  • Interior noise levels VOLVO XC60

    Hello, since the end of November 21 owns a Volvo XC60 B4 AWD Inscription. Feels the generally comfortable vehicle however as quite loud, above all unrolling and chassis noises can be heard clearly. At low speeds also the diesel is very present. Once with a sound measurement app the noises recorded during the ride, the Db values are very high in my opinion. So I had values up to 79dbA at country road speed (80-100km/h) and on average 71dbA. Also in urban traffic I reach values up to 70dbA. Acoustic glazing is not installed, independently of that these values seem to me to be too high. Does anyone of you have similar experiences or considers these values too high? How reliable the app values are, remains open, however, they coincide with the feeling that the vehicle is much too loud for its premium claim. Thanks for your feedback!

  • Volvo V60 Bright or Black

    Hello together I’m just about to configure my 2nd V60. My current is a D4 AWD, black, Inscription. In the future it will be a T6 Recharge – maybe also as XC. I’m still unreliable with the color scheme. Find black the currently best color for the V60, but constantly fluctuate between the versions Bright (with chrome) and Black (without). I wonder how the whole of the new model year without exhaust works. Has anyone already got delivered or seen this in the showroom? I know… taste thing, but I’m interested in your opinions.

  • Google/Volvo account data access

    Hello, I’m about to get my Volvo with AAOS and wonder if you should create a new Google account only for the car, or if there are reasons to use your existing account. 1. Which apps could benefit from the existing Google account? I guess on Maps or YouTube you will have access to the stored data/favorites. Which apps still exist where the benefits might be? Is there a Gmail? 2. Is there a difference between Volvo account and Google account or do you log in to Volvo with the Google account? 3. Are different Google accounts associated with the keys? Does anyone who takes my key automatically have access to e.g. Youtube history or emails?

  • Automatic speed limitation

    Hello and good day, I’m thinking about adding an XC60. When studying the user manual, I can’t find any indication if the automatic speed limit can be switched off. How does it look with a bicycle carrier I can only drive 80? Can I drive without speed control? MfG Helmut

  • Transmission flushing / Haldex / Diff

    Moin, after some research I decided to have a gear flushing according to the Tim-Eckart method after approx. 90,000km. I found a workshop nearby that also offers this and received an offer. What bothers me a bit about it, they only use ATF from Fuchs (to be exact ATF Titan 6400 Fuchs). In the other threads always Ravenol is recommended – with the brand I can also do something, Fuchs I have never heard before. Haldex and Diff I wanted to let change right away, because they use the original oil from Volvo for the Haldex and FEBI/Billstein for the Diffs. So my question, can someone say what to Fuchs? This should not be a fundamental discussion, whether a flushing is now useful or not. Thank you!

  • Start/Stop – Behavior

    Hello, a question that came to my mind only after my test drive yesterday : I noticed that the start/stop automatic starts the switched off engine only when the foot presses down the accelerator pedal. Is that always so or is there a connection to the autohold function of the parking brake? For explanation: with my current vehicle with mechanical parking brake, the start stop automatic is controlled via the brake pedal. So when I leave the brake also the engine starts again. I like the brake pedal variant actually better, because it is a little faster. However, you have to leave the foot on the brake, what with the variant with the control by the gas pedal does not apply. But this actually only makes sense with Autohold. Therefore the question. can someone help me further? Many greetings Quwe

  • XC60 Recharge T6 System performance??

    Hello, the performance data for the Recharge T6 2023 don’t fit together from my point of view. Commonly, the hybrid adds the electrical and combustion power. Perhaps someone can clarify that. For the T8 the combustion and electrical power are indicated in the price list. 228 (310) & 107 (145) System power = 455 hp to configurator. Clear addition. T6 (186 (253) & 107 (145) System power = 350 hp to configurator. When added, 398 hp. Is the system power reduced to 350 hp by the control of the Recharge T6?
