Moin, bike carriers have never been a thing I’ve thought about since we’ve always been running locally here. Now, however, there’s a tour ahead, where you need a carrier system to get there. Since this will happen now and then, I’m looking for a system like this and I know zero with the stuff. Googling what keeps the stuff and reading and smoking bulb. What I don’t want are these things for the car roof. Since I have three full wheels to transport, the The rear flap or the trailer coupling are left. My V70 D5 from 2003 has a detachable Westfalia trailer coupling. What would you take now? Definitely and without discussion one for the trailer coupling? Or would the nonsense be just to concentrate the AHK just because it is available? Since I will use the carrier only occasionally, I would like to buy now no superduper part of Thule or anything else. But should not also be on the first Turn off from the parking lot and turn into a window. It would also be a possibility. But Step by Step and now this system question: AHK or Klappe? Thank you and Lg Jörg

Hello Volvo friends, after I had been opposed to the purchase of a navigation device for a long time, I decided to buy a mobile navigator. As a wearer of a reading goggles – I don’t need to drive – the navigator must not be placed too far away. Is a 4.3-inch device, if it is attached to the windscreen and the view should not be “too far” away from the XC90? Can it be reached from the driver’s seat without it from the holder has any of you mounted a mobile nav on the front window of the XC90 and can provide information about readability and usability?

Hello community, this weekend my winter tires have been raised, because I have to drive in the mountains because of work. You never know when the first snow comes. It will not last for a long time. My summer tires were almost new and have now left in front to the wear indicator. Outside it is still good 4-5 mm. The rear tires are completely ok. The tires are about the dimensions 225/45 R 17. I had air pressure at the front as well as at the rear on 2.7 bar. ch say that the steering wheel has been slightly crooked since the purchase (used car) and that it easily clatters and vibrates at the front axle in the event of road unevenness. Could this have something to do with it? My fear is that if I have the track set in the workshop, the actual error (perhaps a broken component) will not be fixed, I pay money for it and find out after the winter that the winter tires have run off again. Because they are brand new. and what would this cost? Hope you can enlighten me.

Hello first to everyone, since March 09 have a used S60 2.4, year 2001, and for some time the problem occurs, which I can only put in a gear with effort, where it is relatively no matter which gear it is. This Phenomena does not occur however, but at irregular intervals. Someone knows the problem and possibly knows a advice. My kinder thought I should first let the transmission oil change (could be handled via the used car warranty, which I have, He also said.) By the way, I am new here, so please for understanding of beginner mistakes. Greeting of thevolvolangener

Since my S80 has been in the workshop since June and they have not been able to carry out the repair properly, I have already suggested that the said hands should take my S80 into payment and then I buy another vehicle from it. Now I have made two vehicles in the short choice, but am unreliable which and whether at all: 1.: S80 D5 (new model), 11/2006, approx. 49.000km, 185hp, switch, beige., leather beige (also steering wheel, switch etc., so see r bright inside), hands-free equipment, otherwise usual equipment. Excellent for approx. 25,000.-€ 2.: XC90 T6, 05/2004, approx. 42,000km, 272hp, automatic(4 gear!), black, full equipment, 7 seats, AHK – approx. 27.000.-€ What will ultimately be the purchase price, must then be negotiated – are the excellent prices. Do me a favor both cars, the XC90 is the most important place (especially with children) and automatic. At the S80 the diesel is much more economical, abe r Handswitch. (My next one should actually become automatic again – now also always annoy me about the constant switching) Normal I tend to something more to the XC, but I have already read a lot of negatives about the search especially to the transmission and therefore have now thought that I could get problems with it again at some point. What do you think, would the XC be worth considering or are the models soo vulnerable that I should rather leave my fingers away from it?

