  • Own import from Sweden

    Hello everyone, I would like to buy my new Volvo in Sweden and then drive and import to Germany. However, the question arises as to how the import is possible. I see the problem of the transfer in that one does not find any insurance in Germany for the Swedish export license plate. Or has someone already found one? As an alternative I had read here that one registers the vehicle in Germany normally and pays the import taxes with the sent vehicle documents from the Swedish dealer and the purchase contract. Then one takes the German number plates and can take the car from Sweden to Germany. However, on the sides of the authority is that the vehicle has to be presented in Germany. Has someone already experience and can explain how the procedure works safely?

  • XC90 turning circle annoys

    Hello! I’ve had an XC90 D5 for 2 weeks – all great – only the bigger turning circle compared to my previous car bugs me pretty much. With my last car I could always drive in the garage directly into the parking lot – now always have to push back. Since I usually drive from garage to garage it is annoying slowly. Is there any way to increase the steering impact?

  • ABS broken, no error codes

    Hello! I’m a proud owner of a 92′ 850. Unfortunately I already have problems, most of them relatively no matter, but my ABS doesn’t work anymore. When I start it, the ABS light goes off, the brake pedal makes a click. Also stays out until I brake strongly for the first time. It feels like it’s a little bit clean, but then it doesn’t do anything and the lamp lights up. I’ve already measured the sensors. One at 950, all other at 1000-1100 Ohm. The diagnostics LED (on 3 A) just lights up, the button doesn’t do anything, I don’t come any further. I’ve read that the control unit should be soldered properly, too, now doesn’t know any more…. I hope you can help here.

  • V40 1.9 d Purchase advice

    Hello dear V40 municipality, wanted to ask you what you think of the offer of an acquaintance. Volvo V40 1.9 D 85 KW Year of manufacture 04/2003 85000 km X-Sight + Comfort Edition Checkbook maintained (dental belts, brake lines renewed at 81000 km) Accident-free (is credible since I know the person who is the victim well) 8 times matured (as good as new) Garage vehicle however Renter vehicle –> Short distance Condition in my opinion: Tip Top maintained, but some minor paint damage to the metal (about 1 year old) but no rust available yet. Presence 3000 slats Is this a fair offer? Have no experience with Volvo and Diesel. Will inevitably have to retrofit a DPF + pre-cat to get the green plaque.

  • Consumption of your moose

    Hello, would like to know what you are using with your elks, depending on the driving style, route profile and what you are traveling with, performance and what model is V40 or S40.

  • Engine control lamp

    Hello V40-community, after it burned about 2 weeks times for a day but is extinguished again, now for 3 days permanently the engine control light of my V40 1.8 from 2001. The car behaves largely inconspicuously, only in the cold run the car jerks back and forth discreetly. If it is warm, it runs perfectly. My question: Can the quite old spark plugs be the trigger for the motor control light? Let it be read out is probably the most meaningful step, or what do you mean?

  • Turbo whistles from 4500U/min + engine stutters

    Hello, I’m new here and I would like to introduce myself briefly, my name is Christoph is 21 years old and from Austria.. I bought a Volvo 850 T5 last year was quite happy with the vehicle until after about 8000km one of the Pleullager failed, well then I put the engine and the turbo again and sealed off.. At the beginning everything was good and after about 3000km I wanted to try the turbo and quickly noticed that he did not build a charging pressure, then made the py-pass membrane new and washed out all the underpressure lines and the charging pressure control valve with cold reamer, the first 100km was all perfekt until then short from 4500 rpm a whistle was heard and the engine stuttered, ignition shut out immediately from the there is all new up to ignition cable and ignition module, error code was also negative. My thought out are the charging pressure hoses could cause the problem..

  • Please help if possible

    Hi there, now with the replacement of my defective engine I have problems with the running culture. In order to contain all contingencies immediately. With the replacement of the engine at the same time, the alternator, timing belts, water pump, clutch incl. 2-mass swing wheel, 3 of 5 ignition coils and the air mass meter like all spark plugs ( original Volvo for turbo engine ) were replaced. Both lamda probes were also replaced. Now to the final end, the elk runs like a sack of nuts. At constant speeds ( 1800 – 2000 rpm ) it jerks with soot output on the exhaust. But the pull-through force is there, with slight jerks in between connected, the fuel consumption is also significantly increased. In the state it can not hold the 900U/min and falls to 400-500 rpm, with ignition dropouts and again Rußausflussung on the exhaust.
