Good morning, after we have announced new generations and the OHL is already looking for luxury prams (as comortable as I would have liked to have been carriaged through the area at that time), we are currently thinking about a change of our V50. Because the pram may fit in, but quite a lot more than that. We no longer need a diesel, which is why I am considering the following vehicle at the moment: www.autoscout24.de/Details.aspx?id=vfnxufxifnnw I would be very grateful for a short assessment of your part (the motorization was discussed sufficiently, I consulted SUFU), I think there should be something else in price, the car stands for almost a year. Thank you for your opinions, Gruss vom Fred

What kind of greeting at lunchtime, two days ago, when turning right into a gyro, suddenly and unexpectedly with a loud bang on the front left, broke the front spring. Luckily above the tire, so that it was not damaged. The subsequent change of both front feathers made my wallet not insignificant. Unit price per feather: 110 EURO, the rest I give myself. The fracture picture shows brittle breaking behavior, ‘like a small zone of a notch or similar. My displeasure about the failure of such a part at an XC 70, MY04/04, km 143,000 had to be listened to by my KD consultant. Likewise, my urgent request to him to present the case at VCG as a Volvo car house, the feathers still lie with him, and from his side towards Kulanz / Gutschrift / whatever to argue. Zumal, such a damage to his statement following him until now would only have come under him and just at ‘n XC something like that should happen. The Forum should have been sent to me now, but also something to Gibcan.

Hello Volvo driver, my V70 is now 6 years old and has 96000 km down. Stand at Volvo until now only for regular inspection in the workshop. When my elk got sick last week, very loud cracking when driving and on bad roads (which are too enough) I drove on the Voderaxe to the friendly!. To the service belongs that you listen to this cracking times and take the car up sometimes to look where it comes from, BUT NOTHING. Got an appointment 9 days later. Today I was in a free workshop where my wife always drives with her old Ford, the friendly man looked under it immediately and determined that the carrying joint on the right Voderrad was broken and whether the bike would have remained on it for the 5 days is questionable. Conclusion: car could be repaired immediately and picked it up an hour later. It is nice that a free workshop offers such good service and from work wage only costs a third person than the friendly one. My Elch will only see this workshop, even to the inspections. I have had the friendly experience of having had the bad one over me.

Hello Together on the search for an SUV I got to Mercedes ML and BMW X5 at the beginning of the week at a dealer around the corner on an XC90. Now I snuck around the car almost daily and had it shown to me today. It is an XC 90 2.5 T as 7 seater in very well maintained condition year 2004 with 175000km as automatic. The car up to an AHK everything and is priceless without negotiating just under 10,000 €. Inspection and timing belts were changed a year or before 20,000 km. Vehicle is checkbook maintained. I have now read the whole Internet to the car empty for days 🙂 On Monday I make a test drive and then we see on. On top of that, except for a butter-soft switching from the gearbox and no cracking of the steering I should pay special attention. To Zhema AHK, I need one and what I find on the internet will stop at 2250 kg of trailer load. If there is something else, the above mentioned colleagues pack up to 3.5 t. But I can not use that for a hang too much. I have a lot of information on the back.

Hello, I am currently considering purchasing a Volvo xc90 for my family. What should I pay special attention to in this context: BJ: no matter 120KW diesel manual gearbox 5 seat checkbook maintained Max: 170000KM mileage Price up to max: 14,000€ Are running speeds up to 170000Km of concern?? I have already informed myself about the running costs. It is all a little more expensive than e.g. with a V70, but you also have a very comfortable car. My wife is particularly important in this context the safety aspect of an SUV. (Otherwise she would never have agreed to a large/premature car). Does anyone have any information about actual consumption? On average, you should probably get along with 10,0L, or? In the past, I have never dealt with such “spice cars” and was always “reasonable” in my vehicle choice. Currently, I drive a Dacia Logan and have the need for a “right” car I am grateful for all tips and hints!

Hello together It’s logical that you can give too much gas when you start and then lose the wheel attraction and slide a little bit. With my colleagues driving the BMW 528xi or Opel etc. the DSC lights up in the middle of the speedometer but that’s not the case with me. I rarely slide but if I slip then only briefly but it never lights up. The DSC button is activated when the LED button is on above the DSC button and that’s also the case with me. I drive a Volvo S 80 Premium A 2.9l Question: If you lose the traction at the front, does Volvo also light up traction control at the speedometer inside? Thanks for your answers. gruss jimmy

Hello “old Sweden” :-), I am 25 years old, I have been living in Berlin for a long time and am still driving Opel and now after many years Cabrio (Astra G) and a Corsa, finally long-distance comfort. I am interested in a – S80 – Bj. mitte 2005 – leather, Navi, standing heater, sliding roof etc. I think it is the executive equipment line, but I don’t know myself with Volvo yet so well. – D5 – 163 hp – 95,000 kilometers down – good condition when driving I noticed that when turning left (standing) there was a single noise to hear. It listened as if an additional unit has switched on. But the standing heater was off! Since the car is relatively large and heavy, I suspect that the servo pump might cause these noises. Since I don’t want to make an expensive repair right after I turn to you with this problem. Can you know this problem? Which component could this be necessary? Is a repair necessary? Many thanks in advance, Cab1.8

Hello, after now 16 years of golf gurking I want to finally switch to the league of the more pleasant driver’s office and love the Volvo V70 for a long time. Especially since I would like to offer my wife and my little daughter a maximum of possible safety. Not to mention the additional space (stowroom). And he looks chic also ;o) I have come across quite favorable offers in the range of the model years 2004-2005. One stands out, but this is the model year 2004. What has happened in the model year change to 2005 at the V70 D5, what would justify a “extra price” of good 1500-2000 euros (apart from age)? I am concerned with eliminated (material) weaknesses, which the 2004er had yet to succumb to, but the 2005er no more.. or the other way 😉 Or has safety done something? Was the DPF installed as standard from 2005 on? Questions about questions. With please answer.

Hello Volvo friends, I have a little concern. For several years I have dreamed of driving an everyday sportsman, which I will buy after my training. I did a lot of research and found some, which corresponds to my ideas. First the Civic Type-R, then the Focus ST, then the Mazda 6 MPS, then the Mazda 3 MPS (which was my absolute favourite for a very long time) and now 3 days ago I came across the Volvo S60 R, which moves on the used car market about in the same price segment, but offers a lot more. Now I wanted to ask you if it is worth driving this car, since I have not yet tried it and found no driving reports. How does the car drive from the feeling and the haptics? How does it look with the running costs? Is the car very vulnerable to repairs? From what mileage does it not pay any more? I found a few offers starting from 15,000 euros, but with a right high mileage. I would drive the car very long, until it can afford to give me the answers, if you can even recommend a car with a gross fee?

Hello dear Foris, I have found an interesting car and I am not sure if it makes sense for me to buy it. I hope to benefit from your experience. I describe the car simply briefly: Volvo V70 Bi Fuel (from the factory), mileage: 129,000 km engine capacity: 2435 cm3 Year of manufacture: 2006 Power: 103 kW / 140 hp Fuel type: natural gas (CNG) )directly installed from the factory); 5 transmission: automatic; first registration: 4/2006; Euro 4. The fun is to cost 13.490 euros. Is the price ok? I drive about 35 Tkm a year and need a reliable car. What experiences do you have with Bi Fuel? How is the supply/network with the filling stations for CNG in Germany to assess? I am happy about your assessments and assessments!
