  • Tips on Buying Used

    Hello, we are about to decide to buy a V50, the engine selection falls on a 2.4 liter either 140 or 170 hp. My question is, what should I pay attention to during the inspection? Are there weak points that should be considered with an “extra” look at the V50? Of course, the checkbook has to be complete and comprehensible for me. What does it look like with the engine mileage? Driving on average about 40-50 km per day therefore no short distance. find another nice evening or a good night 😉 Sebastian

  • Small parts disappear under the seats

    Hello! I’ve had an XC60 since May. I’ve often fallen small parts next to the seat. At today’s cleaning of the car a part of the car has rolled under the seat. There is a nozzle of the air conditioning. The part rolled towards the nozzle and disappeared into the ground. This black nozzle could be pulled off and the floor covering lifted up. Underneath unfortunately there was no flat area, but a nested labyrinth. How do you prevent small parts from rolling there? How do you get there? Do you get them out of there?

  • Reliability V60 2

    Hello together, I ask you for a rough assessment of the reliability or defect susceptibility of the V60 2. Why this rather general question? Drive a V 60 with which I am extremely satisfied since 2017. No unplanned workshop stays until now, where he needs a new AGR valve. At almost 250 TSD Km I find that completely ok. Probably next year, as everything goes well, he will reach his 300000 KM. Slowly I think about a new purchase. It is true to say A used V60 diesel again and reliability is especially important for me. Don’t want to be in the workshop at all (such as our fleets VWs…) Unfortunately, I have the impression that modern cars have become much more prone to defects, is this also true for Volvo? Of course, I’ve already read something, but your compressed opinion would be important to me. Thank you and greeting Lowend05

  • XC60 charge, Hybrid mode – Burner

    Hello together, have a charge mod.2024. Runs since 11.23 (today 11.000km) For about 3 months the combustion engine is often switched on in hybrid mode. Driving white very defensive. This only happens when I stop, bring the car to a standstill. Not always but more often. Then the petrol engine runs for kanpp 1km, then it goes again with electricity. (accumulator always sufficient). Does anyone know this problem? Thanks and greetings

  • Sym Fiddle 3 50ccm disturbed full gas behaviour

    I have been driving a new Fiddle III 4Tacter with Euro 4 for over 400 km now. It ran to Tacho 45, which according to Navi were real 44km/h. During the first 300 maintenance I had a 2mm steel throttle ring used instead of the original 3.6mm (comic dimension) plastic throttle ring. Now I have Tacho 50 and am completely satisfied with the speed, especially since I flow significantly better in the city traffic… For a little more passage 8mm weights were added instead of the original 5.9mm ?… The seller and also a mechanic explained to me… Now the previous full throttle was 45km/h without any problems or jerking. The now 50km/h are like that, which if someone holds me from behind and at the same moment let go again! This is the way in 1-2 seconds clock. Now I have to let go with the 50 with the gas, which I then again on 49, 48 … back fall, and then give again 1-2mm more gas, then either have a harmonious ride for a short time, until it starts again…with the jerking. Before I took back a bit at 45 the gas tap, about 2/3 to 3/4. but also had no jerking and thus a comfortable full gas attitude. Are you aware of the reasons and you can turn off the jerk at full gas mechanically or differently or I have to wow myself at it. My seller probably knows no solution except that I do not d he is the first in the Euro 4 models. Is there a sensor in there, which now grabs when a certain speed is exceeded.

  • Police control over and over again…

    Hello together, I’ve been stopped over and over again lately. Actually, it’s funny, because it’s kind of funny for me. But every night, the same thing? What bothers me is that you’re always asked what kind of job you have that you’re always on the road around the time and if I would do an alcohol test. In addition to that, it’s always the same police officers and I still have to blow into the tester every day (feeling, honestly the 6th time). I feel bothered, since they don’t even ask for any papers anymore, but still always… Why are they still on the road so late and they drank something… their eyes are so red… (I’m tired and just want to go home quickly) oh yes, we already know them… They always come by here. Why don’t they wave through them then…? Do they have nothing better to do than always wait at the place? Slowly I have to bite my tongue, dam I don’t answer sarcastically or with jokes on their sayings. If that goes on like this… can you do something?

  • Piaggio TPH 50 loses speed

    Hi! I bought a TPH the other day, used 22.800km, built in 2003… I did a test drive, about 15 min, everything went without problems. That was about 3 months ago. It hasn’t been running properly for 2 months. If I turn it on, it starts immediately and so on, but as soon as I give a short gas the speed drops extremely, just so it doesn’t go out. It takes about 20 seconds, then it comes back to speed and I can drive normally for about 1 minute. Then the game goes from new It loses its speed at full throttle and doesn’t pull anymore. I have to stop at the edge and wait again for a short time, then it goes on for a short while. So much for the problem. I have already cleaned the carburettor, it actually gets enough fuel, oil is in it, oil pump works. The previous owner has attached a Technitas Silent Pro and a Naraku air filter mat. It is a 52 HD(Dellorto 17.5 mm carburettor). I have no idea about scooters except for n pair of Youtube videos. and so everything is no problem so I will not go to a workshop to spend unnecessarily a lot of money. Does anyone have suggestions for solutions? Would be very grateful. LG Sammy

  • kymco super 9 lc does not start

    Hello I bought a super 9 that was only standing for 7 years. Of course it doesn’t start now, I cleaned the tank, carburetor and suction nozzle. I got a spark of ignition. I resealed the cylinder. I thought it was due to a kind of cdi that was installed. I took a picture once maybe someone of you knows what that is and if that’s the problem. if you need more details just say am new here and hope you can help me.

  • Parkrempler with hit-and-run

    When we went back to the car, a construction worker on the other side of the road pointed out to me that just a woman in a sky-blue small car (from the license plate he only saw the place) hit my car while parked and then drove fast on. The rear bumper is pretty scratched and in the sheet metal is about 20 cm long and 2 cm deep scratch as well as some scratching. r. In addition, the paint is peeled off at one point. Actually, the thing is clear, driver’s escape! But: I parked at the station on a disabled parking lot (the woman was also standing on a disabled parking lot) and the parking space was very tight. So not mirror to mirror, but so that my buddy had some problems getting off. I think that I will look around the parking lot a little bit the next days, if I can find the car. Now I know from he is not to make an advertisement under the given circumstances (disabled parking, narrow gap) at all. What can I get? Do you have experiences? What would you do?
