Hello, yesterday with my V 70 2.4D (My03), which I have been driving since January, on the occasion of the 60 000 km maintenance was the first time in a Volvo workshop. Overall impression quite positive, price exactly 350 Euro – with 60-T maintenance probably ok. Turbo hoses changed on warranty/coldness, car inside and outside cleaned – something I had previously experienced with other manufacturers with two and a half years old cars and 60 000 km never (clear plus points for Volvo or this Volvo dealer). However, the biggest surprise was then negative, however, Volvo can do nothing for it: Despite built-in electronic marten protection there had been a marten bite. somehow hit the lowest air hose. This exchange of course does not go on guarantee/culence. Conclusion and opinion of the workshop: Even electronic marten protection is not 100% sure. (Also also “home remedies” like cat hair etc….) Greeting Gerd (oh yes: rented off unfortunately extra 29 Euro via cooperation company. Was a “Klapper-Schepper”-V 50D 50, which I loved in the evening) again.

Hi together, where can you get the one XC90 V8 chip tune – sometimes loosely 100hp more or something? Should be in there? Of course it must be “invisible” for the inspection – possibly an OBD box?! I would also like to know how to help the XC90 V8 EXE with a rear spoiler to more ground grip. And – can I degrade the BMW shark-d net antenna with my neighbour and mount it on a V8 as an additional control unit? Shouldn’t the driving stability be increased, right? Or is there a tuner who does it right away? Since I don’t have any more coal -> the normal brakes are enough, right? Are all oversized, so with safety impact and so on, or? Good ride! Torsten – the XC fan (and that just had to get out ;-))

Hello together ! Don’t you also think that the 17″ or 18″ rims on the XC90 look pretty micky ? I play with the idea to pull me 20-inch on it. But is not that easy, because: With the dimension 9.5 x 20″ the TÜV requires an exhibition of the wheel houses. If possible also 660, – for a wheelhouse cover of Volvo. This is of course not so funny. I have now come with my rim dealer to the point that I prefer an 8 x 20″ rim instead of 9.5 x 20, where no bodywork is necessary and where nevertheless 265/45/20 fits on it. Has any of you experiences with 20″ rims and TÜV registrations at the XC90 ? Gruss, Limbo

Hello together, for a few weeks I have increased the problem with a full soot filter. So far it was mostly only in winter a problem, that I got every few weeks after many city trips the message that the filter was full. I am then also on the highway and have burned it free. But now it is for a few weeks that I get this message almost every week after approx. 200 km city (short distance) rides and I have to burn the filter free. Did you have this problem in the frequency already before? Since I have the car on the highway about every 2 weeks on the weekends nice marching, it should not really be that the filter after the relatively few city kilometers is so crowded!? Could the filter also be broken? For tips thank you! Greeting Bergdoc

Hello together. I’ve been driving a Volvo s80 2.9l bj. 2004 for 5 months now. The color is silver met. Now to the point. My father drives a black met. Mercedes e-class I drive a Volvo s80 silver met. and with me the birds always shit on the car and not on the Mercedes. The Mercedes is standing just next to my car but always gets my cracker :s ^^ I cleaned it up today and washed it afterwards I went home to eat. After an hour I went to my car and what do I see? Bird shit on my roof on the hood and outside mirror. I already have a garage but if I take my car out for the weekend every time ^^ I bought the car in Genve but lived 300km further away in eastern Switzerland at Lake Constance. But I don’t think the birds have followed me What do you mean…is that it’s the color? or do I just have bad luck? gruss jimmy

our new XC70 OR is almost there hello together. my wife and I did it and ordered us an XC70 OR D5 in the march. now it is almost there and unfortunately stands still until next Friday at the dealer, because the trailer coupling is retrofitted. am curious if it is also as reliable as our vw bora, which we have driven more than 6 years without any problems. I hope that the all-wheeler proved itself, especially in winter with trailer. the all-wheel drive should not have been so great so far, but has been apparently improved. since someone has experiences with the instant traction system and geartronic? thanks for your answer. XC70 OR d5 185 ps – geartronic – radio 850 – navi – telephone – all-leather – all-leather layers alu silver – stand heating – hanger coupling

Hello everyone! I have the impression that the V70 has a corrosive poltriges chassis. Especially in the rear, driving over bumps sounds so stupid. The car was driven from 2005 and only 15,000 km. I often have the comparison to other cars. So I like the Scorpio in the suspension much better! The Volvo automatic transmission (170 hp gasoline) is not so stupid either. Here and there Ruckeln and when turning then the 2nd gear goes in, he doesn’t have to! And if you then give gas, it jerks more, the 2nd is inside, but 2 seconds later the 3rd gear again. Senseless switching operations. Is not my car, but I would never spend so much money for it.

For example, I’m not sure that I’m a little bit tired of having a baby seat. Why? 1. the problems of a non-Volvo Isofix seat are still quite well known to me, but the fact that I’m a little tired of having a baby seat for children from 9kg to 18kg. 2. my son has now reached the threshold to the integrated child seat (97cm and 15kg, 3 years), at least according to Volvo. So I bought the cover with a side pölster and headrest. When I took it away, it turned out that the headrest is far too high, which was commented by the dealer with the words, “that’s only for sleeping and not as protection!” My humble view as a doctor needs a 3 year old child in a serious side crash very well a support of the head! In addition, when sleeping, my child seat is always worthless because the rest position of the rear seat does not offer enough comfortable sleeping position to me, and a small child needs to sleep in the car. The belt is dangerously close to the neck.

So, now I have them also behind mr – the test drive in the V8. Besides expected shadow sides (about 3l more fuel consumption compared to my small hand switched gasoline) and expected sun sides (the 100 hp more fun) there was also unexpected. Unexpectedly great, the sovereignty was at 50% gradients. Where my 2.5T moans and the Geartronic of the soot particle fraction gives severe odors of heated oil, this car ran untorted with less than 2000 revolutions/min lightly feet up the mountain (This configuration of an XC 90 does not need any understatement!!!). Whether the 6 gear automatic, the large engine or just instant traction is responsible for this, I don’t know. Was in any case classes better compared to other XC 90 models. Unexpectedly was the switching behavior of the 6 gear automatic beyond the 50km/h?

Hello, I fell in love with the Volvo S80! I am relatively tall and not the narrowest. Now it should be a diesel and automatic of this Volvo S80 D5 Black Edition 1-Hand Limo 5T Diesel for 7,300 € at mobile.de: http://mobile.de/222F6Z is quite cheap only unfortunately Euro 3 can be retrofitted. Have around the corner still the stand.Volvo S 80 D 5 Momentum for 13,970 € at mobile.de: http://mobile.de/23H740 Am on top of what I should do. He should hold a few years, put no value on old or new model. I read new model Should Ne be so great. Please help me make a decision. I want a new car 🙂
