Hello dear Volvo experts, I’m about to buy a Volvo V70. I’m quite insecure because many people advise me not to. Now I have an offer where I don’t know how to decide. The car is built in 4/2004 and has 140,000 km and costs 11.500 EUR. What bothers me most is the high mileage. Although the dealer says that should not bother me, the engine puts away that loosely but what is with the wear symptoms of the transmission, exhaust etc. I need your help for my decision-making. Who drives a Volvo and is it really that the kilometers driven don’t play such a big role.

Hello! I tried to change my lights on the radio and climate control panel yesterday. Unfortunately, I was alone and tried to switch with the battery, just that. However, as I had to find out, there seem to be some covers or similar installed from the rear of the whole unit…. But that would mean, you really have to disconnect the battery (VCG specification according to) etc. and completely plug it off and remove the thing to change the lights…. And how exactly does that work then I wouldn’t know… Did someone happen to have a guide on what exactly to dismantle there? Or should I go back to the retreat with my just bought lamps and let it do it? And if, what does that cost? Or did someone ever do it themselves at an XC90? Thank you already! Gruss Paddy PS: Yes, I used the SuFu, but unfortunately not found the XC90…or is there a guide for other models that corresponds to the XC90?

Dear Elkfriends, I have now gone through and will soon become the hardest of my heart to separate from my beloved S80 2.5D, BJ 2001 – and only because of the rotten fine dust badge. I bought my elk anno 2006 with 104,000 km for 10,500 euros. We immediately became friends at that time (I had a 960 combi, i.e. already elk trainer experience) and now spent almost ten years and 274,000 km together – tacho stand today 378,000 km. If I distribute purchase price and repair costs over the years, the car cost me in the month silly 130 euros and never let me down. I am sad …, but you should look forward. And that’s exactly where I’m not looking right now. I’m looking for an adequate successor – with particle filter, but still before the body change, so if I see that right, until BJ 2006? If I remember right, then the immediate diesel successor has already got after my S80 (the one still over the uncaputable Audi T-motor) and there was something to be recommended for the engine? And then thanks for the engine.

hello again, I don’t know why, but I didn’t really have the impression today that the mechanic(?) had seen something like a sweden tank at all, but I was suspicious and had to go in again, on ́m Li..parking place, and see there it lacks the fire gas drainage. not there, just a hose that lies around there and I had already printed 139 out of the operating instructions (because of the 10 min forced pause after ignition). the battery had ordered the master after vehicle registration (minor), then the actually had to own a fire gas-abltg, or not. can I now drive through the prarie or would the nem suicid come immediately????? to answer am I looking forward to thank you, Willvo.
