Hi, I’ve also had an XC70 D5 for a week now. I like the car, even if it seems a little weak on my chest at the moment with 165 hp. Maybe that’s after driving in … I have a question about the cruise control: if I want to turn on the thing as described in the manual (press the cruise button on the steering wheel) though ‘Cruise’ appears in the display, but otherwise nothing (no speed I could set via +/- on the steering wheel). Am I too stupid or correct what about the SW not ?? Greetings and good ride, snkeeper

Investments 2002 Volvo Forum Hello, I’m not curious, but since I always want to know everything, I wanted to ask you what you invested so much in your cars in 2002. Has someone still kept track of how much that might have been. It’s about the part and maintenance effort. Not about buying a new or used car! What it was, you can write about it in contributions. So, a new radio system, brake pads, exhaust ……. All it good for the year 2003 Jo

hi now the driver window can be closed by overcoming a pressure point without pressing the button further. this can be done with me, v70 mj03, unfortunately only on the driver side. now the question – is that normal? why doesn’t it spark with the other windows, if there is an effective lock protection on the windows – already tried *s*

Bonjour à tous, Still enthusiastic about my S60 (only occasionally a pity that I did not choose Hellbeige interiör !), I discussed the topic of audio with a German buddy. He works at Ford AG in Cologne in a department that is responsible for developing the audio claims for Ford cars. Some facts : – A speaker in our S60 costs 8 times as much as the one in the Mondeo. – Hu-603 (my choice) is a further development of a team of 50 (!) Ingeniors in Sweden based on an ALPINE Luksus system. – At Ford are zb 5 Ing. in the department ! -Because Volvo is very well versed in car audio, Ford AG has made the decision to install Volvo Audio in the latest Jaguar models in a short time. Sometimes Carmina Burana tries to enjoy with max. volume in your S60. Pure experience ! There is the subwoofer almost as good as at home (Home Cinema freak I am also) A bientôt,

My new S80, 170 hp petrol is economical on highway and federal road. In the city, however, onboard computer shows between 13.5 and 14 l. Does this correspond to the general experience values (feelings a lot to me)?

Hello! I have an electric sunroof in my Volvo. This could be a safety risk in case of an overlay, right? Since the vehicle roof with a sunroof is not as stable as in a Volvo without a sunroof, right? Fresh air at the expense of safety? EDIT: Photos: Photo1 Photo2 Friendly greetings Franz

The Volvo driving safety training on the race track of Anneau du Rhin was a great experience and very interesting! When else can you enjoy the ideal line of a curve, the dodging IN a curve with approx. 100km/h, the correct steering and stabilizing in a slalom at top speed and and and to get explained?! The cars provided were first cream, after all was the smallest engine of the T5 of the S40/V50, but all of course with AWD! However, cars were V70R of the latest generation. In retrospect, however, I wonder why not a single S60R was at the start of the day? At the beginning of the day we were already prepared in theory for driving practice, with Beamer and the associated explanations. Afterwards, two went in one moose, in each group of 5 to the different positions/exercise tracks, which were put out on the circuit. One thing I can guarantee you; boring it certainly did not happen to anyone. os my stomach after the slaom (I am in the passenger seat!!) a bit to strike and I let my colleague turn his “turns” alone until I was again on the turn to put behind the steering wheel In each of my driving trainings I drove a pillonen slalom… But never with 80km/h and all this WITHOUT DSTC! At 85km/h however it was also with me then and I had to catch the moose so that he didn’t graze in the grass 😉 The food over the midday did not leave any wishes rig: Salad buffet with at least 10 varieties of salad as well as pies and some cold cuts. Main course were schnitzel in Rahmsauce with vegetable side dish and potato stick. But one of mine stayed with the salad, because my stomach had not yet calmed down Note: It is apparently a rough difference whether you are behind the steering wheel or on the passenger seat, when such exercises take place.. In the afternoon the exercises continued until about 4 p.m.. ke, after the introduction round with the pacecar. Unfortunately, the first one after 2 laps in my group did not quite understand the words of the expert, after that you should leave fast cars (with blinking and NOT in a curve) past nevertheless.. So then all like on a cord ride behind the V50T5 the remaining laps drive (after all all had to sign a 2000.- self-retention) Conclusion: to everyone highly recommended, just because one on a race track also sometimes experienced how the car reacts, if you move it faster than with the pace in/out of town and do the corresponding exercises! Greetings Kusi, was constantly too fast today in the Vito

Hello, a few days ago MT showed up for the first time. Now I’m on the net again and I’m seriously worried about it. Quotation: By 2010, gasoline and Super should contain ten percent ethanol (E10), only Super Plus should be offered unchanged. Since this *** government seems to want to enact a law that forces many drivers to switch to the expensive Super+. I don’t know if my box (~10 years young) can tolerate the ethanol product. Where does it come from? I find information about which (Volvo) petrol is released for E10 (or ethanol in general)? Who has experience with ethanol? Greetings Tom *** find something nice from what fits in

Hello, what is a real alternative for you to your elks??? Stand before this question, because if Volvo really goes to China, I will probably not buy an elk anymore. However, since I have the problem to lose with the German premium brands possibly envious customers, I stand before a real problem. 1.) I do not want a large SUV anymore (one number smaller enough) possibly also a large Kombi 2.) I do not like to drive an all-world passat etc 3.) I absolutely want a gasoline with Bum m (LPG / Autogas) and at least 150 HP better 200 + 4.) my budget gives max. 45. – 50,000 € (EK price incl. fairytale tax) 5.) preferably circuit or if then at least 6 steps automat or stepless And that’s what “he” should have: Leather Navi Klimatronic (best also back) PDC Xenon cruise control best with distance space in the trunk AND STIL!!!
