  • XC90 replaces Audi A6 – finally !!!

    Hello, the wait has finally come to an end. My first moose has been there since 16.5.2007 and replaces my Audi A6 3.0 Quattro. It’s an XC90 D5 summum What does it have? – Geartronic – sapphire black metallic – Speed-dependent servo – Airbag front passenger side switch off – integrated child seat – 5-seater (OK, ok, many prefer the 7-seater, but because of more legroom and more storage space – will hopefully not regret it) – laminated glass (super tip from you. Have a Conclusion: is really quieter with laminated glass) – sliding roof – parking aid in front and back (I also have bitterly necessary with my garage)[/list] What else should be pure? – Bluetooth Parrot CK3500 with Kram-Box (hopefully the “gseum-Jürgen” did not forget his red wine reward ) – standing heater (refitting in Venlo or in Strasbourg. Strasbourg is a tip from my friend, has someone already experienced with the French?) – tinting foil (3M or Foliatec, so that my How is my condition? (I am not yet able to do that) Best regards from the new owner Timo (who is constantly looking for n’ reason to move his moose and almost always manages it until the OHL speaks a power word) PS: Will my Audi A6 3.0 Quattro still miss, who has provided me with faithful services. May the Dickelch make EVERYTHING better!

  • the cars of our children …

    Hello to the people, as always, one stands together sociably and it comes to the topic of children and their mobility. I stuck to a remark of a neighbor, which I can not at all share. “The children should earn their own money and then buy a small car, mine they don’t get.” ok, their own money already earns, a small car I can only buy conditionally share, because they belong to the risk group as well as in a panda not good at all I had to give the good man clearly on the way, that I can not share his bent world view. if my son has the feeling, he will certainly drive with my car. no matter where. have the scenario still in sight, when a young from the well-known circle with his newly acquired license and his whole proud (fiat quite small as cabrio) came home after a few days with a pile of scrap. it could have been slimmer. half my opinion: the beginners in “reasonable” cars. now I would be interested in your opinion. johannes

  • It will be an XC90 D5 Sport – no BMW, no Audi

    The day before yesterday I had already announced that we will decide between Q7, X5 and XC90. The Q7 was simply too long and the huge cargo compartment flap bothered us. Now we have tested the XC90 D5 Sport today and were really impressed by the car, as before also by the BMW. But we will take the Volvo. Sure, the X5 has the stronger diesel engine and looks a little higher in the interior. But the Volvo – for our ideas – is a lot variabl It’s better to get on the third row of seats (but even recommended for small people) and you can lay all the seats, even the passenger seat! Our oldest thought that the rich even for the surfboard. At the BMW it would have become tight with our budget of 65,000 euros, at the Volvo we don’t even spend it. But that wasn’t the main reason, as I said, the variability was the most suited to our ideas. So it’s going to be just a Volvo. and no Q7 or X5. Probably it will be an XC90 D5 sport, I liked, liked my wife and the kitts. We could even get the one out of the showroom, full equipment, red. What do you think about it? Ringino

  • S80 – Request for help. List of errors/codes in the attachment

    First of all, I’m looking forward to: I’m from Dortmund and I’m a proud owner of a Volvo S80 2.4 petrol engine with 170hp and approx.160tkm from 1999. (All maintenance intervals were maintained and the car is a checkbook maintained) I’ve already read some threads that I’ve sometimes found very helpful here. Especially this one: http://www.motor-talk.de/…/…overtake-repair-t2835658.html and this one:http://www.motor-talk.de/…/…s-steuergeraet-repariert-t192 3830.html What moves me to open my own thread, which can be read in many of these threads of different symptoms, such as speed drop or expose the cruise control etc.. However, these symptoms do not show my moose. The moose drives quietly, has no start problems, does not go out and also the speed in idle is constant at about 900. Nevertheless, the error messages worry me of course. In the appendix I have the list of the evaluation of the error codes. My experiences In the area of “screwing” are rather small to classify. Alternator off and install, as well as changing bulbs etc. I got gloriously. (Not on this car) Based on the error list, what can you tell me? Should I remove and send in both the ABS control unit and the throttle flap? Please help my sick moose (and me) 😉 Addition: By the way, the whole thing started with the following error: Photo in the appendix

