Hello dear forum, I would have asked two questions: What is this front bumper? www.heicosportiv.de/nextshopcms/cmszoom.asp?id=4333 2. How expensive would this exhaust system cost for a volvo s60 2.4 2004 96kw? www.heicosportiv.de/mainframe.asp?lang=de&e1=211 I didn’t want to make a direct request to Heico but rather ask here first! Thank you mfG paddy450

Hi, my V70 D5 from 2003 with 310,000km is only 200 km/h for a few weeks, according to Tacho. Before it accelerated quite quickly with three-quarters of gas to where it then controlled. Now it does not accelerate so quickly and creates with ach and krach downhill at full gas I can remember the following relevant events: Do you have an idea what slows the moose so? I have read here already something of the marten-knappered hoses on the intercooler. How can I check whether the L adepressum is sufficiently high? Probably you will hear nothing, because the engine is simply too loud at 3,000 rpm. Would be grateful for a push in the right direction. Greeting, wrecked

Hello to Alle… I know these posts are annoying for you already!? But I’ve been looking around this forum for 2 days, but unfortunately I didn’t find anything suitable. The thing is, I want to buy a Volvo V70 used. The price for this should be between 5000 and 800€. First of all, the reliability is important to me of course. There I drive, according to many statements in the forum, probably quite well with such a Volvo. Second the place (that’s why the V70). AAABut, which M otor? First, I would like to have it converted to gas and second, I would like to use it to pull a caravan. Now, of course, it depends on which engines I get both well under one roof, and what I can get for the above mentioned money. I have of course already looked around myself and I noticed the year 1999 to 2002 for the money. Maybe there are some here in the forum that also pull a caravan and can recommend me an engine? Many thanks to Alle… Greeting Sebastian

Hi Fories, Blondchen wants to buy a new car and fluctuates extremely between the X5 (incarnate BMW driver) and the XC 90 (which I find optically simply hornier than the BMW – ash on my head :-). I hope you can help me. I had a brief look at the Tuareg – but only heard negatives. Now I wanted to hear from you “insiders” about how satisfied you are with the reliability of your XC 90s. Is there anything special I have to pay attention to, we If I buy a used XC 90 (thinking of a 2-3 year old car…). Does he have any child’s illnesses??What is the Servie of the workshops??? Had found out at the Tuareg that VW can’t really handle the high price segment and with a broken rain sensor at VW with “that’s what they have to live with……to be fed.” So and now go and praise the car or scold it *grins* I wait eagerly for reactions… lg from the “swab-like” Tanja

Hello guys, I have an S60 MY04 and it seems there’s a wobble contact somewhere. The BC writes to me that a standlight is defective, but both light up. . Standlight are the two right next to the dipped light in the main headlight, or (the small lamp) both lights and are apparently ok. (light switch POS1) What can I do now, except to drive into the workshop? does someone have a tip? lg, PinocchioS60

I have now tried and observed a lot. I have observed the following with my 170hp gasoline automatic (MY 07, 44000km). The engine runs generally nicely round and evenly. Stand-up gas also. No change if climate on or off. Also cruise control has no influence. NUN to the actual. I have the impression if I give only minimal gas the impression that the engine is jerking and stockerich(?) runs. Especially if I drive for example so 120 then go off the gas and so at approx. 100km give only minimal gas again d the gas so stop. I mean that I have this bumpy engine run even when I have gone off the gas. Similar to a carburetor motor which is too lean. But the engine willingly picks up gas and accelerates cleanly. Even with stronger gas position you don’t notice anything. Only if you give gas very gently and leave it in “sleep position” so to speak. I then opened the air filter box and knocked out the filter. The air filter box was quite different. The LMM looked clean. I am not exactly a professional when it comes to this engine and also petrol injections. I would be interested in which factors to intervene in the control system or if this is possibly simple and simply normal for the engine. What about the valve play? That can also be such effect. How am I supposed to narrow down the problem if it should be one at all?

Since in the future there will be some reperatures in my S80 and the place with 2 children with a stepback limo is quite cramped, I made my way today and drove some dealers to see what the market offers. I came to the dealer where I also bought my S80 on the following vehicle and wanted to hear your opinion about it: XC90 D5 Ocean Race, 04/2006, approx. 42,500km, 185hp, Automatic, DPF, Blaumet., Leather, Phone, Bi-Xenon, Nivea uregulierung, Audio High Performance, 7 seater, standing heating, sliding roof, etc. so actually full equipment except for Navi (which I don’t want to have either – have a portable and am very satisfied with it). Looks so great, only once possibly the driver’s seat “grease”, because the leather looks a bit dry there. The car should cost about 31.000.-€. What do you think of the price? How can you compare the running costs from the XC90 to the S80 (inspection, spare parts etc.)? certainly be higher – with the S80 I can get there at the moment with approx. 6.5 liters. What can the XC90 draw 2t certainly, right? Greetings

Hello, with the XC90 (and probably also with other models) you can configure via VIDA the software of the central locking system so that a) the ZV automatically locks at more than 7km/h (so that someone does not go up when stopping unsolicited), b) 1x only push the driver door opens and 2x all doors (so that when opening the car someone from the other side does not get in unsolicited). In the USA I found these features very useful. Even if I do not now in Southern Chicago l ebe, I’m thinking about getting these security settings played up (about 30€ each). So the question: Has anyone had experience with one or both settings? Thank you! Greeting Ralf

Hello Volvo screwdriver, has to change a wiper arm at my V70 MJ 04 (passenger side), some kind of sp….i has bent my wiper arm. Now my question, do I just have to loosen the screw under the plastic cover? I can not get the wiper arm down, rusted? would like to try to bend it straight again. I am grateful about every tip. Greetings Mulie

Hello, I finally ordered the long-desired 17″ Orpheus, they are just very good for the V70. Knowing that I have to make certain setbacks in the turning circle and comfort, I ask myself which tire for 17″ at the moment is probably the best compromise: Are 225/50/17 really more comfortable than the more common and cheaper 225/45? Which manufacturer/model(s) does the best in terms of comfort? knows of course tyre test.com, but would me about your V70/S60 spec Greetings, Hans
