  • V60 – Chiptuning Heico/Polestar – useful?

    Hello dear friends, I have been calling for 3 months a V60 T3, year 7/2011 my own. And what am I supposed to say – I’m overjoyed. Now a work colleague has latched on me that I should seriously think about a (chip) tuning. Apart from the performance increase this should also be reflected in the consumption (positive). So I fell on google and have read a little cross-read. It has come out that – if you turn on the power screw – you should definitely rely on something from Heico or Polestar. Unfortunately, nothing is offered by these manufacturers for the T3 – or am I just pissed off? Is there also alternative good and trustworthy suppliers? Furthermore, I wonder if the engine does not “suffer” if you make a chip tuning? What are the risks and side effects? And is a chiptuning basically a profit for me at all? For your experiences and advice I would be grateful, dear greeting, Simon

  • V40 1.8 very high consumption

    Hello, after I’ve been looking for the cause of the extremely high consumption, I wanted to turn to the forum for a good answer to the question “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Güße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”:”: “Grüße”:”:”: “Grüße”:”:”:”:”:”:”: “Grüße”:”: “Grüße”:”:”: “Grüße”:”:”: “Grüße”: “Grüße”:”:”:”:”:”:

  • Door Panel / “Ellbow Shelf”

    Hello, it has been posted many times about the quality of the door panel. Unfortunately, I also had to find out that below the disc, where the elbow rests, the upper plastic layer dissolves and begins to glue. (2.4, BJ 2/2004). Is a change over guarantee or is the normal wear?

  • Loud noise while driving, especially at higher speeds.

    Hello, for some time now my Volvo has been running at higher speeds – from about 50/60 kmh – loud running noises. My tyres can’t be because I’ve been driving for a while and the noises have not been present before. It comes from the front, probably left side. To check, we went as follows: vehicle is bucked up, right front wheel is manually blocked, engine is switched on, individual gears are switched on and there was a grinding noise in the area between wheel sprocket and gearbox at higher speeds. Then left front wheel is blocked, engine is blocked, and fixed that with increasing wheel speed on the right, a flickering noise in the area of the gearbox rose parallel to it. Then, to check both front wheels run at the same speed, only the grinding sound of the left side was noticeable. Both brakes were completely open and thus had no contact to the brake disc. We checked gear oil before, the oil stand was flawless! I am worried that it could be the gear? Or can it be the wheel bearing? Evt. other bearings in this area can help me.

  • Change from BMW to Volvo !?

    Hello to the forum round, I’m going to answer as someone who’s never driven a Volvo before. But a lot of BMWs? Currently BMW X6 M50d. But now the new XC 90 really has the stuff that I’m going to be unfaithful and consider a brand change for the first time. However, as I’ve never had anything on my hat with Volvo, I don’t know the typical features that make up the car. Speak the brand culture and understanding. Except perhaps: Safty first. So please allow me a few (if necessary stupid) questions, so that I can “work” the Volvo a little better. I’d be happy about your answers. 1. I’m a lot and therefore passionate diesel driver with a weakness for high torque. Petrol is not a topic for me. Therefore, I would have been interested in the hybrid, but only as a diesel variant, which doesn’t exist. Is there any possibility that in the pipeline? Did Volvo even have diesel hybrids on the market? 2. Why is there just a big SUV for 2Liters?

  • Pre-climate conditioning / pre-heating / air conditioning

    Now I need some help. With the terms pre-climateization, climate in the stand, stationary heating… the thickness (and also the description in the APP) gets a bit confused. The stationary heating heats the interior when the pre-climateization is activated? Aha. Can I not just switch the stationary heating on or off? Have tried this, i.e. “climate in the stand” start… There is also air, but no warm. Also the symbol with the three curved arrows pointing upwards, which should come according to the description in the driver’s display, is not displayed… What completely irritates me is the diagnosis of the VOC APP. There, after the diagnosis under the stationary heating “no” stands. This, regardless of whether I use a timer or a VOC APP “climate in the stand” start or stop (see picture). Is there this menu item without the stationary heating at all?

  • The friendly greeting of the Phaeton driver…

    Hello everyone, meanwhile I meet more and more Phaeton on the road, especially on the highways. This usually leads to the fact that the other Phaeton then sits right in front of me or I hurry to drive behind him. It seems that there is with many Phaeton drivers (inclusive me) a dear interest to get to know other Phaeton on the road. Besides, I always get a wide grin if I get another representative of this kind to face. One then drives together for a while and then everyone drives his way again. I always feel an interest to say goodbye (or to the others at the meeting). However, I always do not know what would be adapted to this (light horn, warning belllink system,…) because these signs could also be understood as wrong. Maybe the forum participants have an idea or interest to determine a binding grudge if one meets on the road. Grusss doccap

  • Consumption V40 T4

    My first T4 (3 years, 80TKM, God has blessed him) was satisfied with extremely light right foot on country roads with 11.0l. But of course I did not buy a T4 to test his minimal consumption. Then, Christmas 2001, I left him to my wife and with it his fate. Thanks to the airbags, which all did not trigger. That was cash money. Oh… please don’t misunderstand, I love my wife. Really! Nothing happened to her of course. But I wander away … The second T4 (3 years, 75TKM) is also 11l min. That means, when driving in a grown-up way 13l. Is that the normal value? Does Chiptuning help me? Or should I let my wife drive and then buy an Opel? I would be very grateful for your experience!

  • Question about gearboxes

    What do I have to say about the engine, and since I didn’t really trust the workshops, I wanted to hear your opinion about it. Otherwise the mechanic talks to me again the Vesper in the backpack because I have no idea. I try to be brief…. So, about 6 months ago I had an oil change and suddenly had an oil stain in the garage. However, what I did not have in the whole 8 years in which I have the V40 yet. So again in the workshop…. but they didn’t have a lot of time and thought the oil would come from above. I then reclaimed so n n liter of oil from Liqui Moly (thought also vll because of the new oil that it is still thinner and the seals with the years also slacken) and then was quiet. Now I had to find out that already had oil in the garage again last week. So n liter of oil vlled and again so oil stop inside. But still drips still…. And now my real question: When switching since a few months did not tell me about the gear change.

  • Buy 850 Limosine

    Hello my name is Philipp, I need some advice about buying used cars from you, this is the one here:http://suchen.mobile.de/…/186267220.html?… I visited him today and tried it but only in the commercial area without a license plate. Kickdown, took gas neatly. Braked pulled slightly to the left. I noticed the following negative things: Both rear wheel runs repainted, then under luggage mat and looked from below, but does not look like rear hit, according to the seller Parkrempler, well exhaust röhrt, but comes out of the tailpipe, flex tube and dumpsters are dense. too small battery installed brakes at the front pull out positive: climate, electr. seat adjustment, window lifter, seat heating, etc. goes well. Engine runs well, automatic switches clean oil in the gearbox is pink and straight normal. In the engine room nothing is still noticeable. In the lift, everything is dry from below, axles and track rods are dry. Service booklet until 2010 was registered completely with Volvo?
