  • Sense of the 185 hp D5 in the V70/S60 with front drive

    Hello, I myself drive the 163 hp D5 with 17′ rims. This car hardly gets the power on the road. What is the 185 hp version supposed to do better apart from the final speed? What do a lot of hp and Nm help if they smoke in the anti-antish air control? Here are clearly the limits of the front drive shown. This is also shown in my permanent criticism point at the V70 – the turning circle. The new D5 makes only sense in my eyes as AWD. How do you see this? that from the aspect of the rideability, if you let the image factor “Meiner ist grosser (185 PS) als Deiner (163 PS)” out of the way. Matthias P.S.: It’s not that I don’t give everyone his 185 PS, but in contrast to the XC90, for me the V70 clearly poses the question of meaning.

  • Tesla Mobility

    Is the reason why everyone turns over to take an autonomous car to the road, a new business model?? Here is what is told of the “Tesla Mobility” with miles selling. …now I understand why SuC is being built everywhere, and why the electronic tank trunks should come… Several people have a car together that autonomously drives to bring the father to work, then the neighbour’s children are brought to school, after which the grandmother drives shopping u.s. .w. A billion-dollar business. Page 2 in the link (page 1 also interesting)http://www.handelsblatt.com/…/12200790-2.htmlhttp://www.wallstreet-online.de/…/…esla-motors-kollisionskurs-uber MfG RKM

  • Request for purchase advice – V70 D5

    Dear community, I am completely new here and need a purchase advice. Currently I drive a somewhat outdated Mitsubishi (is also available on mobile.de ) and want to switch to Volvo now. In the eye is a V70 with D5, EZ 02/2005, 201,000km, 5-speed switch. Equipment is quite good so far: seat heating, air conditioning automatic, memory seat, cruise control, lots of leather, RTI, audio HU-850, etc. etc. Tooth belts have also been changed and the whole device is groomed. r with TÜV until 07/2015 by almost 700€, hope to be able to trade there still at 600€. The dealer also gives 12 months warranty. Since the moose is almost 400km away from my apartment, I do not want to drive there unnecessary… Therefore: what should I pay attention to? Thanks already, you can help a used car lay abundantly

  • V70 used

    Hello everyone! I’m new here. My name is Christian, 35 years old. I came to you about the search at g….le. I turn to you because I’m in need at the moment. My great Renault Laguna started to tube the other day and instead of “only” getting an exhaust change, I got a list of defects that I’m no longer ready to have repaired. Now the purchase of a cheap, but nevertheless good and send – and above all reliable ! – new used a n. My financial possibilities are currently rather limited (just moved, 1 house and an apartment renovated…), but will soon “consolidate” (hopefully..) The time is pressing something because I need a car for work (daily 50 km drive) and currently my mother’s Corsa has to hold on. In the online search I have also stepped on the V70 (which I think has been very cool for a long time). That is needed partly very cheaply at the well-known market places – all I’ve already had a bit of a geek here and come to the conclusion that the Volvos are quite reliable after all. Well a question to you experienced moose driver: is it worth buying a V70 with ~150,000-200.000 km for 3,000-4,000€ ? or is there in Bälde with bigger things or even that to expect? Is a diesel still worth it nowadays with an annual driving performance of 15,000 km ? I hope you can give me a little advice and advice. To stand by the side, unfortunately I have quite little idea of cars.

  • Shouting sounds between 60 and 90 km/h, when braking away!

    Hello community, I’m new and I’m coming up with a problem of my XC70, year 2006, 140000 km, which I don’t get to the bottom of. It started about 30000 km ago and is now worryingly increasing. Between 60 and 90 km/h the car starts to grow louder and louder and vibrates very easily, noticeable e.g. in the hand brake lever. It’s much louder in the rolling than under load. When I brake it stops completely. It’s enough to go on the brake very easily without any significant delay. I have had the XC on stage and controlled wheel bearings and cardan shaft. The joint on the motor side has a light side play. The cross joint in the middle makes a firm impression, also the rubber cuff looks good. The joint to the rear axle also makes a good impression when wobble around. The typical wheel bearing noises are also not. In no corner ride it gets worse or better. kstatt taps on the weights in the coupling, which are probably supposed to make the dome more comfortable. That would be the most expensive variant. But the workshop has been wrong to my displeasure. I doubt something. Does anyone have experience with this noise development? Wheel bearings, cardan shaft joints or the coupling? Three experts have scratched their heads already. Who helps? I’m curious about the answers. Greetings from the South of the Republic, Axel

  • It’s done… 200,000Km are done!

