  • V70 11/2004 by a free dealer? Ask for help!

    Hello municipality! I’m about to get a V70, just have a few questions about my case. Specifically, I am interested in a V70, 11/2004, Momentum, 163 hp (then led as D5, today it would be the 2.4D, since always the strongest of the model series is led as D5), first possession with 33,000 km. However, stands not with a , but with a “free” dealer. 1.) The car was registered 11/2004 and had 06/2005 with 19,000 km its first (and only) service at the . /2005 to 11/2006 would have been driven only 14,000 km. It does not light up service interval lights. What can that mean? I try feverishly to reach the previous owner in order to bring more light into this darkness, unfortunately so far without success. Lt. statement of the dealer for 2 months at the place and did not buy it from the previous owner! 2.) The original Volvo Alu ́s are missing: only steel with decorative caps. 3.) The equipment is good: Xenon, electr. foldable mirror, partial leather, cutting net, AHK, CD,… 4.) The dealer assured me: accident-free (I couldn’t discover anything), limitation light on the right back is repaired, before handing over a check as well as oil and oil filter change. 5.) Think about having a “heating update” in Udine as well. Does this work with an 11/2004? Can you please say what might not fit here or what I should take care of? Michael

  • I find the price policy of the dealer for a suspension adjustment outrageous

    hello people wanted to give me some air and ask for your opinion. had an appointment today for the axe measurement at my. so on time as always. car left and wanted to wait for it probably shouldn’t take long.1.5 hours later the master came to me and told me that there was a problem with the measuring station. the car can’t be measured at this defective station. but you could have the car measured where differently. ok there was nothing else about By the way, the master didn’t want to let me drive with my car. date was in 2 hours. so I had to get home from the shuttle service and then pick up later. when I collected the car, the car was finished. and I was done when I got the bill.101,15 €ronen for a simple achsvermessung+adjustment work. the price is really premium!!! where otherwise an achsvermessung costs about 50-60 €. I was ready to pay something more than usual(for d ie premium class). my should not starve but this price policy I find outrageous and I am really thinking about whether the extra price the volvo requires further visits at justifies or if I am not looking for a free workshop the reasonable prices required. then comes to the fact that I am not 100% satisfied with the work done. will watch that for 1-2 days you may have to answer again. the steering wheel is still not exactly centered what I personally very much it stands about where it was before the survey and that was one of the reasons why I wanted to have the track set. so now I have made some air for myself! what do you think about this action? greeting seppel ps: the 101.15 € was the volvo price. I know from the past that the mature dealer where my elk has been measured takes about the mentioned 50-60€. that I find even boldest of volvo!

  • HEICO performance increase S 60 R

    Hello together! I’m on my way to skipping my R with a “HEICO well-being pack” (gas system, intake system, power kit, various little things on the interior and exterior) – I know: about quality and useful value of most of these components there are already a lot of threads, BUT… to the by far the most cost-intensive component I could not find anything so far, so here’s the question: Has any of you installed the HEICO power increase to 337hp in your R? a subjective difference at all? (I mean 0-100 5.1sec vs. 5.7sec before is not sooo much on the paper…). And 37hp more at 300 available also make the cabbage not fat, right? Very likely everything unreasonable in me will make me buy the kit anyway, but almost 2000 Öre for a possibly hardly detectable difference would be already a word. greeting rescueharry

  • Problem with cooling water

    So the problem is this. My father’s S60 2,4d (130hp) already showed for the second time in the on-board computer “put off the low-engine water” (that’s how it was in it). The first time was a year ago 2008 and the second one was jetz, so a few weeks ago. I was at Volvo dealer and he filled up the cooling water and checked the hoses. Has it checked with the pressure and found nothing. Everything is dry, both in the garage and in the engine room. the year must be felt?

  • Misconstruction Ventilation Windshield

    After I just got angry again about the bad windshield wipers, which, despite thorough cleaning of the windshield, already pull stripes with brand new wiper blades, the first frost reminded me of another moose weakness. The ventilation nozzles on the windshield bring virtually no air to the windshield in the area of the windshield wiper. Even after 45 minutes drive were still up to 5cm above the wiper ice residue. Is there actually no frost in Sweden? h stupid is the perfect insulation of the bonnet, which makes it impossible for frozen wiper nozzles to thaw at some point. Even if Volvo is one of the best in passive safety, I think they should not completely neglect the active safety. Marcel

  • Purchase advice S60

    Hello together, I plan this year to buy me a new car. Among other things, the S60 is in the narrowest choice. I have thought of one from BJ 2002 – 2003 with max. 80Tkm. This is about within the scope of my budget. Questions: 1) Which motorization would you recommend 2.4i (170 hp) 2.0 T o. D5 Important to me is reliability, driving fun and economy. (Km p.a. ca. 12 – 15 T) 2) How is the automatic of Volvo to be assessed ? How much gears does it have and there is a ma nuelle Schaltgasse (Tiptronic) ? 3) What is the longevity of the S60 and what are the typical flaws and problems that should be taken into account when buying.

  • 19 to 20″ rims for XC90

    Good day, I’m thinking about a new set of rims for the XC90 in the summer. If someone has an idea what to put on in the size 19 to 20″ rims so that the Volvo gets a sporty touch. A few pictures would be great. With thanks and good ride Andreas

  • 120,000 km and again the angular gearbox…

    Hello, have now with my (still) XC90 now 120,000 km down. At the service now (after my please check for my please) it was established that now for the 2nd time the angular gearbox and thus the all-wheel has said goodbye. I have had the feeling for a long time, that something is not right here. Now the certainty. Have had squeaking and spinning tires at each curve (not only during the curves also while driving slowly). Can also everyone the the problem with squeaking Re ifen has only advised to have the AWD tested. With me it destroyed 2 tires. Greetings Michael happy to be rid of the carrot soon.
