Hello Forum, I wanted to introduce myself here and now, just as my good upbringing is supposed to be. I am the new HaraldHårfagre, which means Harald Schönhaar, the first Norwegian king to agree on the Vikings of Norway. I come from Berlin and have given myself a V70 D5 sport edition with RTI and all Zip and Zap for Christmas. I hope to learn a lot about my new car here and have a little fun! Greetings from Berlin, Frank

Hello together, the family plans to buy an XC90. 20,000,- to 25,000,- €. 7-seats for 4 children and dog 1.) On site at the BMW dealer a 01. 2004er T5 with 75,000 km for 19,000,- €. Too expensive if the angular gearbox (yet) was not made and the large climate maintenance is pending, right? 2.) We then tested an Ocean Race D5 from 02.2006. The price was 22,000,- € approx. The car shows several error messages: a marten allegedly destroyed an ABS sensor cable. 3.) We drove a white T5 with 90,000 km and hand-operated from 10.2006. The circuit was between the 1 and 2 gear quite used to. The car was otherwise good to drive. Only below you have seen that the car in the Allgäu was allowed to spend 2.5 years open and was not treated very lovingly: rust on various chassis parts, cathedral bearings, exhaust and at the 4 “Bockpoints” additionally z The 2nd cathedral camp had a lot of play for this. A hail damage had been repaired. Meager equipment and 3,000,- Euro over ADAC price. What do you think? is the white blender solid and stable despite little care and rusting: or better keep your fingers off it?

Hello, I’m thinking about leasing an SUV from the blow of a Grand Cherokee 3.0 CRD, ML 320 CDI or the like. I also came across the XC90 D5. Visually and of quality and comfort without any doubt. But how about the engine that has significantly less engine capacity and a little less power compared to the other diesels in this class. Can someone help me with this P.S. Would also like to pull a caravan. Thanks in advance Jürgen

V 70 with roof damage/V 50? Hello, my V 70 D 5 (185 hp) Momentum has a roof damage since yesterday 18.38 clock (storm) and indeed from a railway bridge a marauded concrete part (15x8x2.5) of a rusted A-iron fell on the roof. Is probably first on the right roof rail (mackerel) and then on the roof fell (1 a little deeper scratch and several small in the radius of approx. 25 cm. After accident report at the police, this morning to paintr, cost vo The entire roof sky must be removed from the roof rail and the tailgate. I get the Kriiiiiiiiiiiise, especially since my V 70 is otherwise absolutely fault-free at now 33,800 km in 12.5 months. The only thing that bothers me for a few days is squeaking like from an old sofa, when the car springs in the rear after driving over a hump seems to come from the rear right. If I have to look at the trunk again, then the spare wheel for air testing was removed at the 30,000 as well as the luggage floor, maybe there has been a shift??? Think now, whether I should buy a new car and have thought about the V 50 Edition Diesel (136 hp), which would cost with some extras (XENON, leather, met. etc.) 32.900 €. For the V 70 I get then 29,000 € (currently in payment-pre-payment) for V 50/V 70 at Volvo). A new V 70 Edition Comfort would cost almost 40,000 €, additional payment 9.700 €. I’m not sure what to do now. What do you think about it??? Greeting, cruiserland

Dear friends, with my S60 (65,000 km) there is a brake disc change. Since I drive only the most necessary with my elk in winter, the brake discs are rusted and should be renewed before the next check (in Ö the “Pickerl”. Now I have found this ATE PowerDisc with the indication that the corrosion protection remains on the disc. This would be of advantage in my case. Also the other points on the homepage of ATE would be for a decision of this brake disc My question to the round: Are there already experiences among the VOLVO drivers with these brake discs, or from other brands, or is the original brake disc the best.

