  • The New in the Forum

    A friendly hello to everyone here. Wanted to introduce myself briefly. I am Buerste and since mid-January proud owner of a Volvo S80 2.0T!!!! Come from the most beautiful city in Germany, maybe even from all over the world!!!! And I have to say, this car is just Gigantic. I know here in this community like to see pictures, but at the moment it is not really presentable yet. I bought the vehicle with slight damage and I want to see it. so I’m looking forward to a nice time with you like-minded Ciao Buerste

  • Filter Change etc

    Hello dear community, As you can read above, I would like to do more myself on my Volvo Xc 60 year of construction 2014 and not throw more money into the workshop for it. Unfortunately I find almost nothing about maintenance work. Except from the interior filter, there are videos and descriptions. Does anyone have any information about this or can give me tips? I still know from my parents a repair manual but I also don’t have such a thing found or probably there will be no such thing. Thanks for it. Greetings

  • XC60 – Communication disorders in underground garages

    Hello Volvo friends, I turn to the swarm intelligence, as my Volvo car dealership cannot explain the following: I have my XC60-D4 (model year 2012) now almost 7 years 130,000 km, was planned from the beginning as a 10-year car. So far hardly any problems – except that the rear brakes always have to be renewed after 40,000. Since 2020 the car has an underground car blues. This is expressed by the fact that it is now 3 times in different underground garages to a complete union the communication came on the high-speed bus. 2 times the car didn’t start, but a whole cascade of error messages was displayed. 1x the malfunctions occurred while driving slowly in the underground garage. Helped: car off, 10 minutes wait, then everything went again. Once for 2 days the fault indicator at the top left “abgases”, but then also went out again. The Volvo workshop listened to my descriptions first unbelievingly, the assembler said after boarding and nd Driving: it’s a great shot. But the reading of the error memory then resulted in some communication problems of all possible ECUs, invalid data of ECUs, then at the end several times “DEM-U000188 bus”. However, an origin could not be recognized, since the selection list unfortunately shows no date clock time. As mentioned above: so far only in underground garages. My first suspicion goes towards reflection of signals -EMS (electromagnetic disturbance), since the environment i n underground parking is pure reinforced concrete. Maybe it is also something completely different? The workshop certainly has no explanation – “we have never had before”. Maybe someone knows it … In advance thank you for your contributions erde9

  • v50 1.6D and 2.0D Purchase Advice/Recommendation Vulnerabilities

    Hi there, I’ve only driven BMW so far and my girlfriend and I are thinking of adding a V50. It’s absolutely a diesel model. I’m interested in the 1.6D (109ps) and 2.0D (136ps). I’ve already read a lot, but I still don’t get that smart. Some report that the 1.6 (especially the first) should be more vulnerable. What exactly is more vulnerable to the engine? What are the flaws in these engines and what should you pay special attention to? eide motors from Peugeot ? and both motors timing belts? What are the weaknesses of the model V50 in general? Thank you in advance.

  • Buy the “old” V70 or wait for the new one?

    Hello people! So today I was at the dealer and I looked at the current V70. Not quite fresh but with top ergonomics. Since I read that the coming V70 up to the B-pillar is identical with the S80, I put it in the same way. I have to say of the seating comfort the “old” V70 is a lot better. Especially the wide center console is always in my way. Also the Nordberg sports seats in the V70 Edition model are much more comfortable than the leather seats in the S8 0 (summary). Also in the “old” V70 you are so nicely converted, the security feeling is missing in the “new”. The reason why I demand here is that the “old” V70 from the space offer (on the back seat and the low trunk) is almost too small for me. The new one is to become bigger. Is that true? Currently I drive a loading master (Opel Vectra Caravan -> current model). If the new really gets bigger, I am hard to think if I should wait. What do you mean? Age or newer? would you buy? Motorically I introduce with the D5 (185hp) with AT6.

  • Conversion analog TV to DVB-T

    Hello dear fellow combatants, actually the topic is already quite through; but the search function does not bring me any further. Therefore again a few questions. In my V10 is still the old analog TV tuner installed. After changing the transmission frequencies the reception was of course gone in Germany. After the research here in the forum I changed the input plug on the old tuner. (empty blue disk out and the Dietz 1230 connected with the other existing blue disk) and I bought and connected a small DVB-T receiver. I connected the outputs of the receiver with the audio-cinch inputs of the Dietz 1230 (Cinch red and Cinch white) the video output from the receiver then connected with one of the two blue Cinch plugs from the Dietz and already looked forward to the TV image. But …… nothing arrives. I don’t get into the menu-guide from the Digi receiver and when I look at the screen in TV mode, I have the impression that the DVB -T signal does not arrive at all; but still the old analog signal. Have I forgotten something??? Would be nice if you could take care of it. Dear greetings from the Bergische Land DK

  • I did..Omega bought 2.5 V6.

    Moin, I’ve improved a little… and given me an Omega. This morning I’ll pick him up, then on Monday there’s an appointment with the gas retrofitter. May the cracker be with me!! Photos of the gas conversion follow as soon as the car is back with me!!

  • Help I’m so inexperienced

    Hello, since I inherited an Astra from opel in 2003 I am convinced and would like to buy a Opel Omega 1997 2.5l V6 Caravan the car has run 165,000km! Optic 1a but what should I pay attention to what are common mistakes, flaws, etc. How is the consumption? According to information for combined 10,5l but that seems to me quite little for nen 6 Zylinden! With kind regards D. Wilkenda’s honored object

  • High Performance Soundsystem – Center LS?

    Hello everyone. I’m recently owner of a beautiful Volvo C70 T5 Built 2011. It’s a US import. I have a question about the high performance sound system. I’ve read that this one does not have a center speaker, as it only exists in the premium system. However, I seem to have a speaker in the front panel (see picture). Or is there something completely different underneath?? Second question. I don’t have a subwoofer behind the rear seat. Now I have to get everything and take it into account so that I can connect the original ones of Volvo? Is the current power amplifier enough or does one still have to be switched between the current and the power amplifiers on the subwoofers? Thank you in advance for your answers. LG

  • Hole in the plunger

    Hi. A friend of mine has a Vectra combo with the X20XEV in it. Now he has a hole in the piston. Must have happened through the spark plug. I don’t know more exactly. The piston is not fixed but rotates still busy with, but just zero compression. My question, can you change the piston, repair it or should you look for a new engine? MfG Dennis
