Hello Volvo-Gemeinde! I have been following (reading) the articles on Ipod & Co. for quite a while, but have received some questions to ask me, not an exhaustive answer yet. – Does the 5th generation of the (big) Ipod, i.e. the video, work problem-free with the original Ipod adapter? – When is it possible to use it directly via the Ipod? Some wrote it this way, sometimes so. Can one “cause” this with intention? – Can one watch video on the Ipod (e.g. in traffic jam :-)) and the sound over the car or does it just go via USA adapter with jack plug? – Which of the many adapters (Volvo, USA-Spec, Boston-Volvo, …. / FM-Transmitter) is now recommended (sound quality, operation, s.o.)?

Hello Elch-Freunde Bin just stumbled over this article…. There a new V70 suddenly caught fire for inexplicable reasons in Sweden….. According to the article, the V70 is a new car!!! The only two months old vehicle had 900 km on the clock at the time of the fire. http://www.aftonbladet.se/vss/nyheter/story/0,278931080,00.html The driver came down from the motorway exit, and suddenly noticed that his V70 had no more juice – a few seconds later the whole car was in full fire.. It was completely damaged! Volvo Sweden “caught” the wreck and tried to clear the circumstances of the fire. Gruss Schwedentroll

This was probably my last Volvo: V70 2.4D Year of construction 11/2002: – Seat heating defective – Parking brake exploded at 160,000KM – error message rear flap open – pressure valve on turbocharger defective – engine additional heating defective – instrument cluster shows error message SRS Airbag maintenance urgent > defective – air conditioning leaks on the cooler and on pressure line – polternoise front axle It’s enough for me. The donkey rolls 800KM over the track every week and has all inspections.

Hello together, I need a plan! After the original rubber key of my V70II has turned into a black, sticky chewing gum clump, I remember the ‘then read here thread, a flipkey of the newer models (my is EZ 02/2003), to retrofit. Original of the friendly does not work of course. In the thread from 2006 it was advised to get a flipkey from the USA, to order the bowl blade here at the friendly fitting to the FG-No. and to screw the board from the old remote control into the Ami- flipkey. Sounds quite good so far, I would like to do so, my problem is that the flipkeys that are offered in the USA always have 5 keys, e.g. at “midwestkeyless”. My remote control has however only 4 keys, the red triangle is missing. Therefore my question, whether this conversion really has a chance to work out. Maybe someone has already tried it out before me. The rubber keys may now be in resolution, actually a shame for a car, or a premium.

Hello your moose driver once had an XC90 D5 with everything (even the gauge extension and the 20 inches) At that time EZ 10/2004 had only 163hp, which was not as bulging as is the 185 hp now ? am spoiled by my current vehicle (A6 Avant 3.0 TDi) of course, whereby you can’t compare the vehicles from when there is the rear camera ? and what is with parking assistance in front ? how are the sprot seats ? better or only narrower ? what has changed since the otherwise ? has the telfon system become better ? at that time it always echoed without the Volvo it got under control, unfortunately you would take a 5 or a 7 seater, also because of reselling and so is a 6 cylinder diesel planned ? or an even stronger diesel ? Thanks in advance

Good morning, after we have announced new generations and the OHL is already looking for luxury prams (as comortable as I would have liked to have been carriaged through the area at that time), we are currently thinking about a change of our V50. Because the pram may fit in, but quite a lot more than that. We no longer need a diesel, which is why I am considering the following vehicle at the moment: www.autoscout24.de/Details.aspx?id=vfnxufxifnnw I would be very grateful for a short assessment of your part (the motorization was discussed sufficiently, I consulted SUFU), I think there should be something else in price, the car stands for almost a year. Thank you for your opinions, Gruss vom Fred

What kind of greeting at lunchtime, two days ago, when turning right into a gyro, suddenly and unexpectedly with a loud bang on the front left, broke the front spring. Luckily above the tire, so that it was not damaged. The subsequent change of both front feathers made my wallet not insignificant. Unit price per feather: 110 EURO, the rest I give myself. The fracture picture shows brittle breaking behavior, ‘like a small zone of a notch or similar. My displeasure about the failure of such a part at an XC 70, MY04/04, km 143,000 had to be listened to by my KD consultant. Likewise, my urgent request to him to present the case at VCG as a Volvo car house, the feathers still lie with him, and from his side towards Kulanz / Gutschrift / whatever to argue. Zumal, such a damage to his statement following him until now would only have come under him and just at ‘n XC something like that should happen. The Forum should have been sent to me now, but also something to Gibcan.

Hello Volvo driver, my V70 is now 6 years old and has 96000 km down. Stand at Volvo until now only for regular inspection in the workshop. When my elk got sick last week, very loud cracking when driving and on bad roads (which are too enough) I drove on the Voderaxe to the friendly!. To the service belongs that you listen to this cracking times and take the car up sometimes to look where it comes from, BUT NOTHING. Got an appointment 9 days later. Today I was in a free workshop where my wife always drives with her old Ford, the friendly man looked under it immediately and determined that the carrying joint on the right Voderrad was broken and whether the bike would have remained on it for the 5 days is questionable. Conclusion: car could be repaired immediately and picked it up an hour later. It is nice that a free workshop offers such good service and from work wage only costs a third person than the friendly one. My Elch will only see this workshop, even to the inspections. I have had the friendly experience of having had the bad one over me.

Hello Together on the search for an SUV I got to Mercedes ML and BMW X5 at the beginning of the week at a dealer around the corner on an XC90. Now I snuck around the car almost daily and had it shown to me today. It is an XC 90 2.5 T as 7 seater in very well maintained condition year 2004 with 175000km as automatic. The car up to an AHK everything and is priceless without negotiating just under 10,000 €. Inspection and timing belts were changed a year or before 20,000 km. Vehicle is checkbook maintained. I have now read the whole Internet to the car empty for days 🙂 On Monday I make a test drive and then we see on. On top of that, except for a butter-soft switching from the gearbox and no cracking of the steering I should pay special attention. To Zhema AHK, I need one and what I find on the internet will stop at 2250 kg of trailer load. If there is something else, the above mentioned colleagues pack up to 3.5 t. But I can not use that for a hang too much. I have a lot of information on the back.

Hello, I am currently considering purchasing a Volvo xc90 for my family. What should I pay special attention to in this context: BJ: no matter 120KW diesel manual gearbox 5 seat checkbook maintained Max: 170000KM mileage Price up to max: 14,000€ Are running speeds up to 170000Km of concern?? I have already informed myself about the running costs. It is all a little more expensive than e.g. with a V70, but you also have a very comfortable car. My wife is particularly important in this context the safety aspect of an SUV. (Otherwise she would never have agreed to a large/premature car). Does anyone have any information about actual consumption? On average, you should probably get along with 10,0L, or? In the past, I have never dealt with such “spice cars” and was always “reasonable” in my vehicle choice. Currently, I drive a Dacia Logan and have the need for a “right” car I am grateful for all tips and hints!
