  • Volvo Sweden Annual car/factory car sale…?

    Everywhere in my search, car dealers meet vehicles directly from Sweden with stamped service booklets and also Swedish language in the on-board computer (costs € 120.- if you have it changed at the Volvo dealer in German). Is there a central place in Sweden where you can shop or a company there that markets the and the German dealers there buy? Somewhere they have to come from. Since my Swedish knowledge goes about 0 I found nothing on the net. n. I don’t want to shop directly only the way they come here and of course what such a car probably costs when shopping in Sweden (e.g.V70II D5 185PS).

  • S60 R Power steering flat

    Hello together! I changed from a S60 2,4 2001 to a S60R 2005 with my friend a few days ago – as far as everything was pretty. Yesterday the servo pump cried for a short time with full steering impact, after that was quiet. The steering was inconspicuous. Now I looked into the container for the servo fluid, which was therefore almost empty – problem seems to be here the well-known hose clamp under the container, at which it sweats properly. Dementspre In the morning I will be a bit unfriendly to the friendly and put the car on the yard for repair. But since I do not know exactly to what extent this becomes a number for the used car culture, I would of course not like to let the servo pump “eat” (costs not even a few Euronen) – the dealer is about 10km away. Would you now put something on it again? If so, what? Can I still go there on my own axis, or do I need to Thanks in advance!

  • Acceleration problem

    I have a problem since today if I want to accelerate further in the fourth gear. It occurred, several times, when I got up on the highway and wanted to accelerate quite normally. The engine turns in the fourth gear at approx. 2500 rpm. further up, but there is no real drive. first I thought that it might be smooth and therefore the wheels would spin. But that’s not so, the DSTC does not start either. Does anyone have an idea what that could be. Tomorrow I will be on After all, the moose was there for customer service only last week.

  • XC90: How does the parking brake actually work?

    Hello together, as you know, I am about to explore the last secrets of this world, ok with my car stop The XC90 has no hand brake, but a parking brake. You pass the small pedal, and the parking brake is activated. So far, so good. But what exactly does the parking brake do? Through the following I came into the pondering: Light gradient, automatic on N, brake. Now activate parking brake, release brake, and …… the car rolls a little bit If the parking brake had the effect like a conventional hand brake, then the car should not have rolled. So, what does the parking brake do? For clarifications xc90s thank you in advance …even if it does not actually use the brake.

  • Help to widen the track

    Hi finally got distance discs 30mm per wheel and mounted the same. It looks great, the tires are standing but max 5mm out is no problem and so, after a few days I noticed that it grinds from time to time, they are still original shock absorbers and springs. A buddy thinks I can mount springs limiter and the thing is Gesgesen. Is that true? Is this the last way out? Or what can I do to not grind the tires at caroserie. Distance discs I don’t want to cut to no case mount or exchange.

  • S80-I: 1x shock absorber complete …

    Hello everyone, when I just got my used medium-elk from the 190TKM inspection, I was 2x surprised. I had asked the mechanic to take a look at the shock absorbers and, if necessary, to make a KV. 1. Surprise: My moose should have a level control – I have not noticed yet. Quite the contrary: with a trailer or with 3 adults in the back he went *something* in the back knee – not doll, but de This should avoid leveling, right? Can this be that this leveling is “deactivated” or just broken? How can one recognize that one has one? 2. Surprise: The price in the KV – 1,9kEUR for 1x shock absorber all around incl. axle measurement, payroll and fairytale tax. Does this only occur to me so much …. ?? I have noticed very well that the shock absorber at the rear with approx. 470 EUR / pcs WITHOUT VAT, but still … V iele Greetings Andreas PS: Am I just too clumsy to use the search function, or can you find in the S80 forum really only 1 thread on the topic “level regulation” ????

  • “Don’t play with the scumbags!”…

    … is an old folk song (if it is already one). This statement also shaped generations, but as it is with children in the pre- and puberty age, hardly anyone keeps to it. And the fault is always at least one parent. That this is still true today as for example 50 years ago, my moose demonstrated to me this morning: I once again paid too much attention to other people’s possessions and good and was this morning accordingly inattentive. My moose means smooth, because such a young jumper bends around the corner on a motorcycle, that he could quickly push a smudge on a special body part of the lure in front of him. And before I could hold him back, it had already happened. The opposite, whose cousin has become known for his reputation to get laid by moose once, was a little surprised. However, no lasting impressions were to be seen with her. However, with my moose has light plaque It’s normal, if you go wild around the area. However, the cosmetics department has already created a remedy and the license plate holder has changed. Further damage to the soul and body is not to be found. However, we will learn how the four-footed smartie works later. What damage can have been caused if my moose (almost) didn’t get anything? Can you assess that?

  • Does anyone know what a new S80 or S60 cost in 1998 (in DM ?) and today in Euro ?

    Is it true that the S80 in 1998 cost about 50,000,– DM ? Does anyone know the price or also the one of the 98 S60 in DM ? Used S80 in good condition with 150,000 KM is today starting from 5,000,- Euro, that would be about 10,000,- DM, i.e. 20% of the then new price, if 50,000,- DM is correct. Today a well equipped S80 costs from 40,000,- b. 50,000,- Euro upwards, that would be a price doubling in 10 years. rapper whose neighbor has bought a used S80. Here another supplement: hab e discovers an old article, where it is about the 1998 V70 XC, i.e. the predecessor of the XC70. there stands among other things: The newest Swede, the V70 AWD Cross Country presented at the last IAA, sees itself as a combination for the terrain. With 49 800 DM, the 2.0-litre variant (93 kW/126 hp) with a solid standard equipment, which includes all safety elements, is the cheapest model of the combination series.

  • Folding glove compartment at the S60???

    After the vibrations in the roof sky, the doors and the middle console are gone, only the glove compartment now claps. It is only in closed condition. I have already tried to fix everything with felt pieces better. The tighter the compartment however closes, the stronger the vibrations seem to me. If the compartment is open, the vibrations are virtually gone. Have somehow thought of that closed from the hand towel compartment in. To do so, however, one would have to expand the whole compartment. Would be grateful for every tip. 60 is really a nice car, the rattle in the interior is however a disaster. Greetings s
