Finally, we are proud owners of a Volvo V70 (2.4 140hp) *freuwieplöt* Our two Opels were already so badly broken, we should have put thousands of € into the rep. and have now exchanged them both for this giant flag ship. The stupid only… that belongs now to my wife. Admittedly … always wanted to have an E-Class. But after I drove with the Volvo … *sabber … tie … lechz… * Will also have one. Since we have to we already need 2 cars. On the Internet you will encounter the engineization of 140-250 hp (petrols) Now to the real question: Which is the best, least vulnerable and not too expensive in maintenance? Search a V70 or S80 from year 2002, gasoline, automatic The 200 or 250 hp versions are already offered quite cheaply. Very probably not without reason, right? (When I think of the Vectra V6 CDI … change glow candles once 750€ … ) Not to mention consumption. Think they won’t be less than 14l/100km. Why can’t you find a 170hp (or only rarely) one? Have they all ended up in scrap? Thank you very much for your help.

Hello, since I am already looking forward to my, hopefully soon arriving XC70 and it is hard to bear it anymore you just drive around in the www. I came across the following, which clouds my anticipation somewhat or raises questions:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyLgYskj-oc Who has experience with the off-road characteristics of the XC70? Would be nice if someone could calm me down a bit and share positive experiences away from the road – I hope that with this clip something is manipulated I don’t understand this language… Greetings from the Frankenwald…

Hello, have to replace my one year old XC 90 (leasing) prematurely, since I do not get along with the km (contract with 25.000km/YAhr) driving at present well 30-25000 in the JAhr I have before to replace prematurely. Alone the diesel consumption of my Xc 90 at 12-13 liters to 8 liters of an Xc 70 are a lot € which I save. Would you exchange the Xc 90 for a new Xc 70 (previous model edition) with very good equipment or prefer to choose the completely new Xc 70 ????, With the new Xc 70 in m a confiscation will become less expensive ??

Hello, yesterday morning mother XC70 (BJ01, 2.5T) got caught. A slight snow outlet from the roof hit the sliding roof. Result: It is COMPLETE (so really complete to the edges) crumbled; the largest fragment was about 1cm^2. Further result: Autsch, himself to blame (own damage on home land), no insurance (liability, household supplies, …) is forced to pay something. Partial cassock is not available, although it would not have paid either. Costs: First gross estimate ng vom 1k€ Question: Will Volvo glass sliding roofs be brittle with time? I could still have understood a crack, but so…. Statement: Be careful where you place your sliding-minded sweetheart. Greetings Björn

Hello Volvo friends, I would like to call a V70 II my own soon. So the first decision is taken Now it’s about the motorization / equipment. There are very many combinations. I try to give some data: – Little drivers, maybe only between 4,000-10.000 km / year (cars are only used privately but not needed to get to work) – Current car = Volvo740 with 113hp machine (petrol) – Reasons for Volvo: safety, price/L because of the few rides I think a petrol engine is more useful. I was able to test a V70 with the 2.4 machine (140hp) at the dealer’s, other models I unfortunately could not find in the vicinity. Before I drive now 100km to test a 2.0t (which is not at all for me), I thought that I wanted to ask you here… So I was excited about the V70R, only that costs a whole corner more and I don’t know how much I don’t know if the car would be worth it. I don’t drive BAB every day etc. so it’s probably exaggerated. Maintenance will also be a lot higher by AWD. Then I touched the T5 in the eye. I have now read that it is actually too much PS without AWD. So to me, the 2.4t or the 2.5t seems to be quite ventilated models. Do you think you notice a clear difference to my current 740s with 113hp? I hope, however, that only I have read often that people my that the car (up to V70R) is too “weak” to them… Maybe they are also people who usually only drive with 300hp devices around the area…? Don’t misunderstand, I don’t expect a sports car. I don’t want to race with the car but it’s more about drive-ups, overtaking etc. At the moment, this is already very exhausting. Ok is probably too much text, have actually more but I wait first if anyone can make it here Thanks for T ipps, opinions, etc.! Greetings slein EDIT: what I should perhaps mention, Madame wants to move with the vehicle then also a horse trailer. In Zukunt we want to travel often also with a caravan (pays for it already AWD?) Also would an XC70 still be in question instead of nem V70

I don’t really know how to describe the problem – the mirror glass of the outside mirror on the driver’s side is gradually moving upwards as if from ghost’s hand gaaaaanz. So concrete example: If I put the mirror in the right place, it “shifts” a few mm further up the next day, even more. On some days it is clearly noticeable even within this one day. If I press the program button on the seat, it goes back into the still programmed e correct position, only so that the game can start from the front. I have saved the program button on the seat several times, at the mirror movement this does not change anything. Of course is not a really big problem, nevertheless the (possible) cause interests me. To take the air from the sails from the beginning: Earth rays, micro waves, aliens, crashing satellites etc. I can reliably exclude as a cause Greeting Frank

Hello, today on the highway the rear bumper of our S60 year 2002 solved itself and flew away. A passat drove in. Fortunately, nothing happened to anyone. Only the passat got some scratches. We called the police to record the accident. (I hate it if you have to listen to your own accident afterwards on the radio.) On Monday I will report the damage of my insurance. Can someone tell me if the purchase the new bumper can happen over all-round? Would you be reclassified in the insurance? (We had no damage to it before. I can’t tell if someone has put us on the parking lot.) Will our liability V also be reclassified due to the passat damage? Should we stay at the expense of the new bumper, where do I get a black painted bumper for the S60? If possible not at the pharmacy prices of the Volvo dealers. Thank you and Greetings! ra666ack

Hey guys! I’ve always seen the car as an object of use so far. In my spare time I’m a motorcyclist anyway.. Actually I just need a very reliable car to get there everywhere. And since I have over 240 Tkm in the meantime.. this probably speaks for itself. But now it happened. That it started to rain and I had to under some canopy.. and there I saw the car.. a Porsche 944 in red…. I don’t know, I think I’ve got a n bit “in love” in the car That I have to test a car like this.. is for me only clear.. actually I don’t want to have two cars in the garage well or bad, would it be for me also a utility item Do you know this car? I heard that Porsche builds very good engines… how reliable is that Porsche (even if it is 20 years old) and what about the wear parts (are the expensive) and spare parts.. is there still something made? I am fr oh to any opinion I know that it is unreasonable.. – but need more argument.. to weigh the whole, how unwise I may be

Today 12:30 on a free-range road in Austria….. A red Alfa Spider comes to me just before a roundabout at the end of a free-range road. I still look at him in the rear-view mirror and notice that the B Vectra drives behind me on the counter-track. Shortly before the red Italian the OPEL rins back to his side…. Think that this was more than scarce, the OPEL is getting closer and closer to me. Actually I went from an overtaking maneuver, which I shortly before the end of the Landstr the Vectra was getting faster and faster.. BUMM and in the back he was already 🙂 After I started off from a brake failure and recognized a gray crew in the rear mirror, I left the nice ladies again in the back and slowly braked them down to a dirt road. It was an epileptic attack of the aged 70 year old !!! The life companion could still tear the steering wheel at the Alfa and then she gave gas instead of on the brake She was just a little surprised when I asked her how she was doing. She doesn’t know anything about the accident, but what’s normal with such a seizure. The ambulance took her with him, I hope she’s doing well. Last but not least, the photos of the duel Sweden against Germany 🙂
