  • gratifying surprise!

    Hello to each other, I still drive my v70 bifuel, year 2002 , 90 Tkm, and yesterday experienced a pleasant surprise. After 5 years of moose time I surprisingly found that there is a very enjoyable feature with my moose. I find the space-saving possibility of a check/fuel card in the glove compartment very practical, but that with pulled keys still the electric window lifter and also the sliding roof for a unique closure because let was new to me – nice thing! Maybe you can use my thread to announce your volvotypical ideas/players/discoveries. Have a good trip! scout 2

  • Short experience report after chip tuning

    Hello, after a long time of thinking, I decided to give the Xc90 a few more Ps. After my Volvodealer’s tip, I decided to do a tuning with which the control unit was simply reprogrammed? Unfortunately, I have no idea how it worked exactly, but took less than 20min. After I was on the road with it over 2500km, I can say that the Xc90 is much better on the gas. That, I call it getting deep air b The speed limit was probably deleted at the same time as I did not drive the car yet. The highest was so far 190km/h speedometer, which was achieved with less “start” than before and one had the impression that there was still something to come. Most clearly one notices the extra power when accelerating out of construction sites. To the consumption I can say that the so far significantly decreased, would almost say that at the moment I consume 1l less. So far there have been no faults. Greetings Patrick

  • V70 III Bj 2012 as Sweden Import AFV: transmission, battery, electronics

    Hello! I recently bought one of these Volvo factory cars with Prins CNG system as young used. I am super satisfied, this is a very pleasant driving, and with a filling CNG (about 15-16kg) I manage the 300km. Can’t you complain! I notice a few details – does someone have experiences? 1. The automatic transmission is very smooth. When switching down from the 3rd to the 2nd gear, especially if you just let it run out and is no longer on the gas, it dangles e Is that normal? 2. Occasionally an error message comes, battery level weak or similar – I have already read with someone else in the forum. Is that because he was standing at the car dealership for a long time? 3. In the BC there is regularly an error message that the belts are not laid on the back seat – although there is no one there. Is this an electronic defect? 4. Does someone have experiences what retrofitting Bluetooth and/or Navi cost? Greetings Altenberg

  • Presentation and a few questions

    Moin together! I intend to add an XC 70 III, year 1/11, km 152,000, 1 hd., switch, equipment Sunnum, 163 HP Diesel. So far I drive a V 70 I and have been active here for a long time. Are there any weaknesses I have to pay particular attention to? Since the car has AHK, I have to pay special attention to the drive? Which major maintenances (oil trap, particulate filters etc. are to be expected)? For tips and suggestions I am grateful to you here the link to the Aut o: http://ww3.autoscout24.de/classified/281097547?asrc=steas Greeting, Ben

  • Request for help with the purchase of an XC60

    Hello people and happy new. My father wants to buy a new car soon and the decision has been made on a Volvo XC60. He finds it chic and successful all around. So now the search for the right start – his driving profile should be 1/3 city, 2/3 AB and he drives about 20,000 km a year. Must haves include automatic, Xenon, Navi and max ~ 80,000 km / mileage and at least BJ 2011. Is there equipment that you consider absolutely important? Why? Finally, I would like to ask for your opinion on this model.http://m.mobile.de/vehicles/inserat/219550323.html?od=UP&sb=p Thank you very much for A.N.

  • T6 2 liters with AWD?

    Hello to the forum, I’m new here, therefore a few words ahead: I had only a Volvo (S60 2.4i) so far, with which I was very satisfied, but I could only drive for a short time. Because of stay abroad he had to leave again (all-wheel was asked). Now I would like to buy a new car at the latest at the end of the year. Currently I drive a BMW X3 3.0i, but BMW should not become it any more. Stay for me basically XC60 or the new Benz. utos. But this time I’m fluctuating… Now to the question: in the configurator I have seen the XC60 as T6 today with AWD, but as four-cylinder. Since when is it available in the version with four-wheel drive? Since I apparently missed the market launch. Does anyone already have experience with the car? Thanks and greeting Wolfgang

  • Legroom XC60 vs V70

    Moin Geimeinde, and still a healthy new one ! Have today an XC60 MY 16, D4 AWD , R design as a replacement car. Conclusion: nice weighing. The internal processing is so far tip-top although the cheap plastic on the ventilation looks less valuable than in my now 4 year old V70. The engine pulls confidently and sufficiently smooth from then. That is my D3 in total now clearly superior to driving dynamics. Driving fun is thus available. Suspension tuning is considerably more sporty and st As far as I’m concerned, I’m very satisfied. Now to my question: Can it be that the legroom in the driver’s seat is lower than the V70? I’ve pushed the seat completely backwards and have the feeling that my gas foot/leg is slightly more angled than I have otherwise set it in the V70. I’m not sure if I’m on a longer ride with this Positio Otherwise, the XC60 is worth considering if it is to become a new moose.

  • Steering, wheel bearing and engine replacement

    There is a lot to do about our 850er Limo from 1993. Some things have to be done for the TÜV and other things are more or less fun. The parking brake is TÜV-relevant. I think I can do that. The steering is leaky and therefore spongey. Probably not TÜV-relevant, but it has to be done. The car is needed daily. That’s why I wanted to get a used steering, repair it and then mount it over the weekend. And here’s the first problem. I I found only one sticker with the indications 6800275, AC23A414. But not on the steering gear but on the push rod. Can anyone do anything with this? Another thing is a desired motor replacement. Soon the timing belt and the clutch have to be renewed. To do this, the motor j a. We still have a 125 kW engine (to be repaired) in another Volvo. What does everything have to be changed if we want to install this engine in our Limo? Does the entire engine compartment wire harness have to be replaced? What about the control units (engine and ABS)? What about the exhaust system (including catalyst)? What information do you need to answer these questions? I have already called the TÜV. Unfortunately, there is no need for a replacement. “He would call me again,” he said. But that was already a week ago and nothing is happening. I think, however, the TÜV should accept the conversion. There is this 1993 soda with the 125kW engine. The third topic is the exchange of the rear wheel bearings: My soda still has 4-hole rims. I want to get this as much as possible. Unfortunately, there are no more so many suppliers for rear wheel bearings for 4-hole rims. And if, then at high prices. but also found individual ball bearings as wheel bearings. Has anyone ever changed ball bearings? I and I have done this kind of work already, but I would be very grateful for a short instruction. Unfortunately, something has become a lot for a post but I have really limited myself. There is a lot more to do. Thanks already now for your answers.

  • V60 retires

    Hi, after my moose announced that he was no longer so fit for my driving profile, I decided quite spontaneously to let him retire as healthy as possible. So that he doesn’t catch anything else, he can even celebrate his vacation. I’m waiting for the new colleague’s attitude… Greetings Markus
