Hi guys, I’m back. Does anyone have experience with the 90’s with trailer on the Ar…. How is he going to drive? I have to drive a car with 2230kg. Does he get the D5. Does he have strength in the slope, or did I put my money in the sand? Has a Dodge Ram, the car with the 2230kg with 140 things up the mountain before. Grins!!!! Greetings from Switzerland

T5-KUSI is right! The new introduction belongs in the front! So again!!! Tach too, I am – the new one! Ride a V70 D5, BE, (EZ04, 112tkm) since the end of Aug/2007 and I am -mostly- on the road in the Rhein-Neckar-Raum. I have been reading here for a while and I find it quite comfortable here with you. You feel immediately so integrated. Where did you get this, that you are invited in your first post right now to organize the gourmet meeting in the R-N-K (Greetings to Thomas). But really don’t assume, that’s the thing for the premium members -If something goes wrong…… Speaking of Premium! So far, the moose service has been “premium” compared to the VAG group! But if I look at the handbrake explosion fred like this, then I get jammed – with my mileage and the year of construction! I will definitely write to my friend and make him aware of the thread. Let’s see if I can wait until the 120000 service. It’s never that long. I don’t have any irregularities until now. No grinding, sticking, crackling, squeaking. But as I said, it’s not that bad for me. I’ll report in the handbrake thread if I have news – from or from the brake!! Photos of the moose are available when it’s locked and brushed! At the moment it looks a bit sad because the coat is not so shiny and it’s quite wet. Greeting fausibbzich

Hello guys, as it says in the title, I have to attach a 2kg powder extinguisher somewhere in the XC90, safe and yet relatively easily accessible. No, please no discussions, for which I need this, I don’t want to screw up my car with it, no fear. So please only serious advice, like own experiences etc. My idea would be, in the back area of the trunk, where left and right these “bookings” are located. The nozzles would remain almost completely free, but I have no idea. no idea if and if so how to attach the holder there. Or does someone have a completely different idea? Greetings Itaker

After which some of you reported about fire in the engine compartment, laminated glass in the Volvo and the burn death, I have been looking for a remedy in the last two days. The Originla Volvo fire extinguisher fits nicely under the passenger seat. It is not cheap, with installation and installation kit the best piece costs 160 Euro. A disc hammer with belt knife for 9.95 Euro is significantly cheaper, which fits nicely under it. So no panic, even if I hope the two things never for m I have to use so you can be useful to get someone else out of his car. Robert

Hello, my wife and I are looking for a used car, because our 97 A4 1.8T has already over 200000km down and we are absolutely not convinced by Audi, due to countless repairs. After a several weeks search we have come to the narrow selection of 2 very different vehicles. A Forester 2.0 Turbo built in 2002, 177hp with 50000km for 1500€ and a V70 D5 Premium built in 2002 163hp with 70000km for 1900€ We drive about 17000km a year, four-wheel would be The Volvo is a lot better equipped and we like it a little better than the Subaru. For the Subaru it speaks that it is less prone to repair. From the insurance classification both are almost the same, the V70 of course costs more tax for it consumes less. we would like to buy both cars, but for that the money is not enough and would also be meaningless. PS: Alternatively, we have already driven a Forester 2.0 converted to LPG and a Saab 9-5 3.0 TDi, of course, the 2.0 Forester did not offer the driving pass of the turbo, while the 3.0 diesel engines are supposed to be very vulnerable at Saab (we only drove after the test drive).

Hello together, today I was with the moose in the Waschstrasse – a station in the south of Düseldorf, which belongs to a large chain. So far I was always satisfied – good to very good washing result and free sucking. So today again – everything as normal until it went to the drying. There was a funny noise from behind that my wife and I could not directly interpret. After the actual Waschstrasse was then quickly clear: the tank flap was gone! So we claimed u And the good piece was found again – even surprisingly without scratches – but on the hinge something has broken. As not to be expected otherwise the operator resists to take over the damage (“if the flap is not locked …”!!!!). Since the friendly one had already closed today, I can only go there on Monday. Therefore the questions to you: – is this a “weak spot” on the V70 or has it happened to one of you before? – Can the hinge be replaced who the whole flap (including painting) has to be renewed? – what will be the fun that I can argue about with the operator? – Does anyone have any experience or tips on how system operators have behaved in other cases or how can you best get the guys to take care of the costs? Thank you Bernd :-))

after we already have the big one in the family (an explicit wish of my wife) and my little bmw is soon due, I actually wanted to stay at bmw for me. a lot to think about, what the right mod for me while unfortunately did not really bring me further. beautiful cars make the young yes, but somehow too much of the rod… on a visit to (forcibly, the big one you have stabbed the mature) I am over a s60r of another customer n stumbled. I wanted to get away from volvo, but the s60 looked outrageously good. such a natural leather, brilliant. then I looked, and the s60r has really something to offer with his awd and 300ps ! did not look bad, something to see at (of) volvo. therefore I think again completely new. a good used (under 50tkm and under 30t€ ) could already please me. I know only too little about this car. can you help me? am for all experiences, tips and infos r and around the s60r grateful. greetings from the domstadt

I don’t think so slowly anymore… my Mondayselch is already sick again for the 4th time now a wheel bearing is over the rear right and makes itself noticeable with very “pleasant” surren. Next Thursday he is again in the workshop before we drive in the evening over 1’000km into the Easter holidays. After that the 180’000km service is due where still the defective keyboard lamps are directed at the radio, the defective handbrake etc……. I believe the Grosselch feels that his successor on 16 . April will be configured he is already greeting from the BEO Stephan

Hello, I’m new here and looking for a new vehicle. The Volvo V70 is the first choice for me in space, because I need a big station wagon. And what you hear is that they are quite durable. What do you think of this natural gas vehicle in particular? What are the experiences compared to diesels in terms of cost? The litre costs are lower in terms of natural gas, but the consumption is also higher. Another advantage of the natural gas vehicle would be that there is also a green one. Environmental badge has. Unfortunately, this vehicle has no cruise control :-)( Thank you in advance for your tabster tips

hello – I would like to see a s60 2,4t bj 2002 with supposed 114tkm – but how am I sure that the km is also correct? there is the possibility at volvo to have the memory read out – does that bring what? or is the there km level just as easy to manipulate as the tachostand? with worried greetings björn
