Grüezi Volvoristi Have been having problems with the built-in phone for a long time. Some of you know it “Please wait”. So far so bad…. Yesterday I now assumed that the telephone control panel, along with the driver’s seat adjustment, is installed with memory under the driver’s seat, this “plug unit” (there are several plugs to each other) disconnected. Logically, at the moment, it is not possible for this plug unit to be the phone. ?!? Still “Please wait n” so plug unit re-installed. As far as so bad…. leg turn on the ignition the error message “”Airbag maintenance Urgent “”. So the said plug unit seems to have something to do with the airbag, I think. Think further, that I can delete the message according to procedure MT Forum again. Far missing, all previous attempts to delete the error message failed. ???? The plug bar is in its place, has apparently with airbag what on the hat or is it possibly still the E Telephone control?? Anybody knows advice. Greeting Hansjörg

V70 D5 AWD Momentum + Technologiepaket + VSG-Scheiben + AHK + HU650+250W… After the first 1000km here is a report of experience, which results mainly from the 60tkm with the predecessor: Processing: Nothing is crackling yet, (except the folding bottle holder at the back of the center console) The “feeled workmanship” is at least very good. The aluminium immitate is not my thing, but momentum completely without “adornment inlays” did not exist. Motor I am absol The turbo-bum doesn’t suddenly drag at the steering wheel, the starting weakness is much lower – no revolution, but an absolutely appreciable evolution. The sound is a different one, but later on. On motorway rides beyond 140km/h, the revised machine (of course VSG and 6Gg not to be ignored!) is a distinct class quieter. Gearbox Very good! Short distances, smooth and crisp. 1. is extremely short designed, is logical in view of the AWD, but in urban traffic one is considering whether one should not start at the same time. Nevertheless – a clear quality jump! Drive I have to say in advance that I only know 4WD from the following vehicles: GAS69, P3, UAZ, SIL, KAMAS, Jeep Cherokee 4.0 TD, A6 3.0TDI Quattro The first 5 we let aside, even the old Cherokee does not fit here. Compared to the current A6 the new Haldex generation (“Instant-Trak I couldn’t tell any difference. [@emkay: I know that this would look different in continuous operation, because the Torsen middle differential is certainly better…) I drove almost into every snowweed that was waiting for me on the roadside, accommodating vehicles extremely amiable to the snowy field, stopped at the mountain in deep snow mud on cobblestones – and I just drove off again as if nothing was going on! (Do) very well beat – I couldn’t notice any difference. Rt with the old one only with cramped hands and in any case „with swing got up!) How nice that there seems to be no more winter service with us. Even my OHL said in the first driving attempt: „He drives really crisp, everywhere and does not slip any more!! ” suspension I had long between 4C, level mat and the now ordered conventional, but “tuned to dynamics ” suspension (in the D5 AWD series!) fluctuated. The difference is clear: Weni The A19 has a few more bumps – I would still choose to drive very fast and safe and still not uncomfortable. Steering Jujuh! I’m back in my favourite parking space in one stroke! Apparently I also had the smallest possible impact limiter in the old age on the 16-wheels – but it was the absolute horror! What a relief and now the length of the car is quite appropriate. Thank you, Volvo! Consumption same distance n, same driving mode (a lot of cruise control) – the extra consumption is between 0.2 and 1.2l. Should this decrease by 1 – 2l after the end of the ominous start-up mode, I am absolutely satisfied. Maybe the extra weight of the AWD and the 6th gear are balanced especially on the BAB. No reason to complain so far, but I also hope that it will be even less after a few tkm. Inside / Other The VSG side windows are pleasant, but their effect is not the noise (even though what the The HU650 is not sooo much worse than the HU603 thanks to the additional amplifier, but it still has to be optimized at the EQ. Is it actually normal that the station keys are not illuminated? The seats are, say, different. Something smaller and the adjustment mechanism (ratchet) also not so well solved, but still acceptable. For me, the bar is extremely pleasant. Rkere tilt of the headrests, so overall I like the new “seat concept” even a little better. Dito the distribution of the center console. The tank is by the way about 10l smaller than the old one, probably thanks to AWD. Xenon I have never driven Xenon myself before, thanks to MT I had the setting set right at the legal maximum light range at hand. Nevertheless: If I had not wanted the PDC absolutely and thus could take the technology package, I would Xenon probably rather order because of the slightly higher resale value. But I do not notice any deterioration to be read here often (abrupt end of the light cone, etc.). But it is a reflector system, the lens systems of other manufacturers are certainly still quite different to judge. Conclusion: good light, but not superior to the old worlds. A deterioration, however, is the effectiveness of the NSW – I can only see by the indicator light, whether it is on s Ind – the light output outside goes towards zero. Conclusion after 1000km: The family is happy, the decisions seem, thanks also to the help of many MTlers in November at the “public procreation”, to have all been right! Yippih! Uff, so much for once, maybe this is helpful to one or the other in his decision making – a nice evening wishes the – manatee Two small wormwood drops at the end: the bigger one regarding the engine first: I have the feeling, mi The old one had this at 2300rpm (if I remember correctly), where the KAT holder was changed. Who of the drivers of the new D5 knows this or does not know this explicitly? (So that I know if I should go again – or make myself ridiculous. Then: Sometimes after getting out, it stinks in the back (more left) like after a burned clutch / hand brake. I tend to observe that it then breaks up. tt, if I needed the AWD before, could not verify this yet – is that the Haldex and, if necessary, at the beginning or at all completely normal??

Hello, today it was unfortunately the first time: my XC70 didn’t start any more. The starter was running, but it wasn’t enough that the engine jumped. I had minor problems in the last few days; he always jumped very reluctantly, but at least he jumped still. Shortly after the call to my , who took care of my problem very well, the technician from the ADAC came with his tow truck and looked at my problem. All the fuses were in Ordnu After he had pulled off a hose in the front of the engine compartment and sprayed a kind of contact spray (?) into the opening, my moose also jumped after a long time of starting. In his report the technician noted that the speed impulse was too weak. Now I drove to mine and got a rental car there (Audi A3 TDI, Sportback). The whole thing will probably cost me nothing, because in this failure the mobility g arantie (1000-day guarantee) will grab. Let’s see how long the repair takes.

Today I noticed it once again, when I was driving a cigarette turning over the highway, the phone rang (my FSE is still defective) and I had to clean my nose: YOU CANNOT NEED THE XC90 WITH THE BEING LENKS!!! The steering wheel is too high, or by the sitting position with the knees not so easily reachable. In addition, there is the shape of the back, which makes you not able to find a reasonable hold. The steering wheel wreath can not be reached, so that you can use the Kni The only thing that comes to this strange, conical inward, running spokes. That must not be with such a car, especially not in the price range greeting Martin Who always wanted to get rid of it.

hello — someone knows if there are the stepping boards of the new xc90 sport also for the “normal” xc 90 mj07 ??? or are there similar in accessories ??? thanks for your answers

Before that, I had asked this question before. But I am now one step further. As before, my speed is only 200-205Km/h with 210 hp. After the last answers, this is about the speed that all 185 PSlers reach. I was now at Heico in Datteln (is integrated at Digitec) on the dynamometer. And look, he has an enjoyable 215 hp. So far so good, but he still hasn’t got any faster. The extremely friendly master now said it could be at the LUFT. MENGENMESSER lie that it is not so fast. He will order the part. Now I ask you: What is the connection between air flow meters, existing power on the test bench and maximum speed. Thank you for your answers

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

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 !!!!