moin, moin, zum gleich Tretten an xc90 my2005 (02/2005) und ein x5 2006 (09/2006).I don’t want to go into the quality problems of the xc90 as far as it goes, since the x5 still didn’t have time to reveal its quality weaknesses. test track was stade (at hamburg) bern, which is known to be in Switzerland. I have mastered the track with both cars and want to give an intermediate report. 1) motor/gear transmissions. the comparison is uneven, since the xc90 is a switch. w At that time, however, we had deliberately decided for a switch, because the automatic system was too sluggish when we started. the 3 liter diesel in x5 convinces compared to the 163 ps diesel of the xc90. here, despite the chip, the xc90 clearly can’t get any points. also the automatic system of the x5 doesn’t have the drive weakness. what makes the motor of the x5 significantly gain is its greater agility in the range between 120 – 180 km/h. here it makes much more fun. 2) seats here there is a clear undecided. the bmw seat has more sideways and it took longer until I had found a good sitting position. but on both seats you can cover very good long distances. a goody of the x5 is the electric steering wheel adjustment, which is stored with it. but still undecided. 3) suspension my x5 has the sports suspension in it. this makes the car look good after all. This is good in the kassler mountains, because it is better in the curves. but cross joints are passed more clearly on to the drive. here I can not say for myself who has won, that the coming kilometers will decide. 4) navigation/radio this point goes very clearly to the xc90. one part has the x5, I could not choose the loudspeaker system any more, so is only the standard system with cd changer in it. bad here is that the change r in the case room is. also the position of the navis in volvo is much better. if you are used to the control over the steering wheel, the grip to the turnknoff is a step backwards. also I find the volvo radio more intuitive to operate. the card position of the volvo is a mile stone opposite the bmw. also I find that the radio in x5 is too far away from the driver. my reference is that the bmw in the motor has the nose quite clearly ahead. this diesel would stand very well for the xc90. Unfortunately, I don’t see any improvement on the horizon at volvo. when it comes to operation, volvo is very clear in the front. volvo is always able to make complex technology intuitive to use. I can only decide about the winner of the material quality in one year.

Moin moin, I have a question about the all-wheel drive from the XC90. I, or mostly my wife, drive an XC90 2.5 T Geartronic Mj.2007. Since the car is rather a cruiser than a racer, I have hardly noticed the described situation so far. That the XC90 in normal operation is a front-wheeler and the rear axle only switched on if necessary, was actually known to me. Our car, however, behaves somewhat in this regard in my opinion. the front tires turn fully through until after a few tire turns the traction control intervenes and the performance controls away. When I tried yesterday how this behaves when switched off, the tires turned off in 2 gears until the switching process, a force distribution to the rear axle was not noticeable. The all-wheel typical “road catapulting” goes completely off our car, and fast start is rather embarrassing, since the car this usually with loud tire quilts evenly A few months ago, the automatic transmission was changed, which might be related to it?? It can’t actually be on the tyres, as these are new (Conti UHP 235/65R17). So my question is whether any of you have had similar experiences. MfG

Hello, I’m new here and I have a huge problem. I drive a V70 bifuel CNG, 2.4 ccm, built in 2001. I have now more and more often the problem that my car switches to petrol while driving and no longer accepts gas. Neither in gas nor in petrol operation. (Doesn’t really make fun of sneaking over the highway at about 80 km/h and hoping that the next descent is not so far away.) When I turn it off for a short time (about 15 – 20 minutes) and then restart again. Everything is okay again. For an indefinite time. So far he has not shown any error. Since yesterday I have two error messages in the display: 1. Engine system maintenance urgent 2. Emissions maintenance Can someone tell me what that could be? In between he sometimes runs 14 days error-free or even only 1 day.

alarm system was successful??? Can someone help me standing on the display today. Have had the friendly make the alarm system new siren new door lock and software. I had to get home to test. Funny was driver door open and nothing happened, first as I opened the trunk she went off. Everything paletti except now at every start the message in the display. S60 Bl 2001 2.4 140ps Automatic

Hello, finally and full of pride I have enjoyed the long-awaited V70. 17 years VW Golf Gurkerei has now come to an end… It has become a 185 HP D5 Kinetic EZ 07/05 MJ06. Since our driveway measures only 3 meters in width and I see danger (already from experience with the golf) that when opening the door will like to “angedit” the house wall sometimes into the round I would like to ask if it is visually appealing or better visually inconspicuous wash road-proof door savers, which I use on the V70 of course I could also attach a schooner to the house wall, but he would have to go over the entire depth of the house, the driveway is very long. So not really the right method. Since our carport hits directly against that of the neighbor, we can park our car quite far to the right and swing our door over the other property, nevertheless the danger could exist if you park in the middle of the hurry.. Has someone already attached something like this and can it recommend? Greeting, gosar
