  2. Achizitie Volvo S40

    La banii aia nici dracu nu iti vine un S40 din 2009 intreg cu km reali care avut grija de masina ca la carte.
  3. Intrebari XC60

    Ehee, Evoque... pe langa faptul ca masina nu e cine stie ce este absolut praf la fiabilitate. Am o cunostinta care detine asa ceva, 2.0T. De cand a luat-o masina sta mai mult in service, probleme grave rau, cutia care schimba aiurea, consuma enorm, odata la drum lung i-a murit toata electronica din bord, totul s-a stins si a mers omul fara clima, audio, instrumente si asta noaptea, o camera s-a defectat si service-ul s-a cacait o gramada pana a schimbat-o. Asa ca evoque... o fi el frumusel dar cam atat.
  4. Dupa ce am laudat o ca mai tine si cu casa, in ultima saptamana a avut grija sa nu o mai intereseze cat mananca, ce dracu doar vine craciunul. 18.1% urban...
  5. Detin permisul din 2006, km pana acum, aprox 300.000 km plus vreo 6 ani de karting + alte sporturi cu motor. Cu Volvoul pana acum am aprox 25000 km.
  6. topic la biiiiiiizzzzzzzzzzzzaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

    @Iuli: Ehee tu te plangi ca masinile sunt prea complicate in situatia in care la volvo si la rs mai ai o directie care iti transmit un feedback in volan, mai schimbi o treapta de viteza, apesi cu ceva forta ambreiajul ala... masinile 2013+ sunt total 0 la acest capitol. Tocmai ce m-am dat cu noul Leon Fr. Parca ma jucam pe xbox cu volanul. 0 feedback, directia o gluma, ambreiajul parca nu era conectat la nimic se apasa cu un deget etc.
  7. Cauciucuri Iarna

    Gume proaste pe spate supravireaza, gume proasta pe fata subvireaza, same shit. Desi eu personal prefer supravirarea... Mai poti face ceva mai ales daca ai tractiune fata. Daca incepe sa subvireze, sanatate, santul e al tau (asta in cel mai bun caz)
  8. Yup, daca vreti schimb de ulei la cutie mergeti la Bogdan, operatiune facuta cu succes, cutia merge brici! Si e asa cum spune Bogdan se poate scoate tot uleiul fara sa ridici masina pe elevator.
  9. Cauciucuri Iarna

    Nici eu nu recomand Dunlop desi am fost fan al acestei marci. Prima experienta nasoala a venit acum doua ierni cand aveam Skoda Octavia 2 si am pus pe ea winter sport m3 noi noute... cum a zis si un coleg mai sus... praf. In afara de faptul ca erau rezon dpdv al zgomotului am ramas cu ea in zapada de o gramada de ori. Anvelopele de vara (Sp sport 01) la fel foarte bune ca aderenta insa se uzeaza incredibil de repede si dupa doi ani la masina parintilor mei sunt pline de crapaturi. La polul opus am avut experienta extrem de placuta cu Continental TS810, iarna trecuta nu am ramas absolut deloc pe nicaieri si masina nu s-a chinuit deloc sa "mearga" prin zapada. Le-am dat insa deoarece anul asta am cumparat jante de tabla pe 16" ca sa pastrez cat mai intregi jantele de aliaj. Acum am optat pentru Michelin Alpin a4, pana acum cat a fost uscat toate bune si frumoase, sunt silentioase, aderenta rezon. Asteptam zapada
  10. VIDA online doar pentru membrii Volvo-Club

    Te inteleg ca e de durata, scuze ca ti-am pocit numele mai sus, deh abia ma trezisezm ) Corectat!
  11. VIDA online doar pentru membrii Volvo-Club

    Ce ai mai reusit sa faci Robeto cu vida online?
  12. Nici s40 II nu are si ar fi fost tare bun deoarece pe D nu prea stie de frana de motor.
  13. Poze haioase

    Nope, stopurile sunt schimbate de propietar. Masina este 97 deoarece a treia lampa de frana este trapezoidala fata de cel cu facelift (2000-2002) unde este dreptunghiulara, iar bara spate are insertiile de aluminiu usor diferite fata de cel cu facelift, de asemenea la modelul facelift E50 amg a devenit E55 amg si a mai castigat niste caluti.
  14. Poze haioase

    Esti sigur ca i-ai aratat ce inseamna 105 cp? Eu cred ca propietarul cauta un post de radio sau scapase ceva prin masina, nu de alta dar masina din poza ta chiar pare un E50 AMG autentic, an de fabricatie 97 iar un v8 de 350 de cp e un... v8.
  15. Chiptuning sau remapare ?

