Good day, for some time my combination device spins. It started with that I had no indication except km and time (no speed, speed, temp. or indicator lights ). Shortly afterwards the indicators went again, but the message “SRS Airbag maintenance urgently ” came. A little later the indicators remained ( speed, speed hanged and it lit all control lamps during operation. That remained then also after I pulled off the ignition key. Currently is it so that the device works sometimes, and sometimes not. If it does not work I have now acu no indication to km and time. Can someone give me a hint, what this can be and how I can have it repaired cost-effectively ? If possible I do not want to have the combi device changed, since then probably immense costs come to me. Thanks already before……….

Hello guys, I’ve put my Volvo as an advertisement on the Internet for a year now. The vehicle is top from the technical condition and from the outside also maintained. The offer has no catch. I had the TÜV specially made again (remarkable wise had super test values) so that the offer looks more serious and you have to be less afraid to buy a scrap box.Just why does nobody report any more regarding the advertisement??! That the prices are somehow in the basement have And that many are on sale on the Internet, I’m also aware. But how can it be that really nobody is reporting any more? I thought with such a vehicle (from the appearance it already differs from the many others) a few seekers register. Is it the price? Is there a mistake in my text? Are the pictures bad? Is it because I have installed the BSR tuning software and everyone thinks there are now technical errors? Or is it because of the fact that I have installed the BSR tuning software? Is it because of the many previous owners? I hope that I do not violate any forum rules if I link the ad here. I don’t want to make an advertisement here, but only ask if I made a mistake or if it’s because of the KAUFERN, because they don’t want to look at my great car. here’s the ad..Inserat Volvo S60 Greetings, Bill

Hi! I’ve been wondering since I bought it. At the front nothing lit up in the position lights. Safety is ok, so only both pears can be defective. Stupid at Xenon is only that the place there is more than cramped. But for so poppy 1.20€ pears you don’t have to dismantle the entire front now?! And I guessed why the previous owner left this defective. ^^ I’ve already read a post where someone has removed the windscreen wiper water tank and air intake, so the pears are not damaged. Another writes from below could do it, but you don’t know any more. Maybe someone has gained experience and may tell me how to exchange the pears without a ride there? Greetings Achja. EDIT: On-board computer didn’t report any defects. Which seems strange to me. Is the Facelift 2005 and as far as I can see that stuck in the front at least pears. Or do I make myself unnecessary worm and he has no position lights in front? – No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Hello, my new XC90 has been standing in the workshop for 2 days now because of a noise which he has already had since delivery. The following facts : at exactly 1900 rpm when cruising comfortably (i.e. without full speed, but only easy to run), comes a “surr noise” (can’t describe it better) from the back left, which is quite clearly audible. In the workshop they have already taken on everything possible and what goes on and know no more advice. now send a report to Volvo and wait for their answer, what they can do or if a factory engineer comes out to listen to this. Has anyone heard of this and what can it be? It is always only at 1900 rpm and not under load, otherwise not. Greeting Haeken who in the meantime tests the new S80….

In the current Autobild Test&Tuning is a comparison test of the Sweden Combi V70R, MR Sweden V70 T5 and Saab 9-5 from Hirsch Performance. All 3 with manual transmission and rated power of V70R 300 hp, 400 Nm MRS V70 T5 330 hp, 447 Nm 9-5 306 hp, 420 Nm Here are the measured driving performances: 9-5 / V70R / MRS T5 0-100 km/h 7.0 / 6.3 / 7.9 0-130 km/h 10,5 / 10,2 / 12.0 0-160 km/h 14,9 / 15,3 / 17.9 0-200 km/h 23,5 / 26.3 / 30.0 100-200 km/h 16,5 / 22.1 60-100 4.speed 6.3 / 5.7 / 8.6 80-120 5/6.” 9.3/- 6,9/10,1 11,0/- Consumption in liters 12,3 / 13,0 / 14,6 The Saab is, in my opinion, very good despite front drive. The V70 R can only present itself in the passageway thanks to the 6th gear transmission, otherwise it can not drive away the Saab. In the tuned T5 of MR Sweden I am not quite sure whether it is stupidity or impudence to give a supposedly 330 hp V70 for the test, which then presents such miserable values. 5 which were made to create with 32° degrees high temperatures. Only the conditions were the same for all 3. Not very trustful to attract new customers. What do you think about it?

