  • What do your moose look like in winter?

    Moin! I wanted to open a winter bike thread! Since I have three sets of winter tyres lying around in various dimensions and I need space I want to decide slowly. And besides I like to see pictures from other Volvos. So I have one series wheels in 15″ in 5-spoke optics, one set 17″ propus and one set 17″ steel rims. All together with good WR. pictures come this afternoon or tomorrow.. But how do you do it? I’m curious! Have a nice holiday and possibly long weekend!

  • 850, a few questions

    Day together, if there was a topic like this, I’m sorry I didn’t find it. I got a 850 2.5-10V from mid-1995 a few days ago and it needs a little service now at a few corners. Among other things, the odometer doesn’t run anymore and the rear wiper has quit the service (should be known what you find in the net). In addition, a few other little things. Heck wiper is only second-ranking, it just comes off for the first time. Now to my questions: 1. Tacho, before I break up the whole dashboard, you can somehow recognize which tacho is installed from the outside, because there are different toothwheels for it? 2. Seat heating, there are current running plans for it? I have discovered under the driver’s seat two torn cables, colors red/white and red. The same thing on the side of the driver. 3. The original, retrofitted wayway lock with these code keys is still working for a lot of time. The LED in the control panel always flashes, regardless of ignition or similar. Unfortunately, the car was not able to use the key for the car?

  • Chinese car manufacturer wanted.

    Hello, I want to write a paper about one or more Chinese car manufacturers, but I don’t know which ones are the biggest in this country. Since I have had good experience with this forum so far, I thought I’d ask here. I’d be very happy if you could call me a few companies that I can get more information about. Thank you and love greetings.

  • C 70 convertible. So now it has bought

    Hello, after reading the forum for a long time and being an enthusiastic Volvo driver, I got a good idea about the convertible here. I bought a C70 convertible built in 2004. It’s a 2 Lt. engine with 163 hp. The exterior color is black, the interior is beige. Normal equipment with seat heating and automatic transmission. BBS rims with 225 rubbers. After reading the information here that the convertible is better with a Domstrebe it was ordered immediately after the purchase at friendly ” expensive “. Domstrebe is installed and see it drives much better. One is in contrast to my V70. The boxes are much better and the convertible is much deeper. Did it then buy a better sound system? If yes, how can I determine it. And can it be that I have a sports vehicle? How can I determine it? Nothing is registered in the letter and bill. MFG Sven

  • Consumption V70 with 144 hp

    Hello, after a long time with a T5 I think about buying a V70 Metropolitan with 144 hp. Can you tell me your experiences about consumption/height, but with a brisk but not brute ride. (Does he actually need super or normal) I thank you in advance, Belsantos

  • Autogas – Tank test

    I wouldn’t have had such a head for it, or would know it more precisely if I hadn’t had HU/AU at the beginning of the year. I didn’t happen to have the necessary reps in the workshop. I don’t know that the examiner even looked at the gas system, let alone the tank (I had the whole trunk full of bumps). The friendly said recently, that must be absolutely necessary. At the TÜV/DEKRA I still did not ask, because I simply didn’t come to it during the day. So far I haven’t really thought about it, but somewhere I read something about CAP and GWP for gas tanks in vehicles recently in the shed. Often one reads that this has to be done every 2 years with HU, some write, that it is only necessary every 10 years (and then an exchange is cheaper), others think, with a new legislation that would be obsolete, …. and ten other opinions more. Or does this only apply to natural gas tanks? What is it true then?? Does someone really know what concrete gas system is installed in Italy?

  • xc70d5 measured power 149PS

    The xc70d5 (year 2004, 50T€) is already a great car, if not the d5 engine in there. As a changer of a passat TDI 130PS 6G. I am very disappointed by the power, torque and suit. After all, I manage to stay on the mountain at a 100PS Golf TDi grade so. Therefore, I had the car tested by an expert on an all-wheel test bench. Result: 149 hp and torque of 330Nm at a top at 2200U/min, then strongly sloping. So outside the specification. Volvo itself eats around. So where should you look for the error? How can you get an acceptable performance? Hilllffäääääääääääää……………………….so’n Mist! Oh by the way: Before the car contemplates gas, two sad seconds pass.

  • Operating temperature too low!

    Hello people, the operating temperature at my Omi 2,5,DTI does not exceed 65-70° with normal operation and outside temperature of 10°, only with higher load e.g. in trailer operation the temperature rises to approx. 80° and goes back to 65-70° with less load. The heating is ok. What is defective? Thermostat? M.f.G.

  • Convert 136hp to 150hp

    Hello I have an Omega b 2,0 16V with 136hp which is really a pissl lame for me, but now I don’t want to buy a new car. That’s why I wanted to ask if you can upgrade the engine with 136hp as it has 150hp like the GSI machine from the F Astra. But without changing the engine, it only converts.
