My XC90 clatters That’s not even so unusual in itself!? But now it comes: it clatters even when I’m not in the vehicle I’m in the XC90 clatters it. If I walk away from my XC90, I still hear the rattles!?! And before stupid sayings come: no, it’s not up to me! If I’m on the road with my wife’s car, I don’t have it.

Dear readers! On 05/03 I got the shock of my life. I drove at a speed of approx. 120 kmh from the A61 to the A4 ri. Aachen and shortly before the exit Kerpen the glass from the sliding roof jumped out of each other with a huge bang. Thousands of glass splinters came into the car and just so many ended up by the pressure over the roof at the back of the highway. I had the car well under control and except the horror is no further accident passie rt – which could have been unpacked in such a situation I immediately (exit came after about 1 km) drove out at Kerpen and kept at the best possible position (Aral Tanke). I then called the Volvo Assistance and described the situation. The lady on the phone then sent me to the nearest Volvo car dealership, only a few hundred meters away. Here I was received very friendly and I got a cup of coffee to calm down. The first reaction of the Meisters on the farm (the exact same as later from his own master here in Stuttgart) was that it was ”probably” a voltage error. After the car dealership called the Volvo headquarters in Cologne to get a clearance for the repair and for a replacement car, I was told that Volvo Germany initially rejected every responsibility and a direct damage/cost assumption. An ”internal damage report” should be set up and then one would be asked about this. It was difficult because 3/4 of the glass roof was gone. On closer inspection I had to find out that the glass splinters which jumped outwards had scratched the paint from the roof strongly and a new paintwork is necessary. Also a spare car was not in for me. To the info: I was on my way to an important business meeting in Belgium and had planned the whole week further dates in Benelux…! Reason: Because I did not get to be towed away but the 300 m tr. from the Aral petrol station to the Volvo workshop – in the middle of the glass shaves – the Volvo Assistance does not grip!! This did not mention the nice lady on the phone, however, where she left me the choice to drive myself or to let the towing service come. For me it was important to organize and solve the matter as practical and as fast as possible. So, now but the main problem (after having my own insurance/protection letter after five (!) hours en However, this is not a guarantee condition and not on a legal basis. Reason: This damage ”could” be caused by a rockfall and a design defect is not detectable. For me, the question now is whether this damage is caused by an ext – How can it happen that in one of the world’s safest cars – surrounded by numerous airbags – you can be covered with thousands of glass fragments and where the consequences could have been catasrophal. Why is the sunroof not made of laminated glass like front and side windows? One should bear in mind: Volvo considers the possibility of a rockfall at this point to be plausible and leaning at this point. Then this means a life-threatening weakness in the car. Why does Volvo, after having explained the situation to my own Volvo dealer – Schwabengarage Stuttgart – as a loyal customer (I had to seriously buy the new XC70 in December) so stubbornly?! The damage -about 500 euros for the new sunroof and approx. 800 euros for painting work – is in my opinion in no way an explanation for the loss of a customer and the negative publ However, I expect a certain service and warranty even in bad times and I only want to get paid the actual costs incurred. It does not look like something positive will happen after the last official statement of Volvo Germany. I will have to take over the costs myself (Schiebelach via Teilkasko with excess, painting costs are worth it). I would like to see your reaction to this case. Has anyone ever heard of such a case, maybe there are still possibilities for a solution?! I still have to check if I have a manufacturer warranty. The accident happened 3 days (!) before I had bought the car as a new car two years ago. Kilometer level approx. 98.000. If there is ”only” a two-year warranty, then I would have to prove that a Konstr If a contractual additional guarantee/manufacturer warranty of two years was given then I think Volvo has to take over the costs as a guarantee. Best regards from Stuttgart, Richard

Hello, we are currently looking for a used car with automatic transmission. Of course we also looked at various models from different manufacturers and then arrived at the BMW 3 Series E36. Due to the susceptibility of the Valvetronic which was installed in the engines 316i and 318i from the facelift, we have distanced ourselves from it. Now 2 more vehicles have come into the selection and one of them should be. Here is the selection: 1. Volvo S 60 2.4 140 hp, year of construction: 2001 (model year 2002), KM: 48,000 kilometers, 1st hand, checkbook maintained and accident-free. Price: 7.700 € from the dealer 2. Mercedes C 200 K “Elegance” series W203, year of construction: 2001, KM: 51,000 kilometers, 1st hand, checkbook maintained and accident-free Note: Vehicle is absolutely stainless and already rusted in the NL Wuppertal Price: 8.900 € from MB dealer I have looked at both cars and also checked the vulnerabilities. Both cars also leave behind after the test drive still a very good impression. We would you decide? LG from Duisburg

hello together !!!! first of all sorry…have really spent an hour with the SuFu…but apparently I’m really too stupid…. my previous contribution (additional side without electricity at cold…) is unfortunately still up to date, and for financial reasons first on ice…. but now to my current urgent problem: I’m going home…park my v700II…and my driver window had opened a gap (yes, I’m a smoker…) will close the window when my engine is running… .what happens ? the first attempt is often the case….the protection function activates, and the window goes about 10 down and stops (this happens often, since I always have this “wind protection” on all doors..and the last 10 cm heavier….) the second attempt ended with the fact that I raised the fh switch completely (2nd stage=protection set outside force)….what happened ???? the window goes up first (until about 5-10cm before “stroke” to drive down completely…and…es g no longer high !!!!!! I have tried everything….with engine…only with ignition…. the window remains below !!!! grrrrrrrrr I first helped me to clamp the frost protection foil into the door….but what do I do tomorrow ???? with open window driving…toll….with rain or snow ??? so no shit !!!!!! honestly…so very slowly I have the snoring full of the constant electronic problems with the car !!!!!!! please for quick help !!!!!! must say that I am a myself !!!! I would like to know if someone could contact me by phone… in order to be sure I will leave my i-mehl address a bit ciphered in order to be able to exchange tele.nr by e-mail !! O L 7 3 5 2 5 e t g m x . d e (everything without stand e t=@ — let me say that you have to be careful with e-mail addresses ) hope for quick help !!!! many thanks !!!!! olli ps: only the fh driver’s door is not possible…. all and do it !!!

