The Geartronic of my S80 D5 AWD (MJ 2011, 120.000km) just makes me despair. The following symptoms occur: sporadic jerking when switching automatically from the 3rd to the 2nd gear. Sporadic intensive jerking when changing the drive stage from “Neutral” to “Drive”. The strange thing is that this jerking occurs only sporadicly and not permanently again. It comes to me especially when the engine and transmission are warm. The following works have already been done by the Volvo contractor: error memory read out (no errors) Complete transmission flushing. Current SW played out. Unfortunately no improvement. Now I have a date for calibration of the GT. Supposedly, this is a huge effort. Does anyone have experience with it? Did someone have the same symptoms on his 6 gear GT? Thank you for your help. LG, Nordisk.

Hello dear Volvo community, since I change my vehicles on average every four years (sh. signature), I have been looking for a successor for my 320i touring for a long time. Due to the company philosophy of Volvo, the brand is quite likeable and is on top of my note. I have already tested the V 70 several times. Since I was (still) somewhat disturbed by the size and durability, yesterday a test drive with a V 60 D3 momentum from 2011 (163 hp automatic) was available. I would like to report on the comparison of both vehicles and then get rid of a question. Pro BMW: Pro Volvo: Undecisive: Conclusion: The V 60 is a nice car. However, it did not immediately “Klick”. I then felt more comfortable in the BMW. But after the first hard blows in the back of this feeling again. If I want to change the car next year, the 3 model is still not in the budget (where I also have to test the ride comfort first. But it should be better in the F31 than in the E91). From the V 60, however, if I want to be able to make a replacement with the V?

Moin dear elk community. At the moment, I am a bit bored, as my elk ( My 17, XC60 T5 ) has to feel that most of the time leads a rather stress-free car life and therefore my thoughts are currently drifting towards the service that is about 2 months ahead. Means in plain language: Since I am mainly travelling with a company car, our elk is predominantly my wife’s wife for occasional shopping or other smaller tours and will probably not even scratch at the 6000 km annual running performance. The car is now 2 years old but he had been on a car yard for a year ago and again got a service with oil change before delivery in February of this year. So it is almost, at least seen for me, still relatively a new vehicle. I would really be interested in how you would approach the prescribed annual Volvo service at such a low annual running performance in my place? But considering the fact, perhaps a possible warranty or culant regulation only in the case of cases, I would be grateful for no need for a service or for it.

Since the beginning of the year I have been very satisfied with the car and I was surprised that Volvo is building such bad engines. the engine felt like a 1.8 liter with max. 150 hp, was – especially in urban traffic – extremely nagelig (there were my Mercedes diesels very quiet even in the past..) and loud, consumption around the 10 liters at a lot of highway. then after 60 TKM a new engine, because the old one was torn. so far, so bad. I felt that I had to torture myself still 2 years, until I can buy a BMW again. now I have a new engine in it for a week and 1.5 TKM and the car seems to be a completely different one: consumption (minus 2 liters!) finally all 205 horses on board is clearly quieter he has also become asking me now whether the previous engine was a negative breaker or a new development was installed. how do your D5 Diesel run like this?

so – my V60 I get in the middle of the winter and as standard equipped with summer tires (which is a nonsense – can not let me drive with it at all from the yard). Well – so still have to order a set of winter pushes. I tend to the Michelin A4,m.E. one of the best tires and strangely the cheapest offer of Volvo. There are certainly more here before this question – what did you decide?
