Question about rear dampers at the 850er
In principle, I had agreed that the tailgate doesn’t go very high. Only my wife constantly bumps her head into it, which leads to constant annoyance. At my buddy, who has the same car, I noticed yesterday that the tailgate rises at least 10 cm higher. I can easily stand under there. Are there various dampers? The current ones I had installed 7 years ago, I had you from FT-Albert.

Change brake discs and pads themselves
Hello everyone, even if the topic “change brake discs themselves” is often viewed in an ambivalent way, since this is a safety aspect, it is one of these activities, which can be handled with craftsmanship, the right tool and best with appropriate instructions in word and image quite easily. I have already done this on the rear axle. Now I have to change brake discs and pads on the front axle. The Haynes is already there as a pdf, but I hope that there are a few specialists who have a workshop manual with the sector “brake disks” for my tank. This is a 850 2.5 10V automatic combi, year 06/1996. Thank you very much. I’m happy to be able to help you with this.

Air conditioning no longer cools properly despite refilling
Hello together, I had my Volvo V50 2.0d from 2004 carried out an air conditioning maintenance because it felt not so cool anymore. According to the workshop the system had been filled with 605 grams. This was checked for leakproofness and filled with 530 grams according to the sticker. At the first run in the workshop the mechanic said I had to drive only a few kilometers until the circuit cooled properly. Last year the system Sau became cold directly. With a thermometer at k The workshop of today had nothing to measure about the temperature and I should report if it should not get better. Today I measured at home with an infrared thermometer. At low just 20 degrees out of the ventilation. In addition, I just noticed that the air-conditioning lines used to be ice cold and were covered with condensation water and now lukewarm and no condensation water. Does anyone have an idea what I can do there? I would love he should leave with the maintenance, since before the cooling performance was clearly better. Really annoying Thank you

Heating: How warm does it have to be? Why does it switch off randomly?
Moin moin I know that the topic of preheating has already come up a dozen times, but aich did not find an answer to my specific question in the search. My Phaeton TDI is built in 11/2011 and is moved every day to work and back just under 100km. I would like to have the following questions regarding the preheating: – If I activate it exactly what should they have achieved after the full run time of 45 min? Only warm the interior or also increase the engine temperature? And which values should we achieve? rden? How warm should it be inside and how warm should the engine be? – Can I influence the warmth of the interior if, for example, I set the heater to max on the eve and turn on the ventilation nozzles or does it have no influence? – I was on the road for a few days on business and the Phaeti was standing unmoved. The next morning the heater did not jump on and I had an indication because of low voltage or something. I then drove a lap and then it ran late it again, – this morning it was so that the preheating went through but when I wanted to turn on again after 45 minutes test time it was no longer possible. Does the preheating constantly need electricity from the battery? The voltage pointer stands with me on 14 thanks for tips 🙂

Central latch broken again!
Hello Leidensgenossen, had problems with the central locking system about 2 months ago. [url=http://www.motor-talk.de/…/…ioniert-nur-zwischen-t1693669.html?…[/url] At that time it was enough to pop some plastic particles out of the lock (attachment). It went again without problems. Had now the thickness in the workshop for TÜV/AU. A lot was/must be done – the sum however led to immediate nausea. Have it now for 3 days again – since today Central lock again o. function! This time, however, there are no plastic particles left, which block the lock – lock is also fully greased.The following situation: Close lock FT or remote intrusion: ZV without reaction, close windows when open Connect with FB or manell lock FT: only locking tailgate opens (!), if previously manually locked and all actuators make quiet noise – but no reaction to the pins, blinker flashing tailgate with S cleussel: Motor tailgate is operated manually – no electrical reaction/support Then had the door panel off – when pulling the PIN of the driver door the actuator is moved manually. If it is up, it twitches briefly and is pulled down (electrically) about 1 – 2 mm again! Can anyone else help me? Do not want to change the control unit ZV on suspicion, since it was the same symptoms last time, just by removing the plastic particles fixed If so, how much does such a steering part cost me? Can it also lie at the lock of the driver’s door? Thank you already in advance – slowly the omi blows up any financial and fantastic frame! Christian

The steering column control unit of my Phaeton has interrupted the ignition.
Nothing works any more. But without “detonation” the reading of the ECUs does not work via the interface. There should be an emergency function that allows access to the ECUs without which the ignition is active. To do this, some conditions must be met. E.g. on warning indicators, turn ignition keys right-left or similar. Can anyone help me how this emergency function is activated? Greeting GT

New tuner in the country
Hello dear Volvo municipality to all those who are looking for power there is a tuner who gets exactly as much power as the guys from Karlsruhe or Darmstadt the tuner( Mega Speed) near Düsseldorf after a long time I decided to optimize my Volvo S80 T6 ( 286 HP ) at .The best tuning I have experienced so far and these are some known. After a detailed conversation there was a before/after measurement on the performance test stand since I already had a two i have modified things with my Volvo ( 3 inch downpips and exhaust pipe without medium pot ,modified intake with sports air filter ) the input measurement yielded a power of 306.2 hp after chip tuning the subsequent measurement yielded it a power of 360,7 hp and the V max lock has been lifted so my moose now runs over 265 km/h according to GPS and that already over 20tkm. So I am completely satisfied and that at a price of 699.- Euro with the measurement you can certainly not complain . The ones in Darmstadt wanted 1200 euros and only for the V max lock. The ones in Karlsruhe have held me half a year and have given me no appointment does nothing but as I said I am now even glad that it has come this way and I have found a new tuner. P.s.: The torque has risen to 520 Nm so you can feel it right what is going on. Pictures I will try to upload) Mfg 132
