  • some volvo news – e.g. condemnation wg discrimination & drunk test drivers

    in this three-hour-old article, it is reported that volvo was convicted of gender discrimination. a woman looked for work in three factories, but was rejected because of her kørpergrøsse of 160cm. a Swedish court saw in it a gender discrimination, because women are generally smaller than mænnner. volvo on the other hand, this condition is justified by the fact that in smaller people the accident frequency lies in their factories substantially høher. strange thing… the woman gets drunk driving – but not in public traffic, if I understood that correctly! volvo also wants to investigate the effect of alcohol on the driver. to do this they try to get from the Swedish state a special permit that test driver was expected to get drunk, but that was also over 40%.

  • New D5 Registerturbo only 420NM ?????

    If you look at BMW, Mercedes and Opel Registerturbos then the new D5 could have converted 480 (BMW 2l, Opel2l ) to 550 NM (Mercedes 2.2l). Is the gearbox the limiting factor?

  • Permanent air filters

    Have seen an advertisement on TV today, in which an air filter was shown, which allegedly no longer needs to be changed. Has someone tested such a part times or experiences with it? What do you think about it?

  • Hurrah I’m still alive !!!

    People there are situations in which the heart slips into their pants. I drive home this morning after Christmas shopping for the Kiddys on the country road. Set up according to the rules to overtake a truck ́s and enter cheerfully gas. Just next to the truck I see a sprinter on a side road with set turn signals languishing . I think he probably won ́t .. Dooch he pulls without looking on the country road . I don ́t know how close it was but it was just fine . I could have been a 40 toner then the sprinter would be history now . Do you often have such situations in which you doubt the common sense ?

  • Freezer protection Windscreen washing system -> today XC-Raubtierfütterung 😉

    Hi together, who of you knows the movie scene from “The Gods must be crazy”, when the two main actors kneeled down at a table and he blindly cleaned up the falling things again and put a funnel (or something similar) in the wrong place every time (and therefore he fell down again every time). The two discussed, he put the part on it again, the part fell down and so it went down for a while – until suddenly it didn’t fall down and both of them ended their disicussion astonished 😉 Just as astonishingly as the predator feeding of my XCs with freezing protection went on today (or should I say he gave himself a proper sip?). I turned the bottle around us put it on the wiper water container, the stuff just glitched out of the bottle and I thought that one could take a picture of it (but rejected the thought because it would take too long to turn on the DigiCam). But …

  • European Cars

    When I read this, my stomach turns.. Buy Eu imports because the dealer gives only 13% on the spot but elsewhere I get 17%… Then be proud owner of the new elk and bring the dealer the car for the resulting garanie work:: (where the dealer hardly deserves a tired mark) Then here in the forum complain that the Hander nich has the latest technical know-how.. yes friends and if the engine at 63,000 km also expect something on culantness of Volvo Germany.. Where do you live… If you have flattened the last Volvo dealer in your environment then you can bring your elk to France or Holland to repair where you bought it.. A frustrated employee
