Hello, I want to spend my morning in the car as I am used to it from home. I get quite well: – The coffee and the rolls I get transported safely and at hand. – Thanks to the great tips I can see the breakfast TV during the ride, preferably in the dense traffic of the Rush hour. Outside the World Cup however, the program goes to the cookie. – To be perfectly informed, I read the FAZ during the ride. You can hold it perfectly in front of the steering wheel, it then covers only the lower half of the front window and the instruments. A glance is passing by and you can see the TV from the corner of the eye. – In front of children’s gardens and schools you have to drive anyway slowly, because I am still on the phone, otherwise I am unloaded. So, now to PROBLEM: It is too narrow in the elk, I can drive and with coffee in the hand do not flip over . Does someone know that, that has to go?

Hello, since I will soon have a new car and among other things a S80 is for discussion I would like to know if there are typical weak points in the car that should be paid attention to when buying it? On equipment the car should be relatively complete (automatik, Navi, Leder, Telefon, Parksystem, Xenon…). I currently have an offer for a 2.0T from 2003 with 15 000 km. At how much KM are approx. new brake discs, track rods or whatever? The car will move mainly in the city maybe 80 KM highway a week. What costs e.g. a new automatic, brake discs or track rods? What of the unnecessary toy is quickly broken (with my Audi spins zb the volume control of the radio costs just 700 euros to exchange)? Unfortunately I am very pre-loaded by my Audi and would not want to buy a car again what after two years just next to spare parts for 4000. Had before two Alfas over 120tkm and actually don’t know such problems.

Hello Elchfreunde, am now already 3 weeks happy XC90 D5 owner and feel in my big guy like God in France. But certain things can get you out of it sometimes because ́s annoying When shopping I put the shopping basket on the passenger seat and I started driving. It beeps and beeps and doesn ́t stop anymore. I still think, I am strapped on. Meanwhile even the radio sound is interrupted. Now I get on so slowly that my co-driver the gentleman “shopping basket” was not strapped on. I caught up and look, the annoying beeper was gone. Later I tested the whole thing again and come to the result: Either put the basket in the trunk or on the ground instead of the seat. Does anyone know if the beeper can be put off? The annoying!!!!!!

Hi together Bin aus der SChweiz and would like to buy a Volvo XC90 D5. Looking for an unbeatable price I arrived at the homepage of Jütten and Koolen Switzerland. Price XC90 D5 Kinetic 33 513 euro Is much less than anything I have seen so far. Well, J&K don’t deliver the vehicle to me in Switzerland I have to pick it up myself in NRW. Earlier the “Vertrsagsparnter in NRW want to have 16% down payment that the vehicle is really being carried out. Question: J&K as a middle company OK? Can this drive be delivered really soo cheap?? What experiences have you done so.. Thanks and gruss tirggel

1st place XC 90 D5: + Volvo dealers are rightly called the FRIENDLY + cars for test drive is preheated on arrival + huge boot + very good interior equipment + splashy engine + significantly cheaper + leasing (100,000 km, 4 years, 10,000 € down payment) approx. 200 €/month cheaper – no sports seats – no ski bag 2nd place Touareg 2,5 TDI: – high consumption – “playy” interior equipment – significantly more expensive 3rd place X3 3.0d: + MP3 option – BMW dealers do not strive for customers – with 6 dealers in 50 km radius no car for test drive available – simple, “cheap” interior equipment – significantly more expensive

Hello @all, I actually come from the V50 forum and would like to purchase an XC90 in the near future. I would like to ask you to answer one or the other question. Thank you for this in advance! Is the introduction of the XC90 with RPF in autumn 2005 secure and what does it look like at this time with the RPF problem? Which delivery time has to be realistically reckoned with? Which engine variants (diesel) will there be for the XC90 with RPF? Thanks again! Have a nice day!

The new bumpers look better compared to the predecessor, the radiator grille actually also, if not this oversized Volvo emblem would stick on it. The stainless steel strip on the trunk hood is inconspicuous. The new flashers in the outside mirrors (EU regulations) in my eyes nonsense, but if it has to be. I can’t say anything about the xenons, because the car was equipped with H7. In the interior the new delusions of the switches looked quite pleasant, the velours seats looked inviting. ABER ALU BÜRSTED Echt Sch*** Plastik Potthäßlich Ko** Wü** ..so the overall good impression was completely destroyed. Greeting Thomas

Hello together! Now I have to confess it to you: sold my XC90 today and… bought another car. Yes, you heard right, I’ve become Volvo unfaithful. And to put on one more thing: my new car has nothing in common with the big one. Except perhaps: it’s also quite big… It’s… a Chrysler 300C (CRD of course). It’s clear that this doesn’t necessarily have undivided enthusiasm… But you have to be able to do little stupid things, too? Jürgen knows it already. Got me when I was sneaking around Chrysler in Essen last Sunday… I hope I can still occasionally act as a guest speaker here in the forum…?? And at the latest when Volvo finally brings the long awaited 6-cylinder diesel the cards are remixed… Many greetings to everyone and… please forgive me !!! 😉

Hello, today we were able to take our Dickelch (color: titangrey metallic) with 2 weeks delay at the reception. As promised by the friendly, there was for free a small remote controllable elk in silver. I chose the diesel machine with 185 hp. In addition to the already rich equipment variant Executive he has: – Inscription anthracite/anthracite/anthracite (doors/seats/armature board) – BLIS – GSM phone – PDC back – Defalling engine designation Tachostand upon delivery: 12 km A few photos follow.

Hello people! After 8 months I have the first serious problem with my moose: For about 3 weeks there has been a creepy loss of performance. Did my special riser ramp come up last weekend and this morning the warning light exhaust gas cleaning system lit me. But no message in the display. Acceleration like an old beetle with 34hp. (With a similar problem with my 480 was the catalyst) Does anyone have an idea before I contact my dealer? Greetings Thomas …no, no problems with the car gas system: Error is present in petrol and car gas operation. But warranty will certainly be discussed.
