  • 100tkm Test Dacia Logan MCV

    Congratulations Dacia! The Dacia Logan just finished his 100tkm endurance test at the AutoBild. The result is definitely worth a congratulations. Because the 14th place of the ranking is shared by the MCV with Mercedes C-Class, Honda Civic and Honda Jazz.

  • With MCV brake discs and brake clasps after how many kilometers changed?

    Hello, I would be interested in how many kilometers you had to change your brake discs and/or brake clatters at the Diesel-MCV. And if you could still specify the costs, my neugiers would be perfectly satisfied. And if you can already manage more than 80,000 km without changing, you can also register. I belong to the fraction of the late braker, not the one who has gone from gas and let himself roll forever before and also not the always nervous brake lightester. ciao peter

  • Sandero is Germany’s most valuable vehicle

  • Finishing classic with wax or these coating seals Teflon, Brilla etc.?

    Hello together, I wanted to get to know how you care for your vehicles, what do you recommend with a new car? On the internet there are so many different offers that I don’t know anymore how to care for a new car best. Does anyone have experience with Brilla Coating, or Teflon seals?

  • Colour wax or colour particles in sealing for dyeing vehicles

    Does anyone know about the use of color wax? Can you use it to sound a car? I would like to give my car a slight glimmer in season, e.g. green or yellow. Question: Do you get to apply a colour wax evenly in order to create a tint? How pronounced is this? Then another idea I picked up in a car forum: There are now paint systems for rims and also the entire car for colouration from several suppliers, which you can I don’t want to advertise now, but YT is full of the stuff. I don’t want to recolor the car, but I have another idea: I want to attach effect to the wax or also to a seal. I’m now on a supplier of pigments with which one should be able to dye such a relevant paint. Specifically, 50g per paint bucket are used. Since I asked myself if that was enough, I went to alternative forums and Vid eos cleverly made and found that the number 1 supplier of such CAR varnishes in fact fills only a few bags for an entire bucket, which is sufficient for a complete painting of a car in 4 layers. Apparently have the strong dyeing effect. Now to the actual question: Let’s assume, I want to provide my car with some tint – would it work, to transfer a spray wax with pigments or also a polymer seal? Especially the P seal interests me, because I with the car wants to have as little work as possible. Loves some stable Shine product on it rub and finish. Which means would be available e.g. in liquid form, but does not come as a spray can, so I can mix it together? Idea?

  • “Everything used to be better” – hit new cars?

    frankwo has posted a really interesting article from 1978 in his legendæren zeitreisethread today. therefore the adac-pannenliste was already in 1978 æusserst sad leftuere for volvo friends: all models are negatively noticeable in the list, the Hollænder 343 and 66 cut off very badly, the former is even nr. 3 on the loserlist. under 27000 new registrations of the year 1977 even 17.1/1000 of the wonderful 240 panenhilfe (waltrauds Jahrgang!). o Although it is said that in most cases these were simple problems… it is obvious that this is not so much a duest number compared to today. which is also true of the error rates of the other volvos – and the 36,6 of the lonely “top rider” citroën cx correspond to the triple of today’s negative “top rider” vw t4/t5 for one year old vehicles… for the old article, however, it is already remarkable that there is neither a proper table nor ch pay to the “prestigetrætigigen mercedes-limousinen” gives… dear gruss oli

  • Oil quality

    Hello Volvogemeinde, My Elk (C30, 1.6D) normally needs an engine oil with the following specifications Oil quality: WSS-M2C913-B Viscosity: SAE 5W–30 and for unfavourable conditions Oil quality: ACEA A5/B5 Viscosity: SAE 0W–30 Well, to my question, you can mix the two varieties, e.g. I always carry 1-2L oil with you (as an ex-passat driver a MUST). I would say, the C30 was delivered with the standard oil – is it wrong if I use the other oil (0W-30) as an optional supplement? Thank you in advance for your tips. Romeo

  • AMS article: “Umweltpanik bei Volvo”

    This article in the Swedish AMS quotes unspecified internal sources from Volvo on the current projects at Volvo. According to this, there is currently a huge pressure on costs (missions allegedly have to be approved by Arp), except in the projects dealing with the new S60 and the reduction of consumption of the existing engines. Plans for a small-volvo based on Fiesta were stopped afterwards. Incidentally: – In the autumn of 2009 a V70 1.6D with 119g CO2/km come – An optimized C30 1.6D should emit only 104 g CO2/km – The 2.0F should be replaced by a 1.6FT (turbo) due to its high consumption, which debuts in the new S60 and then also comes in the V70. – Supposedly one has managed to reduce the consumption of the R6 to 7.1 l/100km. There were already plans to completely adjust the R6 due to the high consumption. – One tests allegedly currently the 8-speed automatic from ZF – 2012 should be the first hybrid based on a Four-cylinder engines are coming (information in other articles had spoken of “Mild hybrid engines”, which are already available much earlier. If applicable, this hybrid is the first Volvo full hybrid.)
