Hello all, my V70 II is currently in the Volvo workshop wg. grim suspension noise from the rear part of the vehicle. Diagnosis of the workshop: both rear shock absorbers have to be replaced. Before I get upset about it now, the short question whether it is normal that shock absorbers are worn after 100,000 km or 5 years respectively? Never have my car been heavily loaded and drive completely moderate. The shock absorbers on my 12 year old Audi are still impeccable (have I I’d like to hear from you about your experiences.

Hi guys, I ordered one of the last Black Editions of the S60 D5. Can anyone tell me which extras are very worthwhile? Have hands-free system and fog lights in addition. Is the external amplifier worth it? How sensitive is the normal laking? Bzw. Is the metallic laking much more resistant? Does anyone have the Nebula rims here? They look so super horny! How much do they cost? I am grateful for all the tips. Greeting Victor

Hello you moose driver, have another question for the entry phase of my XC 90 D5. I drove now approx. 1000km and would now like to know from when I can fully burden him. I have not received any condensed advice so far. Would you be very grateful if your moose tested user could tell me this. Would also like to know where the final speed is. (not chipped). Greetings from Micha XC

Hello, it’s summer time. Since I left at around 18:00 to go to the city, where I always park in a parking lot, which is free from 18:00, I was surprised that my S60 showed up on arrival 17:33. So I remembered again: we have summer time. So quickly imagine an hour. Press and turn the button, as I was used to by my VW to change between adjustment of hours and minutes: does not work. here is 60 minutes to introduce. Did I not discover any special facial expressions of the button, or is it really just like that? Greetings, Olli

Hey guys! I’ve been having the following problem lately: By spring I wanted to have the rear side windows and the rear window glued with tinting foil for visual protection and thermal protection in summer. So far, so good. But since I have an alarm system, my thoughts about possible problems with the interior sensor are enthused. The radio antenna is no problem. But what happens to the sensor loops produced on the disc, if you just glue it over? Does the inside function? nraummonitoring then still or is the film cut out around the sensors, because the things seem to be in the direction of the interior? Maybe someone already had the same problem and knows how to report. Thanks and greetings

Hello, I once again informed my importer whether there are fundamental differences in the basic construction stage compared to German cars in reimports, e.g. from Italy. As I already suspected, this is not the case, since the vehicles are manufactured in the same plant (I believe Belgium) and this would be far too expensive in series production. It was the talk of smaller brakes and so. For example, DSTC in Italy is not a series but it is to be chosen as an extra. It probably also applies to the hardware of the heater. Can I of course only refer to the statement of the dealer who wants to sell his cars. If I have mine (V70D5) then finally (Mid April; hope I) I will keep you informed whether there are still striking differences. Greeting, Flodder

Hello, the new price list is available at www.volvocars.de. I have not yet discovered new photos.

Need your experience wanted to make a tour of 750 km next week Bavaria, can I tell you if it brings V Power to refuel or Super Plus from consumption and driving behavior ?? Or should you rather save yourself the money. So have automatic tank at time always only Super can bring my consumption but not under 12 liters with normal driving whites on than land . 225/ tire 83000km.

I would like to know what the XC 90 looks like if the bumpers are painted back or front and sides in car color. Original are these plastic parts black. An image of an XC 90 in which all black plastic parts are painted would be great!

Of course it must be called “official” Volvo drivers. There the fingers were faster again, sorry. We have now bought a 2002 V70 2.4T Premium, switch with combi/luxury package and sliding roof in sapphire black. Prima car, great equipment, feel-good ambience in the interior, the engine a bit soft (heico or mr sweden will probably change this for me ) and the price was also ok. Well the Saab has not yet quite said goodbye from my heart, so have to see about this. But I hope the V70 will become after a small fresh cell cure (as I said heico/mrschweden, stainless steel exhaust system, “R” front apron, 18 inches – that was the negotiated price with my wife to switch to a family-friendly variant ) What I have seen here in the Volvo forum so far, I felt as extremely pleasant, sympathetic, informative and if necessary self-critical.
