In the beginning there was sometimes black sometimes dark blue smoke in the middle of white smoke. But very strong. In August on vacation I noticed that the car has no water in the water tank although nothing pointed to no light no flash alarm. Short I noticed that the car loses whole water every time driving Toyota workshop has said the cylinder head is defective, probably motor hair cracks. They have recommended motor replacement. Of course high costs. .. Some free workshops claim p engine is problem-free. Only cylinde head seals repair is enough.What do they think about it I would be happy if someone would help me. .. Some free workshops claim p engine is problem-free.

volvo 960 buy?
Hello dear Motortalkler, after my 850 got the death kick in the form of a VW bus, I bought a V 40. But I’m not happy with it, I didn’t think I needed the place but…! Now I look after a 960 3.0 24 V. What can you say about this car, the automatic is ok for the duration. The equipment is excellent with almost all offered. I have one in mind with 180000km, that should not be a problem for the engine, right? My 850 2.5 20 V had last 280000km on the clock and the engine ran like a clockwork! What does the car need so, which it is not a savings miracle I know but how much is in it with adapted driving mode? Many questions and hopefully many answers. Thank you very much and greeting from hopefully soon 960s….Peter

Volvo Special Amazon 1986
Hi! As announced yesterday, here are 3 photos of my Volvo Amazon, which I was allowed to drive in 1986, but in the end the car was too stupid to keep. It was a special part, built by a Volvo mechanic in Frankfurt and then bought from me. The Volvo was dark blue, deeper laid, with extreme lowbed rims + wide tires, leather equipment and much more, which unfortunately I can hardly remember, except that it was a great feeling to be on the road with the Amazon …. I photographed the present photos with my digital camera of slides and accordingly the quality is also. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find the actual picture with the beautiful side view of the stretched Volvo yet, but will continue to look, but first these three. Gruss, Robin

Diesel engine set cold under full load
Good afternoon together. In itself I drive motors always very sensitively warm and also stay on the highway with 90 km/h behind the trucks until the oil temperature is 90 °C. Only then I drive with a higher speed than 2000 revolutions and also higher load. But now it came yesterday within the city to a driving situation, in which I had to load the engine, which just one minute ran, in the first and second gear more strongly to come relatively fast to almost 30 km/h. In the process the engine was also briefly turned over 3000 revolutions. In the afterward I found all this not good, since the oil at the time could have had just 14 °C. I hope that now there has been no greater damage / wear on the turbocharger and the other lubricating places. Do you have an assessment about how harmful these about 10 seconds could have been in the cold state? Many greetings

Navi Update Seat Leon 5F 2017
Hi dear community, I have now read various threads for the Navi update but I am not going to be able to figure out how the exact procedure is. A point by point listing would certainly help. I added a few photos in the attachment, map material is, as it looks like, from 2017. What I also noticed, I have 2 SD Slots in the glove compartment but only on SD Slot 2 is a memory card. Does this have a reason ? Would you like to look at the photos, maybe you can help me. Maybe an update is only possible with me at the dealer? because I don’t know if I have Mapcare, because I bought the car only in September 23.

False statements when buying a car
Hello all, I bought a car at Autohaus X not even 2 months ago. Has Ez 08/20 and at the time about 25,600 km on it? Did the seller ask extra about the tires and brakes, he said everything was still top. Brakes would have probably still 60-70%. Tires would be also good, from KW 18 from 21. Was the days in the workshop at the same car house but in another store. Tires are totally unevenly run off on the inside, you could only see so properly on the lifting stage, therefore he starts to vibrate correctly from 100km/h in the interior. When stepping hard into the brake it squeals very loudly, according to the service consultant, because metal sands on metal what should not be, leftover coverings would probably only be for max 2000-3000km. So according to him disks and dumps were due in front. Statement of him: So a joke is not yet happening within 2 months. I am really speechless and I don’t know what to do. In 3 weeks I have an appointment where I bought it. So expensively I have to keep the tires, so I have to keep quiet.

Driving performance V70III 2,4D; 163 hp
Also at the risk that I’m annoying: My problem with the bad acceleration of the engine still exists. Am now almost 5000 km driven. On Friday the seller made a test drive with me. Backwind, 215 km/h peak. On the counterroad (ergo headwind) we unfortunately could not quite as well as we wanted. So as a try failed. Unfortunately the master is currently sick. With that I would of course like to talk about it. He took the defect indicator two weeks ago without complaint. Still no reaction from Volvo. This morning highway, counterwind, 6th gear, the Tachonadel scratches after troublesome start at the 200 and I hardly think my eyes look past: They fall back to 195 km/h. I was alone, without luggage. Did not at Heico-Tuning on the Internet http://www.heicosportiv.de/mainframe.asp? Of course, I have used the same speed again.

Experiences Highlight Assistant
Dear Volvistis, the days are getting shorter again. Time for light on the vehicle. That’s why my question, what experience have you gained with the high-light assistant? On some midnight trips I have had the experience that weak taillights are captured by the sensor very late. Likewise, the sensor reacts sensitively with counterlights – but sometimes too late. Then the oncoming traffic appears. That the operation of the assistant on motorways is meaningless because of the weak position lights on the roof of the truck approaching: gifted. The disc in front of the sensor is always “fly-free”. Now I ask myself, can you have the sensitivity of the sensor regulated by software? Otherwise short copy after 30 thousand km in about five months: everything works perfectly. Detailed report soon. Spreewald-Volvo: at night unfortunately always rare only on the slopes

I did it – and I cheated!
Hello together, after a year it was time for a new vehicle again. After V50 2.4i and S80 D5 AWD a new vehicle should come – but this time it was not a Volvo….. On the new S80 I was disturbed by various little things, which Volvo did not get in control: -Radio loses after standstill the transmitter and needs 30-40 s to find this again -old RTI-Navi, still much slower than in the V50 -PDC that last beeps when someone passes by the intersection -to soft leather seats tbc…. So, after long consideration and various test rides was ordered then today: VW Passat CC 2.0 TDI 125 KW with DSG in Icelandic-grey perfect sport seats electric with air conditioning side airbags and belt stretcher rear Climatronic decor alu brushed backside winter package + seat heating rear tinted disks xenon-curve driving light + coming home electric mirror, automatically faded off with a battery RIN 10.
