Dear Community, I ask myself after a week with the Garmin Nüvi 360 (which should be one of the best external Navis) if I should not invest the well 3000 Euro and have an RTI retrofitted. Professionally I need the Navi about 1-2x per week. After I first had an integrated Navi with my Z4 I am spoiled a bit above all: – if I drive into longer tunnels no external Navi continue to count, but always “…no reception…” – after I drive out of my garage (with tunnels about 1-2 minutes) it takes about 3 minutes until Garmin locates itself – no TMC (involving traffic messages…) – If I have switched on the radio, let me navigate and at the same time the phone people because we are hectic, if the systems are not coordinated with each other. After I have now for a week my xc90, almost 1000 km drive, this has happened to me already 3-4 times. If I have built in RTI, this would be a little coordinated So dear Community is worth it to your RTI to equip me with your Regardi?

More Alu in the interior (e.g. wood decor repainted) with BILDERN! Hello! Since several forum members asked for it, here a few pictures (in total 5) of the slightly changed interior of my silver-coloured V70-II, 2.4T, Premium, man. Circuit, year 2000. To remember, I had repainted the existing 5 wood decor strips, installed aluminium trim rings, switched levers. To the wooden decor strips again: I removed the 5 wood decor strips, brought them by spray box on aluminium look (with spiritus cleaned, 3-fold silver/alu-painted and 3-fold clear lacquered within 2 days) and again neatly installed. (The insertion and removal of the decorative strips was the most difficult in this case, because for this all door coverings had to be made and the ledges themselves with too much and often poorly achievable clamp rings are attached, which have to be carefully pulled off and put on again. Gottseidankt was also this infinite fummeledei at some point, but the new look was not worth the Alu-P, but I still want to look at Alu-P.

Hello, unfortunately my S80 was shot on Monday, it is someone with red over the traffic light with me rushed in. like it looks like. totally damaged. am therefore again on the search and a s80 bj. 02 found with 60 tkm. If it was put back it can be that I can then recognize on the screen a different value or is based on that of the tachos? I have already made the reading but saved light and well, “alheimer lets greet ” Thanks Marco, who is unfortunately again on the search

Would like to put an XC90 as a business car in the garage in the autumn. Before that, however, there is still convincing work to be done with my boss, who is passionate BMW Faherer and lets me participate in his passion for 6 years. A powerful argument could be a possible cost advantage in leasing. Does any of you have absolute Knüller offers in stock? The first contact with the Volvo dealer has shown that leasing directly over Volvo is far too expensive. He swabbled something of the “German leasing”, which could probably be 25% cheaper.

Why do I havePlöde seats in the XC90? Who has problems with the position of the headrests in his Volvo, especially XC90, but also other models? My problem is that I always put the backrest very upright (almost 90°), and the new seats from MY 05 have a headrest directed further towards the driver. Due to this arrangement of the headrest you have no room for movement to the rear. In a rear impact this will have advantages, unfortunately it is more of a disadvantage in daily use, since I have been suffering from tension in the neck since I drove XC90 MY 05, which is already outside of “goes” or “will already lie down” Who has similar problems and already got a solution from Volvo or his friend?

Hello Volvogemeinde, I’m about to order a new V70. I’m not sure yet which tyre size I should take. Now my question: Normal are 215/55/16. But I’m playing with the idea of ordering the car with 225/45/17. Does this increase the consumption and is the wear in the 45s higher? Has someone already had experiences with it? Please for information. Greeting Clausen

I admit that I’ve been carrying this question with me for a long time, because summer time has been active for a few days… but it’s the very simple questions that ask the biggest puzzles of the universe: On the one hand, there is a HU-850 sound system with RDS in the car. As is well known, the time is included with RDS-EON… on the other hand, there is the RTI with an atomicly accurate satellite… here again, time information is included in the signals. With a little bit of input from a time zone table and further information, when now someone would change to summer time… So, in theory, it’s a trivial problem; in this case, the word problem seems pointlessly exaggerated – it’s more a challenge or at least a task; to get the time to get information into the car… So why do I have to repeat the built-in clock twice every year with a pen around one or 23 hours?

Hello municipality I am looking for your advice. At the moment I drive an A4 Avant 2.0 petrol engine and would like to enlarge. I would like the A6 Avant 2.5 diesel engine (from 2004 onwards), which one reads about the qualities and the maintenance costs of the engine does not sound so intoxicating. An alternative would be for me the Volvo V70 D5 also from 2004 onwards. Did someone ever have the possibility of a direct comparison ? Unfortunately both have not driven yet. Of the power of the engine are both equally think the equipment is better at the Audi In advance Thanks for the answers Patrick

My S60 MY04 has been having the following problem for a few weeks now. If I’m driving with Tempo80 or higher on a federal road or highway, I always hear a kind of “flatten” out of the trunk. (or behind the back seat) It sounds to describe it more precisely, like a sheet of paper, which is blown up and then gives a kind of “flat” sound of itself… only I actually have nothing in the trunk. All windows are closed – only the climate. Do you have any idea what can be there? I already get on my nerves – hopefully there is nothing broken. Thank you already in advance for the information 🙂 merci, PinocchioS60 PS: the elk now has about 38000km down.

Hello together, I just ordered a new XC 70 (still in time for the price increase:-) And that’s: XC70 D5 185 PS summum (have much to and fro) manual gearbox saphierblack-metallic glass sliding roof RTI integrated phone side panes darkened switchable airbag front passenger side smoker package speed-dependent power steering What else is missing: trailer clutch winter wheels 4-c I saved myself, because during the test drive the XC did not “waggle like a cow ash” as written. Compared to my current car I could not see any negative sides on the chassis. Well, as satisfied as our BMW with sports suspension it is not on the road, but that is also another category of car. The BMW stuck last week in a snowweed and can only be “removed” with a trecker. I hope that I can play the trecker in the future:-) But I also have questions to you. How does it look like with the average consumption of fuel for my winter time?
