Hello together, my old man would like to exchange his current S60 D5 for a new one and was therefore because of an offer today with his trust. He pointed out that the S60 after the information available there by Volvo can only be ordered until August and is then stopped. Rumors there were times, but is this now a duck, a poorly informed or who has ever heard similar ? Many greetings Marco

Hello, I’m currently driving a Volvo V40 and considering replacing it next year for one of the then maybe last XC90 in the current design. I’m not in danger yet, because I’m only at the beginning of the search for alternatives, but acquaintances of mine have now ordered the second or third one, which shows me that they are satisfied. I have now started to configure and compare the car. I like the R-design, but on our rides with children would be good. The cooling compartment in the middle armrest is interesting, which would result in the executive variant. How big is that and is it really cooled or is it rather too small to be called a cooling compartment? Two 0.3l cans or 0.5l bottles should fit in. However, I don’t like the wood with the executive. I find the aluminium much more beautiful. On the Volvo website you can’t choose the decorative strips inside. I have to change this at the dealer or do what I can I’ve seen a photo showing the parking aid in the back with a camera via the navigator. I can’t find it anywhere in the selection. I’d like to do without the navigator, because it’s quite expensive and probably not the best. Can the display be more than just navigated? At BMW, there’s a lot more to it than just navigation. What equipment should I not do without? Does the sports exhaust sound better from the R-design? If I don’t have the R-Design would not take, I would think about a plant of Heico. Actually, these are all questions to the dealer, but I would like to have realistic assessments and a quite concrete picture before I go to the dealer. I would be very grateful if I could get some “first hand” experiences. Thanks and nice day!

Hello all, I have a flawed heater. I then had the error memory read out by Volvo. The error message “Flam sensor defect”. Now I have upgraded the SH. Maybe one can help me which part I have to replace? Maybe a picture? Thanks.

Well, after I had the software for the preheater installed last week and I wanted to try the heater in the last few days, it didn’t run… Today I went to another Volvo dealer, who looked at it. Fact is: the software is installed, the preheater is not ( I have a French XC90 ) Now the Volvo dealer tells me: Preheater with installation costs with it EUR 2200…. Ziemlic proud price as I find…. I will be in winter I’m gonna have to scratch.

Moin, since my current electric Valve Care system has said goodbye, I would like to have something new. That’s why I was here at an LPG workshop nearby today and where I was recommended and offered the JLM Valve Saverkit. This is a simple system with vacuum, where each cylinder is supplied individually. In addition, there is a lamp in the interior that lights up at a low level. Costs for the material for my 5 cylinder are almost 100€ What do you think about it? Couldn’t you install the system yourself? If so, where exactly would the nozzles be attached to the individual cylinders? Greeting Sven

.. since we are looking for a V70 II, I am now on this here:http://www.autoscout24.de/Details.aspx?… new TÜV and 1-2 hundred can still be negotiated out (which can then be taken for the repair of the rear bumper ). Would I like to look at it tomorrow, what is to be paid for? Since the 1st owner has given the car for a new star in payment, but soon the 160 ́km inspection with ZR is on, I probably have to plan a 1000er directly, right? The problem with the oil thinning is also with this Bj.? Exploding handbrake had after all all MODell or was it from a certain Bj. from Volvo turned off? Actually we did not want a diesel anymore, because we have such a trouble with our Passat 3C ( OK; can not be compared directly, but the modern diesel machines are all full of technology meanwhile – DPF, ZMS, etc…). We would also have a 2.4 petroler converted to LPG, however they are quite rare especially the last Baujah re, either there are fewer cars in relation to the diesel or the owners are so satisfied that they don’t leave the cars… and the diesels are usually better equipped The petrol without a turbo is also a continuous runner and with LPG even under the diesel costs to operate.

Moin. And I have the following problem: When I start the car, I hear a rhythmic zirping ( zirrp….zirrrp….zirrrp ) that comes from the area of the wedge belt. When giving gas, the noise is gone. I then sprayed some Wd40 on the belt and it didn’t bring any change. So belts are in order. The belt runs without vibrations, so the LiMa freewheel would have to be ok. So it’s up to some kind of role. With screwdriver on the ear it is probably not a good idea. 😀 Any tips/ideas or clear diagnosis which role is most likely? SuFu I have long tried. Vehicle: Volvo s60 2.4 diesel, 163hp, year 2001, 203.000km run, since 1 month in my possession, timing belts was changed/changed by the previous owner. Engine bearing in order. servoöl i. Ordnung. When steering no difference. Greeting Maik

Hi, after almost endless, only by continuous reading here in the forum shortened waiting time (approx. 2 months), my magic blue thickness is finally there. The combination magic blue, tinted disks and nestnut brown/anthrazit I like great. Meanwhile we have about 500km behind us and I am very happy. When cruising with 160-180km on the highway it runs very quiet. I also like the color combination. The seats are shorter than the 11.2003 Premium XC90, but the upholstery The wooden steering wheel and the rest of the wood harmonize very well with the Chestnut-brown leather and the magic blue looks out with the chrome applications m. E. noble. I also like the Nereus fields live very well. All in all I am very satisfied (goes with Badener and Schwaben towards “fantastisch”. Below a few, unfortunately with strong clouding. ene, photos. Greetings Langer02 …who has tried the 7 seats once, to the enthusiasm of his children and their friends

So people last night was the time, the baby was born and delivered:http://www.motor-talk.de/t1280112/f172/s/thread.html Now is probably Ezu nde with Azubi moose drivers. Must say, the part is a lot of fun, the new Volvo phone seems to me to be very much improved and suitable, contrary to all the statements here. Be sure to roll all the operating instructions and then competently drive the moose. All those who helped me with advice and clues have thank you very much. The AHK is now a Westf alia. The phone remained the Volvo, have two SIM cards anyway. Alarm system, BLIS, corner light, everything in it and seems to work. The snow chains are from Volvo, the control is standing straight. The sound is good. So first everything is green and nice. Only the iPOD has to be connected. I need some tips. I want it to be connected at least via Aux and charged, but no cable lying around. Who has what?

After my experience with the multitronic from Audi (catastrophal!, sh. there forums) after 15 years of Audi ldgl. with the manufacturer but did not complete with the topic automatic, I now intend to install an xc70 (new, diesel 185 hp) correctly with Geartronic. Now my question. What are the experiences with the automatic?
