Hello together, after a few weeks of rest, it will probably start again. Today I had to find with astonishment that my S80 is lower on the left than on the right. I noticed this when I was refueling, when I wandered around my car during the process. The car stood on flat ground, and I just got 2 fingers between the rear wheel and the tire. On the right side, however, I could get twice as many fingers in between. What does that mean again? Are about the shock absorbers down? (he does not spring after!!!) So slowly I really have the faxes thick with this thing. No month without any sch…. that you have to invest. Honestly, with a mileage of just 86,500 km you can not have to change the shock absorbers also – or????? I had the support joints, crossbars, coupling bars & track rods renewed just 5 weeks ago, which was really not cheap. And now the Odyssey should be relawed again? I am k I have to say that I am really disappointed by this premium brand. 2 years ago, bought at 52,200 km on the clock. Today, with 86,500 km and investments in the amount of approx. 8000 EUR. you can certainly talk about a handle in the toilet. I don’t do that for a long time anymore… but I still ask for your possible experiences regarding vehicles with a flip page. Thank you for your time. Greeting ALEX

Hello. I sold my 2002 S80 D5 last October. Somehow I lack the long-distance comfort and therefore look again for nem s80. I found this car now, what do you think about it, especially to the 170hp engine for consumption and stability? Can you compare the driving performance with the D5(163hp) about? It does not have the torque, but otherwise the values should be the same, right?Volvo S80 2.4 Black Edition How much KG may the 170hp S80 be born is there anything else to consider?

Hello MT-Gemeinde, since early 2009 unfortunately Volvo has raised the prices for the stand heating activation. Is Holland still the cheapest? The dealer in Venlo wants meanwhile instead of earlier quote: Stand heating free costs € 199,- incl. multi-reinforcement tax Or is this cheaper somewhere else? Thanks and greeting, the scrapped

Hello to all here, Also I have had for about 1 month the message “motor maintenance required”. Only in contrast to the whole cases described here I have no remarkable power loss. However Rust mine now stronger than before, if one accelerates out of low speeds (kick-down) And it whistles from time to time when one gives full throttle. As if one draws air through sharpened lips. My shady picture it looks so that the message appears in the following cases. The speed changes, that is, after longer rides at low speed and then kick-down. For high speed rides on the motorway 180 + For abrupt braking manoeuvres For cruises with cruise control, but always only after switching off the cruise control when again fully accelerated after braking. I have already asked some and everyone says something different, but all come somewhere central to a point somewhere a very small amount of false air comes into the system. give advice where I should start looking for causes and what the bad part could be I drive a V70 built in 2003; EZ 2004 2.5D KeyNo. 9101, 85301L 3 Thanks in advance

A nice good evening 🙂 I recently separated from my A6 allroad, Mod. 2002, (and I will not end up with Audi again so quickly). After a long search what should be my next car now, I ended up with the Swedes, I “smacked” myself in Saab and Volvo. I got stuck with two models: a Saab 9-3, 2.2 Tid, Bj 2003 with 82,000 KM, stepback. And a Volvo S60, D5, Bj 2007 (!) with 84,000 KM. Both have no significant extras, are abe The Saab is exactly 2,000 euros cheaper than the Volvo. I don’t have a Saab or a Volvo driver in my circle of acquaintances. I am on the forum, as well as trying to make the whole network smart … but I don’t come to a clear decision. Therefore I turn to you and hope for some additional thoughts or opinions on durability, quality, etc. … I could myself with both On the one hand, living well is a comfortable driver, sometimes I also like to “heat” a bit (if needed…). The car would be the second car, so to speak, for proper luggage compartment we have a van. I am interested in less ideological aspects 🙂 … but rather practical. I am aware of the different motorizations, the D5 should be a cream engine … but for the Saab speaks the cheaper price. On the other hand, I hear and read the opposite opinions about Saab, about Volvo, especially S60, one actually hears and reads positive opinions throughout. Of course then it will be an emotional decision and it lies only with me … and sorry, if I am stupid with this question instead … would be very grateful for some sincere tips or just a few opinions or own experiences very much!! Possible details of course also about PN. Another thing: I know, this question is often confronted with this forum, you also should not give me THE answer but simply deliver your previous experiences or opinions about problems or advantages to motor, quality, appearance, joy in driving. thank you and best regards from South Tyrol :-)) PS: I should probably post the same topic in the Saab Forum too? *grübel* 😉

I have a problem. 2 times was “glued” already; first after 6000 km, now after 4000 km it nibbles again. The friendly wants to stick in again – I actually don’t, because the game of the fit is too big / defective. But I am not a car driver. Who besides pity still has tips on the problem – as said, already 2 times glued in, which should actually hold tens of thousands – according to Volvo. PS: Car is 3 years old, 30,000 driven, 140hp petrol

Hi there. Just come from my friend. He has a brand new original Volvo remote control installed in my elk and I’m thrilled. Advantages: The part was presented in the Volvo magazine LIV 3/2006 on p.62 and is now finally available. Overall it cost net with installation 575,-EUR. For someone like me who doesn’t have fixed departure times in the morning, surely a worthwhile investment. Now it just needs to get cold… Greet Tom

Hello everyone, today I have replaced my now almost 15 years old 850 Kombi with an XC 90 D5 summum. Is a half-year car with 16,000km from 09/2008. On Wednesday I get it. I can’t wait. Then follow also pictures. The seller has told me something about an increase in performance of Heico Sport on – I think – 215 hp for 1600€. Does any of you have experience regarding reliability consumption??? The dealer said he would use the tuning weni can it really be without it going on the shelf life? Can anyone recommend the increase in performance or are there people here who even advise against it? I am very grateful for any experience reports. Many greetings and a nice long weekend

hi,bin new here. have used us 15 months ago a Volvo XC70 (built in 2003) at the dealer,and gave our most beautiful V70 in payment.Tja,probably the worst mistake.I don’t know.First a front spring had broken,then Xenon lamp broken,motor suspension torn,then alternator,back flap no longer went by itself high-new dampers,charge air cooler defective and different hoses replace. TODAY I want to go,ad “NO ÖLDRUCK,BITTE MOTOR Turn it off again, battery jammed off, hm, didn’t go first, then turn it on again, now it went again.Did anyone ever have this problem? Do you have such problems with your XC70 (built in 2003)? I don’t know any more.Can’t just work for the car, it’s also for driving and not just to put it in the workshop.

Hi Leuts, the nice weather seems to have its pitfalls. Or my moose didn’t get enough run out in the last 2 days… While I just changed its hooves, I noticed when I was shunting, that what was wrong with the gas/empty run. Therefore (and because of air pressure testing on the new tires) I am then to the tank. I experienced adventure: first of all the idle speed remained despite warm engine at about 1500 revolutions. Gas he took after three commemoration seconds only resisted This was even so wild that during a gear change during an acceleration process the memory seconds became overexplained. The whole thing is independent of the speed. So I did a longer exit to see if something changes. Unfortunately not! Now I have to go to the workshop on Tuesday. Let’s see what they say. The air conditioning didn’t work either. After I was back, I interviewed my wife, because she was fetching rolls yesterday and today. Yesterday everything was fine, today she also had the problems. Do you have any idea what it could be???? Greeting Markus
