Hello dear forum, I have a Volvo XC60 four wheel and automatic, first registration 2013, mileage close to 415,000 Now to my problem: it was already twice the case that I went shopping, out of the store car can not lock up – does not react, so the small key is taken out of the pusher so I get the driver door open, all other doors can only be opened from the inside, trunk closed, not a single indicator lights, neither mileage, clock line t…after 1.5 hours, the car started normally as if nothing had been done…except that the time was gone…Battery isn’t 1. Only a year old, 2. he doesn’t even try to start. Of course right to the workshop (not Volvo) he sees everything, found nothing…. Did anyone ever find that? But of course, soon he will drive to the Volvo workshop again…

Hello, with our XC60 BJ 2009, the heater is now running at some point after a short or longer drive and not only when it was programmed for the morning. Yesterday nothing was programmed and we drove about 50 km. When we got out, it smelled very much like exhaust gas and you heard the heater run clearly outside and in the vehicle an “electronic” fiepen. The Fiepen then stopped and also the heater turned off. The same showed up on the Back home (again about 50 km). About 14 days ago he showed this behavior for the first time, but unfortunately our workshop could not understand this behavior, because there did not occur. Does anyone know this behavior? Greetings Merlin

Why is the car liability and comprehensive insurance for a V70_3 so much more expensive than for a V70_1? For my V70_1, EZ 06_1997, gasoline, 125 kW, I had to pay slightly rising over the years 1990 to 2017 approx. 210 to 260 € for HV, VKV, TKV. BUT: For my V70_3, EZ 6_2008 Diesel, 136 kW, the same company calculates for the same range of services HV, VKV, TKV a premium of 610 €. How is this difference justified? An insurance comparison at Verivox shows, that my Vers.Gesellschaft belongs to the most favorable. Other insurers are even more expensive. If V70_3 owners are more frequent accident causers, are V70_3 stolen more often, are diesel generally rated higher, is the V70_3 classified as expensive exotic model, or what are the transparent reasons? That a pensioner malus would be calculated to me, denies my Vers.Gesellschaft.

Moin, I drive an XC60 MY2017. I would like to update the Navi cards and have prepared my USB 3.1 SSD external hard drive with the corresponding update (Volvo page, download tool, then checked –> all good). Since it is a 128gb SSD, I have created a partition with Fat32 and 32gb. So far so good, unfortunately nothing happens in the xc60 when I connect the hard drive to the USB port in the middle arm console. If I understand it correctly, the Au I did all this while driving (of course I plugged the hard drive before going off!). I’m now just assuming that the SSD with the external housing or maybe even usb 3.1 is the problem? I don’t have suitable USB sticks (>16gb) because I’ve been driving well with the external hard drives so far. I want to buy a suitable stick now for the updates and not try around for long: which one do you use? I hope that usb 3 here does not cause any problems, otherwise the 20gb update will take quite a long time….

Hello and good day. I have problems with the automatic transmission. During the ride it switches completely normal. Only if I put the lever from parking on R or D, the corresponding gear is inserted with a sometimes weak times stronger jerk. Volvo means transmission flushing and synchronizations from the transmission. Price 850 €. Has someone ever had the same problem? I am afraid that it is not solved after this investment.

Hello dear friends, my name is Maximilian, I am 22 and I come from the Mercedes E-Class 211 forum to you. Now I would consider a Volvo V60 as the successor for my Benz, the used car prices are in my opinion quite bearable, also I think that you get a high quality vehicle, although the V60 is a class below the E-Class. But the V70 is design too “traditional” to me… It should be a diesel, possibly with 2 liters displacement u nd 163 hp. My question: Because I’ve heard more often that the Volvo engines are much more robust than the engines that come from Ford, how can I determine which unit is installed in which engine? Can any of you tell me about it? The stability is very important to me, since for me only vehicles with a mileage of over 150,000 are eligible. As an automatic fan I would also like to know how stable the Geartronic is or whether you can be the driver. I hope for some information and thank you now! LG Maximilian

Hello, My S60 now has almost 5 years on the hump and 89,000 km. It had to be replaced 1 times in front and 2 times in the back brake. I drive mostly highway and little city. Does anyone have any idea why the brakes wear faster in the back? Car usually stands in garage, so at home and in the shop. I drive rather forward looking and rather let by switching engine brake. Maybe you have an idea? Thank you

Hello to all sensitive people, A V60 or an XC60 in medium diesel engineization it should become. Suspension comfort is very important and so we ask ourselves the question, what more comfortable=softer drives: the comfort suspension or the 4C chassis in comfort mode? Maximum tyre cross-section is natural. Meaningful dealer information or comparative test possibility unfortunately does not exist. Best greetings The Swedes King – dzt. Saab, formerly Citroën

Would you strike or rather wait? I am looking forward to your answer, am curious!

Hello everyone…. I have a question about a noise that can be heard for about 4 weeks. V70 III 2014 D5 215 hp automatic 134tkm down I bought the car with 94000 20 months ago…there was not yet the buzz. The noise is speed-dependent and very strong to hear at about 1300 revolutions. When I set to N during the ride and the speed is increased it is also to hear. Tempomat at 55 kmh and I hear it permanently. I was my Volvo dealer and he said it might be d the timing belt or the alternator. The timing belt is only due at 180 tkm. Is there anyone here who is familiar with all this ? What would you do in my place ? Thank you already Thomas
