Hello everyone! I drive a Volvo XC70 D5, Heico Tuning 140kw (actually 120kw), built on Feb. 2004, 5-GearTronic. The following: In the case of the previous insp. (20.000km, 40,000km, 60,000km, 80,000km) only oil of the quali. A4/B4 5w-40 has been filled in. The 100,000 km insp. was carried out, because of the change of residence, at another friendly. This other friendly has at the 100,000 km insp. (according to invoice) a Castrol Magnatec Prof. A1/B1 5W-30 light running oil filled. Wa But now I’m so surprised: In the Bertieb manual of the vehicle, however, it says, quite clearly, that an oil of the quality of B4 is “prescribed” for the diesel. Unfortunately, I only noticed it too late (now standing just before the 120,000 km insp.), when I recently sorted the invoices. The shock was great. How can this happen to the mechanic/mechatronician, because to fill in the wrong oil? He should actually see that this is one of Volvo’s I have heard that there are supposedly more light running oils of the Quali. A1/B1 are used. Do I now, by the wrong oil, have a problem with the engine? Or am I now completely mistaken in this case and the friendly has acted correctly? Greetings. Dickerhase

Hello, have installed an alarm system at my S60 factory. Unfortunately I miss the “VOLVO GUARD” warning stickers on the front side windows. Aren’t these stickers series with an installed alarm system? Can of course also be that my previous owner removed them. Does anyone happen to know if I can get these stickers individually? Bzw. has someone for me a part number? I uploaded a picture of this sticker. Thank you already! LG, Nordisk.

Hi guys, I’ve been looking for a Volvo S60 for a long time. I have now 2 on my tighter list and have therefore started to decide based on the necessary changes. I’ve read of many problems if I want to upgrade to MP3. I actually had the idea to build a multifunction double Din Radio. With hands-free device, Navi, MP3 capable DVD player with USB port and of course radio. As most technical subtleties probably connected to the radio My favorite has: – HU 803 with 4x CD changer – Navi – hands-free device built everything from Volvo. Now I have read after a little google of the Dension Gateway 500. The part can connect Ipod, USB Stick, Aux and a lot more and the control of the MP3s is possible via the radio. Display of the ID3Tags on the display is probably also included. However, I have read that it depends on the model of my vehicle and the radio. It must force And be a radio with 4x CD changer, he has yes. Also mentioned is always from BJ 2004. The car is EZ 06/2004, but I can not say if the BJ04 is also so. Do you have an idea too? The other car has just a HU 603 in it, that I could exchange without thinking about a double Din. Unfortunately the interior color with beige is rather unbeautiful and the fittings look more cheap than elegant Please help me a little with the decision Thank you

Hello! Recently I have an S 60 and I am disturbed by the view to the rear, which I should improve with a RüFa camera. The camera should be integrated into the license plate holder and the image should be displayed on an RTI screen. The car has no navigator, therefore the monitor has to be retrofitted. Question: can I use the monitor without navigation at all? I searched for days in the forum and am still not smarter… There are apparently adapters that can be connected to the picture screen. rm can connect and then feed a stink normal video signal via cinch cable. So far so good, but: I read that the monitor does not go out on its own, but needs a command from the Navi (which I don’t have) and that the monitor has to be logged in in the (BUS?) system (from the friendly one). Evtl is also planned an ipod coupling, but first of all it is important that the RÜFA camera! I don’t get smart from the many threads… Greetings Hannes

After my car is now 17 months old, running almost 32TKM, yesterday for the first time the key memory worked. After my wife had parked the XC90 the night before with your key, I came to my car the next morning and opened the driver’s door. To my horror, the seat moved completely automatically into my preferred position. Can I now change or have to live with it? Let’s see if it always works now or it was just a bug. Greetings Martin With whose XC70 that always worked.

Hi fangemeinde, I know it’s a comparison that takes place on different levels but it’s just because it’s interesting. My X90 has almost everything the price list says except phone, 18-inch rims and electric seats. The Focus is a tournament also with approximate VA except leather, Navi, automatic and electric sitting. Driving behaviour and motors should stay out of here. It’s especially about totally simple things, the world company VOLVO also in their “premium vehicles” a I’m going home with my son as a passenger. During the ride I ask the junior if he can open the glove compartment because of a few papers to look at. He opened and said: “Look here it’s cold!” First pondering in my head……….. Having arrived at home, I play around something with the chic remote control and wanted to know if the semi-euron-costing focus was something that I could not get baked. second shock, he has! With the FB you can close the sliding roof, as well as all windows and open them, from the outside and without the plugged ignition key. Now I seriously plan to ask at the currently taking place AMI in Leipzig a Oberfuzzi of VOLVO why a few in the small car class usual equipment features in Gothenburg want to be unknown!!! I had done this already with regard to the trailer load of the XC90 and already anticipate the exit me in the initiative. Maybe there is a VOLVO-responsible who brings the courage here something to write!? good drive söm-xc90

Hello together, still relatively undecided what I want to drive in the future, I also think about a used S 60 Diesel. I would like to have an automatic, air conditioning automatic and comfortable, tight seats, because I have approx. 200 km of working distance every day. Are there special problems with higher running performance? What do I have to pay attention to when buying? Are there recommendations for the equipment? Thank you in advance and greeting!

Hello, this morning had a nice message in my mailbox. The company NetUno had written to me that the gateway 500 is finally available for Volvo. I need the part for my XC90. I ordered it immediately and wait now impatiently that I can finally hold the “thing” in my hands and install it. I will come to the installation next week and report about this of course. Here the link: http://www.netuno.de/product_info.php/products_id/343 I follow the Topics here for a long time , especially with regard to the connection of an Ipod ́s in my XC90 . An idea of me of course with photos of my moose I will take on the WE , if time permits . Already so much to the XC90: 2005er D5 summum , switch , black , Heico performance increase , Parkpilot , Subwoofer , original . Phone , dark disks behind , and soon with Gateway 500 , *grins * I hope I could give you a useful information . Klexx

Liebe Elchgemeinde Have a little Christmas puzzle here: My V70II D5 Bj 04 got the 160 ́ wellness pack about 3 months ago. (dental belt plus water pump) Since then all 3- 4000 km the message comes little cooling liquid etc. If I then carefully turn the cover of the balance tank then hiss air, the cooling water level rises and everything is fine again. I had the same game now 4 times and always is good after venting again without something to fill up?! always builds up an overpressure… Does anyone know it? Thank you for every explanation!

Hello SUV friends, now that my first XC90 (in the car dealership) has been stolen from me, hopefully the new one will stand in front of my door in January. I used to drive V70 with dog grids for my 4 year old friend Leon ( Golden Red Rever ). He loves Volvo driving at least the same way as I do. Well, after my decision to drive the slightly different kind of Volvo I have concerns because the XC90 is quite high. The loading edge is not particularly suitable for my beloved Four-legged. But I just couldn’t stand again…. Has experiences with dogs and XC90 here from the lovely community. No, seriously, I’m really worried. I’ve already thought about a ramp….
