discussed with a friend article. man thinks that there are “taste windows” that eventually close and then the probability of acceptance of a novelty to 5% or less. Quote: for at least one particular fashion novelty, the window of acceptivity essentially closed by age twenty-three; for popular music, it closed by thirty-five; for an alien food type, by thirty-nine what do you think, læsst also apply to cars? has any of you sow we have also discussed a lot of useful and inconvenient innovations in cars in recent times, does your opinion sound like this? (so at some point all opas bmw and audio instead of mercedes, provocatively asked??) lieb gruss oli

Hello V-community, I would like to share my experience with PitStop and would be pleased with advice and tips: Recent TÜV check showed that the winter tyres raised about 2 years ago are not approved for my Volvo. According to papers – and thus manufacturer specifications – 185/70 R14 are the smallest approved size. What I was sold was, however, as now turned out after three winter seasons, only the size 175/70. So according to Tüv I am three winters without approval. And with it even without insurance cover – fortunately WITHOUT accident. Result: I get new winter tyres raised by Volvo and thus get fresh TÜV and actually also insurance cover again. To this end, PitStop only approves of a residual value refund according to residual profile depth. How high this cash payment will be, is still calculated. What do you say about it? My sense of justice would rather be based on a 100% refund and calmly I’ve never had a crash on all sides. Greetings Martin

In the latest issue of the SPIEGEL this article jumped into my eyes today:http://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/0,1518,330927,00.html Since I know the situation in Berlin, Frankfurt/Oder and Cottbus quite well, I think that here only billions of investments of the state in bypass roads & the public transport system bring something. Moreover, the car industry and the car buyers should soon be able to pay a lot of money for new engines. Whether they want to or not. In the short term, at least in Berlin the C Public transport companies, such as the BVG, will look forward to more sales. Cottbusers have also sharpened the pen. They want to ban the federal roads from the city and demand the 200 million euros promised by the federal government for 10 years and postponed to a bypass road after 2015. Otherwise, they want to temporarily cut off the traffic towards Poland from next year. It will still be funny. Because the federal government should not invest the necessary investment for a short time or a long time. And so it came as it had to come: On Saturday the first, unscheduled 6 million check from Stolpe for the road planning in the town hall ended up. How do you see the thing? Greeting from the air-jabbing cucumber from the traffic-laden Cottbus *hust*

Hi Folks, after we had our V40 Diesel Bj. 99 in September in inspection (75000 km, timing belt change), this did not start as joyfully as before. When we drove in the workshop, there was a defective glow that was changed. Nevertheless, the aggregate did not jump properly. In the meantime we were ATTENTION! once in the workshop, whose master after changing the diesel filter housing, the exhaust back valve etc. does not know any more. It means: 40 sec. org, set off, again glow, then it jumps on and fogs the entire road. If it has jumped in the morning, it is no problem to start all day. WHO CAN ME CONTINUE!?!?!? Greetings, Siegie.

Hi Leutz, another thread has already been listed, what you would expect so much for an MJ 2005. I start with (quote from another thread: regarding wish options the Volvo should offer in my opinion also for 2 years, the following points would be included: – “automatic window panes close with remote control” (does not cost the world, however, there is simply not) – that the exterior mirrors e.g. also automatically darken (other Herstel The possibility to choose a “premium” paint finish – which is less sensitive than the current varnishes of Volvo – – automatically darkening sides/heck discs…. – or as an option an electrically retractable “solar roller” on the rear window, – Bluetooth system (for telephone) or other devices – automatic air pressure control of the tires – DVD player with LCD monitors in the headrests for fund passengers – And the new hip: moving out illumination of the road… – etc… What do you still think is missing? Jürgen

These are the infamous 400 problems

Hi together, can you buy Volvo merchandising products somewhere directly (caps, pendants, ballpoint pens and what else do I know)? Here’s the beginning with a product that doesn’t come from Volvo – but I thought this right away when I saw the animal and the word “winter fun” … Tschau Torsten – the XC fan (who doesn’t have a Volvo cap yet)

Hello, in the ElchWiki the question was raised whether the Chirp module is permissible in Germany. The instigator argues that it produces unnecessary noise and is therefore inadmissible. On the manufacturer’s side there is no information about an ABE or similar, on the photos of the device there is no corresponding mark to be seen, but this can also be due to the poor recording perspective. As far as I know, there were some that have installed the module, which it also has the 🙂 installed. Therefore it should be allowed in my opinion. Who can serve with more precise information? – Admissibility? – Registration required? – Other countries? Thank you 🙂

Is actually quite ok that such cheap fussel Zeuchs will get away most of the time, BUT: Quotation: Already at the beginning of 2007 a new, Europe-wide regulation for replica bikes will come into force. After that the new wheels in size and construction must be identical with the standard wheel. The tuning is thus limited to the design. Ergo: The accessory list from the becomes automatically the tuning list.. As the Gauls said: Quotation: …The spins, the EU politicians… Gruss Kusi, islanders Europ ed

A question, are there still people who drive a 440-er or no one wants to drive it anymore? e.g.: the 1.8 90 hp is only for the sake of the instinct, have no thanks for your opinion.
