Hello, at the moment there are really more V70 diesels (Bj around 2003) offered as turbo-petrols. At the moment there are 200-hp turbos. I drove 140-hp gasolines the other day. Of course no comparison to the power of the transmission. I also drove a diesels ( 163-hp). It went off just like my 200-hp turbo-petrols. But since the turbos with 200 or 209 hp are sparsely sewn, I thought that a diesel would be in question. However, only with green plaquet. el than for 14,000 km / year? Can they have this from the injection nozzles etc..!!???? Every day 13 km work path back and forth (Landstr). Otherwise highway times local traffic, sometimes long distance (over 50 km…). The diesel are really easier to get than the turbo gasoline. And the 140hp – variant is too lame for me and the 170hp petrolers are also not at every corner! If a diesel comes into question, on what should amn pay attention? Year of construction, max. KM performance,etc? Facelift is to me but to te our!!!!! May only cost 12,000. Thank you

Hello forum members, I need new summer tires. Currently 215/55/R16 are mounted. In the registration there are 205/55/R16. The latter are available for approx. 70 euros, the dimension 215 is about 40 euros PRO tires more expensive. Is there a noticeable difference for me as a driver between 205 and 215? Optics differs as a rating criterion! Thank you and greetings, Andreas

Hello moose drivers, have finally found my moose and already a problem. Since yesterday I have an irregular laxing in idle. Today I listened carefully and found that it definitely comes from the area of the valve cover. Thus I tend to assume that it is a defective hydro. Maybe it is only the oil. Because the previous owner probably made the last oil change on 26.06.2010 and let it fill with Shell Helix 0W30 AC n. Now I have an oil change date shortly and ask you if there is the possibility that the clacking is then gone. What oil do you recommend? Below I attach a sound file, in which the clacking can be heard from about 1:06 to 1:10 in the background. In addition, at the end of the file is a beep to be heard, which can be heard when the engine is switched off. This beep comes from the red-marked area on the attached photo. To the beep came shortly after the motor is switched off. What’s that exactly? (Nock wave adjustment?)Soundfile Maybe you can give me some answers. Hope it’s more or less half as bad. Thank you very much for your time.

Moin. My brake discs at the front have a blow, i.e. when I brake at 160km/h, the brake and the steering wheel vibrate, although they are almost new. Has the previous owner changed, but a bill is not available. Well, once off… but what should – you can probably do nothing. I have used the SuFu and found out that one should not necessarily take ATE, is like sparkling wine or Selters. But Brembo seems to be quite good (there is in the bay for 85 E uro ), as well as carpenter or original ( by Skandix ). Which would you take? Did I have to change the coverings then? They are not yet old. They are for a 2001 D5. Greetings Maik

Hello, the search didn’t really get me any further with my problem. Our child seat “Concord Lift” meanwhile – we had to adjust it accordingly in height to the growth of our daughter – in the middle area of the backrest quite different from the back bench because it is on the headrest. Has someone here tried the child seat “Seat cushion with backrest” from the Volvo accessory range? My dealer doesn’t know if the problem exists there. For many tips already thanks. Michel

Hello! I just came back from my holiday in Bavaria. I had to find out on the way out that my S60 is somehow controlled. I ran it over half the distance, i.e. 300 km times with full speed. From Tacho 223 and about 5300 U the engine closed. Even when it went steeply downhill and it still accelerated well, was from 223 jerky end and the needle moved no more milimeter. Are there some models of the S60 with 125 kw motor, which are locked accordingly?

Engine burst at 18000km. Reason: the piston coolant was no longer working with a max. oil draught of 50%, which caused damage to condensing bearings and pistons. The oil draught lamp had not lit, although 4l oil had to be replenished. According to the dealer, the indication of the oil pressure has nothing to do with the amount of oil available. Is this really correct, or does not have to sink even with a significant oil loss the oil draught and thus the control lamp for oil pressure drop on The turbocharger was also destroyed. A parameter recall action took place too late. Wailing contact in the oil pressure control lamp.

Hello, looking for a high-quality car (so far not very satisfied with Opel and Mazda) I have come across Volvo through the BMW Forum. Background is that I would like to have a LPG car that is affordable in maintenance (maintenance/inspection and repairs) and shines with a good workmanship. So far, for opt. reasons, I have not been able to really get along with a Volvo (especially the V70). But the advantage of Bi-Fuel technology is for me a What are your experiences / opinions about the 2.4 (103 KW) Bi-fuel vehicle?? What about the consumption??? Currently, a dealer nearby has a V70 2.4 Momentum as a Bi-fuel with 103KW and 18.300 KM for 24.900 on offer. Is this a good offer? The capacity for the PS number is quite large. Is this rather positive or negative? For tips and aids I am grateful!!

Tach dear VOLVO community, may now call me now also a moose driver. Have given me a S 60 T 5, BJ 01 in graphite-metallic. 280 hp thanks to Heico, double pipe exhaust (Heico), sports suspension, Geartronic, 17 inches, HU-803 … So much for first. Greetings Fox74 P.S. Super Forum, very informative and entertaining

Since yesterday I have been driving XC90 Sport (photos soon), here another technical question. The dealer offered me a full contract service (without tires), cost point approx. 75 EUR per month with a mileage of 80,000km and 48 months. Now my question: What are the workshop costs for the car? What do the inspection costs and what other repairs are to be expected at 80,000km? I am not sure if the conclusion is worth it, after all you pay 900.00 EUR p year.
