Hello I would have a question about the XC90. I have been offered a used one. EZ 06/06 but already model year 07. During the test drive I noticed that the front wheels have gone crazy. After I addressed the dealer on it he also said that there is something wrong. He is still clear. Now I am somewhat unsure. I thought that from the model year 2006 already the angular gearbox with the hardened gears is installed. Has someone experience with the angle g I don’t want to buy a car with which the four-wheeler fails every few months. Is there anything else to consider with the new model? At the moment I still fluctuate between the XC90 and a Toyota Landcruiser. Gruss Jens

Hello, who sometimes takes a look at the S40II Forum, knows well that I am not really satisfied with my S40 T5 (MY07), so I have been looking for an alternative for a long time. In the conversation are BMW (because of rear drive, roughly up to M3) and Audi (RS4, but would have to wait a while longer), but the two brands are not really symphatic to me. Would like to stay with Volvo, but after many test drives only the V70R remains, which is surprisingly sportli The S40 T5 (although the difference is AWD/FWD) and is not as much bigger as you would expect. And optically it is a dream anyway. I first tested a machine and only a country road, since the “R”, which must be black in my opinion, is not to be found at every corner… Have now one with JG 2003 in mind, and what interests me above all are the following points: Does the HU 803 with Premium Sound reach the PS of the S40 (or even better) ? e the normal sound system ?) Can PDC be retrofitted ? Are the maintenance costs significantly higher (without verse / control) ? Are there with the model 2003 “children’s diseases” ? What about the quality of the clutch, which is clearly overwhelmed with the S40 T5? How pleasant is the speed-dependent servo? (was not on the AB) What else should I consider ??? Thank you in advance, $id

Good evening, dear motor talkers. I found a Volvo S60 at Mobile and I also looked at it today. It’s: http://suchen.mobile.de/…/showDetails.html?… I have to say the car looks like licked from the outside and from the inside and up to a few small stone strokes at the front of the thruster I couldn’t find anything. Well, except that the windscreen wiper doesn’t work… But I think the fuse is broken because the wiper garkein life drawing The car was a leasing vehicle and looks very good for the age. At extra cost the dealer TüV AU gives me new and 12 months used car warranty as well as a working wiper. What do you think of the car? And what do you have to pay special attention to with Volvo? (weaknesses or known defects) Thank you and MfG Martin

… the cooling water? STH is responsible for a pleasant “warm start” in the interior. Now I always thought that the engine will no longer get a cold start. Does anyone know how warm or cold the engine is after e.g. 30min SHZ at T_aussen=0°C? Thank you! Andreas

Hello, get my first new used moose next week. I want to work up the leather from the steering wheel and gear knob. This looks really bad. As if the previous owner wore 5 rings on each hand. Now I have found a great guide. here I would like to get a matching color at the leather center. Does anyone know the color of the gray?! Is this the grey or something else? What did you use? Tips, recommendations? Greeting Flatattack

Hello, I roll down a mountain in the 4th gear. I want to slow down my moose a little bit and switch back a gear. The indicator jumps to “3” and the speed goes up (e.g. to 2300). After a few seconds, however, another switch seems to take place: the indicator remains (of course) to “3”, but the speed goes up again (e.g. to 2600). This also occurs with other gears. So with these “intermediate gears” my GT has 11 gears But seriously: What does the GT d a? Why this switch-over? (With the lock-up the m.E. has nothing to do with it, or does it start so quickly?) Relevant information receives as always gratefully: xc90er …who wants to expand his modest moose knowledge again.

Hi! Goes around a V70 year 2005 The steering wheel is not exactly standing at the Gerdeauslauf. Set track and fall, clear. But on the motorway up and down one notices in the curves that is a little game in the steering, or it pushes over the front wheels (I have to test even more precisely). Feels in about as if he was on smooth ice and that at very humane speeds. Others in front of me are more sporty around the corner. Servo pump was already suspected and would be the handle What do you think it could be? Greeting Lennart

Hi guys! So far I have found numerous answers in this super community, unfortunately I now have a problem which I did not find a solution yet. My V70 II AWD cracks when changing loads. Somehow clonck or something like that. My friend always said it was the interlocking of the semi-axle, which I believed until then, but it is not. Today I was at the Arbö (I am from Austria; arboue is like the ADAC) see us, the noise comes from the cardan shaft. Handbrake wurd e was attracted and it was tried to couple and when force comes to the cardan shaft then the cracking took place. was good to see because the vehicle was standing on a pit. In June 2010 my V70 remained in Croatia because of a broken outer clutch cylinder, cylinders and clutch were renewed and I mean to have the cracks since this repair. Only until now I was always comforted by the friendly on the drive shaft. I will now have to drive as soon as possible to the friendly Can anyone help me in advance? Does any of you know this problem? What can that be? Thank you for your help!

Hello together I’ve already read a few things about the throttle flap here, and as it looks like it can already occur defective ones here. Since I’m a friend of intensive maintenance and like to perform such to prevent failures (have also had the gear oil flushing done before a defect), I wonder if it would make sense to wait the throttle flap. When I connected the Dice, side of the DK was not yet a fault, however I have an unround motorl If this cold has been started, it can occur here (but it doesn’t have to) that this is easy at the sawing. But after 500 meters it’s gone. Would it make sense to clean the throttle valve. Would that make a Evtl failure of these preventions? Or are the faults purely electrical. And if only electronic, what breaks? Could also be that the electronic error is caused by heavy catchiness, right?

Hi, just now I put the rented XC 70 D5 back on the yard, with my future dealer. As to be expected, the car very excited me. The return trip in the passat was very sobering afterwards. Why I did not drive a V 70 test is due to the fact that I wanted to have a vehicle with Xenon, d5 , Autom. and RTI. Now my Volvo dealer asked me to do the order this year because next year everything will be different. What do you say? On 01.04.03 my old leasing contract expires. Greetings, Tex
