  • How have you been satisfied with your Volvo workshop?

    Hello, I also make the thought of buying a Volvo V50 dependent on the workshop. In my region it does not look very good, on about 50 km just two dealers, one even tiny. There was not even the possibility to drive a Volvo V50 sample. If I take the track on me every time in case of a defect I still have to seriously consider how satisfied you have been with the competence of your workshop? A friend and former Volvo driver told me the car was fine, only the workshop was a disaster. Greetings JD

  • S60R no longer takes gas from 150km range on the AB??

    Hello guys, First of all, the search function has already tried, but unfortunately not really found an answer. The following problem, which has been repeated three times with my S60R. Autobahnfahrt mit Tempomat auf ca.150Km/h, range according to BC 150-200km, with the tank indicator does not yet light up the reserve. Activation of the gas pedal, no gas acceptance, a gear switched down also nix, at the breakdown strip rolled out, engine runs. put BC shows 130km range, the reserve lamp still doesn’t glow. According to refuelled quantity must still have been about 10l in the tank. After full refueling everything again OK. As far as I know, the R has a demand-controlled petrol pump and a feed pump, which need a certain min. quantity to work properly? Or is that just Volvo like.

  • Exchange piston rings or continue to use them?

    HAllo, I completely disassembled my EV engine and would like to reseal and store it now, I actually had to give the piston rings again, looked at autoteile.cc what such a set costs, are 166€, if I had imagined cheaper… Now the question: Should one necessarily give the rings new or can one use the old rings again without any problems?? (The compression values I measured half a year ago were ok (between 12,6 and 13,3bar on the pots) fan

  • Power loss Turbocharger with error code

    Hello, I have a problem with my V 70 2.5 TDI Bj.99 And the engine diagnostic light went into operation with simultaneous power loss, i.e.. I feel the turbocharger doesn’t run with..? Error reading there were 4 pieces solenoid valve exhaust gas return light main relay solenoid valve charging pressure control relay for additional heating group 1 and 2 Can anyone give me information where to start? Hang the errors possibly. together? You did not go to extinguish with connected diagnostic tester Can it be that the turbocharger gets too little air, because the intake manifold or hoses are close to the unburned soot? Because AGR valve is on the list..? Must say that I had to drive the car free three months ago on the highway, in front of an AU, until no black smoke could be seen. Can the cat also be the real cause? Look forward to help e by you. Akkil

  • Power eaters wanted

    Hello, my good 850er T5 loses energy. If the moose stands for 1 week, it stops with an empty battery. I have now measured 0.8 A at rest. I pulled one fuse after the other, each without any change. I’m rather perplexed. As an interim solution, he plays plug-in hybrid to keep him running. Does anyone have an idea? Gruss Roland

  • Rubber mats for XC 60

    Hello Volvo community, it’s happened in search of a compact SUV have landed again at Volvo. An XC 60 from 2011 with the D5 AWD and the 215 HP machine and the R-design. The car is well maintained, but will now have to endure a little more signs of wear in the long run with our two dogs. In addition, about Ebay there are various offers of rubber mats as a set of four from different suppliers. Has someone experience with it and can tell me What should I pay attention to? Or better buy from Volvo as original accessories? Thank you for your tips. Greeting Sheila
