Hello, I did an inspection at Volvo before about 400 KM in the frame of which also the spark plugs and the air filter were replaced. According to the invoice / part number these spark plugs were used:http://www.skandix.de/…/ 1015972 or 31272427 After now about 400 driven KM I notice that the fuel consumption has increased enormously, without my driving profile or driving style had changed. I record the consumption since about 85,000 KM ( Spritmonitor ). On the winter tires it can not be lying, they have been on it since October. There were no full gas drives, the car was not driven loaded in this time. Since one month I consume about 1.5 liters more, because I only drive 7 KM simply to work and therefore put off the car, if it has just become warm. Earlier, when I drove only long distance was the consumption at 6,7 liters. Because of the shorter distance and the cold season the consumption can be already about 8 liters. I have 2 pictures attached to it, but it would be nice to see the mixture, but it is wrong to see the fuel?

How safe is laminated glass?
Hello As I know, more and more new cars with laminated glass (with V70 and Co. now also in combination with tinted windows) are ordered in the side windows. These have the advantage that they lower the noise level in the vehicle and make it difficult to steal valuables from the car. Great, but… I have been thinking about such a scenario. What if, for example, the doors are clamped by a collision? Often, one can be rescued or recovered through the side window. However, the rescue from the side window can be greatly complicated by a laminated glass (especially when it comes to minutes). Does Volvo develop a mechanism for this case? As in trains, for example, where the rubber joint can be pulled out all around the window. (The front or heel disk) What do you think? What is the relationship between the safety of the valuables and the evacuation of the occupants from the car?

It’s supposed to be a Chevy Pick Up! K30 or Blazer!?
Good day, everyone! I’m looking for a Chevy Pick Up and have found a few questions I didn’t answer at the search of the old threads. I hope I didn’t just miss out on it, so I also wanted to turn to your motor community. I dream of a V8 diesel Pick Up like the Blazer or the K30 with the 6.2 machine from the 80s. Since I have no experience in the area of US cars, forgive me any Patzer and I ask for clarification correction. The car should be used both as a truck in the home gardening business, as well as for the small car to scare away and cruise at the weekend. Is there the Blazer with a separated cabin and loading area? Is the loading area of the K30 larger than that of the Blazer?! Can anyone tell me the exact size of both? The loading area should be used both open and with roof. Is there the K30 with a hardtop? Are all hardtops of the Blazer models removable? Can you find in the area of 4000-8000 meter no need of a car? No thank you for having a good drink.

Resale V70 2.0D vs. 2.4D5
Hello Volvo municipality, would like to separate me from my S80 D5 and will buy me a V70 for it. I’m just not sure if it should be the D5, or alternatively the 2.0D with a hand switch. The 2 ,0 D is actually sufficient and for everyday operation completely i.o. Besides, it is under economic aspects of the secret tip when it comes to driving a V70. Where I’m not sure is at the resale. What do you think, if you want to sell the V70 again after 3 to 4 years, where is the loss of value less, with the small 2.0 d or with the D5?

CarImage All-wheel Compare XC60, GLK, X1
In the AutoBild Allrad no. 3 is a comparison X1 against GLK against XC60. The BMW (519 points) wins just before the Mercedes (514) and this just before the XC60 (509). Just the conclusion here: BMW + very agile driving impression + best driving performance + cheaper tax/insurance + low diesel consumption – very tight suspension – tight luggage compartment – engine vibrations in idle mode – average warranty performance Mercedes + proper suspension comfort + particularly comfortable entry/exit + high resale value + driving engine with a very powerful effect – high price – expensive comprehensive class – shorter maintenance intervals – expensive extras Volvo + largest luggage and rear compartment + most comfortable vehicle tuning + great ground clearance + maximum load – large turning circle – highest diesel consumption in the test – longer turbo delay – forecast higher value loss Based on this information, one can almost determine which car fits better to one, even if the information content of some statement is only accessible by reading the complete test Greet Martin

Installation “Ambiente lighting”
Moin together, maybe it’s a stupid idea: I would like to put an LED in the front ceiling light as “ambiente lighting”. How can I wire it so that it can either a) reach through the glare light switch or b) when the ignition is switched on. But I don’t want to dismantle the entire front interior covering to move 20 m of cable. So: Is there a possibility of wiring that takes place in the immediate vicinity of the ceiling light? Maybe someone has already tinkered with it and can describe to me which of the wires lying there I should connect with the lamp. Thanks already in advance!

DoubleDin in 850//alternatives
I thought that new appradio from pioneer would be the ideal alternative for my old sc 802 in t5r… but: pustekuchen. that part can only reflect contacts, photos and google maps from the iphone. so no real alternative, because pioneer does not manage to convince other app-providers of the concept.http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/AppRadio now I think about what I should install instead. how about a sc-805 from the v70/1? does it all fit? so also color? that seems to be a little more gruesome than my statement. but has at least cd.http://www.ebay.de/…/150656208324?… I would actually like to have a double-touchscreen. only the prices are annoying…for that I drive the good piece too little… how did you solve that? has someone an idea? or would like to get rid of something in the keller?

SC 900, radio defective
Hello moose driver, have never had Probs. with the SC 900 (V70 I, ́97) but now the radio, i.e. the station search run (scan) does not work anymore and it is not a single transmitter to receive. Cassette and CD play perfectly. It rushes in the boxes during radio operation. fuses, voltage supply etc. everything ok. Have already checked all plugs, power supply from and again jammed and SC 900 by means of CODE again activated – no change. Presumably that the radio receiver or antenna / antenna amplifier could be the cause. My wife spoke of wobble contact as it was running from time to time. How and what can I examine now, or does anyone else have any other ideas?

Brake problem
Hello guys, I have a problem with my 850s. When braking, the car is leaning to jerk on. The higher the speed the worse it gets. Have made braking attempts only with the handbrake->No jerking. So I changed the discs and legs in front, because I thought the had a blow, but unfortunately no improvement. Can there be something on the chassis in the bad and if so what? Thanks in advance scirocco_al
