  • Inspection due

    Hello dear friends. Car found (xc90 2019 Diesel), Also with the desired equipment. Price is very good, but are the last 2 inspections due. Last was on 04/2022 from Volvo dealer. How big is in your opinion the risk to buy such a car? What can happen with such a car and what would you advise me to check and what to do? To this day, however, not. Last inspection was at 60000 km. It has driven today 75000 km, so in 2 years about 15000 km with 2 due inspections. What can get broken and what would you advise me to check. Thanks in advance

  • For once a mechanical problem – water intrusion

    I had parked the car overnight in such a way that the front was pointing upwards on a road with a slope. When I got in this morning, I saw that water drops were hanging on both C-pillars, the tailgate I had not yet opened at that time, so the water could not come from there. I could only take the attached photos about an hour later, a large part was already dried off. Nevertheless, it can still be clearly seen that it was not very little water. Above the dividing line of the C-pillar covering visible in the pictures everything was dry, so I believe that the water has come out of this seam. Can it be that the processes end from the sliding roof?

  • Water infiltration Luggage compartment

    Hello together, I have been walking a swimming pool for a few days. In my V90 Combi (EZ 12/2017) with panoramic roof water runs in, probably over the left D-pillar. During the inspection in December I pointed out this to my FH, but he did not notice anything. Have a new workshop appointment next week, because now I can wring out several towels after one night in the rain. Does anyone know the problem and is the cause perhaps known? Thanks and greetings vwexport

  • Great….first vacation trip with caravan – emergency run

    Today 740km with caravan towards the Mediterranean. In Lyon then suddenly the sign “reduced engine power” and the turtle. What do you do? Then the last 80km went on our internight place. Up to 80km/h it still went. When accelerating one hears on the front right from the engine room a clear hissing. Think, there will have torn a turbo hose. Volvo On Call. Much they can not do. I drive Monday early to Valence to the Volvo dealer. Then look how it goes on. Nerv. But apparently still a problem with the D5. These turbo hoses.

  • (Volvo) Sit-up – How fastened in the car?

    Hello, the upcoming car change is the reason for reorganizing the child’s seat situation. My big one is now ready for a seat increase, whereby I have the model of Volvo with backrest in mind: https://www.volvocars.com/en/v/buy/accessories/child-seats Some here have determined the model (or similar). Therefore my question: How is the part fixed in the car? Isofix doesn’t seem to have it. If the child is sitting on it and strapped on it, no problem. But what if the child is not on board? Then the part prunes through the area, if I don’t buckle it up, right? And every time the seat is strapped, it’s annoying in everyday life…

  • Gearbox Oil change

    Hello together! My XC 90 ii D5 has 77 tkm, it is advisable to make a gearbox oil change/spülung. My question to you would be: 1: does the gearbox have a filter that belongs to identically replaced, if yes how to make the exchange? 2: Which diagnostic device would you recommend to me, with which you can make all necessary diagnostics and programming at home? Thank you in advance and best regards! Josef

  • Navigate to free charging stations

    Hi, my XC90 T8 will be delivered in 14 days. Is my first experience with “E” – so I’m totally Newbie. How do you do that with navigation to free charging stations? I am primarily traveling in Hamburg, first registered with EnBW (Mobility plus App) and see if I will use anything else. In the area of my employer there are a few columns, which are also often occupied (there in the middle of the city), but one is usually already free, question is only: which? How do you do that most skillfully? I drive about 30-40min to work, so don’t know where a column is free when I’m on site. In addition, I also cost another question to the: if I pay about 60ct per KW/h and about 20 kw/h load (from 0-100% plus loading losses (how high are they so? 1kw/h?) then I’ll cost about 12€ – but that’s only about 50 km long. So I’ll be happy to pay for my own 100km.

  • Volvo XC90 II T8 PlugIn-Hybrid range

    Hello, We bought a Volvo XC 90 T8 Hybrid bj 2021 in the USA and drive it after moving now in Germany. The electric range is about half, which is displayed after full charging, often even below. We do not remember exactly what we were promised on purchase, because we would never have expected such a huge deviation. But it was in about 25-30 miles. When we drove there, we had so few charging stations in range and no own wallbox (we rented) that this extreme deviation had not yet occurred to us. But there were not yet 25 miles reached there. How are your experiences? Do you have any chances with a complaint? Would be grateful for your advice. Greetings!

  • V90 – Experiences with panoramic roof

    Moin together, at the moment I am looking for a large, comfortable combination as a family car (private purchase). Probably the last burner or hybrid before we switch to electric. Since I like the V90 (cross country or normal) very much, I regularly look at what is on the market with young used cars (annual car, demonstrator, leasing-returners etc.). The offer is not so bad. The only drawback: once the half-way well equipped, they always have the panoramic roof. From such roofs I have in the past rather distanced, because the often in the long run with crackling noises, leaks, noise on the highway or other problems annoying. How is this with the V90? Is the glass roof there by now largely matured? Are there still many problems with it? Is a V90 in spite of the panoramic roof for a lantern parker (my wife loads your e-car under the carport, therefore the combination should be more often outside) recommendable?
