  • Timing belt changes?!

    Hello! A short question to the experts… A friend from Norway has an S80 2.0T (model year 2000, turbo-petrol with 180hp) and is coming to visit his parents here in Tyskland soon… He is usefully trying to combine this with the inspection of the elk, which is probably due for inspection book at 150,000km and here is cheaper than in the far north (I also suspect that the Volvo dealer there does not know him at all, since he always has his work done here… a 1100km back and forth to my gas retrofitter, even if there is nothing and he does so with the normal inspections… ). Now it probably also says in the same booklet that the timing belt should be changed at 160,000km… If he would rarely go to Germany, he would have everything done in one go anyway… But he is here in the fall anyway and therefore the question is: is the change of the timing belt really considered at 160,000km (and therefore detached from d he inspection), or did he read something wrong. He now also thinks about having the inspection done at 160,000km (10,000km more make the cabbage not fat and he doesn’t drive so much)… Bye, Dirk (who is wondering when his own moose actually wants/must?!)

  • Charging air coolers

If someone has an idea or possibly another one lying or knows where I get a cheap one except with the friendly one. Because he really wants to see Taler for it.

  • Change gear oil – yes or no ??

    hello together, how does it look with the change of the transmission oil from ? should you do that or not ? if yes, from which running power ?? I ask, because I actually think it makes sense to renew also the oil of the transmission – (in my case a v70 II MJ 2006, switch, diesel, 120 ps) now anch 150,000 km times. with my previous questions at the dealer and also other workshops it was called “as long as the transmission does not lose oil or can be badly switched-no change!” I have no ineligible problems with the gearbox, but fresh oil can not hurt or prevents certainly higher wear ?! to stimulate, tips and also well-founded recommendations I would be grateful. alex

  • What’s wrong with Volvo XC 90 T6?

    have a Volvo XC 90 Bj 03 with 137,000 km. That was all broken: transmission, a turbocharger, turbo valves, exhaust, headlight washing system 2x, horn, key, sliding roof, boot blind, and now also the Navi is over. Quite a lot for such a “Billigauto”. All damages outside of the warranty and without culling solution to pay fully. arrivederci Volvo!…

  • Kaufberatung V70 III 2015-2016

    Now that I like to drive my V40 (2003) also with the help of the MotorTalk community for many years, a new moose is to come. The model of choice would be a V70 D3 or D4 – budget up to 18,000 euros, 15,000 euros would be optimal => Euro 6 as a precautionary measure – low maintenance costs (previously 1.9 D with 5 l average consumption) – repair costs minimal (previously about 300 euros per year incl. tires at 20,000 km/year) Automatic and diesel are set. e underground garage ramp is steep and certainly does not comply with the standard. The V40 likes to put on the towing hook and it needs not only good driving technology but also the hand brake insert. Therefore, I am interested in the embankment angle and the ground clearance of the V70. With the right numbers I would also be helped (street between tire center and bumper or spoiler lip and the indication of the distance between ground and spoil rib or bumper.) An alternative family combi would be the Octavia III (13,4° angle of slope, but also a long overhang ahead). – Sport package: does this always mean lowering the V70? Maybe I will be helped here, in the Volvo operating instructions and technical specifications I searched for in vain. Thank you very much for the last years!

  • Preheating problems

    Hello together, first of all congratulations to this great forum. Here you get really very helpful information about self-help, really great. Currently I have a problem, however, that I could not find here in this form in the search in the forum so yet: I recently got a VW Phaeton 3.0 TDI year 2011. It was important to me that he has a heater. With previous VWs of me I had problems with the preheating more often, since it was always the circulating pump the defe kt was with the clear symptoms that the heating starts and if the hot water can not circulate the heating switches off completely. Currently I have the problem that twice in the morning after I had activated the heating with remote control (first LED orange wg. Weak battery??? Then green), although the ventilation was on, the green symbol in the tachometer lit up but the heater itself did not give any muck and the air that was out of the ventilation Then I tried to activate the heater over the RNS 810 when the engine was not switched on, but nothing happened. Then I tried it by remote control, even here nothing happened at least after a few minutes, even the green symbol in the rev indicator did not work. Then I turned on the motor of the Phaeton, after that I could activate the heater over the menu in the RNS 810. I ran the vehicle for some time, it came warm e air from the ventilation and then I switched it off again. The heater further ventilated the interior, the green LED in the rev indicator lit and at the front of the left wheel box was occasionally a whirring sound and it smelled like diesel. The air that came out of the ventilation was then cold again. Then I switched off the heater again. I have read that the heater can also be dirty and therefore does not work, but also that the board de It seems to me as a layman that the heater does not ignite, can it also be a board error or do you have a different idea? It is clear that it is only possible to say this finally when a diagnostic device has been connected and experts have looked at it but if necessary someone from you had very similar problems with the heater. I would be very grateful for feedback from you. Many greetings Christian
