  • VOLVO S80 T6 Automatic transmission…switching problems…..

    Hello dear sweden;-D I have run a problem with my new s80 T6 76tkm. and how to follow… he tells me left in the display “gear maintenance“` and on the right side he shows me the motor control light.. so far up to 110 kmh everything is so great, he pulls well, does not jerk etc, however, if I pass the 110 kmh he 1. does not go into the 4th gear and then goes into the emergency running program, say no… no power!!!! if I switch off the engine and get it back to mac he, he goes through normal again. what he does now and then is, when I slowly step on the gas pedal nothing happens first and then he gives fire, but the gearbox translates butter soft. you also have to say, that gear was completely overtaken for 1800 euro on this error.. villt did you have a few ideas. would be very happy about a little help. greetings and thanks dennis

  • Price stability XC90 vs. price decline V70?

    Moin! I would like to hear your opinions about my observations regarding the prices of the V70 and XC90. I got a V70II summ in 2009, year 2005 and almost 90,000 km on the clock, for quite exactly 25,000 euros, which was at the time a kind of reference price for a fully equipped V70. A not even initially equivalent equipped XC90 I would have got with the same Bj./running performance for approx. 27k, a summum for well over 30k. A few weeks later set with Volvo the P and mine had exactly the same V70 standing on the farm, only 1 year younger and with over 50,000 km less mileage. This V70 went horribly away for under 21k and that gave at the time a “wasting premium” of 6.000 euros. So I would have had to spend less of the proceeds from my old 850 of 1,500 euros still 8,500 euros less for a car, which had almost half of the mileage. The prices for the V70 did not have to t recovered, the prices for the XC90 remained stable. Now I would still get just under 15k with 105,000 km of mileage for my V70 summum, but would still have to lay minimum 24k for a reasonably usable XC90. My search agent on mobile.de unfortunately says the same… can you confirm that? And if so, why is that so? Greetings elchleder

  • How long does your SH take to heat the car/consumption??

    Moin dear moose community, right away – the SuFu showed nothing really meaningful! The following event, the stand-heating ran with my young used some days really well (always morning and evening before the ride) until early a smoke cloud and a cold engine witnessed the failure. The SH was then completely replaced. Now I am not really happy with it anymore, right the next day after the repair she jumped at -8 degrees (Display cluster instrument) n I already wanted to scream guarantee, but after starting the engine the heater also started to run and after turning off again again also… Now it runs again regularly, but I find it somehow has no power. The SH runs its time until the automatic shut-off through nevertheless warm is the car mE not really! Today tomorrow (-3 degrees) it ran through almost exactly 30 minutes, it is warm in the car – compared to outside … But according to coolant temperature I have the impression that it was much better/faster/heater before the repair! Can you please tell me how long your SH runs on average and how warm the cars are then? Then I would still be interested in how much one hour of SH consumes of diesel. I only filled yesterday and came to 11,7 (BC 11,1) with the thick one. That’s 70-80 km and each Because 35-45min early in the morning and evening what the SH is running. If I beat that I can’t even get a liter a day, so the BC says it is true! Can that come?

  • Activation driving beam / light horn

    Hello, just had another case that required me to draw attention to me with a light horn. (A parking car immediately leads from a parking bay to the left lane of the car) And once again I activated the main light when the light horn was activated. I find the solution with the main light activation at Volvo extremely wrinkle. When I press the light horn, mostly in “emergency situations”, I don’t really pay attention to the fact that I only push it lightly but “reise” (My concentration is then rather at the same time on sharp braking, steering, possibly evading and keeping an eye on ‘strange factor’ for all excesses ) So far, my main lights were always to activate by the Koerper-wegdruecken of the lever what I found much more successful with this background. Is it just me?

  • V70 D5 – Annoyance at the gas station

    Hello everybody! Maybe someone knows the following situation: Every Saturday or Sunday I drive my regular fuel station in Holland to refuel my moose. Due to my job I drive about 1000 km per week and therefore I depend on every drop of diesel on board. (A tank filling with me ranges quite exactly from Mo to Fr + a small rest for the WE) Unfortunately, the full filling of a V70 D5 resembles the tap of a good 7-min beer: the diesel foams so much that the pump already after about 60 liters “Tank voller” reports, although there is still room for 10-14 liters (even those on which I am dependent). So, what to do? Take the tap back in your hand and slowly gaaanz, “Dröppche for Dröppche” continue to tap until the tank is really full. (free according to the motto: When the tank is full still report me!) The stupid thing about it is that the drivers behind me often react quite annoyed and angry, so that you are almost inclined to pass over for a short time. And the tank is also very frequented on Saturday afternoons, because Saturdays is not only on many washing days, but also on tank days. Even if 80% is 25km per week for shopping drivers, but they have the least time, as is well known, does anyone know this situation?

  • Costs 60000 inspection?

    Hey, I was looking in the forum and unfortunately only 4-5 years old posts found? Since my white man has to be for the 2nd inspection next week, I would be interested in what I have to “adjust” to. What is usually done and what has the fun cost with you so much? Greetings Patrick

  • Say goodbye quietly servus…

    Yesterday evening I traded the (more or less) faithful Dickelch at the Ford dealer for a Nugget camping bus. The motivations are simple: we like to travel individually, the Volvo is celebrating its 7th birthday and with the topic of caravan I couldn’t make friends. After the first 400 km, which we quickly rewinded yesterday, the Ford turned out to be a very pleasant touring car, which allows a travel-V of 160 km/h and consumes under 10 L diesel. With such high-speed-spheres the XC 90 was hardly quieter and consumed relatively exactly the double of gasoline. So the bus really got into the stuff to make the separation a little easier for us. He will hopefully prove to be a worthy successor and second car for my wife. What I will miss are the 7 seats, the great radio and the great optics of the Volvo. Even after 4 years he has me still so gu t fell like on the first day in his dark blue paint, which was still well shot and the dark grey leather seats. What I will not miss are the high maintenance costs, the relatively high fuel consumption and the little contoured seats of the Comfort equipment. If SUV, then XC 90. I would do that again at any time and if at some point still a reasonable diesel for the model should be available, I could become quite weak again. Finally, also I’m a car… But I don’t think that’s why I want to say goodbye to you now. Thank you so much for the good time, the good tips and the refreshing discussions here in the Moose Forum. I’ll miss you! M.

  • Purchase advice XC90 / X5 / ML

    Hello people, I will soon receive a new company car in the upscale class. Which, I can choose more or less. I am looking for a car, not older than a year, with max. 10,000 KM down. Price: as cheap as necessary, I want to stay as close to the 40 as possible. X5 is a very nice car, but also the most expensive in this category. ML is also nice, but suffers as far as I have noticed from various diseases. XC90 Not the most beautiful, but the cheapest with Good equipment. Oh yes: When I buy an Audi, I shave my head and eat aluminium foil with a cheese ruby. However, I have 0 experiences with Volvo, which concerns the cars and the workshops. My questions about the XC are: quality of the materials; quality engine; quality workshops; Did everyone ever have trouble with their XC, or 100,000 KM without repairs here in the forum, or Saudi mechanics in workshops? Courage? BMW and Mercedes keep me envious at the moment (h I don’t want to tell the employees or neighbors that I’m “the man”. So I don’t need LED fog lights or shark owls in the size of sandboxes as tuning. I’m very curious about your experiences.
