  • Test air conditioning?

    Hello…. in my V70/2 D5 MJ06 bought on May 28th, apparently the air conditioning does not work ….. So far I did not really have to use it.. At the WE it would have done already. Despite temperature control at 18° C (for testing) and otherwise ventilation everything on car came only the same air temperature from the ventilation openings when the air conditioning is switched off. I bought the car from a dealer at 350 km distance.. 1 year warranty and warranty. I So to my local, which according to hearsays I guess so that he says without examination “Well sure there is something broken…!” 😉 I just want to avoid that I do something operatingly wrong and then pushed the big wave…. (i.e. contact to the seller/guarantor etc.)… Can you test anything about this? Greeting, Gosar

  • Buying a V70!!! urgently needs help!!!

    Hello dear elk community, so my girlfriend and I are looking for a combi up to 10000euro. due to my positive experiences with the brand volvo (I drove a baby elk the s40 with 1.6l for 2 years) and the very good image of the brand volvo we decided to buy a volvo insb for the winter! Besides there are still the Mazda 6 and the opel signum and a V40 to choose from. now I have discovered a v70 construction year 2001, so shcon phase 2 for 8900euro. he has 82000km gel he has the 2,4l engine with 140ps. what can you say to the car and in particular to the engine? what weak spots does he have and can one buy the still bedenklos. at the various car exchanges we have also seen many interesting diesels in the price segment, which however have around 150000km on the clock… can one also diesel diesels buy relatively mindless despite the high running power? and which motors are generally better at the v70? the gasolines in the with 140ps or the diesel? What do I have to pay attention to when buying? best greetings and thanks for your help silo ps. the elk we’re looking for still has the original cassette radio from volvo in it, can you have it relatively easy and without ugly holes rim amturenbrett permanently nen cd radio install or there are problems, since I see how big the radio with hook in the amaturenbrett is?

  • Reverse rolling on the slope despite automatic?

    Moinsen together! So, the S80 is still satisfactory so far, but I noticed something last time…: When driving in a car park I had to stop on a ramp (shout upwards). After releasing the foot brake the car rolled backwards. With my previous driving experience with Volvo vending machines, they did not roll backwards, but stayed on the spot, partly they still crawled up the slope (e.g. AW30-43LE with B6304F in 960). Okay, I don’t know which car now! Is that normal? If so, I think it’s a little weak of Volvo… Was it always so nice to take the feet off the gas on the slope for a short time with the engine running and the driving stage in place and just hold the car with the automatic…

  • V70/S60 Ø discount for used cars between MY06 and MY07

    Moin, Sufu “Used car and discount” was unsuccessful, therefore a new topic. From the subject the question already emerges. What discount can one achieve with skilful negotiations with a V70 or S60 from the MY06 and MY07? The edge parameters: either D5 and between 30 and 60TKM and the gasoline rivals like 2.5T, T5 and R with the same KM stand, all fully loaded as possible? Can one, according to your experience, missing / deviating features like e.g. gearbox, missing PDC, missing Sliding roof, bright leather or similar for negotiation? How many % can one currently negotiate at prices of e.g. 24000 or 28000 €? BG Sascha

  • Which xenon light source? (XC60 MJ 12)

    Hello together, last night my first xenon light bulb burned through me at all. He then told me this morning that a new bulb should cost 108(!!!) Euro.Friendly with installation… After that I found it rather Now I informed myself and saw that the bulbs are much cheaper to get. After a short discussion with the workshop I was assured that I would buy something myself and then be used. Two new burners are then imm It is even cheaper than one from the workshop. I have read that you should use lamps from OSRAM in the meantime. With others there seems to be problems with the size. And that you can exchange the same two since the lamps probably age quite strongly and you will see a clear difference. Only I am unwise which I should take. OSRAM Xenarc Original (type 66140) seems to be what Volvo itself installs, but is somehow like 08/15, but 4 years guarantee ie. OSRAM Xenarc Cool Blue Intense (type 66140CBI) has a blue shimmer and according to the description “up to” 20% more light yield. But as I have seen this should make the whole in wet road, rain or fog rather negatively noticeable because a lot of light is swallowed. So then probably rather 20% less than more. OSRAM Xenarc Night Breaker Unlimited (type 66140XNB) should deliver 70% more light and is probably the top model. Somewhere I had read that the light color not so to ll is supposed to be and together with the H9 main beam (what is this actually installed for, I thought this is Bi-Xenon?) rather irritating. OSRAM Xencarc Ultra Life (type 66140ULT) seems to be like the original, but should hold much longer and have 10 years warranty. I did not find any real information about this. Since I found rather no experiences of Volvo drivers (or even XC60ers) I wanted to ask here directly what you recommend or what it looks like with experiences. Personally, the “blue” will probably fall out, unless someone convinces me. Imagine that they will look quite “advanced” but outweigh the disadvantages. Currently, I actually tend to the Xenarc Original or the Long Life because I ALWAYS drive with light and am not sure if the (alleged) color difference in the Night Breaker doesn’t go on the cookie.

