  • Help, who else has trims for the windshield?

    Moin. In my 850s, the decorative strips on the right and left of the windshield (Kombi mit Reling) are just about right in front of you and what appears to be behind it looks really unsightly. Had read somewhere that you can also use the V70. Does anyone still have some or a tip where you can get some? Greet Eric

  • Where does THAT go????

    Meal staff! Today my animal didn’t want to jump on! So the big sheet metal ripped up, blinded in the scenery and after some organs my wife then saw under the LLR two tube ends, which were hanging around in the area. “Does that have to be so, honey?!” The LLR is flattened and with bent optics in the interiors ocularly doctored…nix found where the two ends could be scared. Ergo comes here now my question: Where do the ends come up???? Automatic one sees yes and then…yes, the two-liter girl engine with 126 horses… He then jumped on, too, after I had jammed the LLR. Lief however like a box of chain bolts and has blushed out like stupid at the back! But can be that I have tried to dolle him! That looked like my Opa, who makes with his thick cigar rings!!!! Grus Jan, who reckons with M&M and their expertise!!! Thank you!

  • VDU with problems??!!

    Problems with DSG I just came from a little ride home and found out the following: I drive around in the D so comfortably (120 km/h), before a turn I switch down to the 3rd gear via the paddles. Starting curve is quite accelerated but the DSG no longer switches up. Stays stuck in the 3rd, on 6000 tours I then intervened myself. Is this normal?? I was of the opinion that it goes back to the D mode independently. Or am I somehow wrong??

  • Something different about tires.

    My thesis about summer and winter tires. An invention of the industry to make sales ? The only right point a winter tire has because of its profile more grip in snow but otherwise ? Claim: Summer tires in winter becomes hard because of the cold and the winter tires in summer softer because of the rubber mixture . The fact is that the winter tires slip just like the summer tires on ice and also on foliage because the tires do not slip on the foliage but the wet foliage on the road . Now to the rubber mixture, the tires rubs while driving and becomes very warm therefore the rubber is always warm not immediately at the start but after 1 to 2 km . A whole year tire has actually only both profiles . Due to the heat development the glue of the former round-renewed running surfaces which were also not glued . I drove in winter 2001 with summer tires to Switzerland and the car behaved like in summer, my colleague drives only with winter tires the whole year and the car keeps track even at high speeds in summer in the curve . All lug and deception ?

  • VW Phaeton rearview camera with OPS retrofit

    Hello, I have a Phaeton BJ 04.2012 it is a PDC (3D0 919 283F) address : 76 installed and I would like to install a return camera soon. I would like to know if you can replace the PDC control unit for one e.g.: from the pass, the OPS has (3C8 919 475) address : 10, so that the distance next to RFK is optically displayed. I have already found websites that offer OPS in Phaeton. Shouldn’t you actually go then?Can you simply use a XXX 919 475 STG (umpin + code) or do you have to take notice of something else?

  • How do you maintain your fatness?

    Hello, from me current occasion: How do you maintain your thickness? Self or do you leave care? Since you passionate hand washers or drive through the washing system (program?)? Do you grow it or have to reach the hot wax from the washing line? Interior – leather care, wood care etc.? My procedure: hand wash in the SB washing box (mostly on Sundays at 05:30 in the morning, otherwise I am always fully clamped.) Rims with rim cleaner. Then, after thorough cleaning a layer of wax. In the interior 2-3 times a year leather care with means from the leather center, otherwise in between a quick cleaning by means of Swissvax Quick Interior Finish and delicate microfibre cloth. Otherwise sucking, as often as necessary. Discs with glass cleaner. On a stimulating discussion, Alex

  • Engine selection

    Hi the manschaft, I need your support. I want to buy a Volvo XC60 (between 2009 and 2013). The problem is, there are really many engine variants, and it’s really hard for me to make a decision. I have a few requirements: it has to be a diesel car because I drive at least 3500km a month, and should also be normal in terms of maintenance costs. With such small SUVs I would like to prefer an autimatic transmission, but if it makes sense, I prefer to let the professionals decide. And if you also know other SUVs that are good, please just mention, it can always help.

  • Climatic compressor defective

    Hello dear elk forum, actually I don’t own the V50 anymore (now XC60), I passed it on within the family, but I still have problems Contact person News Problem: not a great climate. And only when it’s hot, so really hot! Under 25 degrees everything sparks, it’s over after a few minutes. And even after restart no more. Only the next day…. He changed dryer and capacitor (€800), but it wasn’t discovered now: the compressor doesn’t run after a while, it’s somehow stuck. According to the type (V50 2.4l GT from 2006, 175tkm) never existed. Has anyone ever had this before? Is this really the only one? Now the next €1300 should be in. Not a little…. Greetings!

  • Pipeline rusted from the steering gear at the D5, is there a repair kit?

    Moin together, with my V50 D5 a pipeline from the steering gear is rusted through and now leaks. When steering oil splashes out of the pipe. Does anyone know if there is a repair kit? My workshop says no, the complete steering gear needs to be replaced. In the V70 II forum I saw pictures of a repair kit. I am a bit perplexed and hope for a good tip from you now! Many greetings to the rainy Land Max
