Hello, I noticed today that with my Alfa 156 2.5 V6 the headlight cleaning system of the xenon headlights does not work. First of all, with Alfa is nevertheless like with any other car also, if I have light on and water spray must be sprayed both on the front window as well as on the headlights or how does it work ? The wiper nozzles at the front of the front window and rear rear window work perfectly. It also does not run out when spraying water under the car, so one might think forward is something leaking. Therefore my question can be that the headlight cleaning system does not spray ? mfg

Busy from BMW 5 to Phaeton
Hello together, my first post in the Phaeton Forum….. So, I’m playing with the thought of my current 5 BMW into a Phaton (with a low payment). It’s thought of a 3.0 tdi with just over or under 100,000 km. Yesterday I looked at the Phaeton at the VW dealership and I’m… I didn’t expect the car to be so beautiful. Great, noble, luxurious and PERFECT. The dealer would also buy my 5er… Now I don’t know; the new price of the Phaetond (is a 2005 model) was 75,000 EURO. Now the good piece only costs a little more than 20,000 EURO?!? How can the with the great car such a high value loss arise within 5 years of 55,000 EURO? Is the Phaeton after my possible purchase then sellable again, or no one intersted for it anymore. Again: I can’t understand how such a beautiful car (at least from inside) can have such an enormous value loss… What should I have for you next Friday?

Note symbol in the display
Hello, I had a warning or warning symbol on my dashboard display this weekend. Since I did not find this symbol in my manual and I (and my wife) could not interpret the sign, I would like to contact the forum. A round, grey sign with a green dot and three vertical “spirals”. What should I fill up or observe? The symbol has disappeared again. The picture should only indicate the place and the approximate appearance. The vertical strokes are (heating) spiral-shaped. Please no comments on the artistic value.

Refurbishment of stand-alone heating at the V10
Hello together, after it gets colder and colder and every time I start with 0°C cold engine a malicious shiver runs down my back, it will at least now at the time of the time to make me think about retrofitting a heater. What I have found out so far is that V10 drivers can probably be lucky here. Not only that a heater was installed as a heater, these also have a certain valve which would eventually separate the heating from the cooling circuit with the other engines. According to the SSP for the heating the configuration of the heater differs or not with the V10 exclusively in the coding of the control units. Therefore my question: Has it already been done by you? Nice greetings, Alex

New brake set parking brake / hand brake -> no function
In the evening, as described in the other Troeöt, I completely re-made the brake discs, pads, etc. at the back. Is there anything you can do wrong with the brake cheeks for the hand brake, if you put them in exactly the same way as the old ones? So in the back the elongated U-blech in between. The two cheeks “clamp” with the springs you have to grope in with the pointed tongs. And in the front over the tensioner with the thick spring clamp. The hand brake has no effect :-(. And yes, I found the adjustment option at the front of the lever. However, I have bought several turns, but the lever does not go any further at some point. But the hand brake nevertheless has no effect :-(. I would guess I have put together something wrong, but I have no idea what. Or I cut it to the supplier’s ears? I had bought extra “Brembo”, which according to the statements here is a proper brand. My neighbor (Motocros driver) did not have to confirm it. However, the brake would not have been anything else.

Volvo S60 170hp detonator in 5th cylinder
Moin, I drive a Volvo S60 built in 2000 with the 2.4l 5cylinder engine 170hp. After driving on the highway with a time of about 160km/h on Wednesday morning, I discovered an error message “please drive slowly, engine maintenance urgent” and the MTK was blinking at the yellow. After driving down from the highway, I just noticed that something was wrong, giving gas no real power and yes sounding like a trecker in idle. When I was at home I pulled the plug from every ignition coil, cylinder 1-4 I could detect a change in the engine run, at the 5th cylinder act nothin’ when I pulled the plug, so on screwed up and looked and fact the spark plug was heavily rusted and lacked a little bit of the candle. Well, new candle and certainly half new ignition coil was ordered and built in. Unfortunately without success, old ignition coil also tried No success, after relatively short time the candle was again full of gasoline and oil? So the candle would not have to be wet?

SRS Airbag maintenance; error code SRS-00D4
Hello together, I have read a bit crosswise. I would have a special question: I get the error message in the on-board computer “SRS Airbag maintenance urgently” and the warning triangle remains yellow. I had the error memory read out: error code: 212 (error code order: 00D4), airbag control lamp, function faulty The AB control light (bottom right in the AI) lights up at the start and then goes out. That means the light bulb there can not be faulty. I have read once that there is a indicator light in the rear view mirror. Could it trigger the error? Or does the AI have to do the repair? The warning signal, if you have not buckled on, does not always work correctly. Otherwise, the AI works. Still to the information: I had the AI repaired due to pixel errors in the on-board computer display 2 months ago. Thanks already for notes.

120,000 km view – Exchange of the belt tensioner – sudden hum
Hello, my V60 (D3) was on 20.07. to the 120,000 Km – transparency. Last year there was a call back regarding the belt tensioner, which was changed now also with me. So far everything is ok and the car runs (as always) impeccable. However, what bothers me is a noise of noise, which comes from the area of the belt, left of the engine (passenger side). As to the maintenance only this service action was carried out, it can only be related to the new belt tensioner. In the meantime I drove about 1500 km and it does not get better. Is this problem known? To the result of the inspection – for those who are interested: There were no abnormalities, everything was ok. In about 20,000 km probably the next brake linings at the back become due and some bushings at the rear axle begin to work freely. Otherwise, the dampers of the rear flap can be slowly hanged down. Otherwise, I didn’t know any more “Mängel” at the moment. If there is interest, I can also upload the invoice. My previous opinion about the car: The car is not likes of the typical size of the Volvo, but I don’t want to keep talking about the quality in the interior.

service costs for diesel engines
hello, a friend finally wants to buy a volvo. his annual km performance is more than 35 tsd km, which suggests the purchase of a diesel. with the engines he is flexible (from the driv e to the d5 goes everything in order for him). what we asked ourselves was what other costs of the diesel to come to it. how is it to exchange the dpf, regeneration cycles and refilling of adblue / urea through the service (if you can’t do this yourself, or does volvo have such a thing at all?). as engines such come into question from 2010: driv e 1.6 psa, 2.0 psa, and the 5 cylinders since this time. for a new vea the budget unfortunately does not suffice, although I would be personally interested in whether the adblue need or be satisfied with regeneration cycles. thank you flobber
