Moin! Now it caught me as well: On New Year’s Eve also my hand brake pads blessed the time. At 50 things in a slight left turn on a snowy road the left rear wheel blocked and provided for a decent dance on the ice. At the left side of the road he found at a damn steep slope an abrupt end. Despite proper booms, however, it only crushed the water cooler, or has torn off one of his mounts and has In addition, only the lattice in the bumper did not survive this day, all other parts (also all other coolers) will still experience the new year. Well, apart from the hand brake pads… So for the fact that I was actually “ridden against the wall with 30”, I find the damage actually very clear. At the scene of the accident, all this looked quite bad, but the bumper had only been pushed under the car – nothing The NSW didn’t even break it up. So you can talk about luck in the bad luck. In addition, the road on the other side is limited by a 2m deep stream – on this side the slingshot dance would not have taken such a glamorous end… But it’s pretty crazy, which is also sold by premium manufacturers (or actually by car manufacturers at all). But a lot has already been written about it. I just wanted to briefly my experience on the last day of the l In recent years, we have described and reminded you that it could have been worse for all of us (woman, child, dog and me)… Greeting Matze AND CHECKS MAL EURE HANDBRAKES!

I hope you can help me with something. I have a V70 II BJ 05. 2 weeks ago he had to hack because he didn’t jump on it. It only came a crack of starter and that was it. Electronics went on everything. He then called me and said if I had the 2nd key, since the coding of the key had gone off even though the door of the car opened by FB. Here is my first question. 1. How can this be that the coding of the key But the door opens by FB? He then charged me almost 200 € for reading out the error codes and again canpp 600 € for inspection. 820 € shortly before Christmas hurts. Well, the main thing the car goes again. It did so also and this morning! Car does not start again. Volvo Assis. called and they sent someone by. They thought it was the battery, which also mentioned already between the “that makes 820€” and the “happy party”. I told the nice man of towing service that he doesn’t have to tow me, since I would probably manage to replace the battery. Said, done! New battery with more power (ha, ha, ha) installed and see there, the car is buzzing again. Now to my second question. 2. Why do I have to laugh over 200€ for a fault diagnosis and supposed correction of the funny codes if I have finally fixed the “error” myself? Couldn’t/shouldn’t I transfer my money back there? ————————– — Some other questions: 3. With me, the button for locking and unlocking the rear doors (child safety) does not light up. Is that normal? 4. Does the light switch always have to be turned to the 0 position, if I pull the key or can it remain quiet, because the current runs out anyway when I pull the key? 4a. Is there possibly a signal tone if the switch is not at 0, at least nothing comes to me. My Navi has not functioned for a long time. wants 700 € for the Repa ratur. I have already replaced the laser but error “Disc can be read net!!!” remains. I was then told of that it is the control. 5. Can I change myself or do I still have to add sofware on it? 5a. Does someone know one who can do this cheaply in the area Frankfurt am Main? So, that’s it for now. I’m already looking forward to the answers.

Evening, since I’m going to drive my big one again two years and I always look after a new vehicle after 24 months, I have now become active again. However, there could be a longer marriage with my big one 😉 There are dealers who want to be up to 9tEuro at present – with LPG, Top Leder etc. Ok, the bigger engines can be sold worse 176tkm are also not very little – even if the Volvo has just entered with it – but so slow is sometimes Sense! I like my previous A6 with 7 years 185tkm Limo 2.7T and LPG sold for 11.5TEuro!!! then I am a bit at a loss at the moment. The dealers still want to sell your carts at unchanged prices – and that for months – and are not willing to pay decent prices. I think this will increase many dumps and in the long term bring some farms into financial distress. Probably I will follow the trend and drive the cart longer than planned. be the only one who wants to spend money – just don’t want to be fooled!

Help! Could annoy me black. I transported a package of plaster corner strips last week and loaded it in my XC70. The package is 2.50m long and the end was therefore about 30cm away from the windscreen (over the folded passenger seat). These plaster corner strips are made of galvanized steel and wire and you should actually be careful with them… Anyway, a slow Ford Fiesta or the like drove around in front of me (< 40km/h!!!), which bothered me, since I I had to go to an appointment - so, I was close to it. Of course that didn't fit and instead of giving gas he stepped on the brake around me to annoy me. - That also worked! I had to brake massively and thanks to the brake assistant I put a full brake! Thanks! So now the cleaning corners slipped massively forward and spit in my dashboard only 4 months old. There are now two fingernail-sized holes in it - not punched out but cut in and agree a scratch... that's annoying, but maybe someone can give me a tip on what to get rid of it. maybe there's some putty or something, I was thinking about silicone, but that's right... color's anthracite... greeting, maze

