How do you actually enter places in the navigator that consist of two parts or are separated by point, line or space, for example “St. Moritz” or “Kamp-Lintfort” or “Neu Ulm”. My RTI Navi shows a submenu “further characters”, but in it are activated only ü, ä etc., all others are not selectable. Rolo which is curious which solution there is

Hello, who pulls a caravan or horse hanger with his XC90 D5 ? What experiences and should you pay attention to? Which trailer coupling is recommended (which makes) with subsequent attachment ? ringino has read with pleasure in the current picture all-wheel that the XC90 D5 passed a detailed test in the suspension overdrive with good result.

170PSer Passat vs. Volvo V70 D5 ? Help SOS! Stand close to the choice of torture and am simply not conclusive what I should like to do next. Drive now for 6 years Passat V6 TDI and would simply have Bock on something else, but then again not. Now, on the one hand, the diesel segment at VW (only 4 cylinders) and the somewhat (in my opinion) worse quality of the interior, but against it stands the ingenious DSG and the space offered. At the V70 D5 I strongly like the chassis, the workmanship and above all the measure-setting seat feeling in the leather sports seats. But what scares me at Volvo is the somewhat outdated exterior look (especially the rear). The place in the rear can not keep up with that of the passat either. Of course it ́s up to you to ask what I should take away from every other priority. But maybe one can make a little easier for me. I am also aware of the fact that in the Volvo forum can have asked the question.

Hello, there is a change of vehicle with us and I have been busy the last 4 weeks with the vehicle choice and the “problems”. I have now found the following vehicles:http://home.mobile.de/AUTOhandel-JABER#des_169257364http://www.autoscout24.de/Details.aspx?id=220509076&asrc=st It should be a car as easy as possible, am I there on the right track, or rather without XC take the 2.4 petrol without turbo? Important is 2 ml in the year 1.5t caravan approx. 4000 km Otherwise only 2 * 20 km per working day. I have the feeling the more you read it becomes the more complicated … Thanks already for your assessments. Greeting Jonas, wife and 2 small children (3+1) PS. at the moment we drive an espace from 2006 as diesel, which doesn’t like short distances at all.

Hello together, I have experienced it several times now, that the message “soot filter full” appeared and then the engine went into the emergency run with higher load. After a “restart” the emergency run was clearly noticeable but the resistance in the exhaust line – reduced power at the same time significantly increased consumption. Despite about 1,000 km drive nothing changed, a regeneration did not take place. So far I have had no problems with the DPF, the vehicle is mainly moved on the highway with speedy driving. The talk is of a 2007 D5 with 185 hp. So far the DPFs were considered to be very durable, what I have heard. I now ask the question: 1. Can one trigger the regeneration manually, possibly electric? 2. I would expand the DPF and possibly replace it with a new one or burn it free? 3. Could an exhaust sensor be defective, which prevents the regeneration? Who can help me – Best greetings and a nice evening wishes carrier bag

Hello Volvo municipality, I still can’t believe it! We have added a new child seat (Maxi Cosi – Rodi XP). During the installation of the child seat I wanted to remove the headrest on the rear bench, so that the child seat is right on the back bench. Now the headrest can only be folded forward (to put the back seat over). Finally I called the Volvo workshop and dared to ask the “banal” question, how to remove the headrest. Spotan could not help me anymore either and called me back after about 2 hours with the result that I can’t grasp: the car has to be removed to the workshop, because the headrest has to be removed – time expenditure 2 STUNDEN (of course not for nothing) – but I don’t see it as an option, because I don’t use the child seat only on one side. Can maybe someone help me here, how I can dismantle the headrests ? It is a V70 construction year 2003 with which I’m otherwise very satisfied. Grus Bernie68

Hello together, so first of all praise to the forum, I have already received a lot of useful hints. In the end this has also led me to order an XC70 Mom./ D5 in blue 4 weeks ago. However, I find that the original Navi with its performance is much too expensive. Therefore I will retrofit. First I was with a TomTom GO 700. But now I see that you get already under €1000 a fully-fledged Navicomputer with 7-inch screen. Sounds good … only, how does it look with the installation? Does the XC have a DIN shaft? Do I then need apertures, adapters? How is this with the cable, can I/man do something like that yourself? What do you think about theft when there is always such a TFT in the car? Isn’t this a temptation (living in Frankfurt)? Your opinion would interest me. Greet NN P.S.: Be happy already like a small child on the elk!!!

Hello everyone, I have looked at the XC90 7-seater in the sales room today. Everything is very nice variable, lots of space and finely processed. However, I noticed that the loading area is quite high compared to ML or Touareg. I have a low-built Labrador and am not sure if I can teach him to jump up there by myself. (currently the animal is used to a normal family combi). And the 30 kg each time there is no alternative for me…. Do the dog owners among you experience this? Could that be a problem? Greeting Alani

Moin together, it is always said that our common rail D5 does not smoke. However, I have seen the smoke in the lights of the following several times during the strong acceleration (volleast) on the Atutobahn behind me. The turbo hoses should be OK. Have you noticed this before? Greetings Flodder

The V70 of my brother was badly damaged by an unknown perpetrator. The paint has been scratched all around; scratches go in between to the metal. Short visit to the Carroserie Master resulted roughly estimated an effort of approx. CHF 6000.- !!! Advertisement against Unknown has also been made. Can not understand what the motivation for this can be ?? The insurance will take over the damage thanks to full cash (for the time being). Photo 1 Photo 2 Photo 3 Photo 4 Photo 5 Photo 6 Photo 7
