Hello dear Volvo community, for some time now my air conditioning has been so funny. Always so 5sec and then it’s over. Recently my elk was replaced by the dispersion valve. Since then, it seems to me, that’s grope. The car stands overnight in a garage and during the day outside the office. The smell is always strongest when my elk has stood longer – whether outside or inside. Otherwise, the smell does not appear. I have already read some threads on this topic, but did not really help me. Therefore my new thread. Does anyone have an idea what it might be about?

I was just replaced by the windshield due to rockfall. I now find the opening for the rain sensor somehow strangely shaped. Can you take a look at it? Does everything fit there or is there a black cover foil somehow torn? In other cars this opening usually has a regular geometric shape. thanx Robert

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?

Hi Together, on 31.12 when I was out of the house, I had to fix the following: My S60 had ventilation at full speed (not in the engine compartment, but the internal ventilation. However, car had been standing for 5 hours. I did have a stationary heater in it, but a retrofitted webasto that can’t directly affect the internal ventilation (I have to turn up the ventilation before I put it off the evening before, so that the STH works). I then turned off ignition on and off, and immediately ventilation was off. Normal isn’t that… ideas? Torsten, who last had the message “battery almost empty” in the display – and now thinks to know why

With my V70II D5 (163hp) the BC calculates the average consumption totally wrong. Was just at the tank and after 890km 62l filled. That is 7.5l/100km. But the BC shows an average consumption of 6.6l/100km. I can’t imagine that this deviation from after all about 1l should be normal. How are your experiences. Ohso, with the last time refueling I noticed this already. There was also such a high deviation. Since I have not had the vehicle that long, since Feb. 06, I have not noticed this yet.

Aloha! I’m thinking of buying an S60 built in 2001 / Gasoline / 140 hp with just under 70tkm. To take all eventualities into account, I’d like to contact you with this post with the request to share your opinions and experiences with this car. I’m just very excited about the look and I want to know if the interior also holds what the exterior promises. I’m grateful for every comment. Ciao Beau 26

Hello Volvisti, report me back to the forum with a little prob. It’s about the DSTC of my V70 D5 MY 2004. Here are the facts: – EU import, France version – DSTC according to the purchase contract etc. etc. inside – also the button is labeled accordingly – symbol in the dashboard also DSTC (STC has a different symbol according to the instructions) – and also the BC speaks of DSTC, if you turn it on/off (“DSTC tire control one” – function “brake assistant” seems to be present (also DSTC component, not STC) So actually everything Palletti, DSTC in it. But recently my first ride on a closed snow cover brought me to the ponder. Because I wanted to test exactly the stabilization function in fast driven curves. Result: the elch breaks out, nix regulation, DSTC does not regulate for a moment. Hmm… for an STC it would be normal, but for a DSTC probably hardly…. Does anyone have an idea of you? Should I thank Elch for the presence of the Volvo and the DS check?

Hi together, it is forbidden in Germany to run its engine warm before the start already (noise pollution, exhaust gases). Regardless of that, it does not bring anything (cooling water we don’t warm up, heating does not work so fast, operating temperature is reached later). But – is a heater therefore OK? And – how do I explain this to my ignorant neighbor, who shows me about it (warning fee: 10€) and anyway has no idea of such modern things as standing heating (and internet forums) 😉 Tschau Torsten – der XC-Fan

Hello municipality, I know, I know that there are already numerous contributions on the topic Xenon, but they all somehow get caught up in detailed questions. Since I can change something for a few days when ordering, here’s my urgent question: Xenon, yes or no? Is the extra charge worth it? I could do without the electric chair and would probably take only momentum instead of summum (plus sound system and rims) That would be a considerable saving. Please help me with objective (as far as possible) statements best thanks to Riraroon
