  • Foam stolen under motor cover of rodent

    Hello together, when I took off the engine cover for the first time in a long time on the weekend to take a look below, there was an unpleasant surprise: a rodent has torn a decent hole (about 10 cm2) into the yellow foam lining of the cover – the whole engine block was full of yellow crumbs! In addition, the foam was torn off by some of its hot-killed fastening points, so that the yellow mat now hangs down in some places. Must woh l has happened due to the slowly crumbling material in old age plus the pulling and pulling of the nest material thief. Does anyone have an idea whether you can replace this foam somehow, or do I need a completely new cover to restore the original condition? Have I looked for what a new original cover costs… not cheap. Best regards, Matt

  • DPF regeneration with VCDS

    Hello Need the help of the VCDS experts… Must regenerate my DPF. But I have VCDS 17.8.1 is VCDS beginner. In every DPf video under “motor electronics”……”Access permission” is asked for a 7 digit access code. This is displayed in a kind of speech bubble in the videos if you go with the cursor on the input field, not with me. Do I then need no code??? If I then go under “8 measurement blocks” I can not also the measurement blocks shown in the videos How are the measurement blocks with the 3l TDI? Can someone help me? How/Where can I see how much km the last regeneration was performed in the VCDS? How/where can I look at the loading state? Gruss Günni

  • Volvo S40 2005 Bluetooth or Aux retrofit

    Hello, I would like to retrofit a Bluetooth function in my vehicle. To my knowledge, the vehicle has installed the worst audio system, which only has a fiber optic connection. At least I was told that it is called that. It is not a facelift and therefore also has no aux connection. If you can just retrofit such a one, that would be right for me. And no, I don’t just want to put on FM transmitters. The car also has no cassette recorder. I am happy about every helpful comment.

  • Parking help sluggish – Update?

    Since Sensus 3 the APC is known to be extremely sluggish. Wants to mean, if you drive away from an obstacle, especially the front still beeps several seconds continuously (the optical shows right now). Since the problem with Sensus 2 did not exist, I ask myself: will this be fixed at some point with an update? always new updates come and in this respect absolutely nothing does! is that perhaps not possible with VCC? – can not actually be, right?

  • BC Consumption calculation

    Hello, it is well known here how the BC calculates the current, average consumption and the range. With me it happens again and again that the current consumption is displayed very differently (depending on the load and driving mode), but this does not directly affect the DS consumption and the range indication. Which distance lengths are then used for the latter values? Olaf

  • Track rod and head Volvo 850 renew costs

    Hello, was then also today in the workshop and looked under my car. The master said that the track rods and the heads are finished. Wonders me, since the car does not pull in correctly when braking. What can such a repair cost? Both sides should be changed. Achsvermessung and setting also comes to it!? What does that cost? Thanks for the help ….

  • Volvo C70 Cabrio diesel, 2011 / Engine in emergency run

    Good evening, dear Volvo community, I drive a Volvo C70 convertible diesel, 2011 year, and 270,000 km mileage. For three weeks I have been carrying my Volvo from one workshop to another around Gelsenkirchen. The Volvo dealer could only offer me an appointment for KW 04/2025. However, I can’t wait that long. In the appendix the error list: The following components have already been replaced in this order, but the error is still there: Gas pedal engine control unit ASR-Ven til throttle valve Has anyone had similar problems? What helped? 🙂 Best regards, MehmeTmitTee

  • Refurbishment of headlamp cleaning system V70 I

    Hello dear Volvo municipality, I have a question about my moose again. Have to change now in my vacation before the normal bumpers to the variant of the cross country. Now the problem! The CC has a standard headlight cleaning system, my V70 unfortunately not. Had to get before the cover caps of vParts from Sweden, according to support they fit only to the “normal” bumpers. Therefore my question, can I upgrade the system without much effort? seen above the headlights are each red plug that lie free. Hope something like Plug&Play. LG Kai

  • V 70 1 hand brake

    Hello guys. I hope you’re all doing well. Does anyone know you with the handbrake from the V70, Bj.99 2.4 Turbo?? It makes me despair. It pulls on both sides badly, right with a slight bang and quite suddenly. The pads are fine, I set them too. Feathers are also ok. Now I’ve disassembled both sides twice already and slowly don’t know any more. Thanks already in advance for advice.
