  • Legal question V70 Order

    Hello municipality, I ordered a V70 D5. At the time of the order there were 215/55 16-wheels in the equipment package. I received the order confirmation on September 09. On September 18 the equipment package was changed and now there are only 205/55 16-wheels in the package. My question: What rights do I have, as they are reserved for technical changes. Can you give me concrete arguments? Thanks already now

  • Tyres leave on one side

    Servus, reported a few days ago about my axle problems. Tires front li drives off outside and right inside. Was now on Friday for inspection. It was determined that the track rod head and the steering lever have to be renewed. The master has offered me to make the whole for 200€. Everything incl. make or put your own hand? Is it advisable to perform this reperture on both sides, or is it okay if you first exchange the defective parts? Nice Sunday still, Max

  • Door panels and speaker cover

    I want to improve the performance of my music system, but it seems that the doors should be better insulated, so now the question, how do I get the door panels off of my V70 clean without damaging them? Besides, I want to install a subwoofer, and I was told that the right place for this is under the lattice for speakers in the dashboard. But I tried to make it out, but I didn’t manage to do it from below either, since you can’t get there because of the ventilation pipes. mt.So: How can I get the Gitter out? Thank you very much, Grß, Quade

  • Is Lima broken?

    Hello together…… have a short question to you. Yesterday I wanted to drive backwards to a driveway where such a poller was lying. the dinger you can lay down. I also thought that I fit over there because he was really not high. Unfortunately I thought wrong and I got stuck with the middle silencer. (see picture). On the car it looks worse than on the picture. So I motored out, key out and looked out. Then I suddenly realized that somewhere something is squirming and stinks, and saw that my battery light in the cockpit was shining, including armature lighting which was very weak on. Well, it was the lima the smoke and now seems to be defective. My question is, it was now a coincidence with the Lima or is it possible to push the exhaust through the push so far forward that he can rip off a cable? Since I somehow didn’t have much time I had to buy a new Lima. But first wanted to hear your opinion. oh yes the Lima the day before yesterday exactly 2 years old I thank you already greeting busracer

  • Battery (again) defective?

    Moin Gemeinde, my beloved elk (V70III, BJ2012), got a new battery in 2020. It should be a “Varta Sealed Lead Acid Start-Stop AGM 70 Ah 760 A (EN) E39”. From the basic data everything should fit. After about 6Mon. Start/Stop did not go any more. I did not investigate the reason, because this function bothers me anyway. Now, about 3 years later, the first warning messages in the combination (battery level low). How can this be? Is “Varta” not so high-valued anymore. ig? Which battery would have been the better whl? The original battery has held about 9 years…

  • Battery broken again after a year?

    Hello together! In December 2012 I received a new battery for our C (EZ 2008, 2,0d) around 160,-. So the battery is now quite exactly one year old. On Monday entered, did not start. Towing service called, with starter cables started without any problems. Today again the same game, too little juice to start, with start help easily jumped on. To the workshop ́s about 15 km, there was measured that the battery is 100% charged – this can be after so e in a short distance? It was further said that a mistake would be known from other C70, where the top control unit pulled power. For this there is even a software updaze, which was played (57,- Euro). I was curious. Did anyone else of you have an idea, or something like that already experienced? MfG charles164

  • Wheel bearing for Volvo V50 2.0D identical to Ford Focus ?

    Hello all, my V50 2.0D, year 06 212,000 km has a small repair (both front wheel bearings are due, Russian particle filters and new brake discs and I also need them) in front of you! I heard that the Ford Focus is identical, in terms of wheel bearings. Are these cheaper than with our FRIENDLY!!??? Am not sooooo liquid at the moment. Had actually decided for a chic Volvo V50, because it is very solid and reliable. Ohso, have a few tons cheap 30/30 is enough for a slightly more sporty look? Wanted to install the springs (on the original dampers) alone in a self-help workshop. What do you think, how long a loan would need for it? I am grateful for every comment and suggestion. Thanks already!

  • Omega b rear wheels stand differently after repair

    Hello, with my Omega b Caravan 2.0 16V Bj 99 a disagreement occurred after a repair. Among other things, the rear axle bushings were changed and the brake discs and brake blocks were renewed at the back. Then the track was adjusted. Now the left wheel is visible further than the right. So the right is right as before, the left is wrong, estimated 2-3cm further inside. Track and fall were checked again, right. I have 20mm track spread on both sides In the first place, I thought they didn’t screw the track plate on the left, but it’s on it. Rims with the same tyre sizes and track plates were installed just like that before the workshop visit, so that the inconsistency can only come from the repair, something must have been built wrongly together. After several resultless tours of the workshop(the masters always said clearly that the left wheel is definitely further in and that so not se in) and demand from Opel, who also didn’t know any advice (only the statement that you can’t pretend anything that leads to this result), I hope now for your help! What can this be about? The pictures show the misery.

I was at a Volvo dealer directly, I would have had from it the Vida had… haha ne, however they could my drive, The camshaft adjuster came out as a mistake, picture in the appendix. I already ordered a new used one, my current camshaft adjuster in the car I had already cleaned in aml and provided a new seal, did not bring any improvement (a month ago). Now my questions to you: If I install the new used camshaft adjuster, do I have to renew the seal again (seat is one month old)? If the new used camshaftsve When does the new used camshaft adjuster work, but the problem is not fixed, what sources of error could there still be? The two cables that lead to the adjuster that check? I already had the idea to check the cables for passage with a multimeter, can someone explain to me how this is done? I thank you for your help and effort! I hope for quick feedback, as I can get the best results. time very under pressure with kind regards
