Dear Volvo community! I’ve been looking around the VOLVO forum for the last few days, it’s great and this is supposed to be my first addition. After a V40, V50, I have now ordered an XC90 D5 GT black, which should come in the 18th KW. From my dealer (the friendly one) I was offered an engine chip tuning from the Volvo accessory list (from Volvo??, with factory warranty???) for 750 EUR ilcl. Installation as option. Maybe someone knows if the original Volvo accessory is or what is installed there. Does anyone know the corresponding performance data (PS, Nm, Km/h) and by which method this is done (software, hardware, both)? Thank you for your contributions! Greeting Frank!

Huhu. My bike camp reports at Km 23142 with a heavy throttle. Is that normal after just under 30000 km? Don’t they normally keep a whole car life? Can I count on warranty?

hello, I was in a factory on Saturday with my v70 d5 mj. 06/04 and had oil changes done there. he put 6l in there, but the manual says 5,5l and the volvo works says 5,8l. what is right now and how harmful is it if there are 200ml too much in there? many thanks!!! groove024

Hello everybody, I’m looking for a follow-up car for my XC90 (BJ 7.06 now leasing run). It’s been very quiet for a long time now to become a successor model for the XC90. Even a facelift is not heard. The current edition special model is already everything. If you think about it, the car is actually already 8-9 years old, or even older in development. I am convinced that in the chassis area all current ML, X5 or the new Toureg are miles ahead. Therefore, I better not drive one of them to the rehearsal ;-)). My consideration is whether I should lease a car like this again for 4 years. The facelifts always come from July on. If something like this should happen, you could at least wait for this time to “take” at least the acute optics. Someone knows something new about this? (the dealers know nothing about facelift or successor model) Thanks in advance.

Hello all, I bought an XC90 at the beginning of the year. Unfortunately I have a motor damage that means that nothing is going on anymore the XC90 is a D5 with 185PS, MDJ2004. Now my question: I have a 2003 Volvo s60 2.4D with about 191Tkm. The S60 is mostly just around and I don’t want to sell it because it is my first Volvo. Can I install the engine from the S60 into the Xc90? These are the same engines?! Or? The s60 has 131Ps and my xc90 currently the 185Ps variant I think I could change that with a chip tuning! But also the 131PS wouldn’t bother me because I’m really only driving long distances and will pull nothing. I hope someone can help me?! Best regards, I’m sorry, I bought an XC90 at the beginning of the year.

Hello together, after my insurance has increased the contributions on 1.1.2013, I asked with other insurances, on which conditions they would insure my Dickelch (HP/VK). As a result I fell from all clouds. Not because other insurances are so cheap, but because my insurance (classic non-direct insurance) is so cheap. I had price differences by up to 100% (!). Maybe I carry owls to Athens, but I never thought that there are such enormous differences with such a standard everyday car as the XC90. Therefore, even if it is some work, let you come to two or three comparison offers. If you then notice that these are more expensive, great, then everything is best, if not, then maybe you can save money there. If you send me a PN, you can also know the name of my insurance. But: Since I am not an insurance broker and I don’t want to know my case as a concrete recommendation, I recommend to take a look independently.

Haha. So seriously: I’ve already got a lot of quirks behind me and therefore I wonder if I’m keeping the V70 now or not. Is there a list of how many km about what is broken? I know so far only V70 D5 02/2002 key 70 Tkm (1.5 years old) injection nozzle 60 Tkm track bar around 85-95 Tkm (3 years old) steering complete 90 Tkm door lock 70 Tkm tank seal 75 Tkm When are the normal parts like brakes/discs and clutch on it? How long does the gearbox hold? How long does the D5 engine hold? Maybe someone can also say something at the cost. My V70 already got about 6000 Euros of “care” in 2 years and 40000 km. Luckily, “only” good 2000 Euro for me. Ingo

Hello, I have a question again to the experts I plan to buy an XC90. Probably I will go to the Volvo dealer and hope to get enough percentages there. Furthermore I want to take my current car (Saab Aero 9-3 Cabrio) in payment there. According to DAT this is still worth 18,000 How can it be needed to reach the DAT value? Specifically: – I have smaller paint racks on both fenders. Should I have this done before by the paint doctor, or not? – My aluminum on the front right has made a few curbs. Should I have the rim repaired? – Then there are still 2 smaller dents (only visible if you see very accurately) available. Should I also have this repaired? How happy is the happy thing about such things? Thank you in advance, Leif

Hello, The winter is approaching and I urgently need winter bikes. Various providers on the internet have great offers, which are cheaper compared to that of my friendly , up to 500€ (with the same tire of course ). Has someone gained experience with the Internet dispatch of complete bikes.? Is even more to consider except the size entry in the vehicle license.? Can I use the same screws when using other aluminum wheels ? Many questions and hopefully also answers. Greeting Weddi

Hello. I’m getting really serious with the Dickelch now; I’ve already had some nice plates booked. Since you don’t seem to have to be sooo gaaanz honest with your profile, my question (only true answers requested): Who really leads an “XC 90” or something closely related in the (number) sign? Or since you think that this should have more people who have to deal with the brand professionally? So, hand on your heart and ‘out with the truth. Greetings Steamboat (can somehow be hard to decide)
