Hello, short to my previous story: After an Audi A6 2.7 V6 Biturbo hand switch Quattro I drove a V70 D5 hand switch Facelift. Since my work path amounts to only 3km (mountainy) I am again looking for a petrol engine. This work path is also covered in good weather rather by bike or on foot. As a driver type I would say Normal but I like to overtake reserves. My AB speed is usually so at 150-180 if the traffic allows. Just the short distances to work are a bit of a concern. I have already read through a few threads. Therefore, for me it is already answered that it should become one of the models mentioned in the title. Only the decision is missing which exactly. My annual driving performance amounts to about 15-17tkm from time to time with about 1t on the hook (only on fixed paths). First decision automatic or hand switch? I Although they like to drive automatics, Audi has not had a good long-term experience with the ZF Tiptronic. The problems started at 160tkm. Despite transmission oil changes at 100tkm You can hear many different opinions about the Volvo automatics. From (to) weakly designed to last forever. Are there different transmissions here? Which are recommended. On the subject of AWD one hears about problems with the angle transmission. This is increasingly the case with the XC90. And with the V70 from the facelift probably an e Reinforced version should be installed. Does this apply or should one rather keep distance from the AWD if in case of doubt if not necessarily felt necessary? Since we still have a 09 Focus ST in the family I can say that I actually get quite well with this despite pure front drive. With the engine I have read that the 2.5T probably has some thin cylinder walls and there are sometimes thermal problems. Is the T5 of the durability the advantage to grant? e question about the AWD. Or is there the high pressure turbo more susceptible again. Since I had various problems with oil leaks with the A6 the question is there well-known problems with the above mentioned engines? In addition I could not find much in the forum fortunately except with the diesel. Ne VDD or so I don’t care however, for example at a place for which to decompose the half engine for gasket change I would like to avoid. But I hope you can help me make the decision.

Hi, because my V 70 D 5 (185 hp) has become a year old today, I gave him an inspection at KM 30.450. I drove him to the workshop almost on time at 8 o’clock at the “Friendly” in Dorsten. First I discussed with the master what I wanted to do in addition: clean the brake calipers and then mount the winter bikes, maintain higher xenon adjustment and change window seal at the back left. After a coffee I got a uf set a tyre stack and watched the fitter at work, was really instructive. In addition to the normal maintenance scope, the rear exhaust clamp was rusted and repainted. Otherwise, the underbody including axles etc. simply looked great, not to recognize a spark of flying rust (I am used to from the Toyota Land Cruiser completely differently, since after a winter everything was rusty). The rear window seal then changed the master together with the fitter. At about 10 o’clock the inspection was finished with a test drive and the car was washed. At 11 o’clock I was able to start the return trip. Costs (without VAT !!): – Wage : 142,50 € – Filter insert: 12,49 – Seal : 1,19 – Multi Filter : 50,85 – Waste oil disposal : 14,30 Complete with VAT : 256,74 € plus oil delivered (Alpin 0W-30 Longlife II A5/B5) 46,60 € (ohn) e VAT.) I think that this price is probably quite ok. Otherwise the moose is absolutely free of clapping and crackling and still looks like load new. Greetings, cruiserland

just come from the bakery and there my neighbour happily waving past me. I then also gesticulated wildly back and took the curb with the rear wheel. was at a parking bay, so completely over. to luck with us in the play road at speed 20 (yes, you can not drive 20). the same happened to me before 2 weeks with the front axle, this had to be adjusted then. now my question: is the rear axle less sensitive than the front axle or should I go back to being friendly to be presumptuous? johannes also I make mistakes

Hello people, after my moose was first registered 3 years ago, is due in March 2009 TÜV and ASU. With such a great car, barely 3 years old, yes no reason to worry. But it started well – a Fzg with the key number (0444) should not have been allowed in 2006 at all, since for all from 1.1.06 Euro 4 is prescribed. After the whole TÜV team had dealt with the problem and me the comments (call the KBA, he would have never admitted (The dealer with whom I bought the car has meanwhile filed for insolvency) it was found that on the EEC conformity certificate (great word) an exemption is registered. Puuhh. Then it finally went to the car, starting with the ASU – OBD plug in, ah what we have there, a mistake has been done so the topic has already been read out. : P0 571 Tempomat brake switch ies A and under : “Emission-relevant errors” booked Why this runs under exhaust gas, nobody could explain to me, the guys also did not want to, because the system only because of the error refused the plaque. Everything else, which is usually so tested, was o.B. well, Euro 75.– paid, follow-up will then also cost again (+ every time 20 km easy) Before I go now, the question to the specialists – what can this be ? Sensor at the brake pedal ? Problem with afterwards in built diesel particle filter ? Had only 1x, so about 6 weeks ago, an error message in BC (BAS – maintenance required), which however again evaporated by itself. Greeting Edgar – grateful for assistance

