So, wanted to make me noticeable this way Wish you all nice Easter days! Have fun in egg hunting Even if this (possibly) should not take place in the garden (), I wish you good luck Painted the eggs nice colorful, because it is supposed to snow… …apropos snow: I wanted to sign off on this way again for 1 week, because it drives me with friend and consorts to Switzerland for skiing So, let’s hope: – That my hand brake cheeks do not fal len – That I don’t take a Bernese mountain dog – That my D5 doesn’t give any funny noises at high speeds – That my tailgate will lock in frost – That my RTI will work – That my DSTC won’t be defective So, have I forgotten something that might break? If so, then add it. Otherwise I wish you all once again beautiful and happy Easter days. In this sense Robert

First a greeting to all Volvo drivers, I am new here in the forum. Ride for 13 years VW Passat Variant TDI and want to switch to Volvo. Maybe a Volvo XC 70. Old model year 2005, petroler (diesel is not worth driving, only 12000km a year). I have a good offer. Built 2005 XC 70 Momentum at the dealer purchase price plus my old passi. Volvo only 40000 km run. Vehicle super equipped. Xenon, sliding roof, trailer coupling, Four-C, Navi. Abdominal pain makes me own VCD would like to ask vehicles with high CO2 emissions at the cash desk. Supposedly only for new vehicles. But I believe that new registrations will also fall under it in 2008. According to VCD, this is 720 €. Maybe one or the other here has a tip, which I have to pay attention to with a 3 year old XC 70. I know, angular transmissions sometimes cause trouble. Otherwise, I don’t know anything. About suggestions from Greetings, Hansi1960

And that bothers me. In maybe 90% of the time it is to be observed that I have to resist easily. Was with it to the workshop. They mowed broken crossbars and changed them (were probably really defective). But pulling was unchanged. Then they set the track (after that steering wheel crooked!). So again set track, now steering wheel almost straight, car still pulls away. Change on winter tires has changed at the phenomenon nothing. Friendlyer now says that his would auc h make, all roads are inclined, width (205) tires etc. Bring the car to it again next week, but have some concerns, since there is no idea yet what it could be and so often becomes a euro-destroying machine. Do you have any idea what it might still be? Is it normal that the cars pull aside? Greetings roemi P.S.: I bought the car as “accident-free” (I don’t know if it is….)

Hello Volvo community, I am looking for a new vehicle to get several offers of an XC90. In addition, I am staying in the USA and the offers for a 04/05-er with max 40k miles at 20-25,000$. If I opt for an XC90 then this would accompany me in 1-2 years after D. Here there are essentially 2 engines – the 2.5l and a T6 with 2.9L TWIN TURBO. Which engine would be the better choice (also with regard to the engine Needs)? Are there any special features you should pay attention to? Is the Navi also usable in D? Thank you for the help VBeach

Hello dear forum members, I’m looking for a mobile phone holder for my moose. Unfortunately, the SuFu didn’t bring the desired results. Since my Volvo didn’t have a phone installed, I have this storage compartment left of the radio (see attached photo). Is there a cover for this hole that I can just clip on there? In some time I get a smart phone. I thought that I would take this “cover” and then there just the holder for the T And if I don’t need the phone anymore, then I just put the lid and mobile phone holder in the glove compartment. According to me, however, there is no such lid, but either install the beverage holder there or keep the frame completely new, only then the hole is immediately closed and I can’t just remove the lid. Brackets, for example, from Brodit, which clamps either into the ventilation grid or into the gaps on the transmission tunnel, I don’t want to build up. Then the ugly thing sits there even if I don’t need the phone. I already had that in the passat and I didn’t find it so doll. Oh yes, I have a Blutooth hands-free device installed, so I don’t want to buy an original phone. KaiCNG had once posted a great instruction on how to install the I-phone here. There, however, his dashboard seems to have the permanently built-in cover. Has someone ever built a removable holder or has a tip like you It is important to me that you do not see that you can see from the holder that a phone can be clipped there. Thank you for your tips!

Hello Elchfreunde I’ve had a problem with my V70 MY 2002 since yesterday a problem with the heater. And yesterday morning everything worked perfectly. I drove to work and programmed the heater. Unfortunately, it didn’t enter. I tried today the direct start unfortunately also without success. The display went on and off again. BC shows no error message. I checked the backup, which is OK. What can this be? Have me The earliest date he offered me was 22.12 So I have a little time to find the mistake alone with your help and possibly to repair cheaper.

I’m still on my bike here… So, history: I used a trip to Osnabrück in the spring, a short detour to a friend in the NL, heating unlocked. (the fastest-earned 199,- which I’ve ever seen… The espresso wasn’t empty yet, my keys were on the table again…) Short test, looks good. Now that it would be really useful here, I played around with the timer. Turn on, please at 5.30 am. Nix… After starting (5.40 am ), I’ll get in touch. but the BC after a few sec: “Standh. Timer1 5.30 EIN” I click that off, after a few sec’s it’s back. The game goes for a while, until I put the timer on OFF, then is quiet. (If the timer had started and expired, he would have turned himself on OFF, right?) Now are a few days around with try, also with timer2. I set it for juxzhalb times to 14.00 (at worktime). Strangely enough, this always works with 14.00! So sometimes the timers changed, the 2s a a uf 5.30, the 1er on 14.00 #########! The switch at 14.00, which at 5.30 NOT! What still occurred to me was the tank problem on the mountain, so box sometimes filled up. Nix… Do you have to keep a chronological order there? (So T1 earlier like T2) Or does this not go on the next day? (wouldn’t be nonsense) What else would give the other for exclusion conditions outside of tank? (Low-Bat would probably be one more, but according to KD ok. Besides, now is not much warmer than at night.) I don’t need SH, which only works during the day….frying… Peter

Hello, I’m currently looking for a used Volvo V70 and I got a rather handsome offer. It’s a Volvo V70 2.4D D5 Premium with built in 2002, automatic transmission, diesel, 190hp. According to the seller, the vehicle is fully serviced checkbook, service was carried out only at Volvo. The last inspection took place before 15tkm. The car has exactly the features I want and is also optically flawless. The good track has already 235,000km on the speedometer. You don’t look at the kilometers, it should also be a pure long-distance vehicle. Nevertheless, I am not sure if the investment of a good 8000,- € in the car is worthwhile. Finally, I would like to continue to stand with an engine / or transmission damage on the stand strip in the next 2 years and 40,000km. Other question: How reliable are the used car checks of the DEKR A, TÜV, ADAC and Co.? When I go to visit the vehicle I definitely want to have a used car check carried out. Does the check protect me from experiencing the above mentioned scenario in the near future or can this not be estimated by the check?

Hello together The winter has arrived in the North German lowlands and the heater is really worth it now. The consumption is now about 8 liters, which is completely ok. Now the problem: the wiping water can no longer be used from about -6 degrees. The wiper arms move though (and from the headlights one hears the noise) – but nothing comes. Back as in front. Is this a safety feature, which is not in the onboard book? The water can not be frozen, the Beh older is almost full and there is also a lot of “winter clear” in it. As soon as the car is back in the garage for a few minutes and the temperature has risen – everything works wonderful. Do you have that too??? Thank you & Greeting Lars
