Hello here the current ADAC winter tire test: Which winter tires would you need new ones and had the Michelin Alpin 2 so far And would now tend to the Vredestein because you are 200€ cheaper than the other test winners. The tire size is with me 205/55 R16 but the tires will not be worse or?? Thank you already for your tips Michael N. Source ADAC Thank you already ma for your tips Michael N.

Hello, on Monday it was unfortunately the time: around 17.00 my wife called me and told me that someone thought that they could drive through them. Of course this is not possible and so a nice tail damage arose on our 5s and at the approaching tdi (grumble…..) a very nice front damage. Luckily nothing serious happened to her, apart from HWS syndrome. Now she is allowed to wear a cuff. Hopefully nothing remains…. I was then steamed by the customer and we got still in the evening a replacement vehicle: BMW X3, 3.0i. Hello you think: 258 contra 193 hp! the thing has to flick like a rocket!!!! To make it short: under 3000 rpm the petroler is for someone like me (I had to drive the car home, my wife took the VOLVO) who is only used to turbo diesels, dead. Absolutely dead. Acceleration I don’t really want to call that. From 3-4500 something comes into the car, it gets faster from 5000 rpm. Certainly the car is in all The most important tests are faster than the Touring 5, but objectively it is exactly the other way around. Even my wife complains about the car, what a lame part it is…. And it consumes at least 11 liters. So slowly I can understand the frustration of Bildchef…… What does that tell me now wideer? man is and remains a subjective being. I prefer not to say anything about the other qualities of the X3. On the side of the chassis, however, it is an imposition, such a hoop truck on the human being. ulasen. But sporty, yes that’s him (as SUV???) Jürgen

I was just with my elk at the headlight test. I got into the conversation with mine. Among other things, we talked about the installation of gas systems in Volvos. Mine also offers this. There should now be conversion kits also for the D5 diesel. Only it would fail on the particle filter, as these are not yet available. Every diesel gets according to the also installed one filter. They would only wait for the approval of the manufacturer of this system and then The prices should be above the price of the petrol… Did you find out similar? Greetings Heiko

The R-Class from Mercedes-Benz is now officially available on the net. According to the expression of the sheet metal designers and Swabian market gap finders, the concept is an experiment with an uncertain outcome. My first impression: enormously expensive (+50% compared to Volvo with similar equipment). Even if the technical progress is included in the inflation, the price hardly fits into this time. If the buyers are not beta testers, the special equipment is technically appealing but not breath-taking. end. I miss a BLIS or distance radar in this price region. The rear airbags are chargeable. Also the separation net. That’s what I call stupid surcharge policy. The outer design corresponds to the mainstream. A bore with sufficient steam under the hood. Not noticeable is good understatement. But immediately mutate to the gray macro mouse? *head shake* For me, the design corresponds to a delicate Swabian beer seidel romance. I think this requirement has to be topped by more character and consistent safety design. I think the Volvo price policy for safety-relevant systems is (still) clever. The Swabians have long overstretched the bow here. Maximum safety should be part of the standard equipment during this time…. The cucumberhttp://www.mercedes-benz.de/…/overview.html

on the return trip, the whole rest was destroyed with a single encounter. normal traffic, a bit of this (light on), speed 140-150. on the left track it went well, I was the last. then from behind with plenty of speed over a dark Audi A6. cheerfully announcing with light hooves: “here only I can drive, all wech!” when he had to leave I could not read, he was too close. about 2 (two) meters. now I could not brake to let him pass, on the right it ran so with 90 – 100, I could not faster either, in front of me were also some. I had to live with the fact that this brainless nonthinker put me and my family in danger. I almost burst the Cragen, when he almost drove with the left wheels close behind me over the green stripe and wanted to have rammed me away. at some point was then also on the right again free. And I pulled over to the right. I didn’t consciously look over to that brainless one. let him drive, hoping that he’d meet a federal servant the next time. what do you bring when you show such a brainless one? I could vomit when I see how lightly these people put others at risk. you always hear it in the media, causing the intruder accidents, where others come to harm.

S40 1.9D oil measuring rod canceled Good evening! I had a purchase test of the Volvo S40 (year 2002) Phase:II 1.9 Diesel made. (private purchase) The vehicle itself and also the engine is (according to Öamtc) in ordung, however, the oil measuring rod is broken. Is that a problem, and could the rod clog oil bridles, or not? Sorry, I am not a mechanic, and don’t know me well about the Volvo/Renalt engines… What could happen in the worst case? otor works without problems, and according to ÖAMTC is in good condition… If this is not a problem, I will probably buy the vehicle at the weekend and buy a new oil measuring rod from a Volvo dealer. Thank you for your help Friendly greetings Franz

in the world is an interesting article to find, so with commuters on routine distances the brain is inactive, which means so much that when driving is not thought about; at least not about driving a car. is this a reliable research result? do you recognize everyday situations in this statement? and what do you think of the follow-up proposal of separate highways as pkw and lkw? lieb gruss oli

of a relaxation of the fuel prices is reported today in the world. do you now feel the prices as “cheap” or is it still expensive – only on lower level!? dear gruss oli

Hello, I was on the IAA during a long lunch break today and I don’t want to withhold some photos from you. Since I get into trouble with the mods I limit myself (almost exclusively) to the Swedish brand. Right at the entrance I met the first Volvo…