Moin Volvo- (and above all: natural gas species) species, I have problems with my S 60 Bi-Fuel Automatic: It went off to the intersection while rolling, throttle valve cleaned, runs again. Idle is very low, so it almost runs out, despite new candles and pressure set at the pressure reducer. Now sporadically the engine lamp goes on. When driving I don’t notice anything at all. The Volvo lashes well and runs well. One small thing: it jerks when “cruising” (speed between 1700 and 200) 0 Tempo 70-100) I’ve been around the Volvo Workshops here (there are only two!) and they all seem somehow helpless… The fault memory does not show any error, so the computer will turn off the engine lamp again and well! My S 60 is a Frenchman from Belgium and is equipped with an NECAM natural gas system from factory. If someone has had the same problems and can give me tips or call a competent natural gas vehicle workshop (what a word) in the Umk Reis Mannheim / Karlsruhe / Waghäusel? Merci Greetings from Nordbaden SAKBM

Dear “Elchgemeinde” (a farewell speech with a new beginning) ! Those who have followed my contributions a little, know that I think our XC90 is so to speak unchaputtbar and that our moose has been reliably spreading driving pleasure for almost NEW years. It looks like new (we say almost like new) and throughout the whole time there were, except inspections, only workshop visits to the tire change, to the TÜV, once the instrument had to be exchanged and once someone smashed me the bumper. In addition, my better half five years ago in the parking garage on a pillar scratched the driver’s door and since then it said: “We don’t need such a big car! – What is basically true, because we are now pensioners. But which “smaller” successor car is suitable for someone who drives an unchaputtable Volvo XC90? When the XC60 came out, I thought, now eats so far, that is the “smaller” successor car for our “big”. But thought. t my loved one said: “This is not much smaller – we should buy a Qashqai! Because her golf friend has a Qashqai+2 in whose trunk our 2 golf bags plus 2 golf trolleys would fit in – unlike in the Tiguan or X1 or Q3 or GLK – because they are all too scarce. And the trunk is a k.o.-criterium for us. So we decided four years ago to take the following step: As soon as the oldie XC90 shows the first flaws, he gets away and we get a Qashq ai+2. But our XC90 didn’t get any cocks, he remained unchaputtbar and I remained loyal to him until about 3 weeks ago. Then it was time. Then this Southeast European contemporary in the Aldi car park spoke to me: “Beautiful car you have – what does it cost?” He gave me his card and said: “I’ll call you tomorrow. I called my Volvo friend, I just wanted to know what I could achieve for the XC90. If I would buy an XC60, he wanted to give me 11,000.00 euros. And I should take into account that a set of new tyres is due, that the timing belt has to be replaced shortly, that the rear hubs and the track bars are no more effective, that an inspection is pending and the TÜV is due. And after all, the right door is painted and a new bumper on it. I calculated briefly and knew, if I do not sell now, I have cost in the foreseeable future of about two thousand beeps. I browsed again briefly on the Internet and noted 11 .000,– would be a decent price. Well – I think, should the South East European come back, I go once with 13,000,- as a negotiating base in the deal. After a few days the call came and then he stood with a transporter with trailer at our door and waved with a envelope full of bills: “Everything real euro. Can you get checked at the bank. We went to the savings bank, the money was real. There were fourteen thousand and five hundred euros in the envelope. I swallowed briefly, fetch The man bought cars “on order,” as he said, and at the moment he was looking for Volvos: “XC90 nothing broken,” he said, “well asked in the east.” I was still driving to the registration office, we signed off my moose together. That was a good 2 weeks ago. I guess my moose is somewhere in the Orient by now. And my loved one said, “Now we buy a Qashqai+2.” the comb, we just had to drive a few days with the Suzuki Splash my wife to golf. No, the story goes quite differently! It was fast no Qashqai to get at all. 6 months delivery time on the car, as I would have wanted it. My Volvo dealer , who sold Land Rover at the same time, had an idea: „Take the Range Rover Evoque ! We even did a test drive, but it didn’t matter, because the trunk was too short for our golf harness. Now please don’t show me “a bird” because we choose a car for golf harness! “What kind of car is this?” asked my wife and pointed to a compact SUV with a sleek design and dark panoramic roof that stood in the parking lot of the petrol station next to the Volvo dealer. It was a KIA – model Sportage 136 hp diesel. The owner sti We loaded our golf luggage and our trolleys into the trunk of the Kia – well, everything went well, not even the rear seats had to be folded. We sat in the car, my wife was thrilled – I was rather skeptical: “KIA ?” (again: “KIA ???”) “If you take a sport, said the happy-looking Kia driver, “then they better take the diesel with 184 hp engine, which exists since the beginning of October. It is built in the beginning of October. In the evening I went to the motor talk forum and clicked through the KIA topics. But for the 184 HP High Power Diesel there were hardly any experiences, only various orders with 6 months delivery time and more. But I found on the internet a dealer who had one in the showroom – not 30 KM away from home. The next day we were at the KIA dealer. There he stood, 445 cm long, 185 cm bre it, white, 18 inches on it, dark panoramic roof, leather seats, AWD automatic, rear-view camera, warning beep, xenon, LED daytime running light, seat heating,184 hp – all standard (only the automatic 1000,00 Euro surcharge). “For the first time in life after almost nine years Volvo I sit in a KIA!” Processing seems ok, cockpit pleasantly styled, used materials however not as high-quality as in the Volvo, but the plastic parts skillfully designed… New vehicle – still to have (with new The test drive brought the decision. Agile car, the 184 hp engine was just the right one, not a turbo hole, inconspicuously switching automatic at the right time. Chassis not as comfortable as my XC90. I don’t want to rave too much of the car now, because it still has to prove if it could keep up with our “uncaputable elk” in the long run. A certain skepticism remains, but the car gets its chance. That the price list ends where it only just starts with other so-called “premium providers” – and that there has been a proper estate. One thing Rolo has to do, however: the moose-like “climbable passenger seat”. So this is the farewell story, as the convincing moose friend Rolo has come to a completely different car. But will remain connected to the moose forum. Rolo