    Da, la Primus auto, apelezi la o harta facuta de Polestar si ai garantie. DIstractia costa undeva la aprox 1000 de euro.
  16. @Bogdan dar avertizarea de centuri spate se poate activa? La mine nu zice nimic de centurile spate
  17. Motoare noi Volvo

    De regula nu lantul este cel care cedeaza ci patinele sau intinzatorul, ex: patinele de la noul motor reno 0,9 tce sunt o gluma proasta.
  18. Din pacate a fost donata unui alt coleg de pe forum. Numai bine
  19. Baterie descarcata

    Eu stiam ca si la P1 bateria trebuie pusa cu contactul pe 2.
  20. Donez si eu o oglinda de interior originala compatibila cu toate Volvo urile p1 c30/s40/v50/c70. Cine o vrea poate sa ma contacteze pe PM
  21. Sfaturi Volvo S40

    Pai e simplu, arunca si tu un ochi pe siteu-rile de sh din DE si iti poti face o idee de preturi. D4 e rar ca dracu iar D3 asa la prima vedere unul ok incepe de pe la vreo 13.000 de euro. Bogdan avea o vorba care e foarte adevarata: un Volvo bun costa.
  22. Sfaturi Volvo S40

    In banii aia sansele sa gasesti un d3 sau d4 sunt aproape 0, doar 1.6d.
  23. Volvo Coupe Concept

