Hello My V 60 D3 stopped this morning. I came down from the parking lot and stopped at the intersection. Was refueling at JET, ….winter diesel ….freeze safe … because. Did cost me 141 Euro in the workshop. There the friendly one told me to address, Volvo expressly says no flow improver to the diesel. Since someone might have heard about it. Thank you

At some point I change my XC70/2010 (135’000km) against one with less km. If I look at the technical data on autoscout, it is noticeable: With the 205 hp engine 215 km/h Vmax are listed, (which is also my experience) with the 215 hp engine only 205 km/h. I only need the speed sometimes (far more important to me is the torque of the D5), but in the summer half year in good weather morning at five on empty highways – I already run the thing. nn this data? If yes, I wonder: Are the newer ones simply more regulated? (What can probably be improved with a chip tuning.) Or the stupid variant would be yes: the newer ones are shorter translated? Thank you very much for every kind of “response”.

Hello forum, happy new year, I have planned for this year to replace my V70 from 2004 with an XC60. Unfortunately I am not so of the technology Freak, but I have heard from the dealer that there are now almost only 4 cylinder engines. But for reasons of smooth running I would like a 5 cylinder diesel and for cost reasons a used one. Up to which model year were 5Cyl. Diesel installed? If I look at mobile or so, I often see 120kW D3 from e.g. 2012. Is the comparable with my previous petrol engine, also 120kW? Need the car as a everyday and touring vehicle. As a towing vehicle, Volvo is unfortunately out of the question. Greeting Thomas

I want to download the current update about 18GB. If then everything is on the stick and is in the car it seems to be a “self-runner” according to the description. How long does the installation take in the car? And what happens if the journey is interrupted?

My V70_3, EZ 2008, Diesel has EU4 and driving ban in Stuttgart. The selling price here is so bad that I came up with the idea – perhaps boldly – to bring it in self-export and sales to South (East) Europe. Simplified presentation: Restful to the south, sell to serious buyers, holidays in the country, home flight. I realize that there are some risks in such a project. Therefore my questions to the forum participants: 1. Who has experience with countries like ES, PT, IT, GR, RO? Who has already carried out an own export? With what experience? 2. What are the legal rules? Is one involved in them as an unneeded foreigner? 3. Is there any demand for V70_3 at all, what is the level of sales prices?

Hello, after the purchase of an old V90 failed, I will certainly need a new used everyday car in the near future and my heart always beats for Volvo, I have come to the V70III. I currently drive around 15000km at 10km working distance and pull off from time to time a caravan. My price limit is actually 20t€, better would be 15t€ if you buy such a vehicle without warranty. I have already read the purchase advice, se Your interesting and sea long. My questions are actually, which engine should you prefer? Is the AWD durable? Which year of construction should you avoid? Thank you for your tips! Greeting Andreas

Hi! I opened the lid of the battery compartment and found the following (see attached photo). What happened there? Is the battery overcooked? Is there something spilled over during the installation or was the battery filled up and it is something spilled over? Had this time with my old BMW and could not make a rhyme on it. What should be done? Thank you for the help in advance! Michek P. S.: Background: With me the start/stop automatic does not work any more. In BC is considered Then this morning I got an indication that something with the battery was wrong. So I checked in the logbook and found out that the expansion of the large battery is described in detail.

On my V70_3, EZ 4_2008, a detachable trailer coupling (AHK) is attached. In the 13-pin electrical box or elsewhere in the wiring there is a defect. Pol 1 for turn signals on the left has no voltage. I worked on the poles with a file and contact spray, no change. The other poles, at least the poles relevant for an old trailer are i.e. the cables in the wire harness to the El.Dose are marked with numbers. Cable 1, which is responsible for the pole 1 for turn signals on the left I don’t see. (In many retrofitted AHK wire harnesses, the cables have different colors by default.) The wire harness on the El.Dose is poured into the plug housing. Is the cast material scraping out without destroying parts? I have tried to find the wire harness on its way forward, in the hollow of the spare wheel and on the fuse box in the D-pillar, at first without success. Does anyone have similar experiences so that I can shorten the troubleshooting with tips? is there more frequent cable breakage or contact interruption in AHK electrics?

Hello together, there is already a similar contribution here, but I would need some specific expertise on the situation. We think about taking over a V60 1.6 liter diesel 115PS BJ 2012 from the circle of friends. Basically everything was ok, but my last vehicle was a Ford Focus MK II 1.6 TDCI with 109PS and this additive particle filter. Unfortunately, it had no good experiences, which was due to my lack of knowledge and even less knowledge from the Ford workshop. in a nice car, but then dead faster than I liked. (Turbo+ engine damage was possible at 140,000 da DPF) So to the actual question: Is this exactly the same PSA engine in the V60 D2 as in the Focus MKII? Do the particle filters differ? Thank you and greeting!

Hello, last week my moose with 48500 km got its annual inspection. One day later I had the moto control light with the “Check” symbol in the tacho, so back to the dealer. Mistakes read out and and it came from the AGR cooler was told to me. Reset and another attempt. Again one day later the same game. So called and asked what the “Fun” would cost. It would have to be replaced the cooler with hose package. 60% have been guaranteed. Have you experienced similar things and have the parts improved or do I have to expect a replacement in km X again?