Hello, would like to buy me an XC 90 petrol and then drive with liquefied gas. Have this already in my E39 and am very satisfied. Since I look at the models from 2003, the question arises whether 2.5T or T6. I would like to drive the T6, but the automatic is not quite state of the art anymore. Have now at BMW also a steptronic with 5-speeds. I assume that the in the 2.5T low speed is comparable. How is this in the T6? Are the switching processes also under load gentle? S ind the speed jumps then huge with 4 gears? Do you miss the 5th gear? How is the speed level on the highway? Does the automatic have a converter bridge? Dear 2,5T + PPC tuning? Thank you, Sebastian

moin, moin, I want you not to misunderstand this. I still find the big volvos beautiful, but the delivered quality among all sow!!! my s80 d5 my 2002 with 145 tkm has seen the workshop more often in his last time than me. for a diesel I find 145 tkm not intoxicating much, than that I would say, the car is a case for the press. what is the bad thing that the xc90 of my wife after only 1.5 years also begins. besides the problems we are t the delivery have (piped ventilation, a constantly broken medium compartment and time and again failures of the navis) are now exchanged for the second time the wheel bearings in the rear. the car has only 30 tkm down and is not overly claimed with mostly land road, the first time the wheel bearings were exchanged in the april because from the back such a funny noise came. the technician took almost a gent day to get the rotten wheel bearings. Saturday we were again with the noise in the workshop and the master thinks that they are back again. would be half as bad, because yes kulanz. nice and good, but if bike bearings hold only about 6 tkm I find that worrying!! in addition to that comes the bad quality of the leather. which now already has more traces of use than my old s80 with 145 tkm. we are now peculiarly already so far to throw off this car. until now we were very spoiled with volvo. our old s80 and v70 we always only have to r inspection in the workshop. with my s80 tdi I managed over 300 tkm without major repairs. our v70I and II run at our well-known still 1a. only with our new ones we have only problems. has ford volvo not done as well? as said, we are very disappointed and lose confidence in volvo. I already have a very bad feeling with the d5 machine (163 ps) with heico. greetings sven

Quotation: Original written by Cubs Hello Erstma! I don’t know if they already knew… that the chemical composition of diesel and petrol is so different that the amount of fuel burned by GLEICHER produces diesel significantly more CO2 than gasoline. In this respect, 10l petrol corresponds to about 8.8l diesel. This small difference has the consequence that the C02 balance for the diesel looks worse than the pure fuel consumption suggests. d CO2-equivalent tax, then one would have to tax the diesel 13.2% higher than petrol. On the basis of the data from Esso and today’s petrol price I come to the following invoice (in ct): Superbenzene Product price 46,533 Mineral oil tax 65,450 VAT 17,917 Final price 129,900 Diesel (currently) Product price 51,150 Mineral oil tax 47,040 VAT 15,710 Final price 113,900 Diesel (CO2-equivalent) Product price 51,150 Mineral oil tax 74,089 (1) VAT 20,038 Final price 145,278 (1): Mine ralölsteuer Benzin*1,132: 65,450*1,132=74,089 In order to tax according to CO2 emissions fairly, the car tax for both drive concepts would have to be equal. In this model it is also evident to the layman, when the diesel is more advantageous after the CO2 point of view: If the fuel costs for the diesel are lower than for the petroler. In view of these amounts diesel engines are only significantly later for the user (not the environment), because the lower consumption must All those who read up to this point may have understood it anyway: The contribution is not a “faith thing”, it is not about more or less carcinogenous exhaust gases, fine dusts,… Quite simply about the CO2 emissions of the two drive concepts and a fair taxation derived from it. If this is implemented, then in a second step one can gladly be aware of the harmful effect of the exhaust gases beyond CO2 Many greetings, Rawaho P.S.: Fuels produced from renewable raw materials are not taken into account here, current mandatory mixture to the mineral oil diesel IMHO 5% – this can be calculated as a small exercise itself

Hello guys: I’ve read some threads because of LPG etc. but I’m totally not clear about what/how/where and if I should do it at all. So how about a thousand possibilities. I’m driving a Volvo V70 2.4T with 128TKM and would like to convert it to LPG/Autogas. Now the question is there are differences like LPG and so on. What’s meaningful!? How do the fixtures look like? What would the cost? Where is the best way to do that? Is that even possible with a turbo and doesn’t it hurt? Do you have, like with Bi-Fuel V70 2 tanks that also switch when the one is empty? Questions about questions. Sorry I’m a total beginner can explain this from the ground up. Thanks for some help Jens

Have a new XC90. Horny car. There is only one problem with these Kofphörerconnections in the rear. Have connected headphones, music comes, but can’t choose between stations or titles. Only the music that comes in front of the radio comes. Have already tried all four sockets. Is there a trick or something? Do you have to do something on the radio first?
