Hey =) I’ve already got a thread where I’m looking for nem Golf 4, now I’ve stumbled over the two treasures and wanted to let the times of you “chekcen” =) would be very connected to you … S80 thanks so far =)

Since we are looking for the V 70, read and absorb everything around the V 70 and listen, I read a lot that the Soft Turbos should be even better than the vacuum cleaners? That would then be the 2.4 T with 209hp, there was also a 2.0T with 170hp. How are the experiences? My favorite, also with regard to the LPG conversion is a 2.4 suction cup with 170hp and automatic. But they can almost never be found (preferably but also the upscale equipment) Am not now of the performance naturist, rather the driver type “Cruiser”, so the performance is not so important. What about the thirst for “normal” driving? Actually, the cars with more power in a civilian driving mode need less than when a small engine moves with effort, right?

Hello, when buying a car a month ago, a GSM phone in the V70 MY06 still worked excellently. Since then, I did not use it on the phone. Today, I wanted to call my wife briefly… I still heard the keypads… when I was dialing I then missed the dial tone and on the basis of the ad I then saw that my wife accepted the conversation. I just didn’t hear anything… The following attempt with a call on my phone brought the same result… The opposite side can have one with completely But there was nothing from the speaker in the headrest.. Even changing the volume via the steering wheel remote control or on the radio didn’t work.. At the time of the call I heard a CD from the VOLVO 10 CD changer.. Radio HU-450. Also the attempt to start the conversation from the FM transmitter made no difference. The radio mute operation works… When the AUTO GSM is called it also rings normally… after accepting the call But there’s again the same behavior. As if the standard microphone and speaker volume is at a minimum…. Does anyone know the phenomenon and have a solution ready? Thank you, Gosar….

Moin together, we carry ourselves with the idea to treat ourselves to an XC90 as 7 seaters. Does anyone have experience with 3 child seats on the back seat? Do they fit in and reach the middle belt for a baby seat? And when we are there, what are useful equipment details? Here is my thought-out config: Summum 7 seater Automatic Navi sliding roof Premium Sound CD changer USB/iPOD interface Bluetooth free-checking device Sliding roof trailer coupling darkened windows Airbag durable rear air conditioning parking aid rear parking aid front Thanks for your input, Lars

Hello, my wife and I have been the owners of a used Volvo XC90 D5 with 163 hp Built 01/2005 (with round tail lights). The car is completely stacked, but the previous owner has added an HC oil (5W 40) to the existing, probably fully synthetic oil (also 5W 40). According to various dealers, this is no longer tragic, but I would like to use the right oil for the upcoming 120,000 km inspection. This standard is available with the recommended “standard oil” Castrol Edge or Castrol Formula SLX (not FST). Is this oil also suitable for the diesel and the right one? Alternatively, I find the Castrol Edge 0W 30 especially for Turbo Diesel engines on the Internet. I have a retrofitted soot particulate filter. Unfortunately, this oil only seems to meet the standard ACEA C2/C3. Is this also suitable? I don’t want to do something wrong at the beginning. Welc hes is now the correct oil for our Volvo? Which is better? I hope for answers.

What’s that again for a nonsense yesterday on the driver’s side the window drove up, suddenly it tilts to the front and is only raised in the rear, so that the disc stands 45 degrees obliquely to the front out of the door. With manual after-floating I managed to get the disc back in and completely close it, but it still has game and is apparently not led in the front so properly. A metallic “clonk” in the front of the door.

Hi together, I’m thrilled by the XC police cars and fire trucks in Scandinavia and GB. Does anyone have sources/pictures of XC70 in other countries that are turned into special vehicles? (Scandinavia and GB I already have 🙂 I don’t think that they are sometimes designed as amulance, but as an official car the XC is to be used for many things … Tschau Torsten – the XC fan

Good evening, I just surfed the net for my wife in search of a car and came across an S80 in Cologne. I like it very much because of its bright interior and the motorization. But the outside color is not so much the hit for me. You can find it at Autoscout24 under Volvo S80 from EZ 2001 for 4999,-€. The car stands at a – it seems to me at least so – mediocre “used car slide” in Cologne, company Auto Mobile Cuffaro, Kalk – Mülheimerstr. 337, 51065 Cologne. Now my questions: 1. Do you happen to know this car and can you tell me something (positive or negative) about it? Or can any of you take a short tour because it is around the corner? 2. Can you drive this model for at least 6 years without what flies around your ears? 3. What about defects and rust etc. in general with this model? What problems does this model have? I am a little skeptical about the engine – the 5-cylinders at Volvo stem and if I remember from VW/AUDI. And with VW and Audi in the past some in my circle of acquaintances had big problems with disassembled turbos, through which partly also the engines were over. Thank you already for your expert answers!

Hello dear Foris, I am very interested in the purchase of a gas V70. Unfortunately, the natural gas network is almost non-existent with us. Therefore, LPG will probably do the race. Now I have some older models in the “eye” and would be very happy if you would post your experiences / advice here. To me: I drive about 35 000 km/year, a lot of highway, mostly routes (easy) about 50 km (way to work). Now I have the agony of choice: 1) 2.0 Comfort, 173000km, BJ2002, 179 HP 2) 2.4, 144,000km, BJ 2001, 140hp 3) 2.4, 135000km, BJ 2002, 140hp Unfortunately I don’t yet know which systems are installed, or since when the cars have been converted. Is there something special that you think I should pay attention to? Newer GAS elks are unfortunately not affordable (for me). What is your opinion on the rather high km-performances? Is there an increased maintenance requirement for the LPG cars? Oh – Buying a car is always exciting! Will you help me with something? I would be hugely interested in about your experiences and advice / hints are happy! Thank you Kirsten

Hello, I could take over a well-equipped 7-seat XC90 D5 that comes out of the lease in the spring. But is a hand switch. On mobile.de there are only 2 hand switches on 50 XC90 with approximately the data of the XC in question, which could represent extreme obstacles in a resale, because I suspect that in this vehicle class Automatic is almost a “must”? How do you see that? I know, this is not the XC90 clientele but somehow fits, I find. Greetings
