  • Is that still worth it?

    Hello, I have been only a keen reader of this forum and need help now. I drive a V70I, Bj 1997, 2.4T, 193 HP, manual transmission, about 190.000 km on the clock. My predecessor unfortunately treated the elk very badly. I thought that would be purely optical, but also seems technically so, unfortunately. As an example: The last time on a smooth road, the ABS could be used so slowly, but it did not. Control light without function, Birnchen was simply out. Is already a mess, I did not pay attention to it, my mistake, stupidly ran. In June the gray coat of paint from the state surveillance waits for us. A free workshop has now made me a cost estimate of approx. € 1,000,00 to get at all TÜV. In addition, the clutch, which will soon be due. the following flaws should be eliminated: The shock absorber at the rear is probably upper engine bearing smaller oil loss, I would probably have a porous wheel at the rear would have been too much game, so that there is something on the front axle.

  • Lupo without a ZV and radio, let the ignition key copy?

    Hello, today I bought a Lupo 1.0L, 37 kW, year 99. The Lupo has no ZV, no electr. FH and no climate. Unfortunately I got only one key to it. My question: can I have a key done during the key service or does the key have a chip or whatever that needs to be recognized by the on-board electronics? Thanks for hints!

  • funny engine noise

    good day.I’ve had a rhythmic motor noise in the distance of 1-2 seconds since about 1 week. the noise is not always there. one day it’s there and then again it’s not. what can that be? it seems to me as if the noise comes from the 1st cylinder on the gear. does the volvo have a valve control or something like that?

  • Bye, bye?

    Bye, bye XC70 Sometimes it’s different… I just wanted to make pictures for our Potsdamer V8 dealer… … so I’m going to go to my friend’s place this morning to snap them. Because I had to talk to the seller in order to get the keys (were standing outside), I directly expressed my interest, because I actually like the cars quite well (it’s not the color of my wish again, but what’s the point). So I get a fax with a leasing (unfortunately way too high) and payment offer a short time later. I don’t like the payment name, so I look at autoscout what they bring. To see if there is any interest in ́nem XC70 at all, I turn on an advertisement. No hour later the 1st interested, still 1.5 hours later the 2nd!!! Tomorrow I have 2 dates, and I’m pretty sure that it will go away then. So I’ll probably get off my Volvo and stand there without it. What now? Have very good leasing offers (even from my dealer, Volvo is not present at the forum).

  • Volvo V40 BJ.00 Exchange air mass meters – cost? make yourself?

    Hi, yesterday my car left me in the lurch while driving by suddenly hardly pulling anymore and (especially when starting) spit out neatly black exhausts at the back. I then quickly turned around us to the workshop with it. They called me now and told me that it was the air mass meter that had to be replaced. The repair costs with wages 450-480€ Now I want to ask myself once as an absolute full lay about the price is appropriate. Besides, just while browsing the net I discovered a YouTube clip in which the exchange was shown for a short time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shhutX2Ktzc Although I have no idea of cars and quite respect for it myself to lay hands on somewhere but that really saw extremely easy that can be wikrlich every full idiot ^^ Therefore my question to the experts: is the change really soo easy? (I have a Volvo V40 BJ 00) Since I can save myself a large amount of money….

  • Accident report – only scratches

    So, yesterday it caught me as well. I was not fast. The airbags did not trigger. I guess I had 30 km/h on the tacho. As I said, I was rolling straight to a crossroad. There you are anyway slow. I am right in the front of the Golf 2 with my front wheel. Follow: His right side and front axle broken and the wheel folded away inside. He couldn’t go further and had to wait for the tow truck. With me, oh wonder and according to my friend, only the bumper is changed. Otherwise everything is after thorough inspection and measurement o.k. I was surprised that the car did not get any more. The bang was quite loud. Well, it seems from the insurance it also does not give any problems, so I will return my elk already next week. Until then I drive V50. So, too, I am happy to see you again.

  • Radio spider

    Hello! For 3 days the radio has been spinning in my XC90. Suddenly jump, without my intervention, the fixed stations. I listen e.g. classical – radio, the station suddenly jumps on RBB. If I press the button “6” (with me INFO radio), short INFO radio appears, but after 5 or 6 seconds another station, which I have not set at all anywhere. Sometimes also nothing jumps over! Has anyone ever had such a thing? Although only a small thing, but like all small things annoying. Will not hope that I have to bring the car to the workshop again because of this. Would then be the 5th time in 3 months…. Maybe you have a tip??

  • Busch drum: new S60 is unmasked

    Hello municipality, AUTOBILD has announced for the new edition (next Friday) the “discovery” of the new S60. Why actually S60 ? The S80 is over-/overdue ! And besides: The all-awaited V90 would have been just as advanced and then the V70 would be on, wouldn’t it? Or DO the only photos of the already published XC60 off? Questions about questions. Still 2x sleep… Ulli ( who is surprised that a BILD newspaper can cause such impatience with him !? )

  • Radio reception sucks

    Hello together, for some time – i.e. for about 10 days – I have a problem with the radio reception or the radio sound. XC90, MY05, Premium Sound System. In the room Duisburg, Essen I listen to one live. Only the sound is pretty quiet…. . First of all a noise, then the sound falls out at the back, then the center speaker. Nix more with room sound or something. . Renewed transmitter choice via the function button does not bring any improvement. Another transmitter brings short-term relief regarding the sound, but not the content – (this is so here in the region ). A change to the CD brings the desired room sound (but no news). Who knows this problem ? Who has a solution ? And what is this solution ? saluti elkman target-leading hints are rewarded with a beer at the next GT.
