Hello Elche, after I have recently easily exceeded the 100,000 km, now the following problem occurs at irregular intervals. I accelerate evenly in the fourth or fifth gear, then at approx. 2,300 revolutions the speed falls jerky by approx. 200 – 300 revolutions, after which the acceleration continues normally. The problem does not occur in the first three gears. It only occurs occasionally, sometimes not a whole day. I was at, this has no error My XC 60 (07/2010) will soon be able to go to the , so that he can approach the error. Has anyone ever had something similar, which might limit the error? I have also recorded the phenomenon on mobile phone, which I will send to the sender tomorrow. Ratlose Grüße aus dem flachen Norddeutschland

Hello Volvo Enthusiasten, since in another post I have already referred to the service MyVolvo, here again the link. I find it a great thing, because you have for your own vehicle all necessary data ready, i.e. everything that has been installed and what you need (motor oil quality and all filling quantities, production date, extras etc.) Service appointments can be registered online and many more gimmicks. This service may already clarify some questions. before it is placed, you only have to search through yourself and even the manual is available Should someone have posted something similar before, sorry greetings teonash

Hello, I’m new here in the forum and wanted to introduce myself briefly. I come from Switzerland and last week I received my xc 60 t6 lime green 2008 model. Yes, it’s a different ride like the impreza wrx, which was always a loyal companion. Hope the volvo will also do this:-) the first long-distance test proved to be very comfortable and pleasant. So to the question: does the 2008 with the city safe recognize even pedestrians or is this only the case with the newer models? dler thinks he recognizes these and also told me that the distance controller in connection with the automatic in the stairway slows down to zero.. In the test of this function, the tempomat sounded at about 40 km/h and I had to take over myself. Do I do something wrong or did the dealer just want to specify something? I’m curious to answer your questions. Gruss Smapo

Hello together, I am currently busy with the question “Heico performance increase for the XC60 DRIVe MJ2011 or not?” – We ordered this car, of course, without performance increase. It should be delivered next month. Should I first drive the car like this or have it equipped directly with the performance increase? I just can’t decide, especially since 1800 EUR are not very little money. Of course, nobody can take this decision from me, but m I’d be interested in your pros and contras.

Hello, I am currently planning to buy a new car, and the V60 has the best chances. Since there is a juicy price increase on the one hand at the beginning of November, on the other hand, a facelift is obviously announced for 2013, I am faced with the decision to hit it quickly now, or rather to wait. My Mazda 6 has already nearly 180T km down, but it will last for a while, so that’s not the problem. The Facelift model has a higher residual value in return, and it may be possible to negotiate larger discounts if the FL approaches, but if you choose the “old” model, I would like to mention the topic in another thread, but I would like to have as many opinions as possible, which is why I have a special topic. What do you think about it? I am grateful for opinions … VG Moon

For more information: Quote: Volvo Car Corporation announcements temporary stand-still at the Torslanda plans Volvo Car Corporation has decided to temporarily stop production in the Torslanda plant during week 44, from October 29 to November 2. The measure is taken based on a continuous deadline of the automotive market, primarily in Europe. Therefore a further adjustment to Volvo Car Corporation’s manufacturing operation is necessary. The decision to temporarily stop production means that the Torslanda plant e mployees will be on leave with pay through a combination of utilising time banks and leave of absence. “Europe is the main market for Volvo Car Corporation and the continued recession is naturally affecting the demand for our cars. Against this background, it is essential for us to continue to use the built-in flexibility we have within our manufacturing system,” says Jan Gurander, CFO and acting President & CEO of Volvo Car Corporation. The temporary production stop is in addition to an earl ier decision to reduce the production pace in the Torslanda plant from 57 cars to 50 cars per hour. That change came into effect on October 1. There are no plans for changes to the permanent work force at the Torslanda plant.
