Hello, I am thinking about whether my next car should be a Volvo V70 D5 Bj 2004 up or an A6 Avant 2.5/1.9 with automatic / multitronic. Audi is of course more dignified by the equipment. However, he has problems with the multitronics. I want to pull my caravan on holiday and make sure that the transmission does not fly around my ears, even after high running performance. Your experiences in this regard would interest me.

Hello, yesterday my V 70 II 2,4D was in the 120,000 maintenance. This is supposed to be a somewhat more expensive inspection, because various things are done, which are only to be done every second or third inspection. In addition, there were two “extra-scheduled” repairs: – new brake pads and brake discs at the rear as well as – replacement of the engine suspension due to wear. I paid a lot of 890 euros. That shocked me quite nicely. Is this okay – or overpriced taking into account all the work done? Especially since I was also dissatisfied with this maintenance for the first time with the whole round. I got an Audi (würg) instead of the promised V 70 as a rental car and for a small problem with two sometimes failed control lights in the display field could not offer any other solution except the lapidary information that one could only exchange the whole combination instrument, which would cost 1200 euros. I said, no thank you. To all evils were also seat and steering wheel so extremely disfigured that I had been used forever to achieve the optimal inspection.

Hello together, From the older posts I unfortunately did not get smart, I hope you can help me. I have the problem since our vacation… If I drive for example on the highway constantly the same speed, the gas goes away at once, only for a small fraction of a second. This about every 10 seconds. I switched off the air conditioning. The same applies even if I drive with the cruise control, no matter at any speed. I drive a S80 T6 BJ 2001 110000 km. Service was made recently. The only thing I noticed were the ABS messages that have been piled up lately…. (But I return to the warm weather 🙂 ) Gruss Umbro

So, this morning it was so far, after my night shift the thermometer in my S60 greeted me with -15°C. Shortly turned on the ignition key and it went on like at +20°C. I think I finally found the right brand for me. Shortly later the thermometer even showed -17°C. I have never been so pleasant in winter. A picture of the snow chute, from yesterday evening I still hang out today. Have fun in the snow! Gruenling

Hello* I would like to add an I-pod to end the chaos with the many CDs. Does one know what it costs to have an ordinary connection to the HU 650 installed. I have read in the previous forums that it is best to run via a USB port so that the playlist of the Ipod is visible in the radio display and can be controlled via the radio or steering wheel keys. Does one know what the installation of a good adapter costs and where it can be done best? A nice rest Sunday

Hello MT’ler, since I’m about to get a company car, I have to separate myself from my V70. However, the following ad has so far been NULL reaction: mobile.de I therefore ask you for help whether I am really wrong with it and what could be improved about the ad. What would you ask for? The price is based on a detailed Schwacke review (dealer-EK: 8,600; dealer-UK: 10,600) Thank you very much, Your James

Evening, the last threads on this topic are already loosely two years old; therefore a new one. Basically I am not a friend of motor tuning and rather leave everything org. The BSR history interests me nevertheless. What about it? In theory, one could buy a doughnut with some people and (provided that the report is correct) have the clamot registered properly. Where is the catch there? I mean, therefore I can almost not imagine that BSR sells many of these boxes – assuming that the customers manage to organize themselves. Who can post his experiences basically on this topic – prefers of course with the 191kw T5 gruß

But the title fits to the topic 😉 I intend to go to Karelia with my elk in April / May during my stay in Finland (max. 1 week). Now my question to the forum: Does anyone have experience with the entry to Russia? I have already been able to find out about the ADAC, which a liability insurance must be completed at the border (about 20 EUR for 15 days). The one ADAC office in Munich says that this is, next to the D sticker, everything. But another department mentioned a customs declaration that I have to have stamped on the entry to Russia to get my elk out of Russia again. Hope despite this strange question on help from the forum. And no I am not lightly but looking for something different and original vacation. So I was e.g. in 2006 by car 1 week in Albania and met new extremely guest friendly people every day. And nothing happened. Greeting Thomas

Hello Volvo friends! After about 8 years with my V70 I (EZ 12/98) 140 hp diesel was quite satisfied, I got a V70 II D5 AWD with EZ 03/06 and almost 40,000 km of mileage in September 07. The car is basically really great, but annoying things that I didn’t know so far from Volvo: crackling and knarling from the area of the dashboard and the doors, ripple noises that probably come from the mounting of the driver’s seat and other unnecessary but unnecessary noises that significantly reduce the quality of the vehicle. The chassis is also quite hard tuned, that may also play a role, but of course can’t hold up as an excuse. The car still has a guarantee and I hope that these things can be eliminated, but it does somewhat cloud the good mood and satisfaction with the vehicle. Hopefully there will not be any other major flaws. Is there similar experiences from other V70 II drivers? Greeting to all Werner with the vehicle?
