Hello Ride a S80 2.9 Geartronic. The latest automatic spins. Turns off very incorrect and sometimes hangs in the 3rd stage. Then no other gear can be inserted manually. The dealer has already tried it with new software, misstatement. Change of gear oil. Also brought nothing. Errors appear again and again and additionally in the diplay “Maintenance Gearbox” is urgent. If the automatic has “hanged up” (in the 3rd course) I only have to switch off ignition and restart, then it goes again for a few minutes. The dealer was now the opinion a control part with magnetic switches?? to change about 2000€. Today he has called me, he would have found chips in the oil of the gear and would like to change the gear straight away (about 500€). But I think he just wants to change that, because he doesn’t know where the fault comes from. An automatic transmission after only 99,000 km can’t be. Car never had a trailer operation. Someone knows advice?

Hello municipality, with our XC90 from 10.2007 hr for 1-2 years the right area of activity (on the airbag) very difficult. The pressure point is reached, but it does not honk. Stronger pressing (with one finger almost not possible) brings the success. (I don’t want to hear the saying now: “Then hup with the left). In danger situations it happened with already 3-4 times, that I pressed with right on the horn but the car didn’t give a tone of itself. On the left it always works, but the “Hupgund” has usually already done itself. Are there similar experiences here? So far for more than 200,- € unsuccessful works were carried out. I rejected the steering wheel – exchange for 700,- € thanking. Will the 200,- well have to pay, but here I hope to find THE SOLUTION 😉 Greeting Manuel

Hello guys, because I don’t like the “big” free-receiver from Volvo (keyboard in dashboard; 2nd SIM car; handset in the center console) etc. also wg. of the sound not so great, my dealer recommended the BLUETOOTH solution (cost approx.450 €). Does anyone have the thing in the V70 ? Experience with sound and operation ? Where is the Micro ? Radio mute circuit ? … … Are there descriptions about functions, operation and supported devices ( Have a Siemens S75-mobile) Thanks for hints !!!

Hello first of all, the thought of adding an XC90 D5 (185hp) hand switch is maturing more and more in me. But have there again a question, what does it look like with this vehicle with a chip tuning. 1. What did it do with power, PS, torque? 2. What about the fuel consumption? Does this rise? 3. What effect does this have on the insurance and car tax? 4. Which supplier is recommended here? Or have it installed directly by the dealer? 5. Does the Einabu impact on the warranty? 6. How high are the costs for the part + installation? Certainly one or the other has been discussed here in the forum. Have already found different posts. But would be very nice if I could get here again bundled all the info`s. Thanks

This morning I had to fix “Pos. Luminaires Control” again. That would be: 2 * Fixing the standlight in the back by “knocking on the pear” (want to change it, only once ing again) 2 * Fixed the standlight in the back by changing the bulb (birne was black) 2 * Fixed the brake light in the back by changing the bulb. The car (S60) is Bhj. Oct. 2001 and I drive it since the end of Sep. 2005. Is this wear normal? Before Nissan (Bhj 94) drove and did not have to change a single bulb in 5,5 years. What still bothers me is that if you give a little bit of gas to drive backwaerts etc. the pears light a little darker. If you give n bit more gas they come back to their “normal” luminosity – is that normal?

Only since Friday moose drivers I am of course a little sensitive to noise at the moment… However, my OHL also confirmed to me to hear a clear noise from the area of the cargo space cover – I mean to be able to concentrate this on the right attachment behind the seat row. Is this a known problem for which there is a simple solution? Or do I have to go to my already with such a thing – actually only small stuff – on the sinkel? Greeting Frank, despite flap noises since Friday with internal permanent grinning on the way (outside would probably only look stupid in the long term )

Dear Community, I ask myself after a week with the Garmin Nüvi 360 (which should be one of the best external Navis) if I should not invest the well 3000 Euro and have an RTI retrofitted. Professionally I need the Navi about 1-2x per week. After I first had an integrated Navi with my Z4 I am spoiled a bit above all: – if I drive into longer tunnels no external Navi continue to count, but always “…no reception…” – after I drive out of my garage (with tunnels about 1-2 minutes) it takes about 3 minutes until Garmin locates itself – no TMC (involving traffic messages…) – If I have switched on the radio, let me navigate and at the same time the phone people because we are hectic, if the systems are not coordinated with each other. After I have now for a week my xc90, almost 1000 km drive, this has happened to me already 3-4 times. If I have built in RTI, this would be a little coordinated So dear Community is worth it to your RTI to equip me with your Regardi?

More Alu in the interior (e.g. wood decor repainted) with BILDERN! Hello! Since several forum members asked for it, here a few pictures (in total 5) of the slightly changed interior of my silver-coloured V70-II, 2.4T, Premium, man. Circuit, year 2000. To remember, I had repainted the existing 5 wood decor strips, installed aluminium trim rings, switched levers. To the wooden decor strips again: I removed the 5 wood decor strips, brought them by spray box on aluminium look (with spiritus cleaned, 3-fold silver/alu-painted and 3-fold clear lacquered within 2 days) and again neatly installed. (The insertion and removal of the decorative strips was the most difficult in this case, because for this all door coverings had to be made and the ledges themselves with too much and often poorly achievable clamp rings are attached, which have to be carefully pulled off and put on again. Gottseidankt was also this infinite fummeledei at some point, but the new look was not worth the Alu-P, but I still want to look at Alu-P.

Hello, unfortunately my S80 was shot on Monday, it is someone with red over the traffic light with me rushed in. like it looks like. totally damaged. am therefore again on the search and a s80 bj. 02 found with 60 tkm. If it was put back it can be that I can then recognize on the screen a different value or is based on that of the tachos? I have already made the reading but saved light and well, “alheimer lets greet ” Thanks Marco, who is unfortunately again on the search

Would like to put an XC90 as a business car in the garage in the autumn. Before that, however, there is still convincing work to be done with my boss, who is passionate BMW Faherer and lets me participate in his passion for 6 years. A powerful argument could be a possible cost advantage in leasing. Does any of you have absolute Knüller offers in stock? The first contact with the Volvo dealer has shown that leasing directly over Volvo is far too expensive. He swabbled something of the “German leasing”, which could probably be 25% cheaper.
