  • Permissible winter tyres XC90 T8 Twin Engine

    Hello dear forists, I’m going to get an XC90 T8 with summer tire 21 inch 10 spokes turbine design in the next few weeks. Can anyone tell me what winter tire size is probably allowed here? It’s about the smallest possible size. Is this 19 inch or 20 inch? Background is that the fleet itself orders winter tires, usually the Cheapest ones. To be able to talk here, I would try to pick a cheap rim in advance. With my last car there were ugly 15 inch (with 17 inch summer tires), that I would like to avoid in this vehicle segment in any case. But probably there are no really ugly rims at 19 inch anymore… Thanks for your help. Niels

  • Active High Beam, how to recognize it?

    Hello, I’ve been interested in an S90 for a long time. And I really want to have the Active High Beam headlights with me. But what do I know if it’s onboard or not? I know that it’s in the front of the headlights, but a lot of photos are shot on mobile from a distance and therefore you can’t recognize anything. My budget is at a maximum of 30t Euro, do I get a good Volvo? What features should the car definitely have? And is the distance tempomat or Pilot Assist II already from the factory? With my budget, the equipment Momentum is a question, is this the lowest line? So, a naked Volvo without frills and assistant systems? What equipment does the Volvo S90 from 2016-2018 have as standard? Would anyone have a list?

  • V90 CC Roll-off noise 19 inch winter tyres

    Hello, I have on my V90 CC the Michelin Pilot Alpin 19 inch winter tires. The car is brand new. However, from about speed 60-90 up to high speeds a clear (!) rolling noise is to be heard. It is much louder than in my previous XC60 with 18 inch tires or the Passat Alltrack before. In short: is it really because of the tires, which actually have similar noise values according to test like many others? Are it the big wheel boxes? Is the difference from 18 to 19 inch so great? Do you (V90 CC) have similar experiences? It sounds like armored tires and resonances with a surren that gets brighter at higher speeds. Thank you! Many greetings, berg4m

  • Oil consumption on the first 10 Tkm

    Good morning, I had the first 11.000 km now run smoothly, ok exception a trailer at the map update. History. So I am very pleased with my V90 CC choice. Yesterday after a longer tour, I thought for the first time, look for the oil! Purely interested The electronic measurement yielded half of the beams, i.e. about 0.5 l on 10 Tkm. Can I live with it. On the other hand, it’s already damn long ago, that I had to refill oil. How high is the oil consumption with you? Is the oil consumption ok or too high? I’m curious about your experiences. Oh still a small anecdote, keep me strictly to the Volvo specifications and am looking for the Castrol Edge 0-20 almost desperate! No one has this stuff there either! No tanks have visited three, no hardware store and the Volvo dealer had already closed. Information, where the stuff should be found came directly from the Castrol homepage.

  • V90 or XC90 ?

    Hello, have both looked at me, and don’t know which one it should be !? I both like, and it should become an inscription D5. Against the XC90 speak for me pers. that nevertheless considerably higher own weight (about 500kg more than the V90 – with the same engine/automatic I also think of the longevity), and the rear flap which nevertheless rises very high (garage cover). Through the flatter rear window, the higher goes, than with a just falling tail. Inside I find both in approximately the same, the XC has more charging volume, but that is for me pers. secondary. Inscription pleases me, however, the only disadvantage (jammering at a high level) that this one has the chrome strip on the side in half height. and the chrome package what can be ordered has the leist on the threshold, respectively Vo + hi better created (where I find this nicer). Seats I would take the standard, the sports seat has not been pleasant for me. In addition, I heard of problems about it, resp. 😉 I did not want to say thank you in one time.

  • Purchase advice XC90 BJ 2016/2017

    Hello dear Volvo community, After my beautiful Touareg was broken in 2019, I bought an A6 with a transitional way.. Now that the whole drama is approaching the end, I am now looking for something new. I had a lot in mind, from the Audi Q8 via VW Touareg, T5, Chrysler Grand Voyager, Jeep Grand Cherokee and others. Since a Volvo dealer at work is much to me the beautiful silhouette of the XC90 in mind. Today I was then in the car house and have fallen in love with this car, which it now becomes one. It should become the diesel with 235hp, or if available the polestar. From the equipment, Inscription or R floats in front of me. Uncertainly I am driving at the chassis, air suspension now for 5 years and I like it, however, I already had to let the Audi change the rear axle and know the prices, but rear axle with leaf spring I did not know until today. Is there otherwise any for or again the against or for the XC90? What are the vulnerabilities?

  • Volvo On Call … used XC90

    Hello to the forum: Sorry topic, I know (using some posts after using the SuFu), but there are still questions open to me: Pre-Remarks about it: – I have created a VOLVO ID. – I have reset the vehicle to “factory settings” (there used car and thus owner change). – I bought a VoC subscription from the friendly person and got a PIN to it. – I have installed the VoC app on my smartphone (iPhone). 1. Does VoC only work with a data card in the vehicle modem? i.e. it does NOT work with a WiFi connection via smartphone? 2. If I select in the CenterDisplay in settings/communication the item “Volvo On Call” comes out, then a message similar to “Volvo On Call UNIT activate” and I should enter a PIN. The PIN that I have received from the friend after buying a VoC subscription does not work, i.e. it comes to the message “false code”. Question: Must be entered here or how to connect the connection is possible?

  • Cold feet?

    Hello together, …I drove on the WE for the first time longer with the moose (and finally tested PA on long rides – it worked great!). What I noticed – each after 2-3 hours had really cold feet?!? I don’t know now, whether I have the control of the climate still under control, or that is a known elk problem. But even if I put the ventilation only “up” on the front window in the climate, I had the feeling that constantly cold air blows to my feet? Does someone know the problem or am I just too stupid to control the air conditioning/ventilation properly?! DAnke and GRuß, Camper_73

  • Title and interpreter via Bluetooth

    Hello, with my MJ2017 V90 (Kinetic) since the beginning to the condition that from the Android Galaxy S7 no title/interpret information is displayed on the central display. When he was finally to the service and total update (Update 2.0), I could see with the same mobile phone surprisingly in the S90 car rental MJ2018 (Momentum) everything aif the central display. (as in the old V70 III or in the 2017 Audi A4, on the mobile phone or the settings it probably isn’t…). Same behavior with Deezer and Samsung Music. The friendly thought it might be on the equipment line Kinetic, but my impression is that the multimedia elements between Kinetic and Momentum are the same… Does anyone have a Kinetic that can display that? Or a software update with which this was solved? Thank you, HarroHallo, with my MJ2017 V90 (Kinetic) since the beginning to the condition that from the Android Galaxy S7 no title/interpret information is displayed on the central display. When he finally got to the service and Total Update (Update) was not able to see the old device in the MJ 2017, but the same device.

  • Underbody protection / Sealing Experiences?

    Hello Together, I have been the proud owner of an XC90 R-Design D5 for 5 days (if it is still to be presented separately, share experiences and photos ) because I would like to keep the vehicle long-term (until now very satisfied), I also think about protecting the vehicle…had it also had so with my 3-BMW, and 24 years driven first think about a foiling to protect the paint, but don’t have to be!? but I think specifically about an underbody protection, or seal. to how far is the Volvo factory protected, is there need? And to what extent? On the Internet are different providers who offer protection for 149 EUR (spraying once with the spray can probably through) and others offer protection for 1000 EUR a professional where each crack, groove is lubricated, waxed and protected. how is your opinion???
