  • Time delay relays

    Hi, have seen in the circuit plan that the headlight washing system is running over a so-called ‘time delay relay’. What exactly does this have to do? With my headlight washing system, there is no ‘time delay’: if I use the window washing system when the light is switched on (it happens more often at the moment), water is sprayed directly on the headlights, and immediately and for as long as I have pulled the switch. That can’t really be right, think e me, because by the fact that the headlight washing system has completely a lot of liquid out I have a animally high water and disc cleaner consumption and also the whole front car is so slow with window cleaner, so that it starts foaming with every moisture of itself. Greeting, guitarno

  • Battery for Space Star select +

    I don’t think I’ll need a new car battery for the next 5 years, but I still want to know for the sake of interest which battery, preferably Bosch battery, would be suitable for this vehicle? If you had a link to where to buy and see the batteries with dimensions and as a start stop would be really great. I find the original battery quite high. Is there actually German batteries that could be installed immediately from the dimensions? Thank you for your effort Greetings Hans In the picture the original battery

  • Front side blinker

  • With rust to the TÜV

    Moin, do I have a chance with the bike running during the main examination? How are your experiences in this regard and who has had this repaired? So this is the only lack that caused me to break my head. Except for a defective fuel pump, a missing tank filler and a holed pre-muffler pipe nothing should stand in the way of the main examination. I’m just not sure if I repair everything except the bike running around then with the rust after all no new badge What would you do? Greeting dor ponti

  • Checking the teeth with the petrol engine 2.5

    Hello, I drive a V70 2,5, 170hp, motor B5244S. EZ Dec 2001, mileage 139000. Recently I made an appointment for the 140000km inspection and the friendly one explains to me that the timing belt is also examined prophylactically. In addition, only the artificial cover is removed so that one can see the timing belt. In order to be able to take a picture of myself the question to the forum. How can one recognize a worn tooth belt? can it be oily or discoloured? Is there a minimum thickness that can be measured? Is Abbrieb permitted? Or maybe someone can answer how much of the B5244S of the timing belts fails before 160000km. With water pump and timing belts the inspection costs 1100,00 Euro. Of course, I only want to do this if it is necessary. Thank you Rolloff

  • In general: what is a “winter car”?

    Moin, so under a summer car I imagine a fast convertible or ‘oldtimer’. But honestly, I have no idea what you mean by a winter car. Can you please enlighten me? Thank you Christian

  • Interior colour code – leather refresher

    Hello everybody, I spent some time yesterday again and cared for the interior of my V60. Since the seats are slowly coming to an age and the preoccupied woman didn’t know the word “care”, it’s time to do some minor repairs in one place or another. Now hang on to the right color. The interior code is KT60 (Mj 13, R-Design), but so you can’t find a “name” of the color to order it. Maybe was someone from euc h already at that point and can help me? Thank you very much!

  • An Eastern Austrian workshop in Hungary

    Hello, since I live near the border with Hungary, it would offer to have future service and repair work done at a Volvo workshop in Hungary. Since services are much cheaper than in Austria, the bill could be cheaper. The question is whether the quality of the work is appropriate. Does anyone have experience with it? Thanks Urwi

  • Motor damage X17DTL – Age weakness?

    After a loud noise in the engine compartment (sounded as if I had switched off) the engine went out. After checking the timing belt (was healing) and the camshaft, I tried to get started. It also sounded as if he was coming back (starter turned), but at the decisive moment nothing happened. I called the ADAC, but the good man gave up after about 20 minutes. He continued to work. He finally dragged me to the next Opel workshop. The first diagnosis was: 4 tilting levers broken. Next they wanted to take the cylinder head down. I asked that you check the settings of the tooth belt beforehand. The next diagnosis was: timing belt settings okay, valves not damaged (just), 4 piston eaters, 2 piston rings broken and damage to the belt. On the question of the cause, I could not be informed. Just one guess: Diesel pump defective – too much injected – valve did not open – tipping lever broken. Wouldn’t the engine have had to turn up before the exit? I have doubts that the damage is directly related after I have heard that with a colleague (same machine) also 2 tipping levers would have said goodbye. Is this age weakness? Who knows each other with this M otor out? The repair costs are high, a replacement engine is too expensive, a used complete replacement engine (e.g. from an accident car) I could not find so far. Who has a complete engine with diesel pump and turbocharger lying or can tell me where I can get one?
