  • rear seat entertainment center for low coal

    Hello, from Volvo there is the original Rear Seat Entertainment Center. I think it costs around 2,500 EUR. In order to keep the little quinge spirits quiet on the back seats, this is ideal. only bit expensive. At Aldi there is from next week a system, consisting of portable DVD player and 2 pieces 7″ TFT monitors with connection for headphones incl. IR remote control, car adapter and 3 years warranty (an Aldi product has longer warranty than a premium Volvo! ) just such an idea for the stressed Volvo driving fathers here the link: http://www.aldi-sued.de/newsletters/1947/index.html Ciao, EricAldi Newsletterabonent and inspired by murcs

  • PlusMinus on the topic of gear damage

    According to this article, Volvo seems to be one of the black sheep of the industry in this regard. Quotation: And just like BMW, Opel and Volvo also refuse transmission repairs. This probably also means here: replacement gearbox instead of repair. And that can also mean: Even a small damage in the gearbox can cost customers several thousand euros if they follow the advice to have their gearbox replaced. A repair is usually several hundred, to thousand euros cheaper – if it is possible. Ever someone has been in the situation? Greetings Zetterick

  • 1 new tires, axle measurement and set -> Do you need the steering wheel to stand diagonally?

    Ahoi times a question about the chassis (V50). I recently got four new winter tyres on new steel rims. Unfortunately, after approx. 2000km the tyres had to be changed at the front right incl. rim. This was done, the axle was remeasured. So far – so good. Since then the steering wheel is slightly crooked (turned to the right) when driving straight. The elk drives and brakes straight ahead. I have of course addressed the friendly one to it. He thinks that the cause can and probably will have to do with the different running performance of the front tires. Nevertheless, he will look at the whole thing. I guess what will come out of it, and I’m not satisfied with it. Therefore, is this necessarily the question, as he said, that the steering wheel is somewhat oblique in the case of different running performance of the front wheels? Can this be related to the system with which the axle will be measured? If this should only be a lazy excuse, then give me powerful arguments. I’m not really solid in the subject, my area of electronics.

  • That’s never happened to me!

    So much pig, I just have to tell you… I’m just rushing through the city and approaching the moose feeding crib with the blue rhombus. I see the price, the liter of diesel for 104,9. Since the tank was “only” quarter full, I’m short-circuited on the tank, and when I get to the cash register, the young lady gives such a funny noise. I ask: What is it? She: The fuel has just become more expensive, and I still wanted to fill up. I: Oh. Pay and get out, and what’s on the board? 108,9!!!! Is not the jackpot now, but that I fill up so short-circuited is rather rare… Did I just want to get rid of it. How do you manage this with the fuelling? Do you spontaneously refuel, or do you always drive until the yellow lamp concerns, just like I do (it’s going to be a bigger tour, then I also fill up when the tank is not yet on reserve)?

  • Book of journeys

    Now I have to rely on your tips and tips. Our tax advisor is always in our ears to keep a travel book for tax reasons. So far we have used the 1% regulation for convenience. According to the tax advisor, however, the value should change to 1.5% or higher by 2007 at the latest. In addition, as a self-employed person, one is almost obliged to keep a travel book, because of the proof of the necessity of a business car. So how do you deal with this problem electonic travel book or manually managed travel book and on what you have to pay attention or which errors should not be done in any case. For your help already many thanks.

  • Locking system -> Door stays closed !

    Hello Volvo community, yesterday I locked my V70 via the remote control but the driver’s door was still open. I just closed it. Door button stayed down, pulled at the door handle again, sure is safe, door is closed. Well, I said to myself, and I didn’t think anything else. So, now it comes to me: this morning I wanted to unlock via the remote control again: didn’t go! Second key is fetched because I thought the key battery is empty: also not !! Then of course the a The key can be turned to the left until it encounters resistance, but the button doesn’t want to go up! Before I turn a thread on the key, I’d rather ask here: What’s going on here, someone knows the problem and how can I get my car back up without immediately trying to break my trust! Thank you in advance for your help !! V70-Black ed – Bj 5/00 – 2,4l – 170hp

  • 1 week E-Class, instead of Volvo

    Hello, forcibly (officially) I was forced to drive an E-Class (280 CDI) automatic for 1 week. Here’s my short conclusion: Positive – Two-part display – 1. Command screen (too deep) and 2. in the tacho disc in the middle – small turning circle – PDC display on the dashboard or in the roof sky, above the rear window – Super Xenon burner – electric rear flap unlocking – automatically blinding exterior mirrors Negative – small seats in particular the front backrests, lagged n very hard with tiny headrests. – Foot-fixing brake – hooky automatic lever – The engine is round down it is growling, tangled and loud !! 190 hp don’t seem to be omnipresent – little space on the back bench. To travel three is a bump – front less space than in the S80 – 1000 knobs in the car are no highlight. – Consumption with fast drive (160-180 km/h) 11 liters !!! – Command system in the target area very inaccurate I would like to add that of the driven e car had 6,000 km on the clock and year 2006 was. Whether this is positive with the Navi (Command) can be evaluated differently, because that of the Volvo is in direct view height. Greetings v70-brb (who is looking forward to sitting in his Volvo again)

  • 2,4t and 2,5t in v70 II???

    a happy hello in the round, yesterday needed a little brain-free break and was only looking for used v70 II for fun at autoscout, found of course ten offers, so search limited up to only gasoline from 200ps were displayed. the t5’er and R oversee I just once, left 2,4t and 2,5t models. these differ in more than the cup hub? are the turbochargers different?? pull through, nm-curve? consumption? the mt-search did not show me anything, google throws also nothing off, the last 4 pages motor forum also not. I am interested in experience values or a short explanation.
