Hello Together in the Dutch car magazine “Auto Kampioen” the S60 2.0T won a wide comparison test. Competition is: BMW 320i Audi A4 2.0T Quattro MB C200 Compressor Saab 9-3 Jaguar X-Type 2.0 The test can be found under the link:Click here for the test (After the first enlargement click on original, otherwise you can’t read it) Does Volvo pay better in NL, or can’t the editors buy at all?

Hello together, when I was standing next to my XC90D5 the other day, since my wife had once again taken hold of it, the engine sounded quite unhealthy after starting. The V-belt whistled a little and it sounded as if the parts of the engine had to look for their place. After one-of-a-kind gassing the spook was for the most part over. Even after starting the warm engine it purrs like a kitten. In my former V70D5 I never had such an effect. Now my question: normal, unhealthy? Greetings bkpaul

Hello, yesterday came up with the following problem: the outer brake lining on the rear right no longer has any lining on it, there is already metal sanding on metal. The brake disc has already Riefen outside. On the left rear wheel, however, there is still a good 4mm lining on it. Can’t actually only the brake piston go back properly anymore, right? Yesterday I drove a longer piece without braking (up and let the car roll out half way), the left brake disc was cold (i.e., i.e., only minimally), the right was lukewarm (but only minimal) Must be changed since the complete brake caliper or can you get it through cleaning again? thank you in advance Ciao, Eric

Hi people, my father received his new xc90 2.5 T three days ago. super device!!! but there are some questions: 1. we noticed that the last piece of the roof is from “plasty”. is that all xc90 so and what kind of technical purpose does this have? 2. there is a loud high frequency whistle in the area of the right passenger door with some speed. sounds like a hatch fitted door. did someone ever have that? 3. sitting memory: when setting the seats, the specher function pos 1 and 2 etc works, but loud service instructions should also be stored on the keys, meaning lock 1 opens, the seat then moves into pos 1 , key 2 in pos 2 etc. but doesn’t work. what do we do wrong? many thanks for your tips, pictureveve

Hello everyone, I know, winter tyres are currently being discussed in several articles. I have made an experience that seems funny to me: I need new winter tyres on aluminium wheels for my XC90, MY 06. Volvo’s offer is nice, but certainly not too cheap. So I asked for an offer in the www. at – reifendirekt.de – reifenversand.com – markenreifen.com – reifen-berg.de as well as by e-mail at Reifen-Krüger (point S) in Berlin. Result: Either no reaction or simple cancellations! Example of reifendirekt (allegedly largest online dealer): “Thank you for your request. Unfortunately, we have to inform you that despite intensive research in our current data stock and demand in our warehouse, we are currently unable to provide you with a corresponding offer. Perhaps, however, you will find on our website www.reifendirekt.de further articles in question.”

I tried the Lexus RX400h with hybrid drive on weekends. Overall, a decommissioning car. I used with hybrid drive approx. 12l Super to 100km. The space is modest. There is no automatic circulating air with activated carbon filter available. The navigation system works only poorly and can only be operated in the stand. It is nice that you can only drive up to 40km/h with the electric motor. Now comes the price 61,000 Euro.

“You can help us to improve the quality of our new vehicles!” is the headline of the x-th questionnaire from Volvo Car Germany GmbH. Who is also experiencing this? “How are you satisfied with the dealer?”, “How funts your workshop?”, “Has your dog grown out?”, etc. etc. etc. . Meanwhile annoyed, I called the underwriter today – it was clear that there was only a call center-tuse running. “Yes, that goes to England – and they have sooooooo much to do – that you have to understand” the battle-proven lady at the other end. No, I don’t understand it anymore, what do they do with the whole stuff ? A new data grave ? Should they just let this be and make our elk better – or cheaper – . How do you see this ? Have you had comparable experiences ? saluti elkman now again with normal blood pressure ?

Hello to all playful moose drivers, VOLVO is allegedly unable to deliver the BLIS system announced with loud marketing shout for the foreseeable time. So my latest information. Reason is probably the unreliability of the system. Too bad. But better so than so http://www.spiegel.de/auto/current/0,1518,321452,00.html Greeting from the cucumber

Good morning together, nice that the forum is online again.. Did I somehow miss… I have the following question: Does one of you know the tyre brand or company Hinghaus? It should be a company from Dissen near Osnabrück that manufactures or sells tires? According to telefonbuch.de this is the “Hinghaus Handels- u. Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbH Reifen” I found a winter tyre “Hinghaus TS790” at www.markenreifen.com. What irritates me is that there is also a winter tyre from continental with the designation TS790. The price of the Hinghaus is however extremely cheap… What should I think about it? Especially since there is apparently not really anything to find on the Internet… Gruss, Dirk

Hello, my big guy was at the 60,000 wellness cure. However, the costs surprised me. A colleague has a S60 D5, which paid about 80 euros less… I will probably compare the bills… But here my cost points: basic price 60,000er 169.40 gasket 1,23 oil filter 10,97 air filter 22,31 pollen filter 42,54 engine oil 0W30 110,18 flushing liquid 2,26 service material 4,38 power in total 363,27 net total 421,39… And now you come… In addition, an abrasion area on the edge of the backrest was treated with leather care, without calculation. Also washing, suction and dashboard dedusting. Do you find this ok? How do your 60,000 wellness cures look for a V70 II D5/2.4D? Gruss, Dirk War today with gas bomber. 140hp are too little for a V70 viiiiiiiiiiel…
