Hello, I’ve had an XC 60 2.5 R design for 3 months. I’m super satisfied with it. Now I have towed my 1800 kg caravan to France to the Atlantic coast, where I’m still a week. I’ve never driven such a strong team before, a really great towing vehicle. Now to the pumkt: Yesterday my great car surprises me with the message: Register service! At 6000 km? I know, Ww is pulling a vehicle, but after approx. 1000 km of pure towing operation already a service? And which one? Is the car such a sensitive little? Who knows what? Thanks already, greeting Ekkehardt PS hopefully he’s going home 😉

if the Navi offers a TMC – alternative route, so I can see the new route on the map – but ONLY the new one! in order to be able to decide whether I like to stay on the old route or prefer the new one, I would like to see the old route parallel to it – with the V50 it went without any problems – this is no longer possible with the V60? – besides, how many km AND minutes the old/new route lasts – with the V60 it is only “new route is 9 minutes longer” – Km information is missing….

Tach put together, have now my S60 several weeks and 7,000 km, the grin somehow does not want to go away…. I now made the 30 Tkm full and am somewhat irritated while looking at the front tyres. There is no more profile there, at the end of this summer is probably end in the terrain. At the back it looks much better. Up to 23,000 km the car has run by the way as a rental car, but is in a top condition and not ridden down. I am not the rocket starter with regard to an affordable consumption, but always notice when the turbo comes. Can it be that the D3 is a little more gnawing at the front tire because of its luxuriant torque than my blissful S40 2.4?? Greetings from the Bergische, Ralph

Hello, now it’s time for another car with the following wishes: increased sitting position, automatic, xenon, automatic air conditioning and gasoline. Now, at the weekend at our Volvo dealer the above mentioned car came to my eye and is really busy. Now I have questions about questions as Volvo layer. XC60 is running year 2008, 70,000 km, fully equipped, should cost 29.500,- €. – Consumption in city and highway so at 140 km/h? – Are there known problems on the engine or body? – What is the installed original navigation system and which map status is up to date? – How high are the inspection costs? – Price appropriate? – What do you have to pay attention to when driving a test drive? Thank you for your help! Greetings TiD

My current Audi A3 1.6 TDI 105 hp consumes approx. 5.2 l to 100 km. A little more (7.0 – 7.5 l) the successor should consume and be a bit more frugal when overtaking it. According to previous research, XC60, XC70, V70 automatic and S80 automatic consume too much (more than 8.0 l lt. fuel monitor). The 163 hp diesel fall out, as not significantly faster than the A3. The V70 also weighs 100 kg more like the S80. So I tend to the S80 215 hp hand switch. a.) Does anyone from the practice have experience what it consumes? b.) 215 hp and front drive – does the grip? c.) 215 hp and hand-operated switch at all – does this work harmoniously? Alternatively, I think about a VW Passat 2.0 TDI 170 DSG Allrad or an Audi A4 3.0 TDI hand-receiver 204 hp.
