  • Additional heating smokes

    My V50 2.0 D has already squirted 2 times like stupid. The first time I had driven a road track of about 60 km behind me. After that it started to smoke in the engine room. I thought that the car torched me. I called Volvo and they sent someone from the ADAC. He noticed that nothing was missing, but that the diesel additional heating just sometimes smokes when it had around 4 degrees +. His ADAC service car would have. Today I have brought a 40 km highway ride and then 10 km of road behind me. After that the same again. Today’s temperature again 4 degrees. So I don’t think it’s normal. Do you have similar experiences?

  • Help, I can’t decide

    Good evening. I have the following problem and need good advice. I am currently facing a choice and really don’t know what to do. I’m currently driving a 318d. I drive between 18 and 22000 km per year. My Bmw currently has 140000 km on the clock (1400 euros insurance and tax per year). A smaller damage at the front right (nebula headlights broke out.) Now I’m facing the choice between a reimport of a Volvo c30 t5 (230 ps, 1000 euros insurance & tax). With the extra charge what I have to pay I agree. But now I’m quite unsure what to do. I know it’s my beer, but I ask now what you would do in the round? Would that be a good choice? Or would you have concerns about buying the Volvo?. Greetings.

  • Question of faith Wool or not wool

    Moin, I’m about to buy a used V90 CC. At the moment I have 2 offers (both diesel from 2019 and 2021 with 190hp) in mind, which I consider. Both are about 60k down and should cost 40k at the Volvo dealer. The one with wool seats and somewhat more spartan equipped. After all, he has the better sound system. The other (from 2019) with leather seats including heating/ventilation/massage. I find the wool seats visually very chic. I know from another thread here that the relatively durable should be…and also with child can be considered. Our child just turned 4 years old. I wanted to hear here again some opinions from experienced Volvo drivers: then maybe a little easier to decide. Also to diesel or not diesel and weaknesses of the V90CC. Always with it. Thanks already Kristofer

  • Extensions V 90 CC MJ 2023

    Hello together, I’m new to Volvo and I’m relatively spontaneous at the V90 CC. A D5 of 11/2023. Now to my actual question: Is it normal that the plastic spreaders have air to the body? For my feeling these have to be completely attached. Car wads twice at the dealer. Once nothing happened, and now it is a little normal. Tomorrow I am there to clear that.The parts are probably only glued?!? and I have the assumption that the car with labeling as advertising carrier was on the yard, when the stickers of the hot air dryer was removed a weing too long there and has solved the glue. I have not found any other to compare. Would be nice if someone could help. Pictures are attached. Thanks

  • V70 I AWD Performance problems

    Hello! I’m new here and looking for a long time I didn’t find any suitable ones, maybe you can help me BITTE! I have a V70I Awd 193Ps bj 97 but it was converted to normal due to defective angle gear, the previous owner had the chip of a V70 T5 inserted and changed the turbo since I had it he has the following problem: when it runs cold he jerks and takes hardly gas, and when it is warm and I push the pedal he pulls through and does not want to get on tour so properly, it seems almost as if he would not want the area where he doesn’t want to because at about 4,5t he catches himself again and then gives it really material but also not always it is really sporadic. Tubes are all, I have tried already with a sports air filter the problem was still there but it comes to me as if a little better. There are new Z.kabel and kerzen as well as it is not always sporadic. Tubes are all, I don’t want to use it again?

  • Engine noise

    Hello, since the last time I was helped so quickly, after I finally uploaded photos of the component in question, here is a question with media support: What has my engine been doing for a short time for a noise that it probably should not do? Below you will find an audio file with the noise. The engine is a B5252FS. The noise comes sometimes, then it is also gone, without seeing a reason. It is obviously not related to the engine temperature. Yesterday morning it came right after the start, i.e. with cold engine, before that it was there after the departure from the highway, so with warm engine. From a speed of about 70 km/h the noise is too quiet, i.e. I usually don’t get along when it appears … Many greetings Jochen

  • Buy Volvo V70 Cross Country?

    Good morning together My wife and I, are just looking for a 2nd car, to our V70II 2.4 / Bj 2003 (ca. 170`000 km) The 2nd should definitely have four-wheel drive, since we are now moving to an area, where there is still a little more snow in the winter. Now I had looked at the WE. already 2 Audis an A6 and an A4 quatrro (in the same price range). The two were very peppered but the spark is not quite skipped. The A4 was then inside us a little too tight. The A6 Avant was then a chic car but then not individual enough, it just drive around so much. Since we are very happy with our elk, we bought it with about 100`000 km and except for inspections and new brakes there was really nothing at all. Now we have found the following offer on the net and I wanted to hear your opinion about the offers:http://www.autoscout24.de/detail.aspx… or the one here at the top of the list?

  • Engine control light, Kat broken or not ??

    good day,I’ve been driving a V6 3.2 Phaeton bj 10/2003 with 110 tsd km the vehicle has full equipment and I’m thrilled! I bought it privately for only 8000,- € with the defect that the pre-kat is broken and board battery needs to be replaced… after visiting and driving it was clear that the kat can not be broken, since there is no clapping to hear and no loss of performance…and kats usually do not break. AU/HU to May 2013 get with defective ?! after 6 weeks after the purchase the engine control light went off by itself and since yesterday the lights up again, maybe the lamba probes ?? and my tire pressure control does not work,if I turn it on it and stands system malfunction maybe someone can help me mfg tamer

  • Decent retouching at Phaeton

    Hello everyone, this weekend I started to change a few very small things on my Phaeton which have always disturbed me somehow. And I changed the fog lights with your, especially in contrast to the xenon, very unsightly yellow halogen light with a slightly whiter version. Time: 1. page 45 minutes, since I did not know how to get the front parts of the plastic covers, 2. page: 10 minutes result: only minimal yellow coloration in contrast to the xenon, light yield absolutely identical to previous halogen lamps. Pictures still follow if desired Further projects: -Replacement of the stand light bulb for whiter version in the context of the upcoming change of the xenon burners due to flickering -Chrom bars of the front shock bar around the NSW of the model 2008+, because simply looks very good -cleaning inside + conservation of the leather -Exter cleaning + nanosealing -Error removal (s. other thread) capdoc