    In seara asta au fost publicate primele fotografii cu conceptul de la Volvo care va fi prezentata la salonul auto de la Frankfurt. Mie personal mi se pare superb, aduce ceva din celebrul p1800 si daca asta e noua linie de design a viitoarelor modele viitorul nu poate sa sune decat excelent. nspired by contemporary, progressive Scandinavian lifestyle and design, as well as iconic elements from the past, the elegant new Volvo Coupé Concept is the first of a series of three concept cars that reveal the design possibilities created by the company's new Scalable Product Architecture (SPA). After more than a year of rising expectations, the first design by the new Senior Vice President of Design, Thomas Ingenlath, showcases how design builds emotion into the Volvo brand and points towards the next generation of Volvo models, starting with the forthcoming XC90 in 2014. "The Volvo Coupé Concept is no futuristic dream car. It is designed to demonstrate the capability of our new architecture: the confident stance, the proportions and the most prominent design signatures. Even though the all-new XC90 is an entirely different type of car, you will recognise the connection instantly when it is revealed next year," says Thomas Ingenlath. Developed in-house for Volvo Cars only, the Scalable Product Architecture liberates Volvo's designers and engineers from the limitations of previous cross-brand platforms. "The new Volvo Coupé Concept reveals how we could shape our cars from now on. Free from the superficial surface excitement of other car brands, we add emotional value to the Volvo brand with the calm, confident beauty that is the hallmark of Scandinavian design," says Thomas Ingenlath. Powerful visual impact The visual impact of the new proportions is most powerful when viewing the Volvo Coupé Concept from the side. The distance between the dashboard and the front axle is extended and the greenhouse has been moved slightly rearwards. A low bonnet, roof, and the five-spoke, 21-inch wheels also contribute to the impression of an elegant Gran Tourer oozing effortless power. The confident stance is emphasised by a beltline that spans an elegant bow along the whole car. "Think about the powerful calmness of a lion. He doesn't have to prowl to radiate respect. Even lying down he shows very clearly what he is capable of," smiles Thomas Ingenlath. New T-shaped DRL lights The face of the Volvo Coupé Concept is characterised by a new topography on the bonnet and the 'floating' grille, flanked by headlights featuring new T-shaped DRL light guides. Just like the rear light signature, the DRL lights are distinctive elements in the new design direction of Volvo Cars. "The face is new, but it also carries more than 85 years of Volvo heritage with great pride. We are still working with the final interpretation of the grille and the iron mark and this will be revealed together with the XC90 next year," says Thomas Ingenlath. Echoes the iconic P1800 The Coupé Concept also features elements that echo the design of the Volvo P1800 from the 1960s. "It is a car designer's duty to reflect and incorporate design signatures that are vital parts of the company's heritage. The P1800 is an iconic Volvo, renowned for its beautiful forms and detailing. However, using elements from the P1800 exterior and interior has nothing to do with being retro. We are using these subtle links to a glorious past to create a future where sheer beauty becomes a recognised part of Volvo's identity. That journey starts with Coupé Concept," says Thomas Ingenlath. Sparkling crystal gear-lever The blue-grey exterior is echoed on the inside of the Volvo Coupé Concept. Refined, handcrafted elements such as the leather instrument panel, inlays made of naturally aged wood and the dark blue woven carpets are blended with beautifully machined metal details." "To me, handcrafted crystal is one of the finest examples of high-quality Scandinavian design and I love the idea of bringing it into the car. The prominent position of the gear-lever is the perfect place for this sparkling sensation," says Robin Page, Design Director Interior at Volvo Car Group. He adds: "The experience inside Coupé Concept is an excellent example of how we will make Volvo customers feel truly special." Large portrait touch-screen The concept car also includes a totally new approach to Volvo Cars' human-centric user experience. A large portrait touch-screen in the centre console interacts with an adaptive digital display and head-up display in front of the driver. "This is a natural integration of user interfaces in our new car generation. Interaction with pleasure but without distraction is the key. We bring connectivity into our cars to make them both more enjoyable and safe," explains Thomas Ingenlath. The Scalable Product Architecture is also being prepared for completely autonomous driving. The first features with autonomous steering to avoid accidents and make driving more comfortable will be introduced in 2014 - and Volvo Cars' aim is to have cars with fully autonomous technology out on the roads before 2020. Petrol plug-in hybrid - powerful and efficient The petrol plug-in hybrid driveline in the Volvo Coupé Concept reflects Volvo Cars' strategy to use electrification to create the most powerful versions in the new four-cylinder Drive-E engine family. This will take power figures up into V8 territory. The concept car features a two-litre high-performance Drive-E petrol engine with a supercharger and turbo. The petrol engine is teamed with an electric motor on the rear axle. This gives Volvo Coupé Concept a total output of around 400 hp and over 600 Nm of torque. The design direction of Thomas Ingenlath: Releasing the full potential of the Volvo brand The work of Thomas Ingenlath has been one of the best-kept secrets in the automotive industry for over a year. Until now. "Volvo Cars was already transforming rapidly when I joined the company in 2012. My team and I have focused on creating a new interpretation of the design language. It will help taking this great brand in the desired direction," says Thomas Ingenlath. This is how Thomas Ingenlath expresses the new design direction for Volvo Cars. Why Volvo Cars? "Everyone that knows me well would agree that Volvo is a perfect match for me. I have never been an instant crowd-pleaser who likes fast and loud designs. I am thoughtful. I like to explore the intellectual elements below the surface. If you do that right, the aesthetics will come naturally." "Volvo is a human-centric brand with an exceptionally strong heritage. It is exciting to create a new design expression that supports the established brand values as well as the repositioning towards a more distinctive premium brand." What's your view of Scandinavian Design? "Well, since Volvo Cars is the only remaining automotive brand in Sweden, we are by definition the only carmaker that can create original Scandinavian Design. The challenge is to create a modern, desirable interpretation." "To me, Scandinavian Design according to Volvo is firmly rooted in the values of the Swedish