Hello Elche, On Friday we tested the “new” A31 from Bottrop to Emden…. The highway is absolutely flat and was like so often completely free from other vehicles…- According to Navi we were calculated a journey time of 3:30.- We have brought the route in 1:10 behind us and could so calmly drive out our D5 times. We noticed a lot: -The roof seems to start clapping, but only without radio perceptible… -The cruiser actually stops at 205 KM/H and was therefore not used on this beautiful day -At 220 the limiter is still pure but it is also not much space in the speed band! -The diesel consumption increased on average 12.9 liters, I still find good at a 60 minutes 220 cut!!! -The Navi needed a long time to find itself on the “new” track again quite correctly. So the V70 has gone absolutely loosely over this track, and one was more rested than after a ride duch the city center. With the V70 one can easily leave a perfect cruise at any time.

So I wanted to know if this is normal, that the xenon headlights are so low that the distance seems to me very small! And strangely, the buttons of my steering wheel only go when I typed the pin of my phone!!!????!!!! If no sim is in, the steering wheel does not work (buttons)

Hello, today I once again touched the price list V70 Stand 15.04.2000. Very interesting!!! V70 2.4 140PS 27.800 euro V70 T5 35.900 euro V70 2.5D 30.400 euro today: V70 2.4 140PS 30.570 euro V70 T5 40.750e V70 D5 34,540 euro (2.4D: 33.090e) At first sight considerable differences, man have become expensive!!!! Now my internal calculator came out again. So compared the equipment. All cars of the old PL lack the DSTC: 690 Euro Then the current radio 450 (T5 650) have serial and to be exact, one still had to count the comfort package and the design package (bord computer, tempomat, leather steering wheel, etc.). With the newer would then come the aut. abbl. internal mirror, the fixing of the waste bags and the Jaquard vinyl padding. and what happens? – the 2.4 cost now: 32540E, after new PL: 31250 – 3250D 3250.

A new D5 engine for the models S60, V70, XC70, S80 and XC90 is announced in the 2005 car year of the last “Auto, Motor and Sport” (from 24.11.2004) for May ’05. In the text section of the same edition it is stated on p. 26: “From May a new top version with 185 hp will make the five-cylinder diesel more steam.” “Auto-Bild” (from 03.12.2004) exceeds itself almost with long-term news, but also writes at least (on p. 70): “The large diesel is to be increased in two stages. In 2005 the 185 hp variant starts, in 2007 the measuring bar is already at 225 hp.” So something seems to be wrong. Here http://www.motor-talk.de/showthread.php?… were the 185 hp for the XC90 already discussed, but what about the other models? In this thread also the information of several friendly people found itself, which would probably not be anything with May ’05, but rather August ’05?

Dear parents among the XC90 riders, you will certainly have noticed the priceless advantage of the headphone connections on the C-pillars during trips > 10 minutes. However, “Mother Volvo” did not tell us where we should hang the headphones after the end of the ride, especially since “in-ear-buttons” are not loved by all kids – my girls clearly prefer the normal “earpush” with handle. After these things have flown around somewhere in the car so far (“Ups, I’ve probably put on it; luck was only the headphones of …”), I have now found relatively small, crystal clear glue hooks with also transparent adhesive foil from Tesa in our household grab box. It works great!! Lt. Tesa are the adhesives to remove again. If necessary I can also put a photo on. By the way, I have mounted/glued something below the headphone exits. Greeting, Frank – relaxed back from the bridge day trip to the North Sea (also thanks to headrest DVD by Medion )

Hello, so slowly my V70 I is coming into the years and I start to deal with the idea of a new V70. Whether brand new (i.e. already used model-maintained) or is not yet clear. My current 2.5l machine with 144hp, which makes itself with automatic nevertheless a bit tough. Realistically, also think not of the T5 or so … 170 to 200hp seems to me to be a good compromise. Now it turns out from economic considerations whether biFuel could be a good alternative. Question 1: Can anyone say something about whether the new V70 with 140hp is similarly lame as the old one – or because technologically (with automatic please) newer, also agile / faster … less tough? Question 2: There are different types of gas … are there clear statements? LPT because or is this a science that perhaps is subject to regional circumstances or something else? Or are it “only” tax aspects? Thanks for your information.

A few days ago, plusminus from the WDR, a fierce ideology and nothing but this prescribed consumer protection broadcast, made a contribution about the alleged consumption of air conditioners. I just want to take out the information about the above-mentioned S60:http://www.daserste.de/…/beitrag_dyn~uid,boprq55w1im0g6z8~cm.asp pdf-file at the end of the article. I’m talking about that. The S60 is supposed to consume almost 14,5 l in the city. With climate again 2 l more. I drive this engine in a V70II and can’t understand these values. Is anyone driving this model here? Greeting Achim

After about 1200km with a brand new D5 it only reaches speedometer 210km/h. There should be more in there? Is this even better over time or is this a lack of a new vehicle? Who has experiences?

Hello, can someone tell me where best to install a third-party CD changer (Becker Silverstone) in the V70 II? My workshop tried it under the passenger seat, but it was supposedly not possible. Then they put it under the rear boot cover. For this the spare wheel had to be replaced for an emergency wheel and the cover mat was cut. However, the place is extremely unfavourable. It is a 6-fold changer, that is, you have to put all noses long on the box. What does it mean to clean out the trunk of the car? Can’t accept it like that. Besides, the workshop smashed the changer when it was installed and now has not received a replacement for 4 1/2 weeks! And Friday we are going to Brittany! Who can help???

Hello together, drive about 50,000 km a year, need a fine, safe and large station wagon a la V70. Think of a diesel, automatic, etc… Who has information about a.) Leasing – with what rates you have to expect if you don’t want to bid money, run time 3 years… b.) to the car itself…: V70, Diesel Best thanks friends Mugafi
