Hello forum colleagues! We drive one of the safest automobiles in the world and here in the forum (at least in the majority) we often occupy our wise driving. Can I therefore dispose of the offers of the alliance with your “driver accident plus” insurance unread? They write what from 30T€ death and 60T€ disability case – for the driver AND the passenger – for 12.18€/year (per car, and it is about 3 vehicles). I think that everyone (like me) anyway is accident-related. or does someone do such insurance? Insured Greetings Torsten – the XC fan (and hates such an insurance stuff. I am loosely overinsurance several times, but who can still look through – without being a full-time employee of an insurance company. Think that’s all “tapping off” anyway 😉

Hello guys, for first I would excuse my self because I’m writing in English, but my writing in German is not perfect so I don’t want to make a mess. Before 4 months ago I have bent Volvo C70 D5a Summum 2007 (180PS) inclusively complete external Heico Exterior pack with four pipe exhaust system + diffuser.http://www.heicosportiv.de/mainframe.asp?lang=en&e1=371 Is it normal that sound with this exhaust system in connection with D5 engine is only an make-up (sound of exhaust system is crap = no sound at all) or my Volvo garage have made some mistake? On Heico site it is written that it has been built for T5 and D5 engines. I have searched on net about this topic butther is nothing write about it. For example sound on D5 engine and Donsilencioso exhaust system is amazing.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfpYgy8cYi8 Do you have any tips how exhaust sound could be improved and if this is normal? If I upgrade engine unit with Heico or kit to 205PS would it help? Thanks in advance Alex

What is good about train driving: through the Fred about the future of VOLVO I once again set up the price lists for myself. I had given my mustard in the relevant thread. With my brain fantasies and delusions, but always with the view of the reality. Please don’t stick to the technical data, they are still very much in the shell. Actually only those of the C30 are finished. On Thursday there are 3 lists to add. Then my idea of the VOLVO model year 2009 finished. Here we go: C30 EDIT 28.08.2008: WUNSCHLIST UPDATE EDIT 14.09.2008: this is how the list went to VOLVO.

Hi together, I actually wanted to take back a little bit with my Volvo commitment, because the time required causes noticeable repercussions – but here I couldn’t help ;-))) The radio station HR3 searched on 31.12.05 in “the show with the number” [0138-6000] for the raffle of a Nanotech varnish seal “Hessen’s biggest dirty radio”. When this call went over the ether it took 30 minutes and the transmitter had a picture of my XC70 before ;-)) Yesterday, 2 weeks later , I had forgotten the action again, is XC fan live OnAir!!!! 14:50 am on Samtag afternoon I chatted briefly (very briefly) with the moderator about my Volvo and won compared with 2 other candidates on the title. Now I get in the next days a paint care, disc pellet and rim care from the Nano-Zentrum Fulda. I ́m curious. I still find the title – so people, from now on officially: “Hessens biggest dirt fink” ;-)) After the broadcast r HR3 carried out the action became the mother house, the Hessische Rundfunk clairvoyant and sends a reporter for sealing. Let’s see what happens further. I documented the action here (there also my applicant photo): http://www.xc-fan.de/photogallery/20060114_HR3/index.htm 😉 I have to copy the MP3 recording (then you can also listen to my Gelaber). In the picture my short-term installation on the notebook to record the broadcast. Good ride! Torsten – the XC fan (and “Hessen’s biggest dirt finch”!)

Hello together, the basis of my question is the following condition: Due to road damage is currently only possible with alternating traffic with traffic light control. The road is winding, confusing and also has a nice incline / gradient. Even before the partial lock there were regular accidents with the oncoming traffic and the guardrails. I have been busy for some time following Ftage: When I arrived at the just red light and because of the long waiting time the engine is switched off, Do safety devices like the airbag remain active? In other words, if the key is in position “I” in a standstill and the oncoming traffic “flys” into the vehicle front/side, the airbags can trigger at all. Greetings Manfred, who doesn’t want to start the discussion now, if the parking of the engine at the traffic light does anything at all.