    In 365 days there were about 30tsd kilometers on the Tachoblatt. Whether in the summer at 40 degrees in Croatia with Wova in tow, on the German highways with 200kmh top (not 190kmh measured according to Volvo .. by TomTom) or in the winter in Tyrol, the Volvo XC90 D5 Momentum always remained true to me and completed the kilometers almost without complaint. Except for a wheel bearing reperature of 1200.- (axle legs disturbed during the expansion.. mean, since everything was rusted), various bearings (axle leg bearings will get tomorrow The long-distance comfort is at Mercedes level. This is only slightly weakened, since no AT, but I prefer to avoid the problems… April 2013: Purchase price: 13200.- (at that time purchase price HANDLER 15400.-) -> So ridicule bought with 170,000km April 2014: Value according to dealer 11500.- Since our state has increased the engine-related insurance… THANK YOU …. Anyway, b is 400,000km it should hold and then I am really satisfied with my northern light Even after 200,000km of the interior one almost does not look at it. The switches still look like on the 1st day.. The leather and the shift knob show about weary but everything still in limits The car was up to 140,000km a representative car and always waited from Volvo. Tomorrow comes the picture.. Tomorrow the 2 front.. Today’s km stand see picture Bin proud of him and hope he doesn’t reveal me so fast, but hey, it’s a VOLVO! Greeting Sebi

  • Remove scratches on bumper (cost)

    Hello, a nice neighbor scratched my car when parked. Luckily he’s clear and wants to settle the damage. My first problem is that it happened in a private underground car park. That means that I have to agree with him privately about the costs. He would like to do it without his insurance to not be upgraded. I don’t have a problem with that, but I would like to make a kind of contract by keeping everything (cost, date, etc.) . Is there a template for this? My second problem is the actual scratch. 1. Audi wants to paint the bumper 691€ 2. Free Painter 1 wants to paint the bumper 622€ 3. Free Painter 2 wants to paint the bumper 250€ With all 3 cost estimates, the second Free Painter was the most competent. Only is the cheapest one usually getting a good paint job for 250€ (in the Dresden area)? Or can that be nothing with the price?

  • Garage paint scraper

    Hello dear professionals, since I was driving out today with my sweetheart, coming home in the rain and at the back into the garage .. grrr left too close and already happened. The goal holder has immortalized itself in the left rear side door. Scratch X 2.0 by Meguiar’s unfortunately only wanted to reduce the visibility, but you feel bumps. So I think I have to go to the paint doctor or need at least a good polish with a slight grinding effect. I have attached two pictures. Unfortunately reg The second picture shows the scratches in white. Unfortunately, the first picture is slightly blurred. However, the problem should be recognisable. It is really only the first coat of paint affected, so no primer or sheet metal yet. Hope for a few tips. LG

  • The plastic parts on car care (I am in despair^^)

    I have a question about the plastic parts on the car. I drive a Golf 4 BJ 98, black, whose plastic parts are not painted. I care for my car very well, but with the plastic parts I don’t know any more. And I see with many gölfen where the strips are also not painted that they are fresh and deep! Black. My are rather dark grey I have already tried different means like e.g. plastic care of Armor All (glossy and silky matt). t), plastic cleaner as well as bumper black. But it didn’t bring such a real success with the care product of Armor all I have the feeling that the lasts take it up and the next morning it’s gone both the mat and the shiny. With the bumper black they become a little black again but it bursts after a certain time again and that looks pretty ugly. Can you give me a tip or can you tell me how you feel about the eur or can it be that if a Golf 4 is black that always afford to be greyish and not black? For example, here is an example:http://www.autoscout24.de/AllImages.aspx?id=vqmvwwx2ygtr Lg Alex