Hi, I’ve been hearing a high-frequency sound for a long time, in my opinion from the left side of the dashboard, after leaving within a maximum of 5min. I almost think it’s normal, but I’m not quite sure. Maybe someone has had something similar before and can confirm my guess. The search for forums gave me nothing suitable. So, the whole thing only expresses itself as long as the car is cold, so up to about 2/3 of the water temperature. high screaming/screaming sound, similar to the screaming of winter tyres on wet road, for maybe 3sec. and then goes away again. After about 30sec the same game again, then sometimes a third time and then eat away. The air conditioning has as far as I can judge, no influence on the noise, just as little as the engine speed/speed. From 50km/h you can not definitely hear it out anymore, at 30km/h however very clearly. it immediately, if I do a minimal Schlenker with the steering wheel. As soon as I go straight again, it comes again, with a Schlenker it disappears then immediately again… Greetings, pingu 861

Hello, I am an absolute Volvo Newbie and would like to ask a few questions about the Volvo models. Can you please explain to me in which classes the models S60 and S80 are to be classified (size)? S60 = 5 Series, A6, E-Class S80 = 7 Series, A8, S-Class or was that wrong? I am looking for a successor for my A6 2.8 Quattro automatic 193PS suction cup I tend to a model from 2003 with the 209 hp 2.5T engine. Is the engine recommended? Or should you choose the 2.4T from 2001 or even the 2.0T also in Bet I have set my price limit to approx.13K€. I often ride short distance <20Km but he should also have enough power to drive fully loaded with 4 people + ski box in ski holidays. And sometimes to pull a 1500KG trailer. Annual speed approx.: 15Tkm I would again tend to an AWD because 2 times a year ski holidays and occasionally trailer rides. Or can you do without it? In the gearbox my choice would tend to hand-operated because the automatic would swallow too much power t. How good (maintainable) are the machines from Volvo? Own development or purchased? I tend to the V70 but the prices for the S60/S80 are also very interesting. Just the question if you can ride with 4 adults + luggage comfortably 800Km on ski holidays? I think the V50 falls out because of the size even if I like it visually very much.

Hello, one question concerns me and I would like to hear the opinion of the forum. I intend to purchase a used XC 90. Now the Gretchen question is with Navi or without? Beautiful is the retractable display at the Werksnavi. Is simply chic and it does not disturb any cable salad or suction cups on the disc. Another clear advantage are the wheel sensors, which make the whole story even more accurate … … but otherwise … for the extra charge you get already a good mobile Na vi. Maps are almost the same anyway, since there are only (I think) two manufacturers. It’s a little bit more inconvenient, but you get to the destination and I’ve never missed an exit 🙂

Hello, early today at pace in front of the traffic lights, km stand 170.000: – suddenly strong engine noise, similar to hole in the exhaust, unround run – yellow light (OBD-2) flashes, clear text “slower drive or turn up” – still 3.8 km slowly driven home – reading out the Volvo codes: none – reading out the OBD-2 codes: P0300 and P0304: misignitions on cylinder 4 – artificial cover on cylinder head dismantled – –> ignition coil cylinder 4 is pushed shaky upwards, oil has leaked – shut down rob the ignition coil – I can then simply pull out the ignition rinse broken at the shaft and the candle with the hand (!) up – The candle is crushed from below one side Since the plunger can never touch the candle directly, a valve would probably have to be torn off and laid between the plunger and candle, then the plunger with the help of the valve has pushed the candle together with the ignition coil up (?) Who has experienced similar experiences, who has another explanation? Thank you

Hello together, after I have bought a small 750 kg trailer, I now also need an AHK. So far I have always had to borrow the S60 of my father, because he has a removable AHK installed – but it has become too annoying for me now. I have the choice between our Polo 6N and our S80. However, the polo with its 50 pesas may have serious problems with the trailer weight of max. 750 kg. So he drags thus almost his own weight after himself. h really do that to the “little one”? The S80 shouldn’t even feel the trailer, I think . Here are two variants to choose from – “fixed & removable”. A fixed AHK is not considered for optical reasons, because it looks rather suboptimal. A removable one would be more preferable to me. My related questions are therefore: – Does anyone have experience with retrofitted AHK ́s ??? – Lt. my first research in the WWW amount to about 350.- incl Kab elsatz (for the polo ca. 170.-) – someone knows other prices ??? – What does this fun cost me at VOLVO ??? – Which alternative manufacturers are there, and what about their qualities ??? – What does the installation cost me when I order a set from the net ???? After some back & forth it should probably hit the S80, although I am not absolutely enthusiastic. But I don’t really have to expose the polo to such an agony. Lick me at the foot – I just can’t f What does YOU mean ??? Greeting from HB ALEX PS: In the appendix, a small VOLVO feature for your answers