Servus! I drive a Volvo V70 II from 2005 (kilometer stand: just under 150,000). A few weeks ago the good piece did not start. The Volvo workshop changed the ignition lock and when it was not crowned by success, the “antenna of the immobilizer” was changed (such a funny ring that sits around the ignition lock). Furthermore, another cable, which was allegedly slightly corrided (in the interior?!) from the wiring harness of the ignition lock was re-insulated and connected. In addition, the battery was changed, because the voltage was probably not so great anymore. After that we had about 2 weeks of rest and everything was good. After that the vehicle did not start again. One has to say that with “key position 2” all lamps etc. go as usual (you also hear that a pump starts in the engine room [from the brake power amplifier?!]), but after that nothing happens at all. I then switched off the traction control and the parking distance control and After that he jumped perfectly. Then I drove a few kilometers and turned off the car again. After that the car (with the traction control on and park distance control) jumps perfectly. Since that didn’t leave me alone (and that’s not such a condition), I drove to the Volvo contract workshop (in which I was also at the first problem). They could then “throw” the car (over several hours) without any problem. Only after that did the fault occur. It was then connected to the diagnostic device, which did not spit out any error. Then the starter was knocked on (?!) and then the car jumped on again. Now to my question: Can’t you read a defective starter with the diagnostic device? According to the workshop, it’s not possible… VIELEN DANK! Greetings, Max PS: About 2 weeks ago I replaced the two “number plate lighting bulbs” with 2 LED lamps. Can this possibly cause the error or am I completely paranoid?

Hello I need your help with aluminium rims, because I don’t know about them. We have a Volvo S60 built in 2002 and I’m looking for some aluminium rims for the summer, at the moment there are 16 inch aluminium rims with 205 tyres on it. Now I’m looking for a few aluminium rims for the summer tires, which don’t have yet. In the bay have now seen “ATS aluminium rims type 75710.38.08 “,complete with parts report for 850, V70, S60 etc., is available, there are also 4 Dist anzscheiben plus with longer wheel bolts, can be driven tires from 205 to 235, hole circle: 5×108, ET: 35. JÉTZT my question can I easily mount it on it or must something be changed on the vehicle? Because I wouldn’t have a big desire for that,I would prefer 4 new summer tires on the used rims, mount and finish.

Hello, Would you like to ask if someone already has experience, what you can get for an XC90 D5 Executive with almost full equipment (except sunroof and Blis), 5 years old with approx. 290,000 km on the clock, which has completely got all maintenance done, is very well maintained and also has no maintenance jam or expected repairs (since all expensive components are already new besides engine and turbo). Have now two offers from flying business card dealers, which me 13,500 and 15,000 € respectively Since the car really has almost no optical or other defects (2 small dents and a bit of rockfall), I assume that they turn the tacho by at least 100,000 km back and then collect almost 20,000 € for it. Please don’t get it wrong now, I think this is an absolute mess and also find that everyone who does something like this belongs in jail but you will not listen to it or look at it. Maybe you have an idea if the good report ote are or if there may be something more in it. With Mobile etc. you can not find any comparison offers to this car, because he is relatively young but still has many km. Greeting Michael

Moin, I am more than satisfied with my V70 D5 EZ 02. Now the little one has 260 tkm down. If at some point he should make some quirks (fast knocking on wood) I play with the idea to switch to the XC area. On the one hand we are traveling at least 2 times a year in Finland, of course there also on forest roads, on the other hand I like to go on holiday also to the east (Russia, Balkans). So XC would be good. The SuFu gave me not the right result. Therefore my question to the municipality should I switch directly to the XC90 when the time has come, or does that make much less sense and the XC 70 II (the new one I just don’t think is so nice anymore!) is enough? I would like to add the following points: For the XC90 speaks: In my UAZ I find the increased sitting position not bad. For the XC70 speaks: Lower fuel consumption Perhaps less interest for theft in Eastern Europe ??? Currently we are still two – so 7 seats is not necessary for a long time. I find that the XC90 doesn’t look as deep in the luggage compartment as the V70. Is that really just a delusion? Greeting Thomas – who doesn’t need the decision today, but would like to know what would be if …

Hello…. in my V70/2 D5 MJ06 bought on May 28th, apparently the air conditioning does not work ….. So far I did not really have to use it.. At the WE it would have done already. Despite temperature control at 18° C (for testing) and otherwise ventilation everything on car came only the same air temperature from the ventilation openings when the air conditioning is switched off. I bought the car from a dealer at 350 km distance.. 1 year warranty and warranty. I So to my local, which according to hearsays I guess so that he says without examination “Well sure there is something broken…!” 😉 I just want to avoid that I do something operatingly wrong and then pushed the big wave…. (i.e. contact to the seller/guarantor etc.)… Can you test anything about this? Greeting, Gosar

What do I have to pay attention to when buying? best greetings and thanks for your help silo ps. the elk we’re looking for still has the original cassette radio from volvo in it, can you have it relatively easy and without ugly holes rim amturenbrett permanently nen cd radio install or there are problems, since I see how big the radio with hook in the amaturenbrett is?