For a few days now I have had an OBDII interface with Bluetooth and additionally OBDscope on my mobile phone. I can read out some values and stumbled over the value air mass. This fluctuates with my S60 2.4 between 150 and 650 g/s – no matter if idling or full throttle! The value twitches very strongly and occasionally drops sharply (e.g. from 500 times to 20, then again to 600, etc.). The other values I can read with the tool all seem plausible and my laienha In my opinion, this is fine. Therefore, the question now arises whether this fluctuating value of “air mass” indicates a defective LMM? Can anyone help me?

Hello dear people, I’ve been hopping over from the S/V40 area to you here. Have been driving a V40 for a few years, but now it’s too small because of new generation etc. So I need a big station wagon, and that’s where the V70 literally pushes me. However, I miss practically all the basic information: – When were the model changes? I am interested in the price for years of construction about 2000-2004. Is it true that there were models before 2000 with the 2.5TDI, which was also installed in the Audi? – Which engine? I drive about 30-40000 km a year, a lot on Polish roads, where some power reserve for overtaking is also a safety factor. (My V40 2.0T leaves hardly any wishes open that I have to make cuts there, is already clear to me) – In other words: Better a diesel, or rather a turbo-engine? – Are the petrol engines possibly gas-proof? I would then like to install an LPG system if necessary. – I haven’t looked at a special car yet, but quite general: What should I pay special attention to with which models? Rust is certainly hardly a topic, have I already read with problems with the front axle? I would be very grateful for any hints and tips.

Hello As a newcomer, I have been driving an XC 70 2.5T Mod 2005 for 5000km. I would like to inform myself about summer tyres. Which tyres would you recommend. I value comfort, little running noise and good profile for wet conditions. After the snow next Wednesday there is still some rain and then I hope to come to spring. I want to know which summer tyres I should buy. Lbg bambus6
