  • Sense of the 185 hp D5 in the V70/S60 with front drive

    Hello, I myself drive the 163 hp D5 with 17′ rims. This car hardly gets the power on the road. What is the 185 hp version supposed to do better apart from the final speed? What do a lot of hp and Nm help if they smoke in the anti-antish air control? Here are clearly the limits of the front drive shown. This is also shown in my permanent criticism point at the V70 – the turning circle. The new D5 makes only sense in my eyes as AWD. How do you see this? that from the aspect of the rideability, if you let the image factor “Meiner ist grosser (185 PS) als Deiner (163 PS)” out of the way. Matthias P.S.: It’s not that I don’t give everyone his 185 PS, but in contrast to the XC90, for me the V70 clearly poses the question of meaning.

  • Request for purchase advice – V70 D5

    Dear community, I am completely new here and need a purchase advice. Currently I drive a somewhat outdated Mitsubishi (is also available on mobile.de ) and want to switch to Volvo now. In the eye is a V70 with D5, EZ 02/2005, 201,000km, 5-speed switch. Equipment is quite good so far: seat heating, air conditioning automatic, memory seat, cruise control, lots of leather, RTI, audio HU-850, etc. etc. Tooth belts have also been changed and the whole device is groomed. r with TÜV until 07/2015 by almost 700€, hope to be able to trade there still at 600€. The dealer also gives 12 months warranty. Since the moose is almost 400km away from my apartment, I do not want to drive there unnecessary… Therefore: what should I pay attention to? Thanks already, you can help a used car lay abundantly

  • V70 used

    Hello everyone! I’m new here. My name is Christian, 35 years old. I came to you about the search at g….le. I turn to you because I’m in need at the moment. My great Renault Laguna started to tube the other day and instead of “only” getting an exhaust change, I got a list of defects that I’m no longer ready to have repaired. Now the purchase of a cheap, but nevertheless good and send – and above all reliable ! – new used a n. My financial possibilities are currently rather limited (just moved, 1 house and an apartment renovated…), but will soon “consolidate” (hopefully..) The time is pressing something because I need a car for work (daily 50 km drive) and currently my mother’s Corsa has to hold on. In the online search I have also stepped on the V70 (which I think has been very cool for a long time). That is needed partly very cheaply at the well-known market places – all I’ve already had a bit of a geek here and come to the conclusion that the Volvos are quite reliable after all. Well a question to you experienced moose driver: is it worth buying a V70 with ~150,000-200.000 km for 3,000-4,000€ ? or is there in Bälde with bigger things or even that to expect? Is a diesel still worth it nowadays with an annual driving performance of 15,000 km ? I hope you can give me a little advice and advice. To stand by the side, unfortunately I have quite little idea of cars.

  • Shouting sounds between 60 and 90 km/h, when braking away!

    Hello community, I’m new and I’m coming up with a problem of my XC70, year 2006, 140000 km, which I don’t get to the bottom of. It started about 30000 km ago and is now worryingly increasing. Between 60 and 90 km/h the car starts to grow louder and louder and vibrates very easily, noticeable e.g. in the hand brake lever. It’s much louder in the rolling than under load. When I brake it stops completely. It’s enough to go on the brake very easily without any significant delay. I have had the XC on stage and controlled wheel bearings and cardan shaft. The joint on the motor side has a light side play. The cross joint in the middle makes a firm impression, also the rubber cuff looks good. The joint to the rear axle also makes a good impression when wobble around. The typical wheel bearing noises are also not. In no corner ride it gets worse or better. kstatt taps on the weights in the coupling, which are probably supposed to make the dome more comfortable. That would be the most expensive variant. But the workshop has been wrong to my displeasure. I doubt something. Does anyone have experience with this noise development? Wheel bearings, cardan shaft joints or the coupling? Three experts have scratched their heads already. Who helps? I’m curious about the answers. Greetings from the South of the Republic, Axel

  • It’s done… 200,000Km are done!

