Hello to all XC90 owners, my Volvo dealer said that the XC90 is a pure company car. Individuals would not buy it. Therefore my question to you, is your XC90 a business or a private car? Thank you Best regards Selenum

Hello dear elk community, although I still haven’t managed to set some photos of my XC90 (coming yet, but then right), I would like to ask for your experience. For a good four months I have been driving an XC90 D5 R design. I have now tried out the super diesel variant on the tank more often – and, I imagine, it’s a noticeable extra power there. I know the comparison with a “normal” summum XC90 with the D5 machine, so without sports suspension and double exhaust, the pull-through is much worse there. It could also be due to double exhaust, as I once suspected. However, I suspect rather that the increase of 4% promised at the petrol stations is due to the currently (still) affordable diesel types as Supershell or Aral-Ultimate. Is there any similar experience with the expensive diesel variant? Or is there anyone in the forum who drives a 2009 model as R-design. Thank you very much!

Hello dear Comunity, I am playing with the idea of buying a used S60 and having it converted to gas if necessary. Which gasoline engine is generally the best in the S60 and which one can best be converted to gas? I think a not turbo engine would be the best choice for gas, right? Would that be the 2,4 with 140hp? I would be happy if you would give me a few tips. Thank you!

Hello, I am thinking about whether my next car should be a Volvo V70 D5 Bj 2004 up or an A6 Avant 2.5/1.9 with automatic / multitronic. Audi is of course more dignified by the equipment. However, he has problems with the multitronics. I want to pull my caravan on holiday and make sure that the transmission does not fly around my ears, even after high running performance. Your experiences in this regard would interest me.

Hello, yesterday my V 70 II 2,4D was in the 120,000 maintenance. This is supposed to be a somewhat more expensive inspection, because various things are done, which are only to be done every second or third inspection. In addition, there were two “extra-scheduled” repairs: – new brake pads and brake discs at the rear as well as – replacement of the engine suspension due to wear. I paid a lot of 890 euros. That shocked me quite nicely. Is this okay – or overpriced taking into account all the work done? Especially since I was also dissatisfied with this maintenance for the first time with the whole round. I got an Audi (würg) instead of the promised V 70 as a rental car and for a small problem with two sometimes failed control lights in the display field could not offer any other solution except the lapidary information that one could only exchange the whole combination instrument, which would cost 1200 euros. I said, no thank you. To all evils were also seat and steering wheel so extremely disfigured that I had been used forever to achieve the optimal inspection.

Hello together, From the older posts I unfortunately did not get smart, I hope you can help me. I have the problem since our vacation… If I drive for example on the highway constantly the same speed, the gas goes away at once, only for a small fraction of a second. This about every 10 seconds. I switched off the air conditioning. The same applies even if I drive with the cruise control, no matter at any speed. I drive a S80 T6 BJ 2001 110000 km. Service was made recently. The only thing I noticed were the ABS messages that have been piled up lately…. (But I return to the warm weather 🙂 ) Gruss Umbro

So, this morning it was so far, after my night shift the thermometer in my S60 greeted me with -15°C. Shortly turned on the ignition key and it went on like at +20°C. I think I finally found the right brand for me. Shortly later the thermometer even showed -17°C. I have never been so pleasant in winter. A picture of the snow chute, from yesterday evening I still hang out today. Have fun in the snow! Gruenling

Hello* I would like to add an I-pod to end the chaos with the many CDs. Does one know what it costs to have an ordinary connection to the HU 650 installed. I have read in the previous forums that it is best to run via a USB port so that the playlist of the Ipod is visible in the radio display and can be controlled via the radio or steering wheel keys. Does one know what the installation of a good adapter costs and where it can be done best? A nice rest Sunday

Hello MT’ler, since I’m about to get a company car, I have to separate myself from my V70. However, the following ad has so far been NULL reaction: mobile.de I therefore ask you for help whether I am really wrong with it and what could be improved about the ad. What would you ask for? The price is based on a detailed Schwacke review (dealer-EK: 8,600; dealer-UK: 10,600) Thank you very much, Your James

Evening, the last threads on this topic are already loosely two years old; therefore a new one. Basically I am not a friend of motor tuning and rather leave everything org. The BSR history interests me nevertheless. What about it? In theory, one could buy a doughnut with some people and (provided that the report is correct) have the clamot registered properly. Where is the catch there? I mean, therefore I can almost not imagine that BSR sells many of these boxes – assuming that the customers manage to organize themselves. Who can post his experiences basically on this topic – prefers of course with the 191kw T5 gruß
