Hello together. Have a problem with my XC 90, for a long time already. So I’m going, it’s been a long time, since a lot of sudden the PDC off, so off to the friendly, and computer on it, he told me I didn’t have one in the system, but I had it with me during the new purchase and also paid for it. Was already quite strange, a few months later a lot then the alarm system out, which annoyed me quite a lot. Well and finally, I have a battery emptying in a factory sta id the error message SRS maintenance needed to stand on the display. So I was quite desperate and am back to the friendly one, but this time where different. So diagnostic device to it and wait what the thing says, but nothing came, car didn’t want to say what’s going on and the friendly one didn’t know any more. But since he saw that I installed gateway and Parrot, the answer came, a machined vehicle, because I had diverted electricity from the hand-held compartment. the network via vehicle-specific cables, so this should also be a problem. I have also installed a part with which I can feed a video source, the current comes from the center console where the cigarette lighter is installed. So it has all felt until it gradually out much !!! Should everything jam off, according to friendly ones, and come again to the diagnostic measurement, but it happened again nothing. In the special diagnostic display you can see different building blocks, which should eige To be green, the first green is the rest all red, also good, but driving still does the good Xc90. I got in response, that’s the hammer made vehicle. Well, I achieved something good, there are great tips in the forum, so alarm system is checked and removed, see there, battery leaked, and smelled really messy. At Ebay I found a used of n old S60 so risk and ordered, built in and see there, it made noise again. Now to my other Problems, maybe someone can help me, would be very grateful because some things are also important for TÜV. Thanks in the above LG Matthias

Hello together, I know that the US model questions have been discussed here more often, but to my question I have found no answer here. Maybe someone knows each other??? I currently live in the USA and bought me last year a 2012 XC90 R-Design with 3.2l AWD………super car!!! Of course everything is in English (miles, temperature, etc.)………Now I have heard that it should be possible with navigation system by update, everything on the desired language … and to the front lights (Xenon with adaptive curve light) I also have a question………….are they also made of plastic in the German model and do they have an E-sign somewhere???? Or is that not absolutely necessary for the TÜV??? The other parts(rear lights,displays) all have an E-sign, in the front only SAE and DOT……….. Thanks already for your help Mario

Hello, I have a problem with my Volvo V70 XC, automatic, year 09/2000, model 2001. After reading “battery voltage low” in the on-board computer, I held a voltage meter to the vehicle. Result: the alternator has delivered too little power. In the forum I could read, which is very likely the LIMA controller defective, so I changed it. After testing the on-board voltage I could see the following phenomenon: on the on-board voltage In the boot, only 12V can be measured, in the engine compartment, the voltage varies between 12.5 and 14.2V. So changing the controller did not work. In addition, the starter no longer sprints, but perhaps the one is related to the other. Does anyone have an idea what can be defective on my vehicle? Would be grateful for any answer.

Hello everyone, so far I have been in the belief that the 5-cylinder volvo engine of the V70/S60 with 140/170 hp is the ideal engine for a gas conversion. My wife drives a V70 II without gas and I have thought of buying an S60, which is already converted or just one with a few kilometers, which is to be converted because I need a solid vehicle to commute and because of back problems no small cucumber with bad seats any more wants. But now my friendlic told me Volvo dealer, he always has customers with this engine in the workshop, who have problems with defective cylinder heads, one allegedly already has the third head always in the 30,000 km rhythm. Somehow I am confused now, especially since an ex-colleague of mine already drives 470,000 km on gas with a V70 I. What is true or right now? Can one make mistakes with the choice of the system? What must I pay attention to when buying? Thank you!