    In 365 days there were about 30tsd kilometers on the Tachoblatt. Whether in the summer at 40 degrees in Croatia with Wova in tow, on the German highways with 200kmh top (not 190kmh measured according to Volvo .. by TomTom) or in the winter in Tyrol, the Volvo XC90 D5 Momentum always remained true to me and completed the kilometers almost without complaint. Except for a wheel bearing reperature of 1200.- (axle legs disturbed during the expansion.. mean, since everything was rusted), various bearings (axle leg bearings will get tomorrow The long-distance comfort is at Mercedes level. This is only slightly weakened, since no AT, but I prefer to avoid the problems… April 2013: Purchase price: 13200.- (at that time purchase price HANDLER 15400.-) -> So ridicule bought with 170,000km April 2014: Value according to dealer 11500.- Since our state has increased the engine-related insurance… THANK YOU …. Anyway, b is 400,000km it should hold and then I am really satisfied with my northern light Even after 200,000km of the interior one almost does not look at it. The switches still look like on the 1st day.. The leather and the shift knob show about weary but everything still in limits The car was up to 140,000km a representative car and always waited from Volvo. Tomorrow comes the picture.. Tomorrow the 2 front.. Today’s km stand see picture Bin proud of him and hope he doesn’t reveal me so fast, but hey, it’s a VOLVO! Greeting Sebi

  • Inspection at V70 D II + 50,000 km

    Hello together! I have bought my Volvo V70 II diesel 2.4 liters for about 1.5 years now. I used it at the time. At the time of delivery the 2nd inspection was done. Now the car has been annoying for 4 months that I should do the next inspection after all. After the Volvo dealer here in Cologne did not react to an mail, I called today. For the 3rd inspection (with me as mentioned canpp 50,000) they want to have nevertheless smooth 550 euro. In addition still new disk wipers. Here ha b i don’t have a price. I expected 300 euros. But these are prices that are beyond my imagination. And when they find something then it starts. What do you have to pay for prices like this? … or am I just very sensitive???

  • Some questions about the V70/2 and the 2.4d/D5

    Good day, I am interested in a new old used car. Since we have now bought a caravan for our motorsport weekends and this with 1200Kg is already relatively heavy I have once looked for a V70/2 and found an object of desire (currently a 2.0 T5 in the 850 is my train car, but you notice that it has at the rear 1200Kg clearly at the consumption by 15,8L). For more is unfortunately not the necessary small change available (otherwise it would be an XC70/III become) But now I have a few questions: 1. Electronic problems, a lot of things left and you hear about the P26s, what does this look like with vehicles from Bj.03 ? 2. Are there any special weak points of the P26 which you should keep in mind directly during a visit ? 3. 2.4d/D5 Differences, my parents have an S80 II D5 with 185hp, is it basically the same engine, only with more smoke and without DPF ? Which chess points have these motors and how durable is the automatic in Bez 4. SKN Provides an increase in power to 195hp and 405Nm torque for the 163hp engine, because someone has had experience, how does the automatic react to the increase in torque? I thank you so much for reading and answering the questions. It greets CZEA1989

  • Interior blower always happens randomly when the vehicle is switched off

    Moin together, I have an electronic problem in my Volvo V70 II. Although the vehicle is off and closed, the fan for the interior is randomly operated at the highest level. This can happen after 20 min or after 5 hours. Quite randomly. The blower then until the battery is empty. Then I always have to turn on ignition and it goes off again, or on the adjustment which is in the air conditioning. Therefore, I always jam the battery as soon as I get the W the next morning the battery is empty. I have already changed the climate control unit, got a used one from Ebay, but didn’t do anything, the car still does that. Vlt. there are here which could narrow down something I should look for. Thank you very much, MFG Sascha PS: Sorry, I landed in the wrong subforum, can you still move the thread?
