  • Costs for timing belt changes?

    Good evening, a current thread here e.g. topic “Zahmriemen ripped” or something similar, reminds me of my due Werstatt visit. My car is almost 5 years old and has run 61000km. I wanted to have the timing belt changed, is also recommended in this forum at the same time to exchange phase converters, reversing and tensioning rollers and – did I forget something? – I would like to make an idea of the workshop costs from your answers (mean value) before I start the workshop. Thank you very much! saluti!

  • Purchase advice: Legacy from 04 with 2.0 or 2.5ccm ???

    Dear community, I have been forging for days after a purchase help for the idea to buy a young Legacy Kombi as a ‘construction site vehicle’. I tested the current 2.0 Kombi with LPG recently, but wonder if the previous 2.5er (which was available in the current Legacy before the 1st Facelift also in the non-outback) would be the better choice: Especially for one or other long distance in between. As far as read, the 2.5er is the constructive older engine than SOHC, but has s chon as much horsepower as the current 2.0er, which in turn does not come into the tuete in its previous 137hp variant at all… I also realize that the 2.5er was obviously cancelled only because of fleet consumption, only in the outback – and in North America as always a long-awaiting basic motorization – had survived. (Have known Subaru in Canada and learned to rattle). Who has experiences, what does your old bunny say? It is after all a difference whether you have 15000 Oe re spends for a 2.5er (3-4 years) or almost double for a current 2.0er. Or more clearly asked: Is the 2.5er to be recommended??? Especially with regard to performance, consumption and especially Zuuuuuueverlaessigkeit. Thank you for the answers!

  • Quick question about the XV trunk (chamber?)

    Hello, Basically the XV seems to fit exactly for me, except for the trunk, which seems to be even smaller than that of the old Skoda Yeti. During the test drive I noticed this astonished, but forget to ask if there is still a cavity under the ground cover, which you can still use similar to in the T-Rock (after a test drive I always think of something I forgot to ask). As I remember it, the XV seems to me a very good one. equipped car for 2 people with luggage or 4 people with some hand luggage. After 2 Volvos, 1 Saab and a Skoda Yeti thought of as Downsizing (children are from the house), I am now looking for a new car – but I don’t want to buy a car from the VAG Group. SUBARU is of course driven here in the Bavarian/Austrian border area a little more often than in the rest of the Republic – and I would be very much praised by everyone. Perhaps someone can give me some information. Thanks for that in advance!

  • Hurrah – I now own a P121 “Amazon” ;-))

    Hi together, if you don’t believe it, here are the photos: http://www.xc-fan.de/photogallery/20050920_P121/index.htm OK, ok – just a model, but what kind of thing. Unfortunately I didn’t find the Lätta fred (the Magariene company wanted to lose one?!) – stupid search function 😉 What must be the feeling if such a part is in real in the garage AND can still be moved 😉 A triple powerful THANK to the noble donor (which we do not mention here by name – ever if not, as long as he doesn’t come out himself, which I don’t urge him to do!) 😉 Especially the details are breathtaking, even if my ladies were too walking when opening the door and they hung out the same. But Daddy knows Volvos :-)) Good ride! Torsten – the XC fan (and I even got the most original color – beige!! *joy*) P.s.: And the picture was especially good for me -> http://www.xc-fan.de/photogallery/20050920_P121/DSC09516%20(2).JPG

  • Volvo – only second choice on security?

    Hello Volvo driver, Volvo is now considered to be a company that invests a lot in safety. But I was overwhelmed by this post in the MT Forum:http://www.motor-talk.de/showthread.php?… Renault claims that it has the safest model range in Europe. Quote: “The Créateur d Sweden no longer geographically to Europe? Or is only the Euro Zone valid? Or just theft”safe”? With “Security” I will still sleep as well tonight as other greetings Volvo 174

  • question from d5er: what annual performance with your volvos?

  • Kalos…!?!? …doesn’t want to make up, but should be said…

    Moin municipality, I admit that I wasn’t a special friend of Korean car construction art… …but my opinion was confirmed by a kalos that my girlfriend brought with me!!! It’s a 1150s, year 2006… When I first took a look at the apparatus, I noticed immediately that the AGR valve had not tightened a screw… that makes me want to see more…!!! …oh yes… Kalos never wanted to join registered We one day he ran 170, but the next day only 130km/h, but at the end more!!! On closer inspection and also when driving it was noticeable that the bucket moves to the right and when braking to the left… 42000km and both crossbars over ́n Jordan…!!! …I didn ́t have enough…. After a short, nice time, Kalos didn ́t want to start in the morning, after various checks and a short break, only the Haubenk remained. Ontakt über… ausgelaufer machen, Kalos starts again but the silent alarm system does not activate anymore!!! ….is also really important to me… ) The final coronation came then a few weeks ago… Mama was with the pediatrician and on the return trip Kalos simply went out during the ride!!! No noise, no flapping…. nix!!! …just out!!! Starter turns as if there is no candle in it… Timing belt protection off… and astonish… At about 60000km the camshaft wheel is from the cams wave BROUGHING… without shit!!!! …have almost 25 years of experience in mechanical engineering technology and imagine now to know why the maximum wind speed varied by up to 40km/h!!! The camshaft wheel was never fixed!!! This is clearly to be seen by a strong ridge and the colorful start-up colors at the center!! Since Chevrolet has known to give away nothing, everyone can imagine here what is going on on Kulanz… …with the statement: “…we would have noticed that in the service”! !! …the hairs stand up to me, as if for fun to disassemble the whole thing to see what’s going on next…. For three weeks the thing stood inside the workshop, until they finally managed to get the head seal and the ZK screws, I got the replacement motor myself… so we got along with 1000€… A new head with inner life is an economic total damage and it would take up to 4 months at all to get a delivered!! ! I’m very disappointed with this thing, my Honda is far more painless and my 2 Suzuki ́s are always running!!! …never again Chevrolet/Daewoo!!! …American processing quality + Korean processing quality = shit high 2… …beautiful day still…

  • Daewoo Rezzo never again

    Had since April 2006 a rezzo 2.0 CDX has run up to 2011 now 175000km and sold it finally, thanks to the sky.Sprite consumption is far too high, under 10 to 11 liters went nix. Each year a different problem. May 2007 oil loss and not too scarce. Reperatur ink.l timing belts and water pump 1200 €. 2009 June camshaft sensor and lambda probes defective. about 600 € 2010 brake cylinder rear both defective. 500 € 2011 timing belts changed with pump. Unfortunately, could have saved me the coal 450€ 2011 Drive shaft right front Noise according to the workshop would cost 500 €.New battery 110 € Next, brakes on the front would be about 300 € Then a week ago cooling water loss, which then found itself in the passenger compartment front as well as back. Reperatur approx.500 € apart from the fact that the entire passenger cell is now damp. Conclusion has waited far too long with the sale of this everywhere squeaking and creaking box.
