  • Hail damage > Total economic damage

    Hello municipality, today was the day of the decision for my Swedes. In August we had here in the Zwickau area an evil hailstorm with egg-sized grains. Today we went to the expert, who has estimated the damage now at 1,800,-€ replacement value lies at 1,200,-€ and the residual value at 400,-€, I can howl What do you do now? Continue driving and still caring? He is a top technical in order. Do I put it off and pick it up for myself? If someone is semming on it now, I go out empty! Unfortunately, what you have put in the car no one sees… 700,-€ he cost me and 2.500,-€ plugged in, is really bad! Has something like that ever gone through? Greetings Ronny

  • V70 BJ 98 Service Lamp delete by smartphone ?

    Hello dear forum, at the online mail order store or at the auction house there are for some time OBD 2 adapters that work via Bluetooth. Simply install smartphone app and then connect the adapter with the OBD socket. My questions: Who has tried something like this, with which software. From which dealer you bought this. Can you also put the service control light back with it? Thanks for the answers. Volvo, you say he has magical powers….

  • Underrun protection for V70 I?

    Hello, I recently drove dirt roads or dirty roads (construction site traffic). The car gets dirty, clear. But also the engine room gets dirty, I don’t have mud in there, but mud splashes everywhere. Is there a way to “do” the V70 I petrol without a big theater down, so that when you drive mud, flowers don’t grow in the engine room at some point? tia + mfg, Patrick

  • Heating AND climate Fogs

    Hello together, after some research here in the forum I have already found some entries that seem to go in the right direction, but do not fit 100 percent to my problem: In my V70 TDi Bj. 98 I have the following problem: Both when using the climate as well as the heating comes out of the right and middle nozzles fog after some time, which also smells unpleasant (vmtl frost protection?). Furthermore, a slight cooling water loss is detected and the windscreen (just right) sweats. If only the ventilation does not occur a fog. Interestingly, I was able to operate the climate always fog (and odour-free) than it was extremely hot (30°C+). Quite rarely is the Lambda lamp on me briefly, which according to another forum can be due to the defective cooling circuit. The climate evaporator has already been exchanged in the last 2 years. Are now at the same time climate evaporators and heat exchangers defective? Are there actually also 2 climate evaporators ? Apparently there are two heat exchangers. I hope you can help me further, greeting

  • Funny funny elk warning strike

    Hello dear community. Today it was time. My moose left me for the first (and hopefully last) time. Car ran to turn off completely normal. When I wanted to start again only a short muck and then die. I found that a small vacuum hose was removed under the injection strip. Again put on and nothing went more. I had to have myself picked up from my workshop(40 km). In the workshop then looked; relays tested i.e. gasoline pump; went. Access to the injection strip checked; fountain works. Schalluch re-plugged; car ran Master said petrol pump hung. Can this be? What would a good used one cost me?

  • Rear silencer loose

    Now is the time when the one or the other comes to the floor. On Tuesday I had the oil trap changed and today the rear rear silencer comes in. The suspension has already been welded about 7 years ago. I hope that can also be done a second time. Anyway, my workshop said that it had to look at it first. That can’t be an act, can it?

  • Liqui Moly 10W40 MoS 2

    Hello Elk friends! This is not to become an infinite thread. I just want to get a clear short opinions/experiences with this special oil.And a question to which I would like a concrete answer: Can or would this oil harm my elk 850 AWD – 2.5 20V LPT 193 ps? I want to switch from 0W40 Mobil 1 to this. The reason is a little too high consumption (despite the new oil trap), 1l to 1800km.I think that the turbo also has a co-indeed, but will/can only be overtaken in 1.5 years. (yes, the dear money still has to be earned).Can I possibly expect a small reduction in oil consumption, or does that bring nothing at all? Mfg. Adam

  • Fascinated by the performance of my TT

    Today when I drove from Böblingen towards Ludwigsburg I first met a Honda Civic Type R with Swiss license plates and four pipes at the back. The boy wanted to know it absolutely, and the duel started right away. He was on the left lane and I on the right. I switched right from the fourth to the third and both full-speed, took the immediately half-car-length off afterwards it was a whole car-length when driving out the fourth gear! But the thing was a sound, incredibly loud. He drove further towards Stuttgart and I direction Heilbronn. I barely drove further, stuck behind me the next one. So in the first look in the rear mirror I could not recognize the vehicle. Since I was on the left track I was right on the middle one. He gives gas and comes next to me. A Mazda RX8 or as the thing is called. But I still have to say a high-turning shot. I went the fourth and the fifth one. I was on the right track because I won’t have a good 15 car-length advantage from me. But I can’t get rid of my bike. But I don’t want to get rid of my bike.

  • Oil for Volvo 850 2.5 20V LPT (193 Ps Turbo)

    Hello I’m Michael and new here. We bought a Volvo 850 BJ:1996 2.5 liter 20V LPT (193 Ps without all-wheel but with turbo) 320,000 km. The car only has an English manual because it was originally from Canada. I wanted to buy oil now, but I don’t know what oil I should take The old owner probably used cheap no-name 5w/40 because the car also consumed a lot of oil by high kilometers. Now my questions: In the operating manual under Oil Quality stands Meeting API specification SG, SG/CD,SH or Energy converting (EC) II and below SAE 5W/40 from -22 to 40°C. Now I found oil here and here, but the API doesn’t agree. Can I buy the oil anyway? What else would you recommend? Thank you for your help.
