 are another chapter, which I am not really pleased with. Whether the new engines with 2litres/4 cylinders are better, more durable still has to be shown. The V70 was also driven for so long, because the purchase of a V90 was planned. However, with the presentation of the V90 it was quickly clear that the car is nothing for me. With the new strategy, Volvo has also explicitly formulated that only a few old customers will go. So be it. I log off as a V70 driver, I just bought an E-Class station wagon. The test drive was very convincing anyway, let’s see if there are fewer defects there. The next 2 years I have guarantee in the context of the so-called young stars, after that I see further. You continue to have fun and as few defects as possible with the Volvos, I look lying We still have two Volvos. It should stay that way. Greeting hail damage

Hello together, after thinking for weeks about which XC70 I should buy needed… D4/D5, four/five cylinders, momentum/summum, … the question came to me today… should I rather strike now, since it is no longer built, or rather wait, because people will buy something new? Although I don’t know what the corresponding successor should be, because the XC90 is a completely different caliber?! I am definitely looking for a newer, max. 30,000km, BJ2013 and younger… Thank you and have a nice Sunday! Oliver

Hello Volvo-Insider, after the complete 70s series has run out I wonder: a) who/what is/will the successor? 90s-series won’t be, will it? b) who/what will be built in the Swedish Volvo-works? Do I have a knowledge gap in this, do I have something “sleep”?
