Hello Volvo municipality, I think about buying a good used XC 90 2.5 t. That would then be an all-wheeled car. My question is, do I need there in our widths (Düsseldorf), actually winter tires or is that so with the bit of snow? If winter tires, then on extra rim? Are there any such large steel rims? What do you do there? I am now of course riding on the S40 winter tires, but is also not an all-wheeled. The new would be used by Private 1.Hand and would have 30000 km down. I think this is a reliable car. Thank you very much for your tips and information.

Good evening together, I’m currently driving my third V70 (currently 2.4D Edition Sport, EZ 2007, Geartronic, Heico pushes a little bit and tries to turn the horsepower wandering around in the Geartronic into a tunnel…) and have been mentally walking with a new XC90 “pregnant”.. A “real” Volvo will probably not give any more and it has just sooo much space… Now the question: What is the right time to become concrete? Wait for the new price list 04/2010 to look whether there are more sugars besides the edition version? Better leasing or purchase (by myself), because the value of a 3-year-old XC90 seems to be about 0….? Is someone about to buy an XC 90 from you? What are “usual” conditions at present? Please listen to me. Greetings from Bayern MG

Has anyone experienced how and if you can connect an Ipod to the HU-603. Have the IceLink system from Dension and it was connected by the Vertargswerkstatt – get in the pipe of the alternator etc.; despite throttle etc. Now the VK of the IceLinks advised me to use the second antenna connection of the HU-603. Does this have?? And do I need an adapter?? Would be grateful for any help.

has someone experienced with the air filter kit from BSR?http://www.bsr-tuning.de/products/4900705/

Hello, does anyone know if the Volvo emblem can be changed separately in the steering wheel? Or does the whole airbag have to be replaced? Thank you very much. LG, Nordisk.

Hello Vikings, I saw recently with a S60 chrome-plated exterior mirror, which was mounted instead of the normal plastic cover (or additionally about ??). Does anyone of you know where you can get something like this ? My all attempts on Google etc. were unsuccessful. Greetings Joe P.S. It is with the newer move, but from the 2005 model year the mirror design was changed. I would like to upgrade my 2001er.

Dear Volvo fan base and experts, for two months now, I’ve had it, my first Volvo, a V 70 II, Premium, 2.4, with 170 hp and automatic, built in 2003, only 45 Tkm, condition, as new. Before I was probably driven almost only city and short distance. Therefore I decided not to demand the good piece of power at the same time, but to drive it practically again. Now I have the feeling, however, that it falls very strongly on motorway ascents (I know he is t heavy..) and does not really want to go beyond 3500 tours, even if I give more gas. After that I have the impression, as if it runs less round, takes rough gas and switches (only impression…?) and gets even more difficult on tours. For about a week, the speed, when it goes into idle, goes on about 500 tours at short notice to stabilize itself after about 800 tours. Is this normal? Who can explain this? Would I be happy about some hints. e

Hello! I’m new to the forum and this is my first post. After I found a lot of interesting things, I couldn’t solve my problem yet. I lived in the USA for 5 years and bought an XC90 there in 2005. This one went back with me to Europe after my stay abroad in Michigan had ended. The car has a full equipment and also the Navi with RTI DVD. I still had the US version in my DVD shaft and now I have an actual the Volvo “Road and Traffic EUROPE”. Navteq Mpas, VCC Part No. 31326246, 1122 Disk C, Part. No. T1000-18139. The DVD could be read by my Navi. A yellow bar appeared the first time and lasted about 3 min. – then the Navi recognized my position and I can search, enter and navigate targets. Unfortunately, I don’t get any language commands. I can probably set the sounds of the Navi in the menue (you can also listen to the voice in English with LAUTER, LEISER etc.), abe I asked the Volvo Haendler, he wants to sell me a new DVD player…. That’s certainly only a firmware thing. After I can only choose English (US) and Spanish, I think that the US firmware is still on it. I don’t need a German voice output – I’m also satisfied with English. But if the Navi doesn’t talk to me at all, it gets boring. Who can help me? I certainly don’t want a new Navi or DVD Gera et kaufen. Thank you very much for the support.

Hello together I wanted to know if the S60 R has any typical flaws? Generally, the S60 flaws would be interesting. I once heard that the transmission should be a weak point on the R. Is that so? Does the vehicle have timing belts or control chain? If timing belts, what is the interval?
