  • Is my Volvo still worth it?

    Hello, my old good loyal Volvo 850 is not so good together anymore. TÜV would have become too expensive for us. That’s why we bought a new car and want to “lose” the Volvo now. The basic data: Built. 95 Volvo 850 Combi 2.2 liter gasoline 225,000 km HU/AU just expired Condition: Outside already quite used up. Some rust spots. Inside still ok but also clearly used. To get through the TÜV we would have to plug in approx. Euro 1,500,- on wear parts (mainly joints and suspension). In addition, the front wheel has a thick crack since last week (approx. 20cm). In addition, it blows out quite violently in the back (for longer). Where would you put the value of the car?

  • My BC lies about consumption like Münchhausen

    Hello, dears, actually the consumption of my Phaeton is a whirlwind.Did I know what I bought there, namely a beautiful, heavy car with proper steam under the boiler. Unfortunately a lot of city, sene home is without a doubt the AB( man, is the P. there a force…!). But sometimes I am a cumin knetter(is the expression familiar?) and annoy me about small things, like e.g. about my BC with the consumption data. From the beginning, therefore for a good five months, the BC always shows a between 10 and 15% lower consumption, than when refueling actually “gets in”.Difference was also sometimes against 20%. In winter I still had understanding. Stand and seat heating more often on, the BC can not really measure. The BC of our Audis, respectively.now Cross Polo of my Holden, have the consumption always up to 0.2 to max. 0.4 liters, or in other words with a deviation clearly below 5%. Also in winter! Does anyone of you have an idea why I can’t give in this regard to the consumption of b.

  • V8 Ruby red: tomorrow eats so far!

    I just spoke to my dealer on the phone: the ruby red jewel is on the yard and will be admitted tomorrow morning – 3 p.m. to pick up! After I only know the color of photos and didn’t see a single XC90 in this chic color on the streets, I’m curious what it looks like in the original. And let’s see if I discover anything special at MY 2006… oh, so many questions How many hours are it again until 3 p.m. tomorrow? *drums with my fingers on the desk plate* Happy greetings, Patrick

  • Clamping roller of the injection pump defective, 2.5 TDI

    Servus people, And I have recently purchased a V70 with the 2.5 liter TDI engine. Was up to now also very satisfied with it. However, I stayed already 3 weeks ago 300 km from home. The engine went off and after about 5 min again, however with a huge smoke cloud, before he finally failed. Was then towed off and drove at night by train to home and could therefore not look at it exactly. The contract workshop that I got there has now changed for 350 Euronen the diesel filter to realize then that it is probably because the tensioning roller of the injection pump is defective. However, I have the nose now a little full of these monkeys. And since I am a relatively poor student, who loves this car, I would like to keep it in mind. Well to the question, is the repair itself, so the change of the tension pulley and the belt for the pump must still be done again? Have already changed the tooth strap from my golf 3 and that is also very good. I have to remember that the spanning picture is done on Sunday? And then the last thing to do.

  • C30 problem?!? increasing consumption

    Hello first of all, here some data about the car: It is a C30 2.0 is 3 years old in February and was bought by me at the beginning of November with 42000km. In November I heard already a funny noise, could not assign it and did not know if it is normal. It comes from the engine compartment at the front left , if you stand directly in front of the car. Can it unfortunately not describe perhaps a little mechanical, in any case the dishwasher has become louder since we have minus degrees. For 3-4 days the consumption has risen when driving, it is now at 35-45 L. act. / consumption. Is this normal? I had considered if it might be due to the spark plugs, which have not been changed according to the service booklet.

  • Lupo errors P0301 and P0404

    Good morning, I bought a cheap VW Lupo AUC 1.0 for my son. Running power 145000 Year 2001 I have a few questions about this, and hope for help here in the forum. I write under the errors times my further procedure, should someone have improvement here, I am grateful for every tip. Error 1 Engine control light flashes in the stationary gas engine runs restlessly No performance when acceleration error read out P0301 Further procedure spark plugs, as well as ignition control kit renew. Throttle valve was provided with cokes, this I have upgraded and completely cleaned. Error 2 The seller told me that half a year ago the AGR was exchanged. This was done by a Free Workshop. AGR also looks new. Despite all the driving the motor control light permanently illuminates. Error P0404 Further procedure here I am honestly quite standing at a new AGR on the hose. Can the error P0404 AGR from the first error be caused by false exhaust emissions values?

  • Volvo 850: Engine temperature rises in traffic jam

    You loved ones I have been on the highway today with my Gustav (Bj. 96, 300′ km, 126hp 10V Automat). In traffic jam the engine temperature went up at once, from 3 o’clock to about 1:30 o’clock. From this point on the cooler used (or what I think it is), which makes the temperature again at 3 o’clock. This is so in 5min clock. When driving free then without problems, even no other topics, in the workshop recently no faults in the store. Problem I had already in November (also traffic jam). In April (also traffic jam) was funnyly nothing. Do I have to worry about it? Can I drive for a while?

  • OBD Bluetooth plug with app. Which one?

    Hello together! In some Freds you could read that some of you have an OBD2 plug in the car to read out vehicle data via the app. E.g. water and oil temperature, regeneration cycle etc., But of course also to read out the error memory. I would like to add something like that. After a bit of research in the net I came across Carly or Pace. But there are also independent plugs, which then work with some app. At Carly and Bimmerlink have read that a lot can be done especially with BMW and VAG. What do you use this kind of data? Which live data can be displayed at Volvo and can be made with it also settings that you could not do otherwise? Thank you for your tips and recommendations! VG, Timo

  • PowerPulse D5: “Emission scent” in the interior, hissing at the front left

    In the meantime, it had several times the problem that it smelled like (diesel) exhaust in closed windows in the interior. On faster sections it does not occur, but often: – after engine start – on slow sections – on gradients. Have already experienced this in different places, so construction machine exhaust can exclude etc.. Independently of me this was also criticized on the passenger side… Maybe there is a connection here to my different exhaust pipes: left inside normal black, right inside virginally new. Does anyone have an idea? Thank you in advance.
