  • Volvo S40 T4 -strange sounds from the engine

    Hello, can anyone tell me what’s wrong with the engine.https://youtu.be/NX-cETm5-NI I’ve been to the Volvo dealership twice, but they couldn’t really tell me where this “blechner” noise comes from. The clutch excluded them. The defective camshaft sounds somehow different? This noise is also not regularly/permanent to hear. Otherwise, you don’t notice anything about it when driving. No error is shown either. I’m really desperate.

  • What’s that?

    Hello together. Due to idle problems I am currently finding the causes and first replace the vacuum hoses. I came across a component (possibly solenoid valve) whose function is not known to me.. In the appendix a picture about it… The component sits on the cooler on the top right when you stand in front of the car. A vacuum hose and a plug goes on it. And it always clacks quite often. If you hold your finger on it, you can also feel it. Thanks for your help.

  • C70 T5 starts after 10-15sec org…

    Good evening forum! I’ve been tormenting Aunt Google for a long time now, what it might be about… Starter goes through wacky, after about 10sec (or sometimes 3, ider 15s) the engine then goes off abruptly and runs clean on all cylinders. The stationary gas evenly. I exclude LMM, because the engine starts just as ticky when the LMM is plugged off. It goes out when I plug in the LMM then. Empty speed controller is suspected. But does not fluctuate the speed. Also, does not go out. Nocks, or crankshaft sensor? Symptoms? I don’t know. Power is 100% there when it runs. Petrol pressure regulator? Does the ignition system stop too late? I also exclude the immobilizer. Also, I think that the nozzles won’t drip, otherwise it wouldn’t run saube and the Lambda would complain. Do you have any ideas? Ohso, no, error memory is not (yet) read out.

  • Purchase decision

    Hello together. I’m just falling in love with a T5 station wagon. Ride 850 GLE so far, also only combos, and am very happy with the Swedes. The T5 should change for 1900.- the owner. 198,000km, gears changed at 119,000km (with water pump). It should hold a bit. What with but worries are the brakes. The rear look rather shaky, the pads seem to be down and the caliper is actually only rust. At the front it looks so good. Also when braking you hear a frictioning noise and the bite leaves you wanting to. It slows down, but not as it belongs to such a force spretz. For me it’s interesting now what the brakes cost me. I guess at least 1 kiloEuro if I leave in front and back.

  • Power loss without error message

    Moin Moin, I need your help, my elk (125 kW petrol MJ 2000 250tkm) always has sporadic power loss. On the highway he can no longer make it more than 4000 rpm. Also in the city I sometimes kick the gas on the sheet metal and I only speed up at the snail speed, other times everything is normal again and I think I am sitting in a fresh elk. But I also have no mistake when reading out in the memory. Oh yes, it does NOT jerk and twitch, only no more accelerations just. The following parts are freshly changed: air mass knife, throttle valve (repeated), lamda control probe Have now actually only the ignition or the injection on suspicion. But how can I find out where or in which cylinder the error lies? Or do you still have an idea where the error might come from? I am grateful for every advice. Wish you a nice rest day.

  • Valve damage

    Moin Gemeinde, my good old Swedes, rode the devil yesterday and caused me a valve damage in the first cylinder. Candle is worn away and that was it. I measured pressure already all 2-5 only the first one no longer. Someone knows a free factory state here near him and also familiar, for a normal price. I myself have little confidence in my abilities regarding disassembly of engine. The friendly would like to have minimum 2mill As perhaps some know I have no garage and know how not for it. I can help safely and/and sometimes also screw small screws but then it stops. Most of what bothers me is that I have made all the others of tooth belts over brakes, transverse handlers, shock absorbers, climate etc. Almost 3000€ installed on new parts and now that. My wife wants to give away the good one I can and does not want to separate. Maybe there is one here nearby, the idea of time and desire to deal with things with me. For help to always have nice village of all the chapels in Weimar76.

  • Change wheels or just tires?

    Hello, I’m now working on the purchase of winter tyres for our S60 like many of you. I’m asking myself the basic question, whether I should buy only tyres and mount on the existing LM rims “Canaveral” instead of the summer tires or is it better for tyres and rims to prefer the purchase of the complete wheels? Do you have technical concerns for the tyre change that the tire does not get to get down from the rim once a year and to get out again or the rim does not get the salt in the winter? I’m grateful for tips, cu, Niels

  • Winter tires, snow chains for XC90?

    Hello, as I have already posted here, I have ordered an XC90 Ocean Race. This one should be delivered in December. I have already inquired about suitable winter tyres. First of all, my tyre dealer told me that there are only aluminium rims and no steel rims for the XC90. Well, I can still live with that. The offer of 18 inch winter tyres is very limited. He has now made me an offer for the Pirelle Scorpion Zero the Bridgestone DMZ3 the Michelin Alpin as well as the Mastercraft MSR and the Champiro Savero GT. All as 17 inches. Has an experience with this and can give me a hint here? These No Name products are honestly not so my thing. My next question is the to snow chains, run over Sylvester to Austria ski. Would like to take with you for emergency chains. The Alu wheels that my tyre dealer has offered me, allow me a finely structured chain. My friend has something like this in the rental. Has here an idea where I can borrow such chains? Will not buy for a pig money.

  • Illuminated star

    Hello everyone! Is there anyone here who is also interested in a Illuminated Star for his 463? I know that’s not everybody’s thing but I think ML and Co look great! Maybe also a conversion of the Illuminated ML Star (if dimensions are equal) is possible with the G? I would be happy for any opinions, ideas!
