  • V6 TDI – Engine damage at 150,000 km plausible?

    Hello to all, 3 days ago suddenly on the highway at 180 km/h strong jerking in the engine and no more power in my V6 TDI. Before never encountered problems with the engine. Immediately stopped and tow to the next VW car dealership. However no error indication and also at the following reading in the car dealership no messages in the error memory. Today call from the car dealership: 2 spark plugs have broken off and parts of it fell into the engine. Engine was probably hard besc Compression in cylinders equal to 0. Further statements are possible only after the cylinder head has been removed, which should cost only up to 23 working hours and 3500,- Euro. Probably a replacement motor is then needed. Now I ask myself, of course, whether this is realistic. I don’t know the car dealership and I have never been a customer there. I’m a bit perplexed at the moment as something like this can happen with a Phaeton V6 TDI. Especially since I regularly inspect a VW Autoh The vehicle was never heated or even kicked to the stop, but always treated carefully. Now I am thinking about whether the investment in an exchange engine at my MJ 96 is still worth it at all. Sure it is a beautiful vehicle but the replacement engine will probably exceed the market value significantly. If anyone still has an idea that I don’t think of right now, I am happy about the feedback En. Greetings capdoc

  • “WL-…. 1959 ” taillights or tailgate defective???

    Moin, yesterday a GP3 (already with darker rear lights) with the annular license plate (it is missing in the specification consciously of the middle letters, maybe he/she reads here with a hint) before me. Maybe one of you also knows the driver….. At the same time the rear lights looked very strange. The LEDs in the rear lid were only very weak, or were darker than the outer lights. The strangest thing was that when the lights were slowed down, the lights went in the suitcase. but the light in the fenders burned normally. It looked nice, instead of looking at the “m” just a bow, but there’s something wrong: I would have thought, ok, mass problem with an older car (not Phaeton). But with a GP3 and then still with LED, how can something like that come. is the wiring to the trunk eaten or broken or what could that be, or, has someone ever seen something like that? Many greetings kt14101

  • Mv6 cylinder head question

    hi, after a long abstinez I ended up here again after years, and only because I have problems with my omega…. for years was quiet. but he has now started to consume cool water and coughed on a cylinder in the mornings. so let go of the replacement omega and started to disassemble the big one. after now the heads are down, I unfortunately had to find out that next to the completely rotted head seal also unfortunately a small notch from the cooling circuit in the combustion room of the 6 cylinder is. could be that the notch is 2-3/10 mm deep. now the questions: how far can one plan the cylinder head from the x30xe? do both heads have to be planned? how does this behave with the parts between the heads as the angle between the two changes? or rather just get a replacement head and is good? the stroller now has 155tkm down and is still too bad to throw away. thank you in advance for your answers. greetings andreas

  • DSTC probably defective!

    Hi, yesterday I was once again on a driving safety training of the ADAC. Incidentally, during this training there was an absolutely identical XC90 V8 with identical tyres (Pirelli Ice&Snow) and even the same profile depth there. At the last driving training one year ago I had massive problems with the V8 in the watered circular track: the vehicle broke out at the lowest speeds at the rear. At that time I pushed the rear tyres driven at the limit (1mm above the mark) N. Other XC90 (e.g. XC70D5) didn’t have this problem at the time either. This time exactly the same picture: My XC90 breaks out already from about 30 km/h HINTEN on the slip surface. And this is exactly what the DSTC is supposed to prevent, it regulates the wheels so that the car breaks out at best in the front. Also, the ADAC trainers have not been able to detect control action on the wheels! Since an identical comparison vehicle was there, we have the same driving situation with the other V8 gem eight: The car was also by force not to be moved to a rear outburst – the rule intervention was very fast and clearly visible. Even with the DSTC switched off (actually only reduced) there was no rear outburst to be generated in the comparison XC, but an earlier outburst at the front. In my case, there was no change at all with the DSTC switched off – the car also breaks out immediately at the rear! e to use the car in the front and e.g. not to let the tree that may be present hit the weaker side. And it doesn’t. And I did my first training a month after taking over the car – so it doesn’t work right since the beginning. There have never been any error messages in Vida. Ergo: I emailed my dealer the above description today and asked him to make a short-term bug fix with Volvo help. For me, this is a mistake in e in the security system completely unaccetable! Have a nice evening Jürgen

  • Which one should it be ??????

    Hello. Would like to buy me to my 740s a 850er. I looked at a 850er 2.5 – 20 V with 199000 Km and year 1994 and a 850 2.0 – 10V Bj 1995 and 217,000 Km. Both in very good condition. What would you advise me ? Where are there weak points ? On what must one pay special attention ? Would I look forward to your experiences . Giuseppe

  • Instructions for changing Aperture Radio wanted or: Man, I’m stupid

    Hello Together, can one of you provide me with a link to the exchange of the interior decor of my C70I (2004)? Unfortunately, my aperture on the radio is slightly scratched by my stupidity at the bottom left (you can’t imagine how much it annoys me). I just don’t know how to get the aperture out. I’ve already used the search, also what I found on the topic, but somehow not what I was looking for. My interior decor is probably the “inlays Alu matt” od Is there still the aperture on the radio at all? I have already looked in the bay, but not found under “C70”. Or does the aperture of the V70I fit into my convertible? In the V70 I have the wood decoration, which I find quite chic. I have read here somewhere that someone has followed his interior decoration at the V70(?). How are your experiences? Sorry, if something has already been written about this topic, I did not find it. Thanks for your answers!!!

  • Volvo is junk – what do I do now?

    Hello, since yesterday evening my V70 has been breathing in the back. Pointy load on the rear. My workshop thinks she wants to look at this, and said what about pulling with a “dotzer” (?), but I don’t think there’s anything more to get. What kind of dirt. Ironically, I had the chassis measured a week ago. That’s my first car, so I don’t know what I’m doing now? When he’s standing in the workshop, what then? It just bothers me that he /eig “Oh, that’s a shame to him.” But he’s not driving anymore, because the bike is grinding. I don’t have a place to slaughter him, either. But for 200 € to a card dealer…? What do you do now? Och Mönsch.

  • Alternator defective

    My otherwise so reliable elk was caught. In the middle of the cityFahrt ran out of electrics shortly afterwards, also the power steering which made it not quite harmless. Workshop diagnosis: alternator inside completely defective. Belt tensioner in addition and with working time roundabout 1000 Euro. My elk is top maintained 2012 S60 D3 R-Design 135,000km. Workshop means a normal wear phenomenon. Only I wonder, can it really be? If this is on the AB at 130+ km/h It’s going to fix, of course, but it’s hard to find…

  • HDD High Performance Multimedia HDD

    Hello together, soon I will finally drive my first Volvo, a V60 business from 2016. So first hello to the round, I hope I don’t have to be a guest in the future often with problems in this forum But I may start with a question: Despite intensive search I have not managed to find out the disk size of the internal memory. Who can help me? Thank you and many greetings lowend05

  • “Decreased engine power”

    Hello …today on the highway suddenly came an error message “Decreased engine power” and I couldn’t give any more gas! I drove immediately on the road and the ignition switched off and started again. The error message was gone and the engine power is back to normal! Do I have to watch in the garage or sometimes rather see if it happens again? Gruss and Merci Fabian