What’s going on in Switzerland? Yesterday in the Lörracher Sonntagszeitung there was an unsightly article about the “Young Greens” in Basel and their actions against SUVs. In BS and ZH stickers are glued on the varnish of SUVs and even used footsteps against offroaders. (100000 pcs are ordered) Reasons: 1. high fuel consumption, allegedly 3x as much as a small car (as example was called the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S (66l/100km) 2. CO2 fabric >250 g/km 3. pedestrian unfriendly In the event of accidents, a referendum is sought to introduce a special tax right up to the ban. The German Greens already include this. What is the point of this nonsense? Have the Swiss Greens not informed themselves about the XC90? the 250g CO2/km stops the D5. My Xc90 consumes less than a VW bus. Since I live in LÖ and regularly drive to BS and ZH, I am now seriously thinking about using the second car (which, by the way, has the same CO2 emissions h at, like my XC90.) Someone can’t even enlighten the Greens….

I like the XC90 (better than Touareg. X5 or Q7) – it’s “something too big” for my wife. But it’s supposed to be an SUV, price-less order of magnitude up to 60,000 euros (if you like to be less). We had a test drive in Touareg, X5 , Q7, Range Rover Sport, Landrover Freelander and Chervrolet Captiva. We were fascinated by the variability of the XC90, especially that you can lay all seats (also the passenger seat), which only has the Chevy Captiva. XC90, my wife tends to be a little smaller: “I have to deal with it in the parking garage!”. The freelander would like her, but bad variability. The Captiva Diesel seemed a bit lame to us, otherwise good variability – let’s see, he is not much smaller than the XC90 either. Now I have read that there will soon be an XC60, size about like Freelander. That would perhaps be the right compromise, because he should be as variable as the XC90 or ? A lso – either now the XC90 or one and a half years are waiting for the XC60, more SUV probably doesn’t need mas as a private man either. Or does someone have another good tip ? rapper strongly thinking.

Hello Volvofan ! had last week’s birthday in the V70. At speed 130 on highway blocked without warning with loud noise the right rear wheel. Cause : Release of the brake pads from the brake cheeks of the hand brake. Towing. At Volvo workshop known the replacement of the brake pads – is perhaps checked at service and possibly exchanged and charged to the customer. Cause sloppy stick. At Volvo-Austria (telephone.) this deficiency is known – poor quality of the Vorli eferant – bad luck! I think I’ve been lucky and repair costs of 1,000,–€, car 4 days not available, etc. Written statement from Volvo-Austria demanded – no response! Volvolike!

Hello, I drive Volvo S60, D5, EZ:2007 the following problem or the following question – in preparation for winter I filled the windscreen washing system with medium to -20 degrees. Now we have in Schleswig-Holstein so -4 to -6/7 and nothing is possible anymore. First the driver side goes out of the passenger side and at some point everything goes away. The spraying system for the headlights is no longer possible. If I had not the medium in there until -20 I would say – myself to blame, but so… r also such problems? I drove service golf today and had no problems… Is the supply line running too much on the outside wall at S60 and is therefore getting cold so quickly? Can I retrofit the heating for the nozzles? So winter is no fun At the moment the windscreen gets dirty very quickly and I can hardly drive Is this normal? Can I not really imagine Thanks for comments and greetings from Ostholstein – currently buried under 60cm of new snow

So after my last posting about the right engine I think it will be a 170Ps.Then I downloaded the test and the breakdown statistics at the ADAC.Best years of construction are probably 2003-2004.So according to various German technical journals the V70 turns out to be an old Kaputtgeh car.Fear!!!Some even claim space is not enough.I don’t understand.My question is whether other V70 owners have spoken the car nicely in terms of practice, durability and useful value. In retrospect it is a bad car and you(s) would have driven better with an E-Class 5-BMW.I have to say for myself the V70 is one of the most beautiful cars and I am afraid that I do not objectively assess the car realistically.

Yesterday evening on a rather empty village road around 8 p.m. a Bernharsenenen dog wanted to cuddle with my beloved elk. But unfortunately I had about 45 km/h on the speedo standing and my elk not really the desire for a closer relationship with the dog. The result… despite initiated emergency braking…rummms… the dog made a set of about 1.50m in driving direction. Only 1m later I stood. The dog huddled strongly in the direction of its apparent home and I swallowed it The dog had run through an open gate and ran into the street…. He was now lying in the back of the yard and whistling. Anyway, you couldn’t see much about my car in the dark, we stayed to report the accident of her insurance and I drive to one to have the damage examined. Well, see what awaits me afterwards Greeting Heiko
