Meal, has someone fitted the Volvo badger spoiler to his V70? Is that a lot of action? Can you do it yourself with “average” homework skills, or should someone do it from the compartment…? Is it fixed to the flap with four screws. How is it with the rust protection? Thanks for the info! Didi

Moin, with my elk V 70 D5 EZ 02 248 tkm still have the following problem: From about 80 km/h vibrations occur in the steering wheel as well as the entire body. I took my elk out of the workshop last Friday. The reason was the problem. The workshop has already done the following: bushings transverse handlebars replaced, wheels balanced and sauce dampers changed behind. The vibrations were also less. However, I now have the feeling that they increase again. I drive each and every one of them. tomorrow the same road, so I can turn off different lanes as a cause. Also yesterday I checked the wheel nuts again – all firmly. Does anyone have an idea for the cause? Well as bad as in my second “car” it is not yet, but pleasantly neither.

S80 EZ 2001 hello people, I have to expand in front of the electric driver’s seat because of troubleshooting in the electric adjustment. can I just release it by loosening the mounting screws on the floor and lift something to the rear / maybe also tilt a bit sideways. …. (clearly pay attention to cables) and that without that the airbag triggers !!! my question serves only the caution to avoid harm. electric I know otherwise 😉 has already done this already?

Now that I have expressed myself on several occasions to the excessive consumption of fossil fuels of my thickness, but I have not received any suitable solutions for my problem, I once went into me during a snow excursion. Would it be possible to expand the cardan shaft ? This would also turn off the drive of the rear axle – and thus all moving parts – in addition to the weight saving . Do I need a SW-Update ? What would that cost ? en Efforts in relation to saving ? Please help me. Greetings Torsten

Hello! Since there are already various pictures of the coming V70-III to see and the reactions to the new rear are usually very negative (also with me), I have made the effort to design some corrections of the rear. There are altogether 3 slightly but clearly different proposals, which change the rear part – as I find – at the important places. Overall the rear part of the new V70-III does not look so Japanese and Volvo untypical anymore, however already What do you think about the corrections, which version do you like best? Is there possibly a way to inform Volvo (or better Ford?) about it, even correcting the rear before the start of production? (I don’t believe in the latter, but Volvo should see the reaction of his (still?) fans that the V70-III was not necessarily designed optimally …) I would at least like to see it, so w he he is probably built by Volvo, not buy. Long live Volvo (V70-II) ! Robin Here is the picture 1 (picture 4 = Uncorrected)

Wetre readership, I am currently considering the purchase of a used V 70 II with the 163 hp D5 diesel. I read more frequently in used car displays of this type of replacement engines and replacement drives (also for switching drives) which gives me the impression that the carrots do not manage 100,000 km easily. For example, has Volvo left the solidity of the V70 I or am I wrong and the V 70 II is a good car? Maybe you only read out the bad and regi Is there anyone among you who (perhaps by working at Volvo) can tell me something about this? Thank you Henning

Today I am with a little louder music through the city, because on my own, otherwise my kiddis always sit with me, so that I have not noticed the following evil. Why does not the radio or CD at the insertion of the reverse gear stop silently???? Even a small reduction of the volume is not really to be heard when inserting the reverse gear. At a volume reached from the half of the display, one hears the beepers of the return warning so well wi It’s amazing how you can get used to such small electronic aids. Is there any remedy? Software update or similar…except to reduce the volume?? It’s amazing how you can get used to such small electronic aids.

Hello dear Volvo municipality, I absolutely need some advice – because the topic at the moment does not leave me rest, the workshop was also baffled. Therefore I turn to you! And this is the error description: If you steer with the moose during the ride ! (curves, estuaries – no matter) then sometimes it smiles (!) (or KNARZT) The steering wheel is not fully hit, it rather occurs shortly after the steering process. To this I noticed then also the blinker behavior: If I steer while I b left then accelerates the “klack” sound as well as the indicator on the turn signal. (instead of the normal blinker klack-klack-klack then klackKlackKlackKlack) The whole thing is a bit disturbing, because the well-being of the Volvo is important to me. So – now since you said: What is that? Is that normal? Thank you! Greetings, Michael

Hi, I need your advice. I have a new car in short. At the moment I can’t decide which car to take. I’ve been driving a few different cars lately and still don’t know it yet. Besides the XC90 there’s a choice of A6, Q7, 525d, X3, Renault velsatis, S80 or V70. Although the V70 is more likely to be eliminated, because I’m driving the V70 at the moment. -Even if the new D5 would be an argument. I find the best of the mentioned XC90. What makes me think of l The D5 with “only 185 hp”, because I have to drive from time to time 1000 km a day and it is already good if the car runs properly. In the test run the Xc90 ran only 195 km/h according to Tacho and the consumption was 11.9 liters on 100 km. With the same track and a little more floter driving my V70 has a consumption of about 7.0 liters. }> the hot of the xc90 needs almost 5 liters more! Basically I have to find out, however, that the XC90 is very quiet and pleasant. So now I would like read your opinion and maybe also how much a XC90 D5 needs realistically and how fast it drives, because I think that the results of my test drive can probably be seen as an exception.

In the operating instructions it is pointed out that the particulate filter is not emptied at frequent short distances in winter – if the engine does not reach its operating temperature – because of the lack of regeneration, so that the yellow warning triangle comes at 80% filling level: “RUSSFILTER FULL SEE HANDBOOK”. Has anyone ever seen this before? How short does the distance have to be in order to worry about something like this?
