  • Volvo XC 60 D3 AWD as a towing vehicle??

    Who already has experience with the new (BJ. 2011/2012) Volvo XC 60, D3 (163 hp machine) AWD as a towing vehicle for a residential car (1600 kg)?? Is the machine sufficient for occasional WW vacations running over the Alps or Pyrenees or would the D5 (215 hp) machine be significantly better suited? In everyday operation both distance and city traffic (in total approx. 20,000 km) are driven, so I want to keep in mind the diesel costs. 1 1/2 l / 100 km more, I think particularly thoroughly about which equipment/machine is the optimal for me. The WW is moved 2- 3 times a year, no more. But of course I do not want to “hungry” already on the Sauerland line or the “Kasseler Bergen” with it! Thanks for competent answers.

  • Omega does not drive faster than 120 km/h

    Hello together, one way ahead; I tortured the SEARCH and OMEGA FAQ for hours and unfortunately did not find anything that only aims at the vicinity of my problem. And here iss: I’ve had an Omega 2.0l, 100kw, 16V, BJ 94, Caravan with 165tkm. Since I bought it, I’ve only driven city and country road. A few days ago on the highway, just look at it. From about 3000 u/min the engine started at once extremely jerking. The MKL didn’t get out of the blinking anymore. At 2500 u/min he ran calmly again (MKL again). Had also tried to get the engine into a higher speed range, it could be that the rumbling is only between 3000 and 3500 u/min. When I tried this, the rev counter started to spin. High to 4500, down to 2000. with the same speed and giving gas. New attempt to drive faster than 120: same problem. Then it still has sporadic rumbling (at once also at lower speed). n) only stopped when I made out the Omega briefly in the parking lot. Continued, no more jerking, but then again abn 3000 u/min. Problem occurs under load and in idle when I give gas; sometimes also when I switch at approx. 80 km/h into the 3rd gear to use the motor brake. Is however rarely. The previous owner has allegedly installed new candles and cables, but saw with cylinder 1 humidity in the cable at the distributor. Error reading (BlinkTest lt Emerling) has a I hope very much I have described it as well as I hope you can help me there.

  • slk r170 230k all 3 brake lights are permanently lit

    Servus, with my SLK r170 230K (Bj. 08.2000) the brake lights no longer go out. After a longer drive from Austria (11 st.) much to me the whole brake lights shine. Of course I looked at the fuse and saw that the slot of the fuse for the brake light has burned through. have replaced the light module / safety box afterwards, unfortunately without success. I then changed the brake light switch, unfortunately still nothing. klichter completely dismantled and contacts I also checked, everything looks good. I also checked the cables at the kinks of the trunk, looked good as far as possible. unfortunately I am not an electrician, but I can already read a little electrical for schematics it is not enough. now I wanted to ask if someone had the problem or has solutions suggestions. owns also a read out, could also send in the errors he gives out (really a lot to say but unfortunately not) I am very open about solution suggestions and tips I thank you in advance!

  • What kind of transformer for car battery simulation?

    Hello, I really need a way to simulate a car battery. For craft purposes, so that I don’t have to run to the car every time. How much volts can the car electrics take? With my golf I always have around 12.7 V. If I have as a device, which is constant 13,8 V, this is too much, isn’t it? How about ampere? Is a constant charge of 8 amps enough?

  • Automatic problem

    Hello! I have just read through the forum and would like to describe my problem now. Most of the time my wife drives by car and also with a lot of city traffic. It usually comes to the problem if I want to overtake another car, or drive on the highway and speed up. I give gas and it does nothing, except that the speed shoots into the red area. It switches into the idling. I go down from the gas and notice how it plugs in again. When I give back gas the speed goes up and he bangs in a gear that I think now drives the engine and gearbox without a car. GT oil has been exchanged and software updated. What do the experts suggest??? Thanks LG Robert
