  • Volvo – the perfect rail vehicle

    The cucumber is back from its short trip. The moose driver allowed himself from Berlin sleeping car with shower and breakfast. Further back the moose heated in time of arrival powerfully so that it does not get so cold when climbing over the frost limit. Now moose cleaning is required to remove the first winterish salt traces. The cucumber

  • Create mp3, but how?

    I know it’s not the theme for mt-volvo. but I think that I get the fastest and best answer here. how to convert a normal cd as mp3 with derm win-mediaplayer to run it over the jukebox (that is, mt-volvo worthy). hoast that otherwise has the violin box in the car

  • will there be an XC 50?

    Thanks to my initial question – cheap alternative to the XC 90 – also the topic of little brother for the big ship came into the discussion. Because this topic is already on topic: does someone know already more than “it is discussed about it” and a few photo montages, which have sprung from the imagination of some draughtsman? If I should dream, for the big one there should be a 6 cylinder diesel with an output of say about 220-230 hp and a small brother with all the security Echnish finessen, which I expect from my house brand, with a small diesel with 120-140hp. Then the motorization in our household would be perfect. ..and the children then still get: the S60 for the son or the C 30 for the daughter (Mist, now the alarm clock has ringed….) lG Richard

  • 1.8 vs. 2.0 in C30

    After 1.5 decades with ital. automobiles I will change the habits and preferences a little in spring 07 and probably try a C30. The last two cars had diesel engines (by the way really excellent things), unfortunately the cost/benefit ratio has developed so unfavorably that I can easily drive gasoline again with my basic values and marginal conditions, despite the additional consumption etc. Purchase price/maintenance/ Insurance and the awfully tight engine characteristics (2000 upm speed band) make me think of a petrol engine again. From the paper values the Volvo-Ford 1.8 is almost equal to the 2.0. The minimal multi-leash tunes do not seem to justify the 1,600,- extra costs, at least at first glance. End-jumping over 200 km/h doesn’t matter anyway, I don’t need to, torque is marginally 8-10% higher, should wg. extra weight be hardly perceptible. Acceleration is a uf the paper by a factor of 8% better, and thus lies in the tolerance range of the finish dispersion. Only the +20 hp should be a little noticeable in everyday life. So my question: Can someone from his own experience report here about a significant difference between the two engines, or would you possibly also say… 1800 ccm is ok. Then another question. Will there also be the option “wood” in the interior? I do not want “Alu” or “White” … I think that with this anyway totally Ice-cold and a little too super-relevant interior “wood” would be a good solution. Or can the wood inlays from the S40/V50 be installed in the same way? Thanks for the advice, first. SV

  • Chipsaway experiences?

    Recently there have been eager advertisements for a franchise company(?) specializing in removing small scratches from the paint, damage to the interior etc., without making complete paintwork etc necessary. (Always when promises are very full-bodied, I automatically become suspicious…) Does anyone have any concrete experience with a repair by this company or technology?? lg Richard

  • Chiptuning by MR Sweden at 2.4

    Hi, I had seen on the page of MR Sweden an offer as that should bring the 2.4 140ps to 190ps 250nm???was mailed about how this should be realized with a suction cup only by chip,Sportluffi and other spark plugs?herr Reumann then wrote back that he offers a PPC tuning which is played via OBD but no answer to my question……….. So either the 140ps is a choked 2.4i 170ps or he can conjure… 50ps only by chip with the suction cup never believe in life What do you think?

  • What are you giving your Volvo for the party?

    Moinsen! a short question about Christmas as well as other holidays of the great religions are at the door or were recently and there is something given to the loved ones. Parents, partners, Gören/Plagen I like my children, the pets and of course still to the siblings and grandparents. But do you also think about your Volvo? So, if you consider your Volvo: what do you give him/her? My little Sörtie (C30) gets from me for the celebration (but on the 25th and not 24th. ) a few nice acessoires of Volvo… Because, a beautiful back, can also delight And there is just a new spoiler and wiper arm. Of course a wellness day in the best washing street of the area and a “peeling” in the home room (garage) The car of my parents, the Sven (S80 I) gets a full tank Super Plus (gets only “cheap” super) as well as a set of new floor mats and beautiful new “blood” (oil change)… What do you give your Volvos?

  • Belts are forbidden, but it would be necessary … – wouldn’t it?

    We’re not allowed to wear straps, but it would be necessary … – right? Hi together, had a chat with the friendly about the belt strapper (I mean now the back spring – not a possible accident preload device) in my XC70 and told me a bit about the “misfunction”. The belt doesn’t pull itself in by itself when my daughters jump out of the car. The consequences can be seen then by the scratches in the paint when the kids throw the doors behind them. Then we are too a brand new (sale room) V70 went – and see there (picture): same behavior. The master says however, they can not get there, the belt strapper is verblompt! Well, have the girls admitted now – but that surely happens again sometime 🙁 Tschau Torsten – the XC fan (and again picture attachment forgetter)

  • Delay in new models

    I found the article, if it really comes from the “insider”. After that Volvo probably has problems bringing the successor models to the market as planned. Some insider news: 1) The C70 is delayed. Background for this are the impossible troubles with the ceiling. The car was’t shown at Genève (which was the original plan). The new plan is to introduce it in the ’05 season. 2) The new S80 (they use the Ford codenames, project Y286) has some unforeseen troubles too. These troubles a re far more important, because the S80 is the base for all the new big Volvo’s (and planned for begin ’06). IF he ‘ll be late too, that’s a big problem because the successors (Y285 (V70) and Y283(S60) ‘ll be delayed too. 3) Some XC50 news: the P1 codes are replaced by the new Ford names. The XC50 project is now known as project Y360. He won’t be fabricated in Ghent, or Gothenburg but in Halewood. That’s in Engeland folk. I can add that the XC50 ‘ll be the sister of the new Land Rover Freela nder. Take it for what it is, Greetings Volvo 174
