  • VW Lupo – Problems with locks – Exchange?

    The lock from the tailgate is defective, it doesn’t turn and so I want to expand it and see why it clamps and replaces it if necessary. As far as I’ve made myself smart so far, there are a few handles on the back of the tailgate in the pole that are to be completed. Of course, first dismantle the panel and then the mechanics become visible. There are connections that have to be hung out and above all pull off the handle that holds the lock and then hit the lock in from the outside. So I understood this process. The installation is then easier because you can insert the handle and the lock snaps in. Since the lock on the driver’s side also clamps a bit and to need only one key I have thought of changing all locks but I did not find a complete offer. Is there such a thing, a complete lock set for the lupo? That is ignition lock, door lock right/left and tailgate?

  • V50 rims… how hard are 17″ or 18″ (or more ?)

    Hello together, am freshly baked (4 days) V50 owner. The good piece is light blue metallic 2.0D Bj2005 Leder Tempomat Standheizung (geil!) and think apart from the iphone-an-volvo-box from grom over leg gowns (velves & tires) for the summer after… currently there are of course 16″ winter tires on it, which comes very “commod” = cozy. Not that I want to race with the car, should definitely remain suitable for everyday use, but from the look I would like 18″ or 19″ rims already, only the question from where it becomes too uncomfortable. Go 18″ still or is that then already “real hard”? Lowering and/or sports gear is probably not possible, the way to the house of the mother-in-law wants to be driven regularly and includes a piece of official field and forest path! I also drive a Porsche 993 Targa (there is a recommendation for Porsche the 18″ because of the comparatively soft car not) to call 17″ serial rims, that would be sportily comfortable… would be nice to say with T. 5 wheels or to keep a little bit of fun.

  • Is renewed track rod a sign of accident? Air conditioning loses fluid

    Moin, I’m about to buy a V50 1.8 petrol BJ 2008. Now I discover that on the last invoice of the seller is “purp bar renewed”. Is this an indication that there was a damage or does it have to be done anyway with the 50,000 Insprection? Besides, the air conditioning unit loses liquid, but the workshop has found no fault and only filled up. What do you think? Is a certain loss normal? Or would you suggest that there is something on the capacitor (it seems to happen more often)? The latter would be a rather expensive repair. And – are the new capacitors more stable? Or does someone have an idea how to prevent it? I spontaneously get the idea to put a wire grid in front of it. But I have no idea whether this would be technically feasible. Thank you for your assessment, Schorse P.S.: The Volvoman around the corner meant a capacitor exchange with about 600 Eur to make a book. Since the Ford Focus 2 should be construction-like: Would the capacitor there be somewhat cheaper?

  • Foot seal throttle valve MKB AKQ

    Hello & good evening My name is Chris and I’m new here in the forum. Is my first Lupo. However, I had 2 Arosas and a Polo 6N before. So not completely undecided. Now I removed and cleaned the throttle valve during my new purchase (Lupo 75 PS 16v, 116tkm, EZ 98, engine identification letter AKQ). Definitely no mistake. I once heard that with the engine the DK spoiled quite quickly? Now it made me stutzig that I found there no foot seal. Can that be? And if yes, I can “room” the one from sealing paper myself , thanks in advance Chris

  • Diagnosis aid for spark plug face VR6 searched

    Heyo, recently changed the candles during the oil change (were not 30,000 km in it). 3 pieces don’t look like they should. The candles are Beru Ultra’s. Have already controlled the websites of Beru and NGK, because there are also diagnostic aids with pictures offered there. However, both sides give quite different information about the appearance of my spark plugs. Therefore, I hope a little competent help here. Where could this come from? Did the candles exactly in the penultimate oil change. At that time I had taken the 5W40 HC oil from Castrol (“Dynatec 7” or something). Since the last oil change, however, I am back to the fully synthetic 5W40 Liqui Moly Synthoil-Hightec. But I don’t know if the oil itself is so crucial.

  • Replace camshaft adjuster?

    Hello dear Volvo drivers, I have the following problem that seems to be an illness with Volvo. My Volvo V40 2.0L (136 hp, BJ 2001) is running up and running. According to the contract workshop, the noise came from the camshaft adjuster. I replaced it after a few days with a new (260€!), because I wanted to get rid of this noise. Unfortunately, the change somehow didn’t work, my Volvo is still racing. Does anyone have the problem? What did you do? Have used the part now and my prefer not to take it back now :O Greetings

  • Color XC70

    After 3 years of V70 the countdown for a new car is running. Since my government was unfortunately not convincing of the XC90 despite extensive test drive, and I wanted a little more ground clearance and AWD, it becomes an XC70. Only with the color I do me somehow heavy. All my cars were so far blue. The barents blue on the card at the dealer looks somehow like a dusty black. At all the colors are so dark that I can see on the card no real difference between black, cassis, barents blue and cdargreen. Ocean race is unfortunately from (heul)… Long speech – do you have a recommendation for the coloration (if possible with a photo). Only white and silver I exclude from the beginning.

  • Questions about the V50!

    Hi, I’m planning to buy a Volvo V50 T5. But I’m not quite sure where to buy it yet. Volvo dealer: Advantage 2.99 % Financing, How much discount is there for a new Volvo? Has someone already made his experience? Reimport dealer: Advantage price saving around 7000 EUR (gross), disadvantage quite high financing costs approx. 6.0 % Does someone have experiences in general about reimporting and in special case to www.swedenservice.de ? From which I have sent me an offer which sounds very interesting. Own reimport (car purchase in e.g. Holland or Denmark) After what I found good and like to save 2000 EUR to the reimport dealer (in Holland). What other costs come to me with this variant? How does the purchase in Denmark behave? I did not find any exact price lists for this. Does anyone have experiences on this topic? Thanks and Grusss Lokutus PS: I would also like to know about the performance/run/consumption of the 2.5 l turbo engine installed in the T5!

  • Expensive spare parts???

    Hello together, after my dear Ford Escort Kombi has to go to the Werstatt for the third time this year (Bj 98), I love a Volvo V50, Bj 2008. Always wanted to have a Volvo Kombi, and now it’s supposed to be. However, my father gets the crisis with this thought and only meant that they are incredibly expensive if they have to go to the workshop and need a special size for everything (disk wiper, tires, etc.). Now the question to the professionals: what does it look like in practice? Just the advertisement for the car: http://www.autoscout24.de/Details.aspx?id=ljpzaaivo2aw what do you mean? Too many km for the price? Or look at it? LG Katrin
