Hello My Volvo loses water and I don’t know where. If it runs half an hour to build up pressure in the system and I put it out then the water disappears in the balance tank. I open the lid again later it rises again to the old brand. The same of course also in daily driving operation. Only about the third time I have to flip back a liter or more. Below everything is dry cooler is 4 weeks old and as I said in the stand is after half enough pressure i m system to see something under the car. But there’s nothing there. There’s no white smoke in the back. Only now I noticed a little gray slime on the oil measuring rod. Car has just over 300,000 km down. Can someone help me there? Thank you Guido

Rest current at 850, what am I doing wrong?
Hi there, I’ve had a 850er for about 10 months, which was standing longer before and the battery was empty (and very old). Besides some other things I changed the old battery for a new 70 Ah battery, so I hoped to have some rest with it. However, unfortunately after a week the battery sucked completely empty, if I didn’t drive in between. So I wanted to measure the rest current and find out about pulling fuses where the problem lies. I For example, ch has retrofitted a Volvo radio receiver for the ZV and maybe it’s because of it? But unfortunately I don’t succeed in measuring it. I’ve tried to measure it with different multimeters but it doesn’t do anything. The multimeter shows no consumption, although I put it on amperes and clamp it between a pole. With a “proof photo”. Any min. consumption should be there? The alternator charges (13.8 volts standing), battery voltage 12.2 volts after two days Sta What am I doing wrong? Thank you and greeting, Finke

Navi fixed installation VDO Dayton
On please by weflydus in my introduction Fred Quote: Original written by weflydus here times the first pictures… Hardware became a VDO Dayton MS5000, which I bought quite cheaply in the large auction house. The calculation (DIN size) under the trunk ambush flap next to the breakdown triangle was stowed. Cable to the monitor was on the driver side next to the cable channel forward, under the footroom cover driver side, at the ventilation channel of the medium nozzles up to the middle speaker (be The power supply incl. return signal comes from the compact plug for the towing device (also not installed) in the trunk. Tacho signal was not necessary, so many descents in tunnels we did not have from the original middle speaker cover the grid was removed, the monitor holder was attached and then covered with light synthetic leather, suitable for the seats. Contrast between color dashboard and leather was absich t!!! ufwand (2 persons) + mother-in-law (who can handle needle and thread) about 3-4 hours. Thanks again to all who provided me with information about the moose.

Bi-fuel on a mountain trip – how does it behave?
Hello to the small CNG community! I have been asked how the 140 hp of the Bi-fuel is driving in mountainous areas. Since I only have experience from the middle mountains, they want to pass this on to the round at this point. (Compare with D-, T- or R-models please in other Freds! , 140 hp-petrols are allowed against it) I myself am quite happy to switch and turn over the 5,000 mark to Accelerate. My consumption does not increase by more than 8 ,2 kg/100km! – Do you switch the machine with a gas pedal at the end stop at the lower speeds? – At what speeds do you drive in normal operation? – Do you switch to petrol to overtake the mountain to get the last remaining torque from the engine? – What are your consumption values for mountain rides? Greetings, Stefan (always sprays all the washing water for weight reduction before mountain rides and extinguishes the light during the day to relieve the generator)

Suddenly XC90 battery empty???
Hello, after the previous shutdown our XC90 was suddenly the battery empty yesterday morning. I was of course not there again (mission trip) and so I had to explain to my OHL first by telephone, that we are in the ADAC and I put a ADAC card into the wallet a long time ago (didn’t even notice it). Fortunately there is a phone number on it which she then called. ADAC came and found empty battery. Then she charged 10 min. with his. Then h at my OHL the car ran a little 30 min in the stand and then dared not to drive any more. After that she tried to start again, which also worked perfectly. This evening I came back and had to shop urgently, which my OHL did not dare for two days. XC90 jumped perfectly, even after the purchase. My question now: why is suddenly the battery empty with a new car? With Volvo everything goes off! Radio, lights off, SH was My OHL isn’t much of a help in the cause research either 🙁 Have you ever had such a thing before? Ciao, XC90newbie.

Just change the wiper water pump for the rear window.
With mine was the wiper water pump for the rear window without function. This sits under the wiper water tank. Without lifting platform that is lying on the back quite fidgety. Especially because with me almost everything was jammed. The pump in the holder. The plug on the pump. And lastly the contacts of the plug on those of the pump. These are of course torn off from the cable. An absolute gau. After the removal the fault was found quickly. The pump is probably over the years leaking and the rotor stuck to the stator of the engine. I noticed further, the residual water in the wiping water tank was somehow thick liquid and slimy. Can this be related to the cleaning concentrate?

Wind noise through roof antenna
Hello, during the ride from about 100 km/h a wind noise disturbs me. In addition to the usual wind noises I could take an even unpleasant noise that sounds similar, as if you were pushing easily into an empty tin can. (by the way My wife had heard nothing….) For eternal searching on the seals etc. I had received a tip from the Peugeotforum. Bingo….The roof antenna is it. After the antenna is unscrewed everything is possible. n press on the antenna the antenna body and the roof plate move. Maybe there are vibrations or air currents under the rubber seal??? Maybe the antenna body needs to be screwed tighter??? Had also seen a Toyota Proace with other antenna… Random??? Did any of you have experiences of this kind? Stay healthy, greetings

Navi Pro / Dynamic route planning
Hi guys, I planned to buy a Zafira Life and have a few questions about the Multimedia Navi Pro now. How good is the dynamic route guidance provided by the system, or otherwise asked, where does the system get its congestion information? Are these just the TMC information or can you access better, more up-to-date information (from TomTom) via Opel Connect? Yes, I know that the system also supports Apple CarPlay, but there are always situations in which I like to work. f grab the built-in Navi. Besides, Apple CarPlay probably can’t display Navi information in the HeadUp display. Thanks already in advance Peter
