Hello guys, have given me a V70 2,4 T with everything possible ( used year 2001 ) The car is great. But one question remains. In order to bring the 200 hp on the road it takes a little feeling, which is not always so easy however. Despite DSTC the tires spin already once when driving on the mountain. However, I have become stunned and have given some real gas. IT DOESN’T DISCOVER. My question is does the car actually have a traction control ??????? A I actually assumed that when it comes to the equipment, or it doesn’t work. (Guarantee) Ask for lively answers. thank you Mica…

Hello, I’m about to make a decision about the winter tyres. At the moment, drive with 205/55 R16 summer tyres (Volvo 200PS). In the Volvo book it says: ‘We recommend winter tyres of the dimension 195/65 R15 , but not for vehicles with turbo engines. For these we recommend 205/55 R16. Why? Is it about speed? What should I do to save money when buying winter tyres? I drive almost no in winter. Are there different (cheaper) tire widths for my rims? Size? Can I put 195 instead of 205 on my aluminium wheels? Is it really cheaper to buy any tires on steel wheels? Is it worth investing in the cheapest manufacturers or spending twice as much money on Conti or the like? (if you drive very rarely in winter and only city and actually never during snowfall?) Thank you for your tips Greet everyone! Siko

Quotation: Autohaus Schmalz announces insolvency The scrapping premium apparently demands a first economic victim in the Hochstift: Schmalz AG in Paderborn has filed for insolvency. After 19 years, the Volvo and Kia dealer had to take the bitter course to the district court. As a reason, the only Volvo dealer in our two circles indicates the extreme price drop in high-quality used cars. Schmalz AG thus suffered significant value losses in the last 5 months. D It is precisely the period since the scrapping premium was applied. And as we know, it was more likely to have used small car dealers. Quotation: Volvo Environmental Offensive with New DRIVe Models Seven diesel models with DRIVe technology achieve class-best CO2 emissions – Compact and mid-range models with start/stop system and brake energy recovery – New diesel engine for Volvo XC60 and Volvo XC70 For more information on this topic, please visit the Volvo media site:https://ww w.media.volvocars.com/go/…2748-488d-b610-7ec06a062b3.aspx

Hello guys, I took over my 2nd V70 (2007 model) in the summer. He no longer has the “normal” front wipers, but the new flat wipers (without the metal bars). These things are supposed to last longer and better and what else do I know… My experience so far is exactly the opposite: The first set was so worn out after 4 months that there were many, many Schlieren (thought out comment:–> Well, was a hot summer with lots of fly glues on the disk). So before v The things for Volvo in the normal car accessories were only on order or not at all, so 55 thalers left with Volvo. Now the sh…things “slurry” again (after 4 weeks (!) like devils. Yesterday on the train – speed 160, more spray than rain. Must run wipers on stage 2, because they do not really plant and almost brought away nothing more. I renewed the old wipers 1x before the winter and 1x after the winter; it was done. Well, well, that’s it. good: At “high-speed” (180 KM/H + x) the old ones were actually louder. But for that they remained on the disc. What do you think, I can demand in the context of the GW the re-resetting to the old wiper arms, since the systems are apparently NOT compatible. M.E. are these “flats” not traffic safe !!! Or can there be something wrong ? How are your experiences ? LG Walter

Hello, just when surfing around found a picture on a Russian website that probably shows a S80 or the new V70 combi????????? But I can’t find any Russian. Here’s the link:http://www.unian.net/rus/news/news-169368.html Maybe it’s still interesting. Sorry if it’s an old hat. Thorsten

Hello, I’ve finally decided to let my new one, when he is there, also have this miracle stuff. A practical question about Liquid Glass: What does it look like with new vehicles? Must or should you let the new paint evaporate even further or can you seal it immediately? Maybe there is also something in the instructions about this stuff!? Would be great if someone could help me here.

Hello together, a supplier offers an XC90 (no import) via a brokerage business to a Volvo dealer with an attractive discount (approx. 16%). Since my trust even after exploring various possibilities wanted to offer me only a discount of 9%, I now seriously consider the brokerage variant. Regardless of the specific provider, I would like to know in general whether/what kind of experience you have made with a brokerage business or what you can beac (The VAT problem at the turn of the year is clear to me. However, I was obliged to deliver at the end of the year.) Thank you for your help, if necessary also to PN. Greeting Ralf

Hello moose drivers so now it has happened, after 12 years Volvo I said goodbye to my last moose. Were good years, but now it was time to look a little different. I bought a VW Golf V R32 for the winter. Funny car with very good Automatic (DSG) or so similar. Think about getting a Passat R36 in Sommmer. Well, I will drive around in MB and VW Forum in the future. Had a lot of fun in the Moose Forum and will read it again, could still be an In Trassant moose come, but until then “Have fun with your moose.” Greetings Günther

Audi opponents have upper water: the Audi Q7 has cut off modestly in the current EuroNCAP despite proud prices and lots of sheet metal. It was enough only for four stars. Details are available here! Again a proof that the old saying “A lot helps a lot!” does not apply to accident safety. The XC 90 was better after the measurements already in 2003 than the brand new suburban tank of Audi. reports the Ostelch

Pictures S60 D5 m. Heico Chiptuning and double exhaust Evening Together, finally it’s time: have now equipped my S60 D5 with the Heico Chiptuning and the double exhaust. I really didn’t think it would matter so much, but the car can hardly be recognized by the driving behavior!! The driving behavior is much more liquid and quieter and the torque of almost 400NM push a quite nice into the seat! To this the double exhaust looks only noble and sporty, so the 2200 Euro not a meter, every euro was worth it here and I really can only recommend it to everyone!!! What really defied me is the front grill, which costs at least almost 300 euros!! I sent it back, because I think that the original cooler looks better after all. Pictures below!! Gruss DJELLOUN
