Moin moin, I bought my R already with a marten damage but since then I probably had at least two more visits. Luckily (for the marten) no cables or hoses were nibbled on but the insulation mat (with three m) became smaller and more ugly each time. Now my question, if anyone knows how to neutralize the smell for other marten or where I get such a insulation mat (with three m) or an alternative like fireproof carpet etc. which I have in front of the damage Is there such a thing in the hardware store? Can I just cut a black foot-strip and stick it in or torch me at the next full throttle ride with a red glowing turbo??? best regards

Hello guys, I’m new here in the forum. I’ve been having a V70 D5 summum for two days and it shows the following message since today: rear door left open”. Door, however, is grenade dense. Has someone an idea what that could be. Interior lighting remains on, warning light lights on the display and when closing there is no receipt of the flashing lights.

Hello, I drive a V70 2,5, 170hp, motor B5244S. EZ Dec 2001, mileage 139000. Recently I made an appointment for the 140000km inspection and the friendly one explains to me that the timing belt is also examined prophylactically. In addition, only the artificial cover is removed so that one can see the timing belt. In order to be able to take a picture of myself the question to the forum. How can one recognize a worn tooth belt? can it be oily or discoloured? Is there a minimum thickness that can be measured? Is Abbrieb permitted? Or maybe someone can answer how much of the B5244S of the timing belts fails before 160000km. With water pump and timing belts the inspection costs 1100,00 Euro. Of course, I only want to do this if it is necessary. Thank you Rolloff

Moin, so under a summer car I imagine a fast convertible or ‘oldtimer’. But honestly, I have no idea what you mean by a winter car. Can you please enlighten me? Thank you Christian

hi folk, just before a decision between A6 Avant and Volvo v70 (new car). Both have the front door, but the Volvo only as a switch. Can someone tell me his accomplishments with the geartronic? Is this comparable to the Multitronic from Audi? Advantage for Volvo: Price (-5000), charm Disadvantage: From May there is the new, actually old car advantage Audi: EELEGANZ par excellence, quite a bit more in place inside. nachteil: Preis und Ausstattung Würd mich über Bewertung der Geartronic happy, the thickness would have 186 diesel hp. Greetings m70537

Hello, the RTI of my V70 has been acting a bit strange for quite some time. I noticed the following mistakes: 1. Sometimes it drives in and starts immediately again, which is of course a bit unpleasant, because it forgets all traffic messages. 2. At motorway junctions it sometimes sends me to the right and then immediately to the left again, although I have to go straight ahead. So I should leave the highway for a short time and immediately drive up again. That happened already at departures. No, there were for the area no traffic message, at least no one was displayed. 3. Sometimes, but very rarely, the RTI always sends me around the block when I look for an address. It guides me properly, but does not tell me that I have reached the destination and does not register it either. Instead, when I pass the destination, it sends me around the block once. This makes it in doubt until the tank is empty. 4. The control unit on the steering wheel is very heavy, the buttons funkti This problem occurs with my RTI, which I got in November 2005 with my then new V70. Did others notice such problems? If yes: How did you solve it? With my old RTI (EZ 01/2003) I did not have these problems. Rolf-Christian

The ringing of the belt warners bothers me so much that I was at the friendly one to let me play the US SW version. To my astonishment he wanted to see from me a “belt release certificate” for it. Typically German I thought to myself – can one of you tell me – if in Holland also such a circus is organized if one wants to have the SW? Happy weekend Red Baron

Hello, my black S60 was “decorated” last night by some spiders. Now I have a nice long scratch on the driver’s side over my rear tail and on the rear door. Probably caused by a key. (In addition, a front tyre was pierced….) Does one have an idea where you can have the paint damage rel. cost-effectively fixed in the Duesseldorf area? (keyword “paint doctor” – I hope they do the auc h with such a long but dunnous scratch). I had now found it fast http://www.lackfuchs.de/hilden/. Has there been an experience? Did you want to drive by somewhere on Monday…

Hi there! I was on the weekend with a Volvo V70 D5 (185 hp) circuit. What surprised me very negatively was the very high consumption. At Constant 140, a few construction sites and a few speed restrictions on 120 I used 8.0 according to BC and 8.3l calculated. The total distance was 450 km. The vehicle had about 40,000 km on it, so it has entered. Is the consumption with you so high? Thank you for the answers. PI-DD
