Moin together, this week in the mirror there is an article about the situation of the supplier industry because of innovations in automobile development, which the world doesn’t need, so to speak. The comments there speak out of my soul. This is about 7-speed automats of DC, active steering of BMW and mega-genial-teure rear axles from Wolfsburg, where the added value in terms of benefits should tend towards zero. Now I ask myself (…after the first hemes about the Swabia, Bavaria and Nied Sips, Whips, Rops, Four-C, Idis, but also all-world innovations such as Xenon, AWD and all the electronic snaps for seats, steering wheels, rear parking, Hifi etc. – does all or some of this in everyday practice really bring what they promise? …and what they cost? Have my doubts. And you? lg ebilassio P.S. I sincerely hope that not too many of us will experience everyday life. with Rops, Sips and Whips…

Moin together! I’m late. Was a long night yesterday with the Irish. After the fourth or fifth Guinness a moose-generated acquaintance had started a debate on Volvo and prices. In his opinion, V50 and XC90 would be surprisingly close together, which applies to prices and equipment. He referred to V50 T5 AWD and XC 90 2.5T. He claimed, according to equipment adjusted, there would be at most 5 kilos between the two. V70 somewhere in between. And in the leasing the There’s no difference in the headache. What’s the difference between a new-fashioned little elk… A loud outcry from the corner of the V50 dealer! That can’t be. His 2.0D is much cheaper than the XC90 D5. In the purchase and maintenance anyway. Pah, another said. The little extra weight, the 30cm longer length is cheaper if you can buy two additional seats for it. Says the next, 90% of his driving time he spent in the car alone anyway. Woz u so etc. etc. grumbles another, V70 is the only true moose, all other fashionable frills of money-grilled corporate bosses or Belgian focus-cut. What should I say. The evening pulled out, the opinions were constantly divided. Still some dark glass changed the owner. But before we could all fall off the chair, I promised to present the topic of the exhilarated MT-Gilde. What I do with this… Can I carry back any opinions again? three really so close together that the little one is not worth it? Have thanks ebilassio

Hello at volvo the quality should be especially high, I wonder how volvio can afford to do things that are not so great?? general: volvo s60 cuts in the car motor sport test not so bad at all, but some things, are really not good. these are not things that you could not have changed before, or with a lot of effort! also missing in the V70 2 a tool bag! cost at volvo in large purchase maybe 5-10 euros nevertheless there is no screw puller, but only a key for the wheel nuts… what a wonder! BMW has more than a decade ago, until now always a small toolbox! Gerde volvo, which are so robiust etc., don’t even have a screwdriver on board??? today were used at the volvo tachoringe! look great, were used properly! but then my papa notices at home that the speedometer no longer works!!! well a distance of about 30 km, al so anyway in total 60 km again!!! volvo builds the rings in spite of 95 Euros not even for free, but calculates still neatly!!! you can at least on a few plugs, which just hope together!!! at BMW my not original tachorings were installed! for 20 Euros!!! because they were not very exact fit, you even had to grind off something from the kombi ect.!!! when everything was finished, was checked, if all the displays go and also if the lights outside all go!!! and that, although I bought the BMW privately!!! well, I can only shake the head partly! the lucky ones after! my dad or I don’t have to do an extra ride, because next weeks sowiso the stabilizers have to be exchanged! with a 3 year old car with 70 TKM…. and as if it was great, volvo takes over 50%!!!??? well super??? again half a morning back and forth!? spritkosten? loan car should surely pay!!! as a reward then you can no ch 50% of the stabilizers pull off! AND that, although at 35 TKM already the track rods were replaced!!! me and my father were officially very happy, now after over 3 years, you suddenly have to pay yourself and that not too scarce!

Dear Elche, yesterday I bought a used V70 2.5D with manual transmission. After the contrast to my string kit 2.4T with Geartronic shocked me (clearly, I could imagine, but I only knew Diesel from my Smart CDI, and with that you can hardly sense any differences to the petrol engine (apart from the higher torque), I had to find out here in the forum that the 2.5D is an Audi engine. — Shock heavy! I have the Volvo Actually bought, because I didn’t want to go to the workshop so often! And it doesn’t surprise me anymore that I feel like I’m in a cargo ship in the moose. Does anyone have helpful experiences or opinions about the old diesel engine in the V70?

The new R’s of the SUV XC90 show already strongly in the direction of the leisure car. And that also other safe cars build show the crash tests of the last years. Volvo has seen from me a little less. e.g. when the ESP was in the basic equipment with others long ago this is still an option at Volvo partly today! And here nu n a video of the presentation of the new S40. Hans Olaf introduces the S40, with driving fun in the foreground (I know from somewhere? smile)http://www.rtl.de/…/player.php?… what do you think? Gruss Hobbes

What do you think: should we open a new subforum for the S40/V50 or should the contributions to the S40/V50 be renamed to the forum S40/V40, then would be renamed to S40/V40classic/S40/V50 new?? This change runs 19 days until 23.12. Then I have the answer as a Christmas gift. Jürgen

hoi zämä newspaper report from the “st.galler tagblatt” With the first snow the danger of drunken moose rises in Scandinavia. A walker has been attacked by a “king of the forest”. According to experts, the moose showed all symptoms of drunkenness through alcohol-containing apples. The early snowfall let the fall fruit ferment quickly. newspaper report mfg

Hello, I’ve been very satisfied with the D5 driver for about 2 months and 6000 km. I only have two questions…. 1.Do the funny “ticks” actually have to do with the heater in the area of the rear right door? 2. What is the “belgic heater” mentioned here so often? A note to the now so often searched suitable aluminiums for winter tires…I have also been looking for longer at RIAL the rim Viper gs in 7,5×16 incl. ABE for V70 very cheap My Amaltheas are of course more beautiful for summer, but otherwise the RIAL rim is great. The rim cost at my dealers incl. assembly and force 100€

The Swedish company BSR offers the so-called PPC tuning. The tuning probably takes place via the OBD interface under the steering wheel.http://www.bsrab.se/se/start_prod.html The highlight of the whole is, you get a kind of decoder and can play the tuning yourself and install the original software again whenever necessary – the whole can be used as often as possible. The tuning is distributed via MR Sweden or directly at BSR. If one of you already has experience with the software of BSR (proven performance, performance characteristics compared to or Heico) and especially with the PPC tuning? For me, the story sounds really good or are there differences in tuning, whether I change the chip directly or just play a new software? The manufacturer updates run after the same way, the question is only good the software of BSR Gruß Guido

Hello together, someone has experience with the Navi 1205 and connection of an external MP3 player? So far I have been happy with my iPod via an adapter cassette or chinch connection, but would like to upgrade the 1205 and have learned that this does not have a chinch. Can you use the connection of the Volvo changer? Does anyone have a plug assignment to make sense? If someone has already been successful with adapters or tiffing, help me on the jumps. Greet Martin
