Hello, I’m doing my C70 2.5T Bj 1999 to exchange a S60 2.4D Bj 2008 Sport Edition for a big extra charge. The S60 has little kilometers, great equipment (de facto everything except the sliding roof) BUT this rear spoiler on the trunk edge really can’t be. How can I save myself this embarrassment? How is this thing assembled, screwed/glued from factory? I have to have the boot flap repainted if I remove the thing – probably already. Thank you!

Hello to each other, now’s me also caught, one of the 4 stand light lamps at the back (left, top) of my v70, year 2002 is gone. Everyone who reads and writes here knows how stupid the things (the top) are to change. To prepare the action I have read most threads here on the topic. My questions would be: 1. Are there new insights for a painless change of the lamp without the 2. Maybe someone has developed in the meantime a clever lamp change tool 3. Do I really assume that I should reach the relevant lamp manually to the left, as with the usual bayonet lock must turn ? Do I have to solve before any cables on the lamp socket or can I turn all the stuff out in one? Thank you dear community for suitable tips!

8 years of XC90 ( 1 x summum and 1 x R design ) are coming to an end. Sorry Volvo but the many promises since 2012 about a successor I’m tired. I’m done. Although I’m very satisfied with both vehicles I can’t warm up for the charm and technology of an end of the 90’s designed vehicle and wait even longer whether the now and when exactly and if so what might be new in 2015 is no longer in question for me. In addition – I’m honest – I just can’t get excited about the 4 cylinders – sorry. I think here I’m talking about one or the other out of my soul. I confess – I’m going to VW – Touareg it’s supposed to be – order is out on Saturday and I hope to have the vehicle in March / April. I see the separation from the Volvo with a laughing and a crying eye. Space concept, flexibility and space certainly great at the Volvo, but media system, driving assistants etc and engine are still outdated. Shade actually.

Hello, I’ve been driving my Volvo V70 EZ for quite some time now: 11/2001 with 170 hp and love eyelets with an XC70 with 80000 KM EZ: don’t know exactly is now 2 or 3 years old. So either 2004 or 2005 model in grey metallic, A diesel with automatic, leather, 163 hp. What do you think of it? What is the torque of the 163 hp diesel Autom. ? With my current model is at such 250 NM I think. What does it look like with children’s diseases, what should I pay attention to? How fast is the ? consumption? Do I take a step back? I wanted something higher with four wheel. I wanted first a Jeep Cherokee with 168 hp 2.8 lit. Diesel with 400NM torque. But have been offered by my acquaintance the XC70 this is Volvo dealer. The car should cost around 24500 euros. I ask for your help as always. Greeting Bernhold —————————————————————- Volvo V70 Harley Davidson Street Bob

I didn’t have to tell you my worst Volvo experience at the time. Yesterday I stopped my Volvo in an industrial area, because my phone rang out of time to dial the car again. When I wanted to drive away again I came in shock, engine started brake kick, dial lever hangs on P. Na Supper, followed by engine restarted again against Nothing! It was just nothing more to do. After that I called at the breakdown service, wait time about 1 hour was told me, well what you want to do. During the waiting time I called at my friend, who told me then there was still a note lock under the cover such a white lever. I could remove the cover with the help of the board tool, unfortunately there was not with me this lever. That pushed the Mechanic lock off I could at least also see the start in the climate, but also the change from hand has no effect.

Have I bought the new car picture Allrad today. Here you can find a report about the new XC 90 which should come from 2009 ?? According to the car picture also in the engine range a 6-cylinder diesel with up to 250 hp (!!!) offers. Whether it is true -would be nice. I like the styling very well only the rear does not fit in the proportions. Unfortunately no pictures from the interior. Does anyone still know something about this new car ?? Otherwise look and comment Beautiful weekend of Fly 7000

Now just before the final purchase decision, I doubt. I wanted a V70 II D5 with 185 hp so far. I drove and everything is good. Now I mainly drive short distances in the city and only 2 -3 times a month times 50 kilometers at a time. I like the diesel engine and the consumption in the city (but not the taxes to be paid and I drive only about 15000km a year). Now the engine does not reach almost its optimal operating temperature with my driving mode. As I understood it would therefore be useful (even in the summer) to run the stationary heating (if available) before driving. If the question is whether a petrol engine would not be “reasonable” after all… What do you think?

Hello everybody, it’s time again, I was with my friend today, because I found a drop of oil under my moose from time to time. And look, half the engine protection cover is oiled, so we were looking for the oil source, the guess is on the valve cover seal. Cost point lappy 500 € happens more often than not? My moose now has exactly 106000 km down, and with the 100,000 inspection nothing of the oil loss was visible yet.

hello, I noticed the following, where I am of the opinion that it can not be normal: during the heating operation in automatic mode (without air compressor) comes out of the middle nozzles as well as nothing at all, only in the furaum. back comes from the b column only slightly cold air, footroom warm. the fan wash is also very loud, because it blows permanently against the closed middle nozzles. in the hand mode everything seems to work normally, except for the b column, there comes again only cold air. that can not be normal, can it?

Hello guys, I have stopped by “Euch” again, since I would like to let myself free my heater. However, I like to go to Venlo (too far, I come from the far north). Do you have experience with another dealer in Holland who is near Emmen, Enschede or Groningen? That would be more feasible for me, because I am sometimes in the vicinity of there professionally. By the way, I have forced to switch from an XC 90 sport to the XC90 R-Design model. However, forcibly, because my car, as I should say, was quite under power. But that doesn’t make me really unhappy, since the car still offers some optical features more Many greetings, bibuba
