Lena brought the Grand Prix to Germany! Germany got many 12 points. I’m happy after 1982, after Nicole wins Germany again! What do you say about the decision and look forward to next year! Lena is the best!!!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esTVVjpTzIY Share with me your opinions LG from Luxembourg Ben P.S.:Was also for our neighbor Belgium who was only 6th

So, I’m just going to open a thread. Maybe after the first in-ear recording at Radio Schweden (other thread) there’s something like a pool for great music, which then – for everyone audible – becomes audible in the form of a broadcast in HiFi quality. As the first broadcast date we have a Wednesday, 9 p.m., planned. Whether it’s the day after tomorrow or the 28.07., somehow it’s up to you Please write on your wishes which Volvo you have. You could see that. Then in the running script for example: [Andy] Volvo V40 – Song title All clear? Then go ahead, come on with the titles. Theme of the first show: “Freestyle – Songs that you like!” Just post, what. Likes more than one song, best two or three! Limitation: please no longer than 8 minutes, if you want to. You can change the motto. I only opened the thread. For those who don’t know what it’s all about: here speak: http://www.laut.fm/radio-sweden Otherwise ask questions. Or just want music. I hope in a week is the start of the first motor talk VOLVO broadcast!

Moin, I don’t think I missed the news, or it’s just a regional thing. Anyway, this week I noticed that I can’t refuel any more Super Plus(98) at our Aral gas station, because away. Not sold out! Away, no price table, no tap, no simply rationalized away and both of my tanks have at least 8 fuel stations with five/six pistols and until recently led all common varieties including ultimate102 and ultimate diesel. I Is this the next turn of madness??? Is that just here, or are they going completely crazy now. Greetings Willvo

Good morning! I’m currently looking for a combo. Budget €20,000-€25,000. I’ve been researching a lot about different models in the last few weeks and can’t really decide on a model. I’ve already limited the search to Volvo cars (2013-2018 series) and the Superb III (2015-2015 – in front of the facelift). Would you recommend a Volvo combo or the Superb? Read a lot about electronics problems with the Volvos. And rust problems are likely to occur with all of them. in Volvo vehicles and also at Skoda. What are your experiences with the models? Greetings to Aleks

I found something interesting while browsing, and that’s when the guys from other brands started a topic where you write the performance of your car and the next one adds its performance to it and so on and so on…. Found it at the “stars”http://www.motor-talk.de/…/…-mercedes-forum-join-t327652.html so then I start at 1. Auto V40 T4 200PS

Please don’t discuss the meaningfulness or why, why, why… We appreciate our Volvo and therefore take another one and yes I know that I will probably not use it often but I just want to have it for me. We get an XC90 T8 MJ22 Now there are two ways to cancel: 1. Heico cancellation to 210Km/h with expert report and warranty for just under 2t€ 2. D5T5 cancellation without limit (will be made remotely) for just under 200€ then of course without expert report and Guarantee (but difficult to discover for the dealer) Has anyone ever had it done ? Does anyone have experience with it ? Thank you

Every now and then you could read about car prices in the USA. You could get envious, but the prices are still too high for the Americans. Are we just too stupid, or are we convinced that our cars are also worth their price in .de? Nice are the examples about the price difference, on the below mentioned page. It’s not a Volvo listed, but I don’t think I’m wrong if I say that there are similar price differences between D and USA. .http://auto.t-online.de/c/10/08/47/78/084778.html Greetings bkpaul

Yesterday’s report received from My Haendler here in NL; also Volvo now has problems with the problems aangering chips and semiconductors known to the world. This makes it not possible from week 21 to break the vehicles out with, in my case a new XC60 my2022, BLIS and 360 camera. Man talks at Volvo about a “compensation”, but what, how and if is not known yet. He also told the series differently affected water. If more is known, calls I’m mad at him right now, but I’m mad at him for a moment.

Hello moose driver, former and future, with interest I followed last year the reports of the Liquid Glass Workshop with d5er. Unfortunately I had not a car there yet, so could not participate. Since one sees the winter on Cosmic White particularly well, I would like to miss my C30 a complete care including sealing. So far, however, I lack the knowledge and the exercise, so I wanted to ask for a new workshop. Does interest exist? Of course, not only Volvo drivers are interested in as always copy, remove and enter a quote. ******************************************* LG Workshop 2011: ———————- Benjamin2111 *************************************** Of course we would still have to find an appointment. I would be in any case for a timely search, since my paint looks pretty ugly.

Hello, I’m not an expert in this field, but I tried to find out with the help of photos whether the new GTDI 2.0 is a real Volvo engine. Volvo had developed a modular 4.5.6 cylinder engine family with the help of Porsche Weissach at the beginning of 1990 such as the 6 Zyl in the 960/S80I, 5 Zyl in the 850/S40II/V50/S60/S80/etc., 4 Zyl in the S40I/V40 (e.g. T4). Also the D5 diesel and the new i6 (built by Ford in Bridgend/Wales) use the same base block. De r i6 also has some Ford elements (e.g. control chain). picture1.jpg (GTDI 2.0) reveals at first glance a typical Volvo engine identity: the block is slightly tilted to the side (see above both camshafts opposite engine cover). picture2.jpg shows the inclination of a Volvo 5 cylinder. This inclination is also present with old pre-Porsche/Weissach Volvo engines, e.g. 4 Zyl in 240. The inclination ensures that the piston always “stitches” at one particular side and at the o Ford/Mazda engines, on the other hand, are installed straight from the candles. picture3.jpg shows the 1.8 in my V50 which corresponds to the Ford (Mazda) Duratec HE. Pre-Mazda Ford engines are also installed straight from the candles. With Ford engines the same effect is achieved because the conrod is not exactly attached to the center of the piston. This is not visible with the naked eye and there should have been hobbyists who did not pay attention to it when disassemblying/assemblying their engine. et haben 😉 bild4.jpg (GTDI 2.0) shows, however, that Volvo has operated on the base block of the Duratec HE and thus breaks with the modular 4.5.6 Zyl Porsche/Weissach Volvo engine blocks. This can be seen precisely from the ribs compared to a real Ford/Mazda 4 Zyl block (fig.5.jpg). The modular 4.5.6 Zyl Volvo blocks, on the other hand, have right-angled ribs (fig.6.jpg: 5Zyl 850, fg.7.jpg: 5Zyl, fg.8.jpg: D5). The oil tank, on the other hand, does not seem to come from the Duratec HE but rather from v On Volvo. Has Volvo borrowed the base block from Ford, developed its own cylinder head, fitted a different oil pan and installed the engine inclined because of other conrods/pistons? The Duratec HE is not a bad engine (the base block is very light), but the block is not modular! In other words, Volvo cannot easily develop a 5 or 6 Zyl version from this engine. For this, the block is optimized especially for the 4 Zyl configuration, which is the smooth running, the weight of the engine. However, can Volvo continue to use this block without expensive license payments to Ford, as Volvo is now part of Geely? Does anyone know more? Greetings, Patrick