society and the way of life enabled by this unique environment. Our approach goes beyond just bringing Scandinavian design items and signatures into our cars. Our job is to understand the spirit and the confidence that make Scandinavian design so special. Then we must translate it into car design." What is your approach? "It is important to recognise that Scandinavian design will only be perceived as attractive if it is crafted with precision and attention to detail. Meticulous execution and consistent quality are prerequisites to qualify for the premium league of automakers." Explain the new design direction. "In my opinion, Volvo design has always had a certain authority. We aim to extend this calm, intelligent and strong side of our brand with a greater potency, modernity and expressiveness. Coupé Concept clearly expresses this direction." "Outdoor activities are an important part of the Swedish lifestyle. We will continue to refine Volvo's strong connection to these activities with more emphasis on modernity. It's about making functionality an emotional experience. Just like an exclusive goose down jacket, our cars will have a true feeling of sophistication with an underlying strength and capability." "Creativity is thriving in the Swedish society. This includes design and technology as well as the fashion, music and art scene. We use this as an inspiration for creating a new kind of attainable luxury. Our future cars will show that there are new, exciting ways to express the soul of Sweden." What opportunities does the new Scalable Product Architecture create for the designers? "The new architecture enables us to create the great proportions that are important to achieve a premium look. The dash to axle ratio is more generous than any other architecture I have worked with before. This gives us the opportunity to be up there among the top premium brands when it comes to proportions." "The hip point is another example of the new opportunities. It is low enough to create a low profile on a sleek sedan without compromising headroom." Which are the most the most prominent new design signatures? "Every strong brand needs a set of visual keys that makes it unique. Future Volvos will be characterised by the distinctive iron mark in the floating grille, flanked by the T-shaped DRL lights. The larger bonnet with its new topography, the beltline spanning an elegant bow along the whole car and the sharpened shoulder connecting with the new rear light are other important design signatures. They all contribute to the confident stance. The overall simplicity, both exterior and interior, has a strong connection to the Scandinavian lifestyle." How about the interiors? "We will continue to build on the premium feel in the new Volvo V40. The new user interface with a large, portrait touch-screen in the centre console allows us to remove almost all buttons. This simplicity is perfectly in tune with our Scandinavian design heritage. It opens up clean surfaces that give us the opportunity to create a luxurious interior experience with new forms." "We will deliver on our brand promise to make Volvo customers feel special by blending classic handcrafted elements with distinctive, surprising delight details." New design direction injects emotion into Volvo's transformation journey The Volvo Coupé Concept is the first expressive interpretation of a new brand direction where design has an elevated strategic importance to deliver more emotion into the Volvo brand. "Our transformation plan includes a commitment to create a more premium vision of Volvo Cars. Releasing the emotional power of our human-centric design heritage is one of the key elements in this strategy," says Alain Visser, Senior Vice President Marketing, Sales and Customer Service at Volvo Car Group. He adds: "A more premium image is vital to gain momentum in our journey towards an annual sales volume of 800,000 cars. It also supports our price position versus our main competitors in the premium segments." Building on recent success The introduction of the Volvo V40 in 2012 was the first step in this direction. The positive media and customer feedback emphasises that Volvo Cars is running with the best in several important areas, including design. The upcoming introduction of the new scalable architecture enables the company to accelerate the transformation. The Volvo Coupé Concept is the first of a series of three concept cars that demonstrate the design possibilities created by the new Scalable Product Architecture (SPA). They pave the way for the introduction of the all-new Volvo XC90 in 2014. Technology as an enabler for emotion The new in-house developed architecture and engine programme are the enablers for a stronger emotional expression of the brand, both when it comes to the exterior design and a new approach to the interior, user interface and connectivity. "Volvo's unique human-centric approach and the aim to inject more emotions into car design are perfect partners. Volvo Cars' caring, human-centric values are an integrated part of the Scandinavian culture and lifestyle. The challenge is to express this with a bolder, more distinctive design that is an all-important customer criteria for premium cars," says Thomas Ingenlath. Design creates premium desirability Truly premium brands are based on a complex mix of rational, qualitative parameters and strong emotional values that create desirability - and there are several examples of brands that have moved from mainstream to premium through a stronger focus on design. "Case studies of brands that have made a similar journey to ours give us valuable input into the mechanisms that trigger the consumer's perception of premium. This, together with our own studies of people's views of Volvo Cars, becomes a valuable base for our design development," says Alain Visser. Rational properties with added emotional value The emotional aspect is also important when shaping the future of properties that are established Volvo territory among consumers: Focus on safety has moved from offering protection in worst-case scenarios to creating features that support the driver and enhance the user experience. Modern environmental care is able to combine low emissions and reduced fuel consumption with an enhanced driving experience - for instance through ingenious plug-in hybrid technology. The classic functionality has moved beyond being practical. Volvo Cars' approach is to create human-centric features that actually make today's hectic life easier for the user. "Reliable functionality has always been a no compromise prerequisite for Scandinavian designers. Up here, designs have to deal with a harsh reality that demands meticulous attention to detail and quality," says Thomas Ingenlath. He concludes: "Combining this with a distinctive design language that is inspired by this unique Scandinavian environment will give us a competitive edge that none of our competitors can match. You could say that we will continue to do what Volvo always has done. We will just do it much better and make it much more emotional." Netcarshow.com