  • Very strong engine oil loss in the Volvo V70

    Hello! I have a problem with my Volvo V70 BJ 1999, petrol with manual transmission: It consumes since the newest 1/2 liter engine oil on approx. 100km. In the workshop they had the suspicion that the engine burns the oil because they can not see that it flows out somewhere. After measuring the exhaust gas values and other clues (like no blue smoke) they told me now, however, that it looks like the engine is fine. We are now making an oil change and driving d ann for diagnostic purposes 300 to 1,000 km with a lot of oil in my luggage to see how fast it goes away. Does anyone have any idea what it might be? Has anyone had similar experiences? All in all, this sounds pretty bad (and pretty expensive for me). Unfortunately, I’m not a car expert at all and hope to get advice from some of them! Thank you!!!! Linda PS: Maybe I should say that the workshop also found out that a Simmring (?) on the gearbox Because the car also loses transmission oil, and the hoses of the crankcase ventilation are porous. However, I understood them in such a way that these are no reasons for the strong engine oil loss.

  • Exhaust selection

    Hello dear community, now that the money for holiday jobs is there, I am once again so free to bring my moose further to the front.Becoming: -new exhaust system (middle silencer) -loudspeaker in front door+D-pillar -Hydro bearing -3.brake lamp Now to my questions: I have 2 possibilities with the exhaust: -original for 312€ -the plant of Walker for 165€ Does anyone have experience here with the plant of Walker? The main thing is that it lasts so 10 years. At the moment it is just high school I’m not sure why I’d rather have a small buffer. Later on I’d like to get a stainless steel system. The rest is already regulated (thanks to chaos1994 ). With the brake lamp I have only one question: does someone have this clamp flying around, which holds the lamp in position? Is this number 20. LG, Tim

  • 2 errors / problems with the radio SC-805

    Hello together! Someone can help me? In my V70 I (Bj 1998) a Radio SC-805 is installed (radio and boxes from factory). 1. It happens again and again that the radio becomes mute when braking for about 1 – 2 seconds. This happens again and again, but is not reusable. 2. With the same car the left boxes (front and back) are put out again and again completely. Also here completely irregular. It is also not vibration – or knock dependent. I have already paid 2 hours of troubleshooting in the workshop -> unfortunately without result. Both mistakes occur since I bought the car (it was then 8 months old). Reliable as one is often, I am not immediately in the factory saddle and later the guarantee was over. If it doesn’t want to help neither knocking nor driving bad roads, on the other hand it happens even at low speed on the best roads. It would be great. if someone had tips for me.

  • Blinker control

    Hello werte Gemeinde I bought a new moose about 2 months ago. (850, year of construction 95)http://www.ebay.de/…/261524657199?… So far everything is in order and also the TÜV in mid-August he got unreserved. Unfortunately the then salesman is no longer available for me (why always) and therefore I have to ask the question here. He has installed a “blinker control” for the good one, which worked well until a few days ago. I don’t know where to start with a troubleshooting. Do you have any ideas? Best regards!) But unfortunately, it’s no longer possible. And since I don’t have so much screwdriver knowledge, I don’t know where to start with a troubleshooting.

  • V70 1.6 DRIVe cylinder head gasket again?

    Hello, I had the ZKD changed at our V70 1.6 DRIVe 2016 at Volvo, at approx. 170,000 KM, now at 220.000 KM the message “cooling water level low” comes regularly with longer motorway rides and around the balance tank it is moist. On the container is permanently overpressure, even if the car has cooled down and then pushes the level again over the Min mark when opening. Autowerkstatt has checked the cooling system.. “everything dense”.. also no CO2 measurable.. Before approx. one Half a year I had a massive wild damage (8,000 euros damage), in which also the complete cooler was replaced…. the problem with the cooling liquid then occurred 8 weeks after the repair on a longer highway ride at high speed. Free workshop suspects cylinder head seal. Is it conceivable that with a V70 after within 50.000 KM twice the cylinder head seal is defective? Is another damage still conceivable in connection with the wild damage? I’m grateful for your ideas.