Oh ever oh ever, today my buddy calls me. As a Volvofan I seduced him half a year ago to buy an XC90. For weeks he is already looking forward to his new bolids like a little child. Drives to the bridging old Astra and is finally happy when he has his new Volvo. As I said, the phone rings. “My Volvo is there,” he says. I am also looking forward to it! “But that wasn’t all,” he says, with a serious voice. In short: On Saturday his Ne delivered to the yard by the Volvo dealer. On the night from Sunday to Monday, 102!!!!! Volvos were flattened by unknowns. Scratched, tires pierced, etc. Of course, his was also there. And now we drive to the dealer in the morning and look at his new, broken moose. “Starts well”, he said at the end, because it is his first Volvo and otherwise almost only Mercer drove. I tell you, although not my Volvo, but also me ta The dealer was already hit for the second time. About 2 months ago, several Volvo bumpers, headlights, etc. were stolen from there. Comforted in a little bit here in the forum. I then print out the sides of it. Make it good, Shaolin priest P.S.: Writing mistakes you find, I give you =;o)

Hello all, with us in the family the following problem arises: The grandmother of my wife died and left a BMW 730i, EZ 6/88 with 32,300 km (no typing mistake). Now the family council decided to sell the car. Various uncles with “exception” want still EURO 10,000,– for the car. I think for quite crazy (but don’t say that open). Does one of you have a tip on how to sell such a bargain fairly?? My advice to my parents-in-law was: Off into the garage with it, a few years wait until he is oldtimer. Or to the ADAC, have used car reviews made and then re-advised. Thank you very much for the numerous information. Greeting Stefan (who actually wanted to stay out of the topic)

Hello, lately, there has been a lot of discussion here about what should be different with the next model and what additional functions there might be. Many individual points have been mentioned and discussed. There are design studies in the dozen. But what if you make the transition to the overall view? After all, not only a technical detail but sometimes also the overall behavior of the driver changes. Phone shifts the work into the car, the stability control leads to a I have tried to put together what a test drive could look like in the future and what is important to the driver. I have attached it as a TXT file so that it doesn’t need so much space. At least I hope that this works with the appendation ) Comments that are not interesting for the general public, flames etc please direct by PN. Le Rapace

volvo-drivers are generally considered a little more nuecher. I would guess that you don’t think about ferraris and porsches ONLY when it comes to your car wash. … and there are certainly not only ONE desired car or is this also subject to certain changes, depending on the personal situation, which also evolves in the course of time. in any case, I am concerned about reachable, perhaps already seriously fulfilled wish and not about any lambor ghinis. i present one: a peugeot 205 was my first real desire car for eternity, except of course from an all-time “driveable kfz on four wheels with at least one year tuev” right after the purchase of the lobe. when I finally had the 205, this big volvo combi was on my wish list at some point. at that time he was still called 850er. well, today I drive one of his successors, as you all know. on my wish list today is always on my wish list. no porsche and also no clk. well, not quite. a 30 year old 911er had already something. but with the oldtimers I would prefer a well-preserved 164er nevertheless. is simply more comfortable =;^) … and if the children are sometimes out of the house, then it may be a big volvo- or saab-cabrio, if necessary also one of audi. or but as a second car, next to the microbus of vw, which unfortunately will never exist, or the future v90, which we will hopefully give again soon d. na, let’s see what kind of car I’m going to come on tomorrow. … and you?

When I just brought the cat to football, I had to pass my regular tank (yes Oli… I’m making it hard for you). At first thought the ad was broken, but when I discovered another gas station even a cent more, I knew that this could not be a mistake. The current diesel price is now 1.22€. I thought I was hit by the blow. What are the reasons for this price this time? Perhaps the long weekend that some people use to drive away Does a major shareholder cough? Greetings Heiko (quietly scared and sour) PS: Super costs 1.39€ and Normal 1.37€
