  • V70 Bj2003 – Usable tyre sizes

    Hello, have already collected some information from the net, but can not find any binding information so far. Therefore, please contact us. Question: Where does it say, which tire sizes I can use besides in the car ticket on my V70, Bj end of 2003? Unfortunately, this is not in my operating instructions. In the car ticket is only 205/55 R16. But I would like to use my old 205/50 R16 on steel rims. Is this possible? Thanks for any input.

  • Escort just went out.

    Hello, My Escort tournament Mk7 BJ98 went out during the ride yesterday. he took off once again no more gas. Since then he no longer starts. I checked the emergency switch in the footroom now and all the fuses that are in the footroom. I also held the spark plugs with another spark plug on mass, sparks come! I have the feeling that the petrol pump, which buzzes briefly, when you turn on the ignition is now louder and sounds different, but I can also do it. uschen. How can I proceed now to get to the bottom of the matter ? Thank you already in advance ! Good slide

  • Match Tacho Deviation

    Hello! Everyone certainly knows the speed deviations with his car, which has used an external navigator. I haven’t experienced a car yet, at which the speed is only approximately the same as the speedometer indicator. Also from factory, independent of tyres etc. With our V60 it is constant 5 km/h, another factory commutes between 9 and 12 km/h or e.g. 7 with a Galaxy. Always under the display well noticed, therefore of course no drama. Has someone already dealt with it, there are at the Volvo dealer the possibility to adjust here? Shouldn’t be witchcraft I think. Otherwise I found tools such as the Speedohealer, which makes little sense if the workshop does this quickly. And I don’t like to install any foreign components, because it is also not worth time/money.

  • D5 Diesel tank How is that possible?

    Hello guys, I already had a fuel supply problem for the fourth time in a short time. As soon as the diesel sinked at a certain level in the tank (board computer showed residual sprite for approx. 240 to 280km) the engine switched off with the message “motor maintenance required”. Tank felt and errors away. A diesel filter exchange did not bring any improvement. Why did it always happen at similar fuel level? I suspected pollution in the tank and removed the tank, but in the tank There was no dirt to see. I removed the diesel residue and cleaned the hoses on the tank with compressed air and renewed the diesel filter for the second time. Now it seems to be OK again. The tank splits into two halves. Does anyone know what principle the tank works according to? Where could I read it. thank you for your contributions

  • Tip to buy V70 D5 Built 9/2002

    Hello together, short to my situation – driving enthusiastically, for almost 10 years, a 850 Kombi(Bj.1996), 144 hp, gasoline, with meanwhile 300,000 km. I bought the car in 1999 used with already 150,000 km (company car). The engine still runs great, but otherwise it cracks in all corners, cross-overs/joint shafts (x times exchanged), shock absorbers etc. make themselves already violently noticeable and the extras rise slowly (climate nail defective, seat heating defective etc.) whereby the Before the summer vacation I am thinking about buying (used) a V70 D5 – the test reports from the time (2002-2004) seem to confirm the usual reliability of Volvo. I just don’t know what it looks like with the used now after 6 years. I have seen an offer from a Volvo dealer on the internet, what interests me: V70 D5 Built 9/2002 163 PS 107000 km maintenance made at 100000 km switching gear With the 850er I drove mostly short distance during the week, with a diesel I have no experience. Now I need a few experience values: 1. Is the offer acceptable to some extent? 2. With a diesel (especially in winter) mostly short distance driving – do I get problems compared to the petroler? 3. What do I have to watch out for with the V70 D5 from this year of construction? I don’t have any detailed information about the V70 yet. First of all, I would be very grateful if you could give me a few hints that I can use to catch up with. Thank you Reiner

  • Punch on the moose: Volvo 850, S70, V70, C70

    Moin, I’ve been wanting to document for a long time what there are for ‘creative’ solutions for the moose. It’s not about the things that have their place in the Cuba thread (e.g. inliner ball bearings for the rope hoists) but rather about the weird things in which you shake your head. Of course, they can also work, the limits are certainly flowing. Above all, it’s about the P80. Here’s an example: 1: The bent wipers are already a classic; 2: The Covering the plus pole is probably an emergency solution; 3: Interesting also the damping of the ECU box; 4: Exciting also the lid of the wiper water filler socket; 5. I find the bypass line from the balancing tank to the front. Greetings Micha

  • Volvo V70 – 2012 Climate Compressor

    Hello Forum participants, Are you familiar with the V70’s climate compressor, if necessary the other series? What is it about: I had the V70 D3/D4 change the climate compressor at my Volvo workshop with 145 000 km from 2012 in the fall of 2023, as the existing compressor gave off loudly audible noise during operation. Diagnosis Warehouse damage/compressor coupling. That’s exactly how I don’t know anymore. The system has cooled until the end. The new compr after about 10000 km in September 2024, i.e. after a year, similar noises were made. The Volvo workshop has no explanation for this, but changed the compressor to bulancy and everything was good again. So, and now, at the end of December 2024 after not even 3000 km, the bulance compressor also starts to make noises. That can / must not be… What is going on here? Are you familiar with such phenomena? Does anyone have comparable experiences? Are the spare parts possibly. repaired old parts of the Volvo installed there? Maybe one or the other of you has something to say or write about it. I thank you in advance for the trouble.

  • What BR pipe?

    Hello, I have to ask another question about the Rockford Fosgate RFR 1410. I know the dimensions of the box now I just don’t know which dimensions the BR pipe has to have. I can’t quite read it out of the description. Can a more experienced one look at the description and tell me what kind of pipe I need?

  • Guns Domlager vo. right after change

    Hello people I have made today the cathedral bearings including shock absorbers and coupling bars in front new. Now I have the problem that it knarrs at the front right when steering. That was already like this before, but not so bad. It sounds like the rubber knuffle in the dome would turn along. Installation errors?? I did both sides exactly the same and on the left everything is quiet. I also thought about that once the dampers have been renewed and here was already a installation error. 1. Feather pure 2. Stopper with protective cover pure. 3. Feather plate pure. 4. Curved disc with opening downwards. 5. Domage 6. Shine with opening upwards 7. Mother on it. 8. After mounting the heelbone from the engine compartment side Large disc on it and then the 24er nut. Does this fit like this?
