Hi, my S80 2.5T Bj 2004 with 25000 km makes me always great fun. The performance is not by bad parents even with automatic. I would like to now, however, as “luxury” to afford a chip tuning of HEICO (154 KW -> 180 KW). Does anyone have experience with this engine specifically and can give me any feedback positive or negative kind?

Moin you moose drivers. Time and again I have to do the trick “That’s a Ford in Volvo garment” or “There’s too much Ford in it”. Now I wonder what everything comes from Ford? Gearbox, engine and chassis already not. What’s all about Ford on my elk S60 from 2003? What electronics/technics? What interior elements? Thanks to you bye Hübie

Hejsan. See photo: Who offers more (was already so similar here)? The limit of 80 km/h saves quite neatly… By the way, was in the north, at least to Narvik, of which the whole Kystriksvej 17 (immediately!) and in Sweden the domestic vans back. Didn’t know that the XC 70 in N and S soooo is frequent (taxi, police, ambulance etc.). Every other with handlebars and auxiliary headlights, does not look bad – but unfortunately have no photo… If I almost had had had my changed, starting from he the OHL was not thrilled… Greetings wg

Help, my driver’s seat cracks! On the way from our main village to the next village, a very curvy road leads up the mountain. When I drive it at maximum possible speed, my driver’s seat cracks. This phenomenon mainly occurs when left and right turns change. Then it cracks in both directions. Now, for the first time, a pedestrian with her dog came to me when I wanted to test the adhesion limits of my tyres again (no, I h When I came around the curve, they and their dog were scared back at the same time, just at the moment when the seat cracked. Now my question: Can it be that the cracking of the seat outside is louder than in the car? Greeting Martin And before the obligatory questions come again: I have neither pictures of the seat, nor of the cracking and certainly not of my neighbor with her dog!

Hello together… from the engine room of my V70 (2001, 165Tkm) comes a loud tucker, which can be switched on and off with the “ON – OFF” button of the air conditioner. A week before it was made an air conditioner filling because it has not cooled any more. Has any of you ever experienced such a thing? Did they fill a frog with it? Next week I have appointment for the compressor change… until then I am grateful for every hint… Greetings from Fürth… Gerd

Hello Volvo friends, I have recently been V70 II driver. Super car. The bearded 5-cylinder with 163 hp is a force. Only the big turning circle is annoying. I came across the fact that there is also the 163 hp diesel in a 2001 catalog with 10.9 m turning circle when I browse old catalogs. From 2003 no more. Now at 11.9 m. Does anyone know the technical backgrounds? Ride the 16-inch serial car with 205 year-round tires. Martin

Hello I’m still reporting with a second request. So as already mentioned in the other topic: www.motor-talk.de/forum/tankdeckelschloss-defect-t1707189.html my father has a Volvo V70 II. In addition to the tank cover problem there is the following problem: When locking with the remote control you often have to try 2-3 times, until the driver door is closed. The button then often simply stays up. iden (that’s what you call the gentlemen in the blue man, or) not around! If so, what could be the cost and where is probably the cause? Thank you for your help!!

Hello Großgemeinde, from today I am right there! As I have learned so far from diligent reading a short introduction (with the beloved pictures…) XC 90 D5, MY 07, 5-seater, Electric Silver, Autom., so far 22,000 km The outside pictures are from the new purchase 10/06 (unfortunately no others were made then), since then only rigid AHK, stepping boards (Original Volvo) and dirt catchers have been added. So far no significant problems. t visit after 10 months because of rep. at the suspension front (springs somehow twisted and thus problems at the spring rest). previous experiences: -speed-dependent power steering makes the car unusual (including unnecessary!)nervous at medium speeds – only necessary if mother-in-law is allowed to drive… -why the tank is so small probably not even Volvo itself -BiXenon is a blessing!!! – i haven’t been able to recognize the innovation so far -rigid AHK united does NOT avenge PDC at the back! -Navi is somewhat inaccurate in detail -the BC/calculation average consumption is about 0.9 ltr below the real consumption (currently about 10.1 effective) But, we love you!

moin, my V70 T 5, bj. 2005 consumes 1000 km about 1 liter of oil. the engine has run 86,000 km; it is driven 1/3 in urban traffic and 2/3 on highway/land road without the engine turning higher than 4,000 rpm. blue smoke is not detectable when accelerating; oil stains under the car also not. has someone made similar experiences? is this the engine’s design that requires so much oil?

Moin Moin, I ask you to write me your experiences regarding gas upgrade at Volvo. A friend of mine wants to get a Volvo, probably from year 2001, the V70. He would like to have it refitted. Now my question to you, do you have experiences with it? With what system? have you installed Flashlube, (recommended), or do you use tune up? are the engines released? Valves at Volvo hardened? other problems that have occurred before? Many greetings and happy me on many posts Sebastian
