Good Tach, my good old man has been running his exhaust gas into the cabin instead of the rear pipe for some time in the stand. A Volvo workshop diagnosed after a look “crazy leak and silencer broken – 130€”. I was then in my very appreciated self-help workshop and there was found that actually very little exhaust gas comes out of the exhaust (comparison with other existing cars). An obvious (visible or noticeable) leak in the dump (the Stach) This is why I would like to change the silencer for the first time and then see if something changes. But now the question arises, how expensive should I buy the spare exhaust, 50€ in the bay or it is worth taking the from Volvo for 330. My old Swede is not the youngest anymore, but I care for it and think it is actually pretty good in the shot (came also last without complaining through TÜV). Also: There is something with the change). Thank you as always for your help!

Persistent unknown dirt on windshield
Since I bought the Volvo XC70 1.5 years ago, I have the problem that my windshield on the driver’s side is heavily slammed. Interestingly, until the second wiper for the passenger’s side gets there. A picture says more than 1000 words so I attached one. Anyway, this is really dangerous because the view is very limited in the first few minutes after driving away. So what have I done about it: I drove into the washing machine. Mounted wipers from Bosch. I used SONAX washersPolitur intensively, brake cleaner, fuel and flushing water. None of this has even improved the problem, it shows no effect at all. Where does the fogging come from and what could be done about it?

ABS Sensor Alternative
Hello dear ones. My name is Thomas and I’m new here. I have almost no idea about forums. So don’t be angry with me if I don’t stick to the customs. If this happens to me, I’d be happy if you would draw my attention to it 😉 Now to my problem. I have a Mitsubishi Lancer V Station Wagon. A combo with automatic g-drives. Year of manufacture 01. 2000. Key numbers: 7107/253. Engine capacity and power: 1.6i 113 HP. A GLXI. The ABS sensor is during the wheel When trying to remove it before the repair, the carrier plate disengaged from the ABS sensor which was heavily rotted in the hole. Since then, it has been dead. No resistance can be measured anymore. Probably the coil is defective. I don’t get a new sensor via the accessories. Only for the Lancer 6 and for the Lancer 5 only for the rear right and only from year 06. 2003. Mitsubishi wants to have 232€ for the sensor. Since after expensive repairs someone has already driven me twice, h With the previous repairs I would then be at over 1000€. I buy it from Mitsubishi. But first I would like to ask if someone knows if an ABS sensor from another Mitsubishi Lancer could fit. If the plug is different, I can cut it off and connect it directly to the cable. If the sensor is a little longer, I can certainly also lower it with washers. I would like to find answers to these questions. I’m so happy.

Alternator defective R56
Hello all, I have a Mini R56, built in 2013 with 98 hp. Running power about 105,000 km. Diagnosis of the workshop: 1. Problem: alternator defective. Estimate exchange with installation of a new alternator 720 Euro. Pure cost of the alternator 525 Euro, minus 20% discount is still 420 Euro (however discount).What do you think about it? If I search online for new alternators for my car model cost all under 200 Euro and as I understand that are also n eue. Then probably no original components or? Do such other components make sense? 2. Problem: iwas with air conditioning problematic. I had a climate service made last year and for that the cooling liquid, which is still in the car, is clearly too low. That is, I should now pay attention to whether the performance of my air conditioning system continues to deteriorate. Therefore second (more incidental) question: Are there simply problems in this period now and it would be sensible Iler, maybe to sell the car?

Conversion to natural gas: Does anyone know anything about it?
Hello everyone, has someone here already converted his moose to natural gas or knows something about it? I am interested in retrofitters and costs. Sure that it will be much more expensive than a conversion to LPG, but CNG should be much more effective (energy content 1.5/KG at CNG to 0.8 at LPG). With the consumption of my S80T6 a conversion to LPG would only make sense with a huge tank of minimum 100L, otherwise I would have to show up too often with the tank. In this case, however, I would have a You don’t feel like LPG at all, because – I prefer to drive rather than constantly refuel 🙂 Does anyone know a retrofitter in NRW? Can that even Frank Scan? Maybe even with original Volvo parts? Thank you very much in advance and a merry christmas Kai

serviceplan XC70
hello, I have been eagerly reading here for some time and have already been able to bring many useful things around my desired car xc70 in experience; many thanks to everyone! at a volvo dealer in Austria there is currently a used xc70 with 115,000 km (ez: 11/2003); question: which service is due soon and how expensive will that probably be?; and when is a timing belt change due? the dealer says only at approx. 160000 km; is that true? and something else: the valve cover seal has already been changed twice (he should have sweated..) and the angle gear (?) has already been changed; hands off or no problem? the car looks optically like new; was certainly very cared for and gentle driving (at least that’s how it works). many thanks in advance for your help leni11 here a short introduction: I come from Austria, drive at the time vw passat, toyota landcruiser and mercedes e; in the past I had already two volvos (740 and 960) ; for reasons of space (as soon as 3 children) I separate myself from my vw and toyota and want to get an xc70.

Blis
Hello all XC fans with BLIS, for explanation, this article should definitely not make BLIS bad! I would order it again immediately at my next vehicle! BLIS works 95% correct with me. But unfortunately also 5% false indications: 1. BLIS lights up when I drive on the left lane of the highway, although no other vehicle is behind me or next to me. 2. BLIS often lights up when I drive in the rain. 3. BLIS lights up when the sun shines directly into the lens for a bite l by a reflection etc. I have already received 3 times from the friendly a set of new exterior mirrors (the last directly from the work). Did anyone have such experiences from you?

Buttons/switches for the SH in the V70
Greetings. In short, I will introduce myself as soon as I have picked up the moose Saturday, but until then be allowed to plan please One of the things I want to change is the installation of a seat heater. Currently I am thinking about whether I should take an original Volvo, or the alternate for installation under the lining of Waeco … or just the edition variant of ATU. Be it like I would like to work with the original buttons to use the SH. Since Kruathahn from Berlin at the moment probably I don’t want to answer, no matter if it’s about buttons or heaters, I would like to ask you here in the round. In the photo you see exactly where the blind plug is currently sitting and actually the SH operator has to come in. Question: Where do I get the two switches, and do you think they are adapt without stress to the Waeco solution (e.g.) ? Greeting in the round the Tom

Engine indicator lamp
The following problem: For months (sporadically) the engine control lit up. Despite many workshop visits no permanent solution. Result of the fault diagnosis varies (cooling agent, ignition coil and Lambda probe) Therefore, in addition to the Lambda probe also the control unit (is that so?) of the display was replaced. Result: as usual. Recently, however, directly after the ignition, the valve lighting flickers and all needles quickly hit back and forth to the stop. soon I move the vehicle it is normal, with the exception of the indicator lamp for the motor electronics, which lights and lights and lights . . . . At later, further starts during the day no problems (except for the motor lamp) I think that the replacement of the parts was already unnecessary, or what do you mean? Can someone give me advice?
