Hello forum, I have been reading with you for a while and with the idea to buy an XC90 again. Until about 2 years ago we had a 2.5T Bj. 2003 when this then occurred with approx. 100TKM again and again small and bigger various problems, we sold this. However, we still mourn the moose, because it is in itself a nice and practical SUV. Now Kind No. 3 is available (the other two are 3 and 4 years old) and we definitely need a large 5 Sit The choice is really small in this segment, from all the ugly typical family bombers (Touran, Caddy, Sharan, Zafira, Multivan, Vito). Used Mercedes R or GL are still available. Q7 X5 and ML are, in my opinion, too small (seat width). We would be interested in an XC90 D5 from year 2008 with automatic and semi-good equipment. What is your opinion, again Volvo XC or yet a Benz? I know this completely ve Different characters are, but we like them anyway. The newer XC90 should not be as vulnerable as those before Facelift models. How are your experiences. Thank you for your help and many greetings XC90MS

Hello to each other, I have removed the left headlight of my S60 from 2002 and would like to remove the headlight glass from the housing, as it is always fogged from the inside. I have removed the metal clips connecting the glass and housing, but the glass does not leave easily. I do not dare, however, because I fear that I will damage the glass. Has someone successfully and without damage the glass separated from the housing? Is this possible at all or si Is there a typical flaw in the humidity in the headlight? Neither the glass nor the housing are damaged. Greetings from Braunschweig Martin

Hello, I drive a Swedish Volvo V70.Bj 2006,163 hp 2,4D. I would like to turn off the daytime running light. This is connected to the dipped-beam automatic ! So far I am. In the manual it says that the workshop can do that. Can I do this myself ???? Thanks for the help

Moin moin, so for a change I have a little problem… Was for a while nothing more and now it became time again… At extremely warm temperatures from 27 degrees or when the car stood long in the sun etc., I have a dull blow from the engine room. As if you have a loose exhaust and with every small floor shaft the exhaust is hit. Strangely only after the repair it was bomb-proof again. It does not move and in the Kardan tunnel where the exhaust goes long is also n It is also not to be heard at speeds from 60km/h and strong waves of the ground. Much more in the slowly viscous traffic and even with mirror-smooth road (asphalt) a stick on the road is enough to shake the car and this beating is to be heard. So loud that it is already animally annoying. Does anyone know this perhaps??? I would also like to say that it comes from the middle of the car. Therefore, I close the direct suspension of the chassis (coupling rods). etc.). Is it perhaps the lower engine bearing??? Greetings pseudo R

Hello, I have a problem there. I had my V70 converted to gas. The PRINS system was equipped with a 67l tank (reserveradmulde). Now I have the following problems: 1. Already after 300km the diode display shows red. When I then refuel, 32l go in. 2. If I just drive the car further, it jumps with the well-known “IchbinleerPiepen” at 400km on petrol. When I refuel, then 40l go in. The tanks are only up to 80% can be filled. But 80% of 67l are 53,6l. The must Now I saw a 53l tank in his car at the gas station and asked him how big the tank is. And look, 67l. He told me something about a membrane that can be adjusted and then he wouldn’t switch so early. But sounded like a dangerous half-knowledge. I would need reliable numbers when he would normally switch to petrol and would be interesting as long as the green diode indicates. Greeting André

Hello people I play with the idea of replacing my v50 2.0d with a v70 with 163 diesel ps – after the test drive I especially liked the sound of the engine. in Ö there is an edition for the v70 with quite good equipment a few small details to add and the new baby bomber would be ready! a few questions about it: 1.) is it true that you can switch off the stand heating software moderately – and therefore you do not have to order factory 2.) is the v70 II a reliable car? 3.) what s 4.) how do the inspection costs behave and in which distances d inspection must be made 5.) I hope that the model runs out on good percentages – what can be expected when I bought my v50 the dealer also wanted to turn me on a v40 and the price was hot on something like that I hope also at the v70 thanks beebeard

Hello, as a long-time Audi customer I think about “going abroad” and buying an XC90. Is after all just nicer than the Q7. Is there any hint that Volvo will possibly bring a new model in the next time (1 year)? In addition it would be interesting to know if a stronger diesel is in planning. There is something spoiled with the brand with the four rings. I had already found a thread about it, but then got lost in fundamental discussions 🙂 D anke schonmal für alle Hinweis

Hello people, please ask for your advice. I have already searched the many heating/coating topics and also Elchwiki. However, the following problem arises with my S60: the vehicle already had the heating function when buying it. Nevertheless, at lower temperatures, it smokes violently from the engine room. Thanks to forum my suspicion was on the heater. The 🙂 the problem was described, today I got an estimate of almost Eur 240,- fue Now my questions: 1) if the heater is already “drin” or has been activated, why is there still the problem with the heater? 2) Who had/has the same problem – and above all: are Eur 240,- justified (for what?)? I find this amount very heavy for a problem known to Volvo. 3) do I correctly assume that there is only one solution, namely the deactivation of the heater? In other words, in order to avoid short distances. To get warm air in the morning, do I have to activate the timer of the Stanheizung every time? Thank you for your inputs.

Hello, since I was convinced by the test drive with the XC90, apart from the less great elasticity, I am thinking about whether I should accept the offer to the Volvo dealer. XC90 D5 Summum, AHK, DualXenon with cornering light and the rest about 95,000 km, EZ. 06/2006 1.Hand admitted to car dealership Summer + winter bikes 23.500 Euro What do you say as an experienced person? I take too high a risk with the available kilometers. Alternatively would be a 2005er with about 50,000 km for 28,000 E uro. Are there any problems over 100,000 km? MfG

Dear people I am faced with the decision to buy a 9-5 or a Volvo V70. I am open to both brands (run at the moment a gifted 945) and have already been owners of 9-5 or 900 I. That I do not post the request (not yet) in the Saab forum, perhaps suggests that I can really still decide freely?! (oh the subconscious can be so deceptive) The Saab has advantages in terms of equipment; so he has bi-xenon, leather and a carbon armatu The engine is a 2.3 with 185 hp from 2004. The Volvo from 2003 has the cooler color (red) and otherwise only the smaller engine 2.4 with 140 hp (so can be called a nudity screw). Perhaps at first glance a clear thing… Are there any other advantages per Volvo that I don’t want to see at first and second glance? Both have similarly few kilometers on it (against 65 000) and would be by the dealer with Gara Why would you tend? With thanks and greetings!
