Dear VOLVO friends, although I’ve been falling for the 940 for a long time, I’m new here in the forum and hope for your advice. — I bought a very well-kept combination, built in 1996 again with 135 hp in the turbo version with currently 308,000 I had a new Prins gas system installed, which also works without any problems. Unfortunately, I have the following problems. After about two to three hours of highway with an average 130/140, the control light started to light up on the left which indicates a problem with the Lambda probe ? or ? Then a noticeable power drop especially on the mountain – it fell back to 100, on a straight track I was able to speed it up again but at 140 was over and it didn’t accelerate any more – I drive the car with a maximum 130 and 150 in the top – in the gas operation the performance loss is a little more, with gasoline he drives minimally better. I replaced the fuse 1 at the gas station — there was the check again. It is also striking that as soon as he gets a little undertoury – he jerks and has a drop. Has someone an idea of you and can help me for your answers?

No ABC: Substantial lowering (1-2 cm)
Here in the forum there is already one or another thread about lowering the R230 without ABC. However, it is often about how to get the car as low as possible. With me it is rather the opposite problem. The simplest method is the installation of either H&R springs or the Eibach “Pro Kit” (also feathers. Both sets bring the car . My problem: that is too much for me. I would rather make a lowering of 1 to max. 2 cm on my car. So extremely discreet… Deswg. my question: Are there possibilities to reduce the lowering of the car ? Can one achieve something e.g. about the use of other spring plates? At the Eibach “Pro Kit” there is still the remark: Quotation: The factory-installed spring plates are available in the thicknesses 8-23 mm in DB workshops. This can vary the lowering given here. But I have also often read that this is simply not true. Any tips for me?

Miles or miles?
Hello, my 380 SL was delivered to America in 1985 with “German” engine – 204 hp, from there 4 years ago brought back by a car champion to Germany. This Mercedes-Kfz champion restored the car beautifully and sold winter 2020/21 to me with indicated mileage 92,700 KILOMETER. This summer I drove the SL for the first time more longer distances and found out that the speed is indicated in km/h, but the driven track (on km-tacho disc) counts in MEILEN, as well as the day counter. Is my assumption true that my car has run about 92000 miles, i.e. almost 150,000 KILOMETER – and I have paid almost 60,000 kilometers too much for it? (The seller – on the topic – responded to me with the reference to the TÜV and the local conversion to German papers).

What is the wakeup line?!?!
Dear friends, I’m still fighting with my not always reliably running COMAND system…. (When it runs once, it runs reliably, but it doesn’t start again after switching off once)…. The Headunit and the AGW have been tested and found to be fine! Now I want to monitor the power supply during the reinstallation on the connector of the Headunit and came up with the following question(s): In addition to the LWL there are still plus, minus and the so-called Wakeup line available: 1) For what is the Wakeup line?!? or 2) which connections do I have to monitor to see if the “non-starting of the Headunit” could be due to the power supply. 3) Where is the SAM with the R230 Vormopf and what function does it have? For answers I say thank you in advance!

3 liters Lupo: grinding sound at first gear
fazzoletto 6X / 6E Themenstarter Good day to you all! I would like to hear your opinion about a problem with my Lupo 3l, if possible. He makes a blazing, grinding noise in the 1st course, which can be heard both inside and outside. It seems to come from the front left. The noise is also partly heard when switching down in idle from the 3rd to the 2nd course. Since it is very difficult here in Hamburg to find a workshop, which is well-known with it, I would like to have your opinion on it. So far I was told that it could be the gearbox, which would be quite expensive. Another mechanic said that it could be the clutch bearing and if you change this, you should also replace the clutch, which should cost around the 700,-€. Year 2002, 192,000tkm run, tooth strap replaced before 30,000tkm. So, I would be very grateful to all your recommendations/means. Happy New Year and love greeting, Karina

Abc error message ” Careful driving”
2 questions …. The topic has been taken over here many times and I have read a lot about it. I have a SL 500 r230 bj 2003. I get the error message “abc carefully drive”, displayed. I have had a star diagnosis done : error code C 1525-064 system pressure too low. The error comes when I drive a few times over recesses. Some days there is no error message. Otherwise it goes up and down without problems and sinks nowhere. Also I have not been able to detect oil loss. It is not possible to make remote diagnostics, also that is clear to me. Can someone tell me what it might be and does someone know a specialized Abc chassis specialist near Kassel?

Configuration V 70
Good Tach too, I’m a Newbie in this circle and greet all Volvo drivers! Up to now I didn’t have much on the cap with Volvo, except that my Bio-Pauker in the middle of the 70s drove a metallic blue 164 E with black leather cushions, a car that I find at that time like today megageil. Drive currently Passat Variant TDi (< 20 workshop dates in 5 J.) and had as successor an A6 out. Then on the weekend I tested the V70 D5 and since then back and forth !! Especially the engine makes every VAG diesel look old !! Have now configured a V70 and would have liked to have your opinion on it: V 70 COMFORT, sapphire black-met., partial leather sports seats front Sisalbeige, LM rim Mimas 205/55 R16, inserts Alu dark matt, climate automation, Dachspoiler, roof railing, beverage holder vo/hi, smoker package, reserve wheel full of luggage? Well THE FIGHT IS THE FISHING?

S 60 R – buy again
Hello dear forum, I am always more enthusiastic about the active activity in this forum. At the moment I only read with – but since I plan the purchase of an S60 R, I hope to be at the side soon also with advice and action. I still have one question: Do you know a source on the Internet in which the S 60 R in black is shown with beige or in silver with blue interior equipment ? Both cars were offered to me and I doubt which one it should become final. Every tip is helpful – the original brochure does not do so much therefore.

My navigator’s down
In the last week my Navi had moved me! At first my Navi only showed a displacement of approx. 100 m (at <-> = 100 m), at last it moved permanently on the airfield Münsterä-Osnabrück, when it was with me in the garage, although that of me is approx. 150 km away. Although not tragic, since at the moment there are no big drives, but annoying. Then the description of the Hidden-Menues in the RTI, and on Saturday I sat down with it and see: I was able to rearrange and adjust my Navi! For me as a non-technician already something really great! Anyway: now it works again, apparently also stable, since I have been on normal roads again and not on the airfield. Has someone ever had to do with such a “disorientation” and adjustment, or is it here a (dramatic?) drop-out? In any case: well that there is mt!

I love my “diva”, but she makes me crazy :-(……need your help!!!!
Hello you guys, I really need your help from someone who knows about this kind of car guuuut 😉 I drive my Spider 939 now for 8 years and this car costs me the last nerve. There was not a single year with this car without problems! Currently I have the following problem: My engine light went on and off, on and off, on and off…. However, the car drove perfectly. Then he went after a few days into the “emergency mode” and I brought it to the workshop. This time to the workshop of my trust and not to Alfa, because I have only made bad experiences so far. After reading the error, the error should probably be back at the control chain again. I had already had this again at almost 30,000 km koplett. Today I had to go to… the car went out of the tacho. To make it short, the sensor has been exchanged for the 3rd time now. After that I was able to drive again about 1 week and now the engine light is again to drive again. Today I already had the Gau…. the car went out! I did not find this problem again, but I did not know this problem again in the last time. I remember.
