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

Hello dear Volvo friends, I have to make my contribution now, on the topic cheap fuel or not. I can only recommend to spend the 1-2 cents more for the brand fuel. In another thread was said “The fill only dye and additives to it. Sure, the dye is absolutely amusing. The additives are however true miracle remedies. Since I have contacts to a manufacturer of additives and know that the ONLY come into brand fuel I am also willing to pay that. Here a “evidence” for the effectiveness of these additives:http://tgoetz.turboloaded.de/Images/valves.jpg And in detail WITHOUT additive:http://tgoetz.turboloaded.de/Images/details.jpg This is now just an example of the deposits. I don’t want to look like this my valves… Well, my opinion – as always I would like to give everyone a different and look forward to your feedback! Tom

Hello together, actually I have not had any problems with my XC90 so far. However, two, perhaps not so important, details work a bit strangely. 1. PDC When inserting the R-range, the radio is not controlled by radio or CD in volume. The beeper works, but you hear it badly. 2. Phone For every call in the absence I get two messages. The first with text: “Call on mailbox…” The second shows the call date and the time, however, no further text. Who has similar problems and knows a solution. My friend is a bit perplexed. Thanks and greeting bkpaul

You’re all great!! I’ve been waiting 3 weeks for appointment (before RAV 4) on XC 90 and for some time now watch this Volvo community. Respect and complement. I’m glad that so many people and info (also answer and post here) I’ll inform you when I come! Hepar

The statement by BILDCHEF about the automatic start reminded me of our holiday, where my friend in the car rental (Opel Meriva) was no longer able to rank properly, even though he had previously driven an X5. The “all-round parking radar” of his 5 BMW made him unable to park in a normal car “traditionally”! Will we all in the near future not be able to drive properly, since we are “bad” by the many electronic helpers??? No one can brake properly, but with the introduction of brake assistants, hardly anyone will learn (want)!? ESP, distance radar, steering intervention or shaking seats when leaving the track, belt-rich, rear flap opener, door puller, umbrella dryer, real image navigation…etc. What else does it look like?

hello, I had suggested the question, how can you switch off the driver’s seat from the warnon system while not buckled, for example if a dog or a package is located there. there have been many suggestions, software via taxi and or USA software. I have now found a simple solution. yesterday I cut off a belt on a shotgun seat. the holder in the existing passenger seat clicked, and so the warnon turned off. if a passenger is driving with a car vers chwinds the holder in the glove rack. m.f.g mercedesgrey

Hi there, hope this thread doesn’t exist exactly like this. I’m new here and I’ve already read through one or the other article as a v70 driver, and I’ve received valuable hints. I like my car (especially because of its beautiful design), but as much as I’d like to get the new D5 with 185hp now, I’m just not ready to add more than 50,000 euros for a car that is annoying with many little things: – Rain sensor: does what he wants, just not what he wants, should – Driver’s seat: squeaky and crunchy – Wheels grind at full impact (refitted original Volvo rims with 225 tyres registered as standard in the vehicle license) – RTI Navi: No comparison to the devices installed in German manufacturers. Target guidance often wrong (partially huge detours), constant recalculations, hardly any traffic jams, poor display quality of the card… – Hazy, heavy circuit – Holpriges suspension In addition, a processing quality is added inside, which does not fit a 50,000 Euro car: – Cheap looking, not angle adjustable middle armrest – Cracking in the driver’s seat, which always occurs when starting – Open visible screws on the inside of the door – Use of cheap plastic materials (e.g. for the facing of the steering column, air outlet for the foot space of the rear seats (I accidentally bumped into the car with the vacuum cleaner tube, after that he had detached himself from his holder. You want to see a really super cheap version of this topic, look under your driver’s seat), door panel, door handles, luggage room blind, etc. – poor leather quality (even after 3 years very hard and cracked despite good care) – and and and and… This list could be continued. In principle you already know all that. These are maybe small things, but honestly: can you not expect something else for a car in this price range? Have you also got a I still have a 10-year-old Audi 80 convertible, which is processed three times better than my V70. And can still be switched with my little finger. A friend of mine has the new A6 with 2.7 liter diesel engine. Also costs no more than the V70 and is processed by another star. Don’t get me wrong, doesn’t want to advertise Audi here, but I would be interested to know if you have the price le is there a relationship with Volvo o.k.? Greetings, Bartimaus
