  • Diesel particulate filters change Volvo V50 2.0 D

    Hello. Today I started to change the particle filter. My V50 from 2008 meanwhile has 166,500 km down. Although I did not have an emergency run yet, but for about a year I noticed oil increase and for a few weeks also a strongly increased diesel consumption. So I thought, cann’t be a witchcraft to change this part. I bought a replica filter from Cats and Pipes from Wales (GB) in the wholesale trade. Price 355 €. Thanks to the instructions of the user ALOK (thanks for this) it was also clear what and how everything had to be unscrewed. I unscrewed the cross beam and sprayed the flange screws on the DPF properly with rust releaser and let it work for about 10 minutes. All four nuts were released relatively easily with a gun. The two hoses were affected by the differential pressure sensor, which was a little fuzzy, since the upper hose was relatively light. The plug of the temperature sensor was a little “hardened” and could not be removed so easily. It was also the plug of the temperature sensor. It could only be unruly and solved. But everything was a small question of patience and within a few minutes it was all done. Then I was able to remove the old DPF relatively easily. Then the temperature sensor was removed and screwed into the new one and tightened. new seals on top and again pure with the new DPF. Nuts and seals lay Then push the hoses from the differential pressure sensor on, which was a little fummy again, plug in the temperature sensor, tighten all the nuts, get ready. Take some pictures, about 45 minutes. Then I filled up the additive, deleted all the errors with the OBD computer, reset the counter and finished. Overall I needed a little more than an hour for it. Then I changed the oil and filter, so that with it again all the engine started and it ran as usual. Also no engine control lights or any other malfunction indicated. Then looked if the filter is close to the flanges. Everything okay. I then checked with the computer again all parameters, also there was everything ok. Now I drove off then. Performance actually like before, so I say you can feel at the performance nothing that a new DPF was installed. I was only important, how behaves the fuel consumption. So on the highway un d run. He moved unreservedly to Tacho 210 km/h and also went during thrust operation to a current consumption of 0.0 liters / 100 km. That was already the first good sign, because in recent times he had always indicated a consumption in thrust operation, partly even 1.8 liters / 100 km. That is over. I then reset the average consumption on the highway. I then drove quite comfortably with 80 in the 6th gear over the country road home. In the place at the traffic light, sometimes on the board computer I know that this value is utopianly low and it will definitely settle again to 6 – 6.5 liters, but the first impression was extremely positive. Also, it was immediately noticeable when driving over the country road that it no longer regenerated, it was no longer possible to feel a jerking at partial load. So also that positive. All in all, it can be said from my point of view after the first impression, waru I have been tormented with this for so long?! Two static regenerations and two extra-planned oil changes due to dilution were not worth it. If the filter now thinks for the price what I promise myself, I am more liberating and annoyed that I have waited so long with it. I am at least curious how the consumption will develop over a longer period of time. Can keep you informed. But have certainly saved a lot of money. a few more photos that document the work steps.

  • Bosch wiper blade: Aerotwin for Volvo XC60 (BJ2014)

    Hello, I am dissatisfied with the original Volvo wiper blades and would like to exchange them for Bosch Aerotwin. On the official homepage of Bosch there are no accessories for the vehicle XC60 D4 FWD (BJ2014). If you are looking for Volvo XC60 D4 AWD BJ2014, accessories are listed, including the Aerotwin wiper blade set. Are there really differences in the holder of the wiper blades or do not talk about other reasons, the Aerotwin wiper blades for the D4 AWD also on the XC 60 D4 FWD (BJ2014)? What experiences did you have with the Bosch Aerotwin?

  • XC60 – Thule or VOLVO? – Which roof rack and box?

    Hello together, it had to mature for a long time, but now I am also convinced that I need a “mother-in-law sarge” on my moose. For a layman the decision making is rather difficult. I like the Thule Wingbar system purely optically. But also the VOLVO system looks nice, especially since it is probably made by Thule ( ?). I want a system that can take a Thule box (possibly the new one ), with approx. 300-350 liters. Later the system should also be compatible with Thule Fahrr Should I buy the expensive Thule Wingbar or original Volvo? If I change the car I would like to continue using the system with manageable costs. Concretely: P.S.: Found a few pictures that fit visually well.

  • Damage Bumper GP3 2012 – today standing pressed by backward shunting truck

    Unfortunately, today my Phaeton parked on the roadside was damaged by a backwards moving tractor. The bumper was completely pressed in by the ramp guard above the license plate and below the grill and broke out on the whole horizontal area. It is a GP3 2012 and PDC and ACC show no errors. Now my question: Which times of the workshop stay is to be reckoned with and is the GP3 bumper at all available? Can one about the Scha the number with bumper and grill, if we assume that ACC, SWR and PDC are still in order? Jan

  • Volvo S60 D3 Summum 2011 110,000KM Purchase Advice.

