  • XC90 ll What equipment do you use?

    Hello dear XC-drivers, it is clear that we will probably decide for an XC90. Although the engine range still doesn’t convince me:-(, but the space on the second row and in the trunk seem to have brought the victory over an X5 with 3 children (1.12,7). Which equipment should the Xc90 have in your opinion? (Price is secondary) Dear greetings Bastian

  • Acquisition V90

    Hello dear community, I’m going to play with the idea of getting a V90 station wagon soon (in about 2 years). Anyway, it’s supposed to be a 250ps and automatic gasoline engine. R design if possible. I like sporty design. But I’ve never had a Volvo before. Did I want to explore what to look out for in this vehicle. What are there for children’s diseases? Definitely, the vehicle is even lower. What do you recommend as a chassis? Do you still see 19? On the vehicle look harmoniously or rather mikrig? What are there for alternatives? With me only original rims on it! I think the engines for the performances are a little undersized, 250ps out of 2l cylinder capacity?! Are the engines stable? How does it look like with the rest of the technology? Chassis? Driving feeling? Processing? Since you are satisfied? Currently I drive an Audi A4 Avant B8 BJ2011 2.0TFSI 180Ps and am super satisfied with it.

  • Outdoor design Urban Luxury

    Hello, basically I tend to the inscription. Nevertheless, I don’t like (for every car) basically too much chrome, especially in the wrong place. That Volvo does not offer disc blinds in car color or black, it is a (bleak) but can be accepted. But the chrome trim in the lower part of the side door does not have to be – I thought to myself. Alternative 1: Additional option Urban Luxury with sills (I once had ride boards and don’t come into the garage anymore). With EUR 4.600,- but m.E. extremely expensive…… and damned hacke, now the sills are in chrome. Alternative 2, not configurable – therefore the special question of kickdown, whether this would be conceivable and moderately economically feasible: use the lower door panel from the moment. I still like it best. Is the chrome trim in this panel even changeable or/and can be painted afterwards or is it completely different disguises between Momentum and Inscription ? I can’t exactly recognize this in the confis What does you mean and especially Kickdown ?

  • XC90 test drive

    Today I took over the XC90 II D5 for a test drive. Outside: Front looks like a copy of the Q7. The rear flattened and reminds of the X7. Does Volvo still have its own designer? Interior: The trunk looks like the one of the XC90 I anch Facelift – no more, no less. The seats – yes, you can adjust a thousand times – as usual. You sit on them and not in them. Dashboard cover looks Volvo untypically cheap. The 2-litre diesel doesn’t rip me off the stool. It sounds annoying and loud. The chassis polishes. The entire driving impression leaves no upper-class feeling. The old XC 90 was clearly quieter and more sovereign. Parking system doesn’t work at all. Usw. short and good – I’m disappointed and happy to have decided for the XC60 with the last 5-cylinder.

  • Build charging cable 3 phases 400V yourself, maximum power consumption T8?

    In my configuration I could not see at the time where the time difference lies when charging. For me, the common house socket 16A and thus 3,7kw. So came to my blue-eyedness, with the specified 2.5 hours charging time. But now there is only a 10A cable (schuko) with… So there is a box in the cable ICCB (in cable control box), which communicates with the car, regulates charging current and measures error current. Super. If I load now on a public column, this column takes over the communication with the car. So an ICCB is not required. Also great. 1. What would happen without the ICCB to a Schukodose? Nothing at all? 2. What do I have to do for ICCB if I have a 3PH CEE can installed? 3. Is the box always necessary? Whether in the wallbox, column or in the cable? Without a box, no charging process?

  • Floor mats / cargo compartment tray or mat

    Hello MT’ler, after I was only a co-reader so far and was able to bridge the time until the delivery of my elk by anticipation I have now for 3 weeks finally my Inscription stand at the door *yay*. So now I can finally talk with me and have a question: Do you / can you recommend the floor mats or the cargo compartment? Now that it is slowly winter and the elk is so nice new I thought that would be a very good option. Inscription in black, 7 seats, brown interior and actually almost everything in packages except 360 degrees and air suspension. Does not want to get out anymore 😉 P.s. Thanks to all for the many contributions and discussions, they have really shortened the waiting time for me

  • Best solution for music streaming

    Hello community! Since the S90 is my first car without a CD player and I slowly but surely feel like music, which does not come exclusively from FM radio, would interest me which is the ideal solution for music streaming? Spotify, Amazon Music, Google Play Music,…? What does this look like? Open the app on your mobile phone and send music via Bluetooth to the Sensus? For me as an end-forties a bit difficult to get in and change myself. Thank you for your tips. LG, Nordisk.

  • Audio system: High Performance plus SubW or even Premium Sound B&W?

    Hello everyone, I already ordered, but can still change the configuration. Maybe someone had the opportunity to compare the two audio systems somewhere? I really fluctuate between HP and PS, because PS requires a considerable extra charge. How is the quality of Volvo audio systems like the standard HP? Wouldn’t that, together with the extra subwoofer, allow a fairly clean and sufficiently strong sound even when driving faster? I know, probably now still a lot of coffee set reading…but to start the discussion about this can’t hurt and I guess that one or the other will come to “hearable experiences” faster than myself. I am happy about your experiences, views, forecasts, speculations etc. Thank you very much.

  • Start pre-climatization via app

    Hallows together, I think it is well known that you can start the climate with our vehicles by app. In winter with heaters, in summer to air, even with vehicles without heating. Since the app update and the compulsion there to the new design, it no longer works with vehicles without heating. I wrote to Volvo about this, what that should be. I added the answer as a picture. I find it an unding to deactivate a function that you have purchased. I liked to use the last year, when it was warm. Can they simply delete functions without compensation? I think if I want to have this examined or ask if they can easily. Greeting Daniel

  • Questions Configuration V90 charge

    Good evening, I’m currently driving a V90 T6 description of 21 and I’m basically very satisfied, so the next one is supposed to be almost the same (V90 T8 ultimate). However, I have a few questions: – in the configurator I can choose perforated leather and electrically adjustable seats, but I don’t find any ventilated seats. I can’t do that anymore? I found that very pleasant. Are the seats otherwise identical to the BJ 22 (I have / don’t want to have Sprtsitze)? – I now have a petrol-powered heater (winter package). It’s great. In the manual I find the heater as an option, then I should sit in the front right wheel box. I can’t find anything in the configurator. Is there still a heater? Is the possible series electric? If electric, how are your experiences? I don’t use a garage and want to start comfortably even in the winter. My current has the sense of being better, but the infotainment is in my opinion already a weak spot compared to others (BMW / MB), as an example of voice control, the display and the user interface, because I want to be more convenient in advance?