  • Purchase advice V70 2.4D or D5

    Meal. Think about replacing my V50 with a V70. It should also be automatic, since from time to time a horse trailer with 1 horse is to be pulled. And year 2006 So, now I have among other things 2 interesting offers available: 1 x V70 2.4D with 110,000 km and 163 hp 1 x V70 D5 with 99,000 km and 185 hp Which engine is generally better ? The D5 are much more common, or ? How is the life of the two to each other ? So, that’s it. (Search I used, but not found the right one) Thank you in advance and a good start to the new year!

  • Loss of servo oil in the V70

    Hello. Since yesterday I had very strong noises when driving a car or, more precisely, when driving a car.Today I found out that my servo oil tank is empty.So the cause of the noises has been clarified!I went after it a little bit more, so car up and see here: servo oil at the oil tank.Running tracks are to be recognized.Here and there a fresh drop of servo oil.So it runs down from above.However, I can’t see where the oil comes from exactly.To the servo pump I have to So the oil looks significantly older from the clean oil at the running points.So the servo pump sweats a bit, but I exclude it as leak, because the oil doesn’t actually get cleaner on the way down.So my question: does anyone have any idea where the oil comes from? Perhaps the line that runs along the steering side?

  • 2.5T or D5?

    Hello dear moose drivers After a long search for a suitable 2.5T I have not yet been able to discover a real moose of this species for me. That’s why I looked around on the diesel market, because there are much more offers available here. First of all there was the question of whether this is even worth it for me. According to some diesel gasoline calculators the D5 or 2.4D (163hp) is slightly in advantage in relation to the 2.5T. Ride in the year approx. 12,000Km, so not quite But now I have read here in the forum some reports, which advise against the purchase of a used diesel, because the engine could make mute ( injectors, turbochargers etc. ). My budget is about 12.500€, for this you get e.g. an EZ 2005 with 120,000-140.000Km 2.4D DPF Kinetic or a D5 DPF Kinetic. Can you buy such a car without hesitation? From 2.5T I have not heard anything negative here in the forum. Yesterday at the friendly times d Hui, compared to my 850 (106KW) there are worlds!! Of the costs (taxes/insurance/consumption calculated at 60 months) it hardly matters to me whether petrol or diesel. But what about the vulnerability of the two engines to repair?

  • Jump in the bowl (disc)

    Hello guys, I ruined my windshield on Saturday morning. On Saturday morning (10:30) I cleaned the windshield. First a few times with water and detergent, then washed properly. When the soup was rinsed with clear tap water, it was suddenly popping and the windshield was in the ar… . A crack from the middle roof only 10 cm vertically down then 25 cm horizontally to the right (looking from the outside). Even if it was nice warm, it should really be can’t happen. Or ? Can there be ‘Phusch am Bau’ here ? Have an introduction to the friendly one in the morning anyway.

  • V70 D5, he’s here 🙂

    Dear people (from me speaks euphoria), I was on the road practically all day, with all the formalities and now he is at the door. I was lucky and quickly found a suitable car, after which I decided for an almost “full-year-old” V70 Diesel. The important facts: V70 Premium from 06/2002, 198 tkm. + luxury package and HU-803 with surround package (unfortunately not premium ) glass canopy, trailer coupling garage car with a previous owner who car has been car-maintaining Of course he has all the services (200 tkm at 192 tkm 4 months ago), all are in the checkbook and to all there were the invoices with it. All important things like front axle, parking brake jaws, injectors I find again in the repair invoices. So existing defects were fixed or these points were also checked regularly. Still existing defects, called by the seller directly, worn out summer tires (is clear, that is a used car!) and pixel errors in the BC, which I Goodie: practically new winter tires on Volvo-Alu. Tomorrow we go to the local dealer, DPF retrofit and check again, the good one. He tasted 6200.- and the seller also did not want to continue to act, what I can understand with the attention over the years and also very positive value. So, I am Happy, the 350 km return trip went very relaxed and were far too short and the moose thinks that his tank is still enough for 1000 km! annt!!! Best regards, Matthias