    Hello dear Volvo Comunity, would like to buy me a new used one. The decision a lot on Volvo S60, because the car looks good, does not stand at every corner and you hear in large and not much negative. I come from Austria and there the selection is not so big when it comes to used S60. A copy that appeals to me is the S60 D3 summum, with 110,000km. 13.800Euro So the car is praised by the dealer: FIRST BESITZ SCHÖNER ZUTAND NO SMOKING VEHICLE GARAGEG EXPLANATORY PICKERL TO 2017 (MODEL 2012) AUSTRIAC VEHICLE (NO INPORT) SERVICE AT FIRMA VOLVO (FULL STANDARD) NEW SERVICE ****AUTOBAHN KM**** NO KRATZER & DELLEN UMTAUSCH + FINANCING WITHOUT PAYMENT POSSIBLE!!!!

FIRST SITTING.WY NEW** CAR Type: S60 D3 Summum**.ERSTER BESITZ.WIE NEW** Number of seats: 5 Exact colour designation: white Capacity: 1984 ccm My question to you is, what do I have to consider at 110,000km. When do I have to change the tooth rubbing, what does it look like with DPF, are there also frequent coupling problems with the D3? Also consider combing an S60 D2 drivE 2011 with 114hp and 103.000KM. Private sales, last service at 100,000KM and brakes made new at 11.800Euro What do I have to consider with this model, except r that it is different than the D3 is a PSA contour. I’ve already made a bit of a smart move, but would still be very grateful for tips from experienced Volvo drivers. Greetings from Vienna.

  • Navigation shows 45 km too much

    Hi, my Navi has been showing more than 45 km of distance lately. I set up a destination that is, for example, 50 km away. The Navi then shows 95 km. It leads me to the destination reliably, but at the destination it does not say that I have reached the destination but wants to lead me somewhere with a rest of 45 km – so it does without saying “You have reached the destination” with some uncomprehensible route. If this error occurs it plays It doesn’t matter if I delete the target again and program it again – or enter another target, it remains there, it always displays 45 km too much. Almost you might think it is some intermediate destination entered, but that’s not the case. And besides, the Navi would have to say at least before continuing “You’ve reached your intermediate destination” What can that be? And another question: what is annoying to me is that the radio volume in navigation announcements is extremely high. Is it impossible to adjust this? – I don’t find anything there?

  • TAXING FROM T5 TO THE 145 HP VERSIONS ?????

    hello elche wass would pass? tomorrow he gets the complete exhaust system including welded cat under it, so I think among other things also the steiergeraet in the hands….. death of my motor or more positive intervention in the motor management?? greeting from Spain

  • Exhaust – what am I buying?

    Hello everybody, after 19 years the end tube is rusted to me the last time! I am outraged! But because the flex tube is also dying and the cat already rattles I want to make everything new from front to back. The free workshop of my trust calls for the cat 500 Euro and for the end pot with pipes etc 300 Euro. Probably all original Volvo. Which other trade names can I use calmly? Greeting Sven

  • Interior fan only works sporadically/accidentally

    Hello, this is my first post here. So please be nice. I have only little screw experience but try to acquire what’s going on… My problem: A few days ago my interior fan gave up the spirit. No matter which controller setting, there is no air. However, it flashes with rec and AC switches, which indicates a mistake (start resistance too big etc.) It heats but does not help much without air that drives the heat out. My 850er has climate automation. Me in the first thought was blower engine did not work, two hours later got back into the car and it worked again. So out of sight, until two days ago. Again the same problem, nothing goes sour cold etc… Have already looked around me after a new used blower + pre-resistance (if present?). Since degrees just everything works again. And that is rather counterproductive for my error correction. What could this all be about, by any fuse or a resistance? It can’t be on the engine, because it works sporadically perfectly. Which parts can be to blame for this problem? My idea would be to change the five fuse in the engine safety box? But if it were through would actually go nothing more or?… Am with my anyway deficient Latin at the end…joy me out of ideas. Greeting, violinist

  • ABS control unit Volvo 850 Bj 93

    Hello, my Volvo 850 has been lighting up the ABS lamp almost all the time lately. After a few hijackings, I found out that you just have to turn off the car after the first start (with then bright ABS lamp) and start it again. Then you hear a switching process somewhere and the ABS lamp goes out and stays out. If the car stands a little longer and you start it again, then the lamp is on again. According to my information, the ECUs of this year are s not affected by the cold soldering points. But what can it be then? Does anyone have an idea? With friendly greeting A.Mausch
