Hello and good evening, I would like to help a friend who has a defective Ford Mondeo 180 km away from our home town, who needs to be picked up for repair. The vehicle weighs empty 1250 kg, the trailer weighs 700 kg. This means that the trailer load would be exceeded on the way back 150 kg, since the XC 60 only 1800 kg braked trailer load are allowed. The distance is relatively flat (Hannover to Soest) The dice have not fallen yet, if I help there kan n, apart from the fine (30€), what technical problems do you see there? Also via PM. PLEASE not a moral discussion! Thank you for your help

Dear Volvo friends, my XC70 is now six years old and has reached 100,000 km. Until now, the vehicle has been serviced once a year by Volvo. The mileage is currently about 20,000 km per year. If I see it correctly, it is no longer possible to expect Volvo’s flimsyness in the event of major damage (e.g. on the engine, on the automatic transmission, on control units) for my vehicle. Thus, my workshop for the control unit of the radar module me In the last year Volvo Germany answered negatively and I was allowed to pay a good 1300 euros myself. I now want to change the maintenance intervals as follows: The vehicle should be maintained every 30,000 km at Volvo in the future. This means that the Volvo inspections would then be carried out every 18 months. The Volvo mobility guarantee would then be omitted. Instead, I have a protective letter of my car insurance. In addition, I would then myself every 15,000 km an oil This would give the vehicle all 15Tkm of new engine oil, which is certainly not harmful, because I have the intention to drive the car for a long time. What do you think of this idea? Greetings from Mittelhessen!

Hi …have the following problem with my Volvo S80 T6 : If you connect the battery (is new ) and I open the door, I have a ticker in the interior (as with unmounted belts ) on the other hand if you place the key on position 2 ( ignition ) additionally flicker the light / floor light and the side lights. In the speedometer only the indicator for errors lights, otherwise the speedometer is without function no further indicators for kilometers,light machine, brake etc. If you try to n Engine to start it starts briefly ( ca. 3-4 sec. ) afterwards it goes off again. Whatever happens after you have switched on the ignition. goes the radio but the display is still blind …After ca. 10-20 sec. is the display you can now also search for transmitters the climate can be changed from Automatic to manually and the blower goes at once…as well the seats can now also be adjusted electrically….If you try to start a second time it runs a little longer but goes there despite The car. was read out at Volvo, supposedly the ECU…had talked to two companies today to repair the ECUs…both were of the opinion it could not be. Maybe someone knows advice or knows the mistake…about your help I would be pleased… Greeting and thank Hans-Joachim

How much does the Volvo Service (inspection) cost for an XC 60 D4 2016?

Hello, when looking for a new car up to approx. 17000 Euro. I also had the idea to deal with Volvo this morning. I’ve never had a Volvo before, but I’ve often heard of the high quality before. Is that still so, that the cars are very robust? I would like to have a V60 station wagon. It should fall from the range of space into the class A4 Avant or BMW 3’er Touring, right? As a little driver with 13-15,000km a year I would still like a motor recommendation uen. Automatic is important to me, like ACC and good seats (I am quite large), as well as a decent music system. Which equipment makes sense? Thanks for the answers!

Moinsen dear moose friend, I have a few problems and hope someone has a tip. The car still has a warranty about AutoHero and so I send you the email traffic. ………….. Moinsen, Since yesterday the vehicle goes into the gearbox emergency run. According to service booklet has never changed the transmission oil although this should take place at least 3 times! There is now urgently a transmission flushing advised to see if there is more or if it was just muddying. The vehicle is t is not ready to drive and should be fixed as this daily is needed. May I enter the Bosch service in. Ask for a quick answer. Best regards 2. The error message of gearbox and DSC is reset when the vehicle is switched off. Therefore, only the MKL can be seen. 3. My wife pointed out that we in November (17.11.2022) because of a defective battery which caused the belt of the alternator to tear, already the 4. Moinsen, As discussed on the phone yesterday, I will send you the report of my workshop. However, this said that the Volvo should therefore be the specialist who will repair something like this. This appointment is only on 5.7. the vehicle is conditionally ready to drive and can be used for short distances. Hope that it is not so bad. Tell me again as soon as I know something new. ……….. So that’s it hope for a fast start. ll answer. Greetings

Moin moin, I would be interested to know if the D5 engines can handle oil other than the required A5/B5 0W30 ? Unfortunately I did not find any sound answers to my question above. I am primarily concerned with the price of the oil, as well as I am not a “fan” of water oils myself. Do not drive cars with a lower viscosity than 5W40. Since the D5 of my parents is moved relatively comfortably, he has of course also this entry in the oil. With me he gets also sometimes “on d he eats” and the Vmax is regularly explored with 240 times. And after that he takes 0.5L oil or something more which is not further tragic. However, I have the fear that oil will get too hot in my orgies, and thus possibly burns with it. Is there a possibility to “oil” the engine for example on a good 0W40 or a 5W40 ? I thank you right heartily to Allen for their answers.

If you’re surprised, like me, that you can’t send any more navigation targets to your Volvo at HERE WeGo, here’s the official statement from HERE: “By the end of 2019, Volvo Cars decided to stop using the “Send to car” feature from websites. One of the reasons was that the use of the feature was quite low. ‘Send To Car’ is currently also offered via the Volvo On Call mobile app and call center.” and found it very practical.

Hello guys, is there somehow the possibility to change the keypad from the car key? The one key with my new “used” V70-III “3.5 years” is already very spangled and disconnected. Now I did not want to buy a new keypad but only renew the keypad, the V70-II has got spare parts for it. I hope you can help me.
