Hello, could a proud owner of an XC60 D4 FWD and/or a V60 D4 FWD (model year 2014 with 181hp) write to me, which is a realistic consumption value for these vehicles. The consumptions listed in the documents would be far too nice to be reasonably true. Usually here is always a bit measured by reality (without light, without climate, without radio, light running tires,…)… Thank you already in advance! Greetings Mirko

Hello, I have a V70 drive since 02/2010. In April 2011 (23,000 km) suddenly a whistle was heard while taking the gas, apparently turbo broken, turbo changed on warranty and whistles was gone. Now (35,000 km) occasionally the same whistle appears again. Last Friday the car was therefore in the workshop, today came a call from the dealer. After consultation with Volvo the diagnosis is to change turbo again, should be done in 2 weeks. Does anyone know the problem or shows up more often (according to my dealer they have never had this before, neither with the V70 nor with the other models) ? From February the guarantee is over, I then have no desire to have the turbo replaced at 6-month intervals. How would you approach the topic, has someone from Kulanz already received a warranty extension to a certain part? Thanks in advance for all the answers.

First of all, a friendly Hej in the round, I’ve been driving a Saab 9-5 2.3T limousine for 10 years now. Due to the sad economic situation of my brand, I’m going to have to find another brand in the future! And since there’s no combo in question for me, I’ve become aware of the S80II. After I didn’t like the first version at all, I’m very impressed by the timeless elegance of the current version. Now I have no experience with Volvo at all. Therefore, I would like to give me some help. To make it quite concrete: I’ve taken a S80II 3.2 AWD into consideration, MY09. What about the experiences with the machine so far. What consumption values can be achieved in this configuration (automatik, all-wheel). My Saab Turbo is very reasonable, in the summer as well as in the winter, I’m driving at 8,5-9,0 liters, and on the BAB also i.d.R. only a travel tempo of 160 km/h Zug. I’m really good at the Retrigger, I’s over 180 km/over.

Hello people! I have the following problem: Our V60 is used alternately by my wife and myself, I have a Windows Phone (Samsung Omnia 7) my wife has an Android (Samsung Galaxy). The Bluetooth connection works perfectly in itself, if the device is connected once. The only problem is that I have to make the connection manually every time my wife has driven the car before, and was connected to her mobile phone. My V60 is searching nicely for “previously connected devices”, but finds nothing. I have to go into the Sensus menu myself and select my Omnia 7 from the list, then it is perfectly connected. Of course Bluetooth is activated on the mobile phones, but that’s also true. I can’t find any other adjustment options that you can so google (hook at “authorized connection” etc.). Meanwhile, it’s very annoying already when I forgot to connect again and when the ride is called. Either you don’t answer or you have a security problem… Does someone have a different idea than to take away my wife’s mobile phone?
