  • Volvo S60 CNG experiences?

    Hi, on Wednesday I get from the Volvo dealer a V70 with the 140hp natural gas engine for an extensive test drive.. Would have rather taken the S40 or V50, but there is no engine 🙁 Since the V70 is not my case, the S60 would be my alternative. Of course my own impression will be decisive, but comments or experiences from you would still be desirable.

  • How expensive is your…

    I’m just looking for a new second car, because my current one will probably get annoying again in the winter. On the way to the new one I tried to determine the costs per km. For fun I did this for my elk, which in contrast to the second car has been kept in stock. I was then a little surprised because it was not as cheap as expected. What interests me now is how much you let your elk cost, and when a good point for a change has come. Here a few frame data from me: old elk (Volvo 850 TDI): 2,74 cent/km current elk (Volvo V70-II 2.5D): 5,12 cent/km the annoying thing with 4 wheels: 1,92 cent/km Explanations: 1) I have calculated the sum of all inspections/repairs/discovery parts (->reifing) calculated on the driven km. 2) the thing with 4 wheels is not an eight-year-old braat and I really don’t want to talk about it on more than 4 km!

  • V70 D5 Order

    Yes, I’ve had a new V70, Euro4, automatic and then something like that: To the dealer and told him what I’m looking for, he points out: hm, that’s difficult, Euro4 there’s only 6 gears and a new automatic transmission is available about September (prerequisite for Euro 4) I’m telling him, no problem, I have another car, just don’t want to buy me a new winter tires On that he: hm, could become November… but if he can book an order soon, I would be one of the first ones to get it. By the way, the car will be built in Belgium. So I’m kind of beta tester for the new automatic transmission…. And the dealer: hm, that’s not good, that’s why we’re building a well, so my female has to park backwards, so parking help would be something…. And the dealer: hm, that’s just behind, for the front, we’re equiping it…. well, so it’s not bad. And the dealer doesn’t give me an old question, and he’s never got it’s never been old.

  • Height of the XC90 ??

    Hello XC90 friends, I also ordered a D5 with Geartronic these days – the price for the Geartronic was set by my friend with 2.3oo Euro by the way. I hope that will be corrected a little bit down. But my actual question is another one. I am currently building a carport and want to make sure that if the moose is delivered I can also open the tailgate without hitting the roof. Could one of you please measure the height I have to consider – as said highest point with open tailgate. A thousand thanks !

  • 1 year with our S60D5

    ..or 23000km with fun! Mal ‘ne small balance: still enthusiastic about the Volvo !!! + optics still likes super good + great consumption: we drive quite normal and a little faster with 6,0L – 6,4L on 100km (less city traffic) + no signs of reperature signs (hope that that remains so!!!) + the D5 (normal 163PS) still makes a lot of fun (suit, running behavior), even if one gets used to performance quite quickly. + seats and comfort on longer driving are/is great + xenon light enthusiastic + rain sensor works (approx. 98%ig) …. (list still long) a few points, which are not so dolle: – turning circle or the somewhat less in handiness (overviewability) is sometimes a little annoying – leg freedom in the rear katastophal or. there is no longer any fitting again, if like in our case, in front almost 196cm want to sit – side disks thickened during extended rain rides is at least – be told from Belgium – the same thing.

  • EU Commission criticises CO2 emissions

    Yesterday it was once again on the radio. The EU Commission criticized the vehicle industry that the CO2 emissions from the industry promised 25% in 10 years, only half. Here, the CO2 emissions of all sold cars were used. I see my opinion about cars á la XC90, but also about such boxes as the S80 V8 was fully confirmed once again. I fear the mine for a few unlearnables will come all car drivers and consumers in the form of state regulations. I am happy to be stoned. As far as the choice of the forum is concerned: certainly applies to all Markenforen where SUFF and Co., but now this is still my home forum, and with Honda, I can spare myself the criticism because there is the only SUV, the CR-V is significantly smaller. It is also not to be overlooked that the majority of the new appearances of the class of the compact SUVs is being renewed, but the WHNS are behind it. From the full-size á la Voyran is playing off to the level, however, the tour lift is not going down.

  • Driving-in rules

    Hello guys, In 3 weeks I get my new XC70 D5 AT. According to my friend, I don’t need to pay attention to driving rules. Also, the engine doesn’t need an oil change after the first 5t km. It doesn’t seem to me this year. Every new machine needs a certain care at the beginning. Has the engine and transmission management programmed a “drive-in softwae” which releases the full power after a few t km?? Who can give me more information? Gruss köbi

  • Valuable ?????

    But now I’m flattened. I asked for 530D or A6 3.0 at BMW and Audi.They want to count me straight 26500 or 27000 euros for my S80.05.2004 D5 with absolute full equipment and 40tkm on the clock incl. 17 Winteralus NP 49800.In the list is the “Premium car” depending on whether Schwacke or DAT with 21 or 23.5 thousand euros. That’s what I call customer loyalty with Volvo… there is no other thing left.
