  • Trailer coupling Volvo XC60U –> Order code 1028

    Hello colleagues, I have a question about the “semielectric trailer coupling”, how to order it directly with the new purchase of an XC60 under order code 1028: Will this AHK be installed in the factory OR will the AHK – despite the order for the factory – be retrofitted before delivery at the dealer? If retrofitting is applicable: Does the dealer have to drill somewhere into the sheet metal or cut it into the plastic thruster?

  • Folding in the glove compartment

    Hello together Every time I have come to terms with a “weakness”, a new problem emerges. The latest topic: rattles in the glove compartment. When crossing thresholds or some uneven road covering, it claps in the glove compartment. I then looked at it more closely. The rattle comes from the top of the compartment, as if something was lying loose on the plastic cover or getting there. Is this problem known? Before I show up again at the dealer, wanted to I would like to ask you briefly here. At least there is a simple/known solution. Greetings from Switzerland MBS

  • again – Snow chains for the XC60 II

    Since the ski holiday is at the door, I urgently have to solve the topic of snow chains for the D4 as FWD. I drive the 18″ double spokes (235/60 R18). Snow chains are suitable for snow chains. After I have searched all threads here with the keyword snow chains, I am as smart as before. Who has made the experience in practice with which model he can recommend? Some manufacturers (many are not available anyway) offer in the configurator or. lt. data sheet chains for the above-mentioned tyres, so e.g. the KÖNIG Easy Fit, here already called. Then I read here again, that the construction freedom on the tyre back is not enough for this. Also called the RUDcomfort CENTRAX. So, facts on the table. Time is pressing me! Thank you.

  • 360° Surround View versus Rearview Camera?

    Hello Moose friends, I have been thinking about which of the two systems is more practical for some time. Not in the bright day and sunshine, but in the night or in poor visibility. Which is better when parking/returning? How are your experiences? P.S. I will also ask this question in the XC40 forum, maybe there are more answers/impressions coming together.

  • Volvo Factory Warranty Plus

    Moin, Since January, the Volvo Factory Warranty Plus 1-3 years have disappeared in the configurator. In December 22 the still selected – 1890 EUR for 3 years additional factory warranty. Also in the price list only the Volvo Pro connection warranty (Plus) appears. Is the connection guarantee a good “replacement” for the extended factory warranty? Why does Volvo no longer dare to award the factory warranty for a total of 5 years?

  • Polestar Optimization for new models XC60 2022/2023 B4/B5/B6?

    Hello together I am waiting impatiently for the optimizations for the new XC60 Mild-Hybrid engines (B5/B6). I very much hope that these are available soon, when ordering this was unfortunately not the case yet. I have now seen that Polestar on the US side apparently offers corresponding optimizations, otherwise I find no clues or experience with the new engines and Polestar. Probably the ones for Europe and Switzerland still have to be approved. Has someone experience whether and how long can that take? Otherwise a super car and I am very happy with the new XC60 and also with AAOS, even if it still has to fight with a few childhood diseases.

  • Leasing Return of paint damage

    Good day, I returned a leasing vehicle last month. Since the return date has unfortunately been postponed by 2 weeks not quite clean. Now the leasing company wants almost 3000 euros since the car has to be repainted because of the “damages” on the pictures. This was determined by a TÜV. Of course, he did his job and did not try to remove these “damages”. In my opinion, this damage is only about resin from the tree. What do you think?

  • Winter bikes for XC60 B5 AWD Black Edition

    Hi, I currently have the 21″ Black Edition rims with summer tires on it. I still need winter bikes and consider the possibilities. Unfortunately I don’t have coc documents, since it is a leasing and does not know which wheel/tire combinations are specified there. On classified ads the selection is very limited in my vicinity. I have found only these here and ask myself now if this really fits. Other ET and size than before. Can the problem with brake or fenders give? 8Jx19H2 ET45 KBA 53379 In the ABE there is the following, no idea what exactly is meant by it. The XC60 is available with smaller rims and ET, the Black Edition is not. EF0) Not allowed on vehicle versions that are standard on the front – and/or on the rear axle only with wheels whose wheel diameter is larger than the wheel diameter of the retrofit wheel and/or its rim rim width are larger than the rim rim width of the retrofit wheel.

  • XC60 and 2 phones via Bluetooth

    Hello Volvo fans, intend to order a Volvo again after a break (had already 3). Then I drove one to the test yesterday. Class car! What surprised me, however, is that I can only have one phone active via Bluetooth. That would be really bitter with a vehicle of this class. That can cost other manufacturers already in cars less than half. Maybe again to use: Drive a lot (about 35,000/year) and that with companies and private phone. If I are called, no matter on which device, I expect that the hands-free device will indicate the call and I can accept it. Was I just too stupid to activate that or is it actually not in the XC60? Greeting to the round Note: have found nothing about the search function

  • GLc or Volvo ?

    Which is to be preferred; GLC automatic or XC60 Volvo as diesel?
