  • Passenger airbag

    Have a stupid question, but where does the passenger airbag come out. V70 D5. With other vehicles was always there somewhere a shut. But with me is nothing but glove compartment. Or can I not see properly ?? Or did they forget him ??

  • Give gas and – nothing happens

    Good morning to everyone, to come straight to the topic: I drive so with 160km/h and cruiser on the AB, one comes from behind and wants to overtake well well I think, let him pass-give gas and pull to the right ==> nee, nee wrong, it must be called I want to give gas and pull to the right, and ?> nothing happens, short jerking and the tacho needle remains like nailed to 160km/h. Cruise out, nothing happens, gone off the gas (to 140km/h), then give gas again and <> nothing happens. Then at 140km/h the fun was over. After about 10 minutes the car was allowed to slip back to normal again. 2o minutes later change to another AB, on the slanting strip I wanted to get inside before the truck, thought speed remained at about 60km/h, box jerked a little, didn’t let itself be moved to accept the gas. Again about 5 minutes later everything was normal. No error.

  • XC90 rear wheel bearing at the end

    Not quite a year old and approx. 20,000 km driven and already strange sounds at speed 40-80 have adjusted with my Dickelch. Diagnosis of the : wheel bearing in the back must be changed. And I was not at all with the car in the terrain, but only good on the road. Is now a guarantee case, but I hope the problem does not appear all 20,000 km. Greeting Brian

  • 8 weeks m S60 D5 185PS problems

    8 weeks m. S60 D5 185PS – Problems Moin, I would like to describe my experiences with the S60 D5 (185 hp) in the following time. I drive the car since the 30.06.2005. The following problems occurred up to the cheerful days: 1. Steering wheel was wrong at delivery. The s was fixed by the dealer immediately. 2. When starting (whether forward or backward) was a cracking to hear. This came according to the FH from a warehouse. Also this was fixed at the first workshop visit. 3. The bad NAVI TMC problems. Were fixed by playing up the updates (as far as I could test it). 4. Foam looked down from the engine room. Also this was fixed at the second workshop date. 5. The turbo hose slipped at 4300 KM. The car was only 80-100 KmH fast. Duration 3 days! 6. The nervousest at all: Wind noise at the B-pillar on the driver’s side. The dealer has already done 2 attempts to eliminate this, but can’t find anything else for me. If I’ve had to do something else.

  • Disable DSTC

    Hi guys! Ask a question. Does anyone know how to turn off the DSTC completely? If you shut it off by a button, it’s not completely off, but only the threshold from which it is regulated is higher. I want to have the part completely off. I don’t want to start a discussion here about meaning and nonsense of DSTC. Just know how to turn it off completely. Can you possibly also do this via the software? Thank you in advance! Greetings bluediamond

  • Kaufberatung V70 bifuel

    Dear forum members, since I would like to drive my convertible C70 for a long time, I want to spare it for the winter. Think of a Bifuel V70, which was offered to me as a demonstration car. I have now heard many negative comments about the vehicle in my research here in the forums and am not sure if the defects refer only to older years of construction. Have the car tested a weekend, also gas fuelled and am very satisfied. Who of you has experience with the current Bifuel? I am very grateful for every hint!! Paul

  • XC 90 V8 executive….

    In front of the front door for the test drive. More precisely: XC 90 V8, exec., 7-seater, saphirschwarz First impression: the pure mjölnir or hammer! Unfortunately, you don’t hear much about the blubbering. On leisurely driving one hears of the V8 nothing at all, while giving a gentle gas a quiet gushing and during the kickdown an animal roar. To the ambience I can not say too much, is identical to my own. The new 6-speed automatic is excellent. It speaks much faster and switches, as one could not do better by hand. No comparison to the normal Schwabbeltronic. The chassis is tighter than in the normal XC90, but not uncomfortable. With the new Haldex was so far no difference on the roads well cleared at the time. I am about 100 km on federal roads and inner city on the road – consumption 15.6 L according to BC. Conclusion: A fantastic car with no power at the end. With the kickdown, the Lend turn is completely on. For this car you should not have to drive more expensive than a car.

  • What tires?

    Hello, which summer tires, in size 225/45ZR17 are best? for 2 pieces my father paid with a dealer almost 450€. (inclusive balancing etc…) I mean, tires are already much cheaper, these were also michelin, as far as I know. nevertheless they should be good, because the car is often driven out and so … so cheap matures come in no case in question, but sometimes even the somewhat cheaper matures are better, than the expensive michelin. so, what recommendation would you have??? nice would be brand and exactly article number, so that I can ask on site at the tyre dealer sometimes, if he can get the etc.!? About answers I would be happy!!! MFG Christian