Today in the meanwhile at least calendar spring I got really angry about the thickness for the first time. I drove my little daughter as always to the elementary school, on the roof about 2 cm high sulty wet snow, on the passenger seat new sign block for the school and not quite unimportant documents for the office. When my daughter wanted to take her sign block from the passenger seat, a larger place of the clenched snow dissolved and fell in the middle of sign block and documents. The door cut-out is obviously so shaped that the snow had to fall first on the backrest and from there on the seat! When I then got out to save what was no longer to be saved (I now know how corrugated cardboard is made), the next snow place on the now empty driver’s seat slipped! Lack of cloth and tempo cloth – of course yesterday the last used and not yet refilled – I could only wipe away the snow water so reasonably with my hand, I know that other vehicles are also affected by pure dripping rain in the open door; on the one hand, however, this is hardly an excuse, on the other hand, the snowfall in the car was already really massive and not yet experienced by me in this form! Have you had similar experiences or am I just too stupid to open a car door? (You may also leave the latter unanswered) Greeting Frank – meanwhile dry again – No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Servus together! I thought to myself on Saturday morning: Be nice to your OHL, let her sleep & drive alone (with the moose) to the week shopping… …said & (almost) done: On the short way to the supermarket I thought to myself “on stop signs you should stop”; I did so too… the girl in the KA behind me unfortunately not… So, she wanted to get the plug line, which came then also after 30min & wrote a report (the girl was allowed to pay directly what it has also earned -> nobody is allowed to go unnoticed The damage to my moose was hardly noticeable (I didn’t care about the KA). Today I was at the paint shop of my trust, after all it didn’t paint itself & why not directly to the professional! The friendly paint master noticed some things directly: gap measurements under the tail lamps on the right and left different, gap measurements of the tail aprons on the left side different from right (on the right is also the tank nozzle for LPG), “Dellen” at the push point Well, long speech, short meaning: the moose spends the night in the paint shop today, tomorrow the bumper will be taken off (the gastank will be removed) etc. etc…. Tomorrow I will have the estimate (and also the opposing insurance). I’m curious… And: I honestly thought at the Sa to just reprimand the girl & let her drive again! Fortunately (for me and the elk) the girl wanted to be the race manager. ben… Btw: Is the wiring for the PDC in the back of the moose??? Greeting weflydus

Moin, I’ve had my Dickelch for 2 weeks now. I decided for an exhibition vehicle of my dealer (in order to avoid a longer waiting time). The vehicle has now ‘unfortunately’ the fixed telephone installation … The voice quality (free speech) is really schyxxx … (was already described enough here). Question: Where is ‘usually’ the microphone installed? In addition, the speaker in the left door scrapes even with the smallest basses, how do you get the cover ‘accident-free’ And first of all as the last question: RTI … Can you no longer ‘freely choose’ the scale? Thank you & Greeting Carsten

A friendly hello to everyone here. Wanted to introduce myself briefly. I am Buerste and since mid-January proud owner of a Volvo S80 2.0T!!!! Come from the most beautiful city in Germany, maybe even from all over the world!!!! And I have to say, this car is just Gigantic. I know here in this community like to see pictures, but at the moment it is not really presentable yet. I bought the vehicle with slight damage and I want to see it. so I’m looking forward to a nice time with you like-minded Ciao Buerste

Hello people! So today I was at the dealer and I looked at the current V70. Not quite fresh but with top ergonomics. Since I read that the coming V70 up to the B-pillar is identical with the S80, I put it in the same way. I have to say of the seating comfort the “old” V70 is a lot better. Especially the wide center console is always in my way. Also the Nordberg sports seats in the V70 Edition model are much more comfortable than the leather seats in the S8 0 (summary). Also in the “old” V70 you are so nicely converted, the security feeling is missing in the “new”. The reason why I demand here is that the “old” V70 from the space offer (on the back seat and the low trunk) is almost too small for me. The new one is to become bigger. Is that true? Currently I drive a loading master (Opel Vectra Caravan -> current model). If the new really gets bigger, I am hard to think if I should wait. What do you mean? Age or newer? would you buy? Motorically I introduce with the D5 (185hp) with AT6.

Hello, I would like to add a used V70 and need your help. Are there problems with corrosion/rust with older V70 (approx. BJ 2000- 2004) ? As far as I have heard, the V70 are only about 70% galvanized !? How does it look with the strongly rock-throwing areas like wheel runs, bonnet etc. ? Please report your experiences to me. Thank you and greeting Hookie
