We are approaching the ominous KW 16 rapidly: Does anyone have any news about the new D5 or the OceanRace models? The price list is now, 2 weeks before the supposed orderability of the D5, yes still as of January. And also the link to the new Belgian price list, which was already on the net, no longer works (or I’m too stupid)… strange?!

Now also my 4th moose has the handbrake in the bucket! At the back left the handbrake has broken up! I bought the car (V70 D5, EZ 04/2007) 7 months ago from the Volvo dealer and asked him whether the handbrake is ok. What he of course is yes. Well: I also have a car guarantee. But they certainly don’t get up for that, what? I just called the dealer, they are talking about it now and they’re coming up! I’m curious! What does that cost again! I forgot! Should you do both sides?? Thank you!

I’ve already done a thread this time, because now the question has become concrete again, here again: I bought a set of 19 inch wheels for our XC90, used, from the intermediary (ebay) who can say nothing (or wants to) about the origin in hindsight. These rims have a designation 30635721 or 30635722, 8Jx19x49, Borbet-Germany, Volvo. After marking and also appearance quite clearly a silver “vulcanis” for the XC90. However, the rims have a centerhole diameter of 63,4 milimeters. The XC90 has 67,1mm. Ergo: They don’t fit on it. Midholes have not been reworked, that looks completely original. Was therefore only now with the dealer, after that with the TÜV. No one can make a rhyme on it. Finally, there is no other than to use the rims by single take-off at the XC70 or XC60 in the future, but I would have liked to know how this coming together. Does anyone have any idea? P.

I’m not sure that I’ve had the feeling that the rear of our V70 D5 185 PS MY2007 (no AWD; without level control) is going to be in danger of breaking out sideways even with smaller ground waves or adequate unevennesses. The Volvo-Heck eavesdrops and lurks briefly, or it jumps briefly to calm down again. As if it were almost the “back legs” to travel away from him, but he tries to “continue running” undisturbed. (Or so similar…) It strikes my wife and me equally, both as driver and passenger. Especially on highways in all speed areas, but also in normal city traffic. With roads in cities often caused by driving or tram tracks anyway a certain restlessness with him, but at that time I couldn’t notice anything. Also, the loading state of the V70 plays no part, it always occurs to me! Later I noticed this driving behavior already in the last winter (Michelin-Rifen on Stahlfelgen 16 inches), but at that at that time (Hebbüch und Vorführfahrt) and beg!

Hello Elchgemeinde! After several Mazda626 and a Chrysler(Purefall badhin) I landed at Volvo-da at an unbeatable price 200hp-in the S40 T4 and that went like the devil!Then I let myself be persuaded to a S60 D5, from the nice dealer, and that went similarly-at least in the passage.Weakening only in the final speed indication 210-Tacho 225. I am in the queue of the new D5 with 185 hp-gave 230 runs now Tacho 245/250?Has anyone already had experience with the new?Is the 6th Gang only designed as a saving course?-so what said my friendly-and how about the consumption?-according to the test report about 1l more than the old,or is located at the gas foot of the editors?,they have always needed more in the old D5 than I have!

For the coming year, my tax twister recommends buying a new car. I’m at a loss. Buying rationally or emotionally? XC70, XC90, V70. I’m sure – I’m driving on diesel. But how do I arrange my “love” to the VOLVO rounds? The basic values: – every year 60 thousand km – mostly long distance – comfortable – usually soloist in the combo I’m really satisfied with my relationship to the fully equipped V70 D5. Should I get unfaithful? I’m not. Dr. Sommer and Mrs. Jutta Resch-Treuwerth (Ossis know who this is ) as well as all PS psychologists are asked for advice for my VOLVO relationship.

Hello everybody has the luggage locker mat for the XC90? I think about buying one for my 7-seater. On the one hand, I want to cover the holes in the trunk floor with the 7-seater, so that small things can’t fall in there, and on the other hand, to protect the trunk floor. I often have snowboards in the trunk in winter, which tend to scratch all the plastic parts and freeze them with snow remnants on the textile surfaces. So far, so good. But now I’m unsure whether this turning mat is so practical. I don’t question the basic function (“mat that you can turn around”, but can you use the partition wall of the carrying bag holder with the mat in the trunk? What if you still have the mesh bag sideways in the luggage compartment? Do you have to “wind” the mat under it every time?” And if you need the third row spontaneously, you can roll up the part of the mat that is in the way somehow or something like that?

Today I was on the way from bathing to open castle, the autobahn was continuously free, and while I dreamed of having overtaken nn lkw, suddenly a 5er with m package shot from behind and fired with its aggressive xenon flashes into the inside room. when the e39 then arrived I thought to myself: “so not my friend”, let him through, and then fully on the tube. when I placed behind him I could read the 525i on his heck in large letters, and there was also one there no chromniere as at the 530i or 540i. well, anyway, outside temp at 28°c and glimmering sunshine… I tried to catch up with the young one again, but look, we were immediately quick, because he moved as to the right, so that I could use his wind shadow net. And at 240 my t6 suddenly made close, in the deep winter he overturned the tachoskala loosely and was fast at 80″ as I finally had to explain the 240 hp.

Hello together to meet the curiosity here and not to burden the Freds (this and this ) with my secret order via Gühr, I hereby officially inform you that after 11 months I will get a new pet. (delivery in Dec., registration in January). It will be an XC90 D5 summum with GT and without telephone. You can take the further equipment from my signature (yes, boah how boring, looks like before ! Well and ? ) Since I have been following this forum for quite a long time, I was able to choose my own equipment. Thanks to all forum participants . saluti Torsten can only withstand the condition of waiting halfway because already an elk is in the garage.

So, yesterday I picked up the jam and drove a good 600 km (Heimweg) of it about 50% highway, 20% city (cross through HH) rest highway I only had the direct comparison to the V70 D5 with Geartronik 163 hp. Engine: runs less vibration and around a lot quieter (maybe also due to the better insulation) sound: is a completely different than in the V70, sounds much duller and more displacement force-folding: even on the first, gently driven kilometers you do not have the impression to be undermotorized, has down proper force Geartronik: switches buttery soft and very confident; no trace of nervousness as it was described there and there at the V8. Have had the engine up to now only to about 3000 rpm, on the AB approximately 160 km/h – this tempo he looks almost himself – and that quite fast consumption: route as written up, on the AB between 130 and 160 km/h; city and country road to fast consumption display an average of 9.6 hours pleasantly the sound time has to be told.
