  • capital electrical error / is it starting now?

    Hello, this morning I just drove the moose out of the driveway: When I wanted to close the car again, not the turn signal as “Quitung” came, but I saw that the brake lights were still switched on. When I started again, there was a lot of error messages from the on-board computer: Bring the vehicle to a safe stop! Airbag maintenance erföderlich ABS failure slip protection etc. In addition, the windscreen wiper could not be switched off anymore and the main light flashed in the beat of the wipe intervals. Great self-life! So first of all the battery clamped down, so that the brake light did not suck the battery off. After calling the VOLVO Assistance came the ADAC, which took my elk huckepack and brought it to the next friend. I was curious what he caught up with. The 11.000km anyway, could not have gotten to him at my driving mode. Hopefully no marder?! Tomorrow I get a rental time, how the VOLVO promise works. The Elch picture was almost for me the best thing!

  • Degrading Door Panel C70II

    Hello After my moose was in the workshop (because of the not working box on the left) I was told that it does not go beyond the guarantee. A new speaker should cost 400€!!! (Dynaudio) Nu is my thought, door cladding off (both sides) and new boxes installed, because for 400€ I get already neat. Is the question only if it is so easy to change and which size they have,does there happen to be something? I just miss on the left side of the bass,the heights work. So how do I build the cladding off?

  • Please do a PDC test

    Hello, so slowly I am in despair. According to Volvo, the rear PDC is supposed to dim the volume of the radio as soon as an obstacle is detected when driving backwards. Mine also does so. But: In order for the volume to be dimmed automatically, I have to turn up the volume of my radio at least half the volume of my XC90 beforehand. Underneath this, the volume of my PDC is no longer dimmed. The problem is that if I have turned up the volume of my premium sounds + subwoofer about 25-30% of the possible volume, I don’t hear the first beeps sounds of the PDC at all. My friend has tested all possible XC90s, which all have the same problem and pass this on to Volvo – so far with the success that the fourth Volvo-Fräulein has called me and has explained that the volume is not quieter with inserting the R-Gange. Could the XC90-drivers have the same problem and pass this on to Volvo – so far with the success that the fourth Volvo-Fräulein has called me now and that the volume is quite independent of me, if you want to say that your radio.

  • Ask for your advice

    Hello you dear request for help or advice!! I bought two months ago a Volvo V40 Bj 2004 1.9d 105ps with full service book. The car has now about 185.xxx Tkm at the speedo. In the engine room I saw that the timing belt was exchanged with 89,000 Tkm in 2010 so exactly 10 years ago and just 100,000 Tkm. I paid the car only 2,000 Euro for it is completely clear I think it pays off now to change the timing belt or not, I would drive the car about 1 year still. I assume that the timing belt will cost me about 500 (panning roller, turning roller, flat belt and the water pump). To my actual question: PAY OF THE ZAHNRIMEN off, OBWOHL I QUASI ON 2000 EURO THE ELCH PAY??

  • Can older years of construction absolutely not be read out anymore ?

    Moin together, question in the round: Has anyone else of you tried to read out his S/V40 from year ’95 or ’96 to possibly 2000? At my Bj ’98 (Mj.’99) a free workshop, an Opel , as well as a savvy private screwdriver and two Volvo workshops have tried to read out by now. There is simply no return… According to the one VolvoWorks which, out of personal interest of the boss, also likes to deal with old/youngtimers, it is probably due to the constantly new updates of the software, the older years of the year ( about 19 years) “fall down”… Can you confirm that? Would it be possible to read out anything with outdated software at all? Does anyone of you use an older reader or program? Does someone have a purchase link to it or has his old device yet to sell? In advance already best thanks for your answers ! the Manuel

  • New lock had to be here!

    Hi Leuts, after almost 2 weeks Phaeton I have to say, I am still back and forth from the thick. I have never driven anything similar. The only flaw I noticed immediately and above all was displeased and is the poppy VW-Schlüssel. Often confused with my wife her Beetle-Schlüssel. I stand in front of the thick schlüssel in the trouser pocket and nothing goes. No door opens. Also not after tearing at the handle…….. AHA false Schlüssel. This does not happen from now on. Finally I have the “SCHlüSSEL” which fits to the Phaeton. He is really a nice part and an absolute handcuff. Can only advise everyone the few Euros from it is definitely worth it.

  • XC 90 Order Tips

    Hello you, have me now penetrated and will sign the order for the Großelch on Monday. Ordered is: XC 90 D 5 summum with Geartronik, Navi, parking aid, color black inside black/alu Question: what is still really useful and should be ordered, or what do you really not need? Alarm system? Is from your point of view the automatic important to achieve after 3 years, a sales return in relation to the new price better? Is black metallic mandatory or is it normal black enough? Is the visible difference large? What do the winter bikes cost for the car? What about the insurance? My first inquiry with my current insurer (cosmos directly) was sobering: “can I not tell you if we insure the full insurance, I have to clarify first” Are there any problems to insure the box in general? Thank you in advance! parkbank

  • Volvo S40/V40 BJ2000 Radio Exchanges

    Hello dear community, At the moment I am using the original cassette radio from Volvo in my elk, which I want to replace so slowly. I have already bought a Radio DIN2 from JVC. I was aware that it will be different on the radio but I will not find it at Amazon etc.. Which adapter do I need exactly? I have the same problem with the antenna cable. Now to my second request. The mounting frame from the radio does not fit in the shaft, because Volvo has attached “rails”. Have already read here that you have to saw it off so that the radio fits in. Is there another alternative? Please have mercy with a Volvo beginner! Thanks already for the answers!

  • Lifetime LED headlights

    Hello together Right at the front: I personally don’t like these headlights with the built-in LED floor light visually. I also don’t think they can keep up with the originals regarding illumination. Compared to the Hella headlights, they are at least a price-wise alternative: [url=http://cgi.ebay.de/…721QQcmdZViewItemQptZCar parts_ Zubeh%C3%B6r?…[/url] I would like to know what experiences you could gain with the LED lights installed in them (fix?). LEDs should last forever and two days if you believe in the statements. In practice, however, much cheap truth is used, which barely reaches the lifespan of normal light bulbs… How long do the LED machines keep in these V40 lamps from the Far East? And: Can you change the bulbs?
