I would like to inform you very briefly that I have not been a moderator in the Volvoforum for a few days now. My farewell is at my own request and is primarily due to a lack of time. I will continue to appear here as a user, but my conscience does not allow me to be listed here as a “moderator”, if my contribution to the administration is then disappearingly small. Thanks to Juergen, Tom and Micha for the very good cooperation, and to the whole fo for a style of writing and humor that has kept the administrative work since the foundation in the summer of 2001 gorgeous and MT-far noticed low. We read each other & dear greeting Oli

Again a fatal car accident occurred in the Gotthard tunnel. A Volvo PW crashed frontally into a truck with 80 km/h! The following are probably clear to everyone. How can / must the safety in such tunnels be improved? – 2nd tube – thus no oncoming traffic. – middle guide plank (no idea if technically feasible) – traffic flow alternately North/South Gruss Stephan (a little murky in such long tunnels) PS have the pictures of the accident volvos – should I stop or find this here The tasteless?

Good morning! Since in a few weeks the spare wheel of my V70 has to give way to a gas tank, I think now about the membership of the ADAC after, makes the tyre change difficult, if you have no spare tire. In the course of the change of my new elk my insurance man then suggested to me the DAS, especially since that is also cheaper and so. Well, should in fact cost rich 3 eur less (41.00 annually against 44.00 at the ADAC), so that the price can not be a criterion for me. Woh l but your experiences! What would you advise me to do? And why? I spontaneously tend to the ADAC, as I suspect the better coverage/reaction time in case of a breakdown. Is that right? Are there significant performance differences? Please look forward to your references!

Hello, I know that the topic was discussed some time ago, but I wanted to cut it again because I saw this Photoshop on the Internet. What do you think of this idea. it fits to the image of volvo, or should volvo focus more on other products. I have to say, even if this is just a PH, I don’t like the approach at least.http://hvtm.totalcar.hu/car/l/volvo/796753.jpg

in my anticipation, for the hopefully next week arriving race, I have requested a double card with the volvoversicherung(basler). by the way, I asked for the tariffs for the new one and let me make a new offer, now the shock:58% more expensive than the previous!!!!!!!!! the reasons, some clauses have changed, e.g. company vehicle insurance can no longer be restricted to certain persons, which in my case unfortunately to the more up d. now concrete, so far 620 € at tk150/vk500 both sf19(30%) new 979 € tk150/vk500 both sf19 now but 35%! on my question about the private tariff with restricted user circle, only 606 €. I thought the cooperation basler/volvo should be an advantage for us, because a certain driver circle( the deliberate volvisti ) with manageable risk can be insured more favourably. far missing. let me not miss my anticipation of them. jürgen

Hello Volvo-lovers and those who want to become it! Completely new and undisturbed, I imagine … of course not without ulterior motives. I am looking for an alternative to Heico and MR-Swedensport. Since I said providers do not agree about the offer, but I do not want to leave my S40 completely naked on the road, I ask for help! Especially “Böse Blick”, Blinker in the outdoor mirrors and “M3-mirror” interest me at the moment.

I have a 850 Volvo, 157t k, BJ 93 and for 1 year a problem that has not been able to fix a contract workshop, it is getting worse and worse. The engine does not take the gas properly when accelerating in the speed range 2-3000, the vehicle jerks. from 3.5 4000 revolutions it actually goes through again quite quickly. Top speed is only 160 kmh When I stand in the traffic jam or otherwise like stop + go the engine goes out and then does not bring any Leistu at all. This happened to me the other day in front of a parking garage, when I was finally inside, I almost didn’t get up the small slope to the next parking deck. Spark plugs, ignition cap, ignition coil, engine control, thermostat, bezin pump, Lamba probe, air mass meters have already been tested and exchanged. All cylinders were measured and found to be good. Oh, well, I have to mention that everything gets worse at high outdoor temperatures and full tank. I am really grateful for every tip Eva

Hello municipality, I’ve had my D5 for a good month and am “satisfied” at the most. I have heard and read so much good, maybe the expectations were too high. My A4 Avant, 1.9 TDI (without pump nozzle) had the same driving performance at about 1-1.5l lower consumption and admittedly lower weight. My C70 2.5T was much more elastic, I don’t need to talk about the driving performance and the extra consumption of 1.5l/100km could also be accepted; that all rdings with the same weight. I only drove 4000km, maybe something is still happening, but when I step on the gas in the 4th gear at 2000 rpm I expect a 5-cylinder with such enormous torque much more. What are your experiences, something else? Thank you and greeting Marvin

tomorrow morning I drive, but on one subject I am still interested in your opinions: the truck toll is to be calculated by satellit via empfængergeræte in the truck and then collected from the account of the freight forwarder. thus a total control on all roads of the country is possible. how would it be now, if the state decides to abolish the kfz tax and other fixed costs, for this to introduce a road-use-kilometre package®? In my opinion, if in this way a fairer way is possible to collect – apart from the total control of the car driver, which deters me, I vote for “yes”. (because especially in volvos yes anyway a permanent feedback is possible via vadis) kind greeting, oli

Hello together, during my last visit to the workshop I called for drones or resonances in the range 2600 – 2800 rpm. I noticed this especially when driving at 140 km/h, because then the engine touches this Drrehnumber range. I know another D5 driver (also XC70) who has this problem. My workshop also noticed the resonances (should be area exhaust gas), but could not circle the error so far because of lack of documentation. But wants to make an effort for information. experience my question: does someone know the problem and has it been solved in the affirmative and how ? For answers already before thank you
