  • New Phaeton Member

    Good evening, I wanted to introduce myself again, my name is Marius, I live near Darmstadt and came through our company to the Phaeton. My BMW is sold and I can call myself since yesterday proud Phaeton owner. The first kilometers were already great, it is really the complete opposite compared to the BMW. A few thought the car would be too thin equipped but I think that this is enough for me, everything that was important to me, like Navi, leather, X enon, PDC front/back and much more he has on board, among other things pearl effect painting in Tarantella-black, ACC, electric tailgate etc. Furthermore, I find it great that all-wheel and automatic series are, that is on the one hand practical in winter and on the other hand my wife can drive the car also times (if my last post has followed, know what I mean). To the engine (3.0 TDI V6) I can only say so much so far, the car is not undermotorized with the power and has w I find a good passage, but I feel the typical diesel nailing in the stand already clearly louder than in the BMW. Overall I am more than satisfied with the vehicle characteristics. That was first of all from me, I hope for a nice time with my Phaeton and many new and nice people here. LG Marius.

  • Z20LET ECU problems

    Hello together, my coupe has converted from 1.8 to 2 liter turbo and so far has driven almost 2 tkm. The engine has been running worse and worse over the period, troubleshooting has resulted in an oxidized mass connection of the strand from the LMM and coolant temperature sensor. On the wire harness an additional mass was attached to this strand by the previous owner. In the schematic, however, this is not available. I also removed it accordingly and completed a test drive which after 700 meters with impact-like a Now to the actual problem: the engine can no longer be started (starter rotates naturally), on the MID there is a current speed of 12 km/h although the car is standing, current consumption and speed are also displayed. On the instrument cluster nothing is shown (speed and speed) there only the engine service and engine error indicator flashes extremely fast (flakes 10 times the second). measured, as far as I.O.. Second control unit tested with the same result. Backups also controlled all. I’m a little helpless, maybe someone has an idea why the control unit thinks the engine is running although it is not running. Also don’t have access to the engine control unit with OP-Com.

  • Upper sliding rail loosens LUJ engine

    Hello, a question to the experts at Opel, with the LUJ engines very often loosen the screws from the upper control chains sliding rail, is there actually a special instruction from Opel that the screws have to be used with screw securing? If this has loosened, would you use a new sliding rail and screws for safety? Greeting André

  • Oil loss at the Z18XER

    Hello, my Zafira B regularly forms an oil film at the oil tank, and on the left if you stand in front of the engine. it has to come somehow from above, because in the area marked on the photo it is also oily. Can the seal be leaking to the water pump? Or where else can the oil come from? Would you like to start no suspicious repairs, but first know where the oil comes from. Does anyone have any idea how to find out? Greetings Axelino

  • Z18XE remodeling to Z20LEH. Electronics problems!

    Hello, I have a Coupe model year 2004 and have taken over from an Astra G OPC2 (unfortunately too rotten to save) the engine with mechanics. In the OPC2 the Z20LEH engine with LET wire harness was already installed. The OPC2 is model year 2003 with cable harness B6D and in the interior full equipment (air conditioning automatic, xenon…) . As said motor compartment and motor harness was taken over up to the X2 plug. My Coupe has no climate automatic and no rain sensor, halogen headlight etc. I also took over nrücklaufleitung with pump ( original was a Y piece on the fuel filter which I put blind and moved the return line forward from there). During the first start attempt he unfortunately did not jump on, engine turned but did not jump on. I then read that the immobiliser at model year 2001+2 may not be wired properly, then I transferred a throw line from the control unit A17 (“Ringantenne” Pin 2 to the MSG PIN 13 with the same negative has someone an idea that might not be right? I’m at the moment baffled and a bit overburdened. I’d be happy to help you in RLP on site.

  • My 850er no longer starts – Difficult fault diagnosis

    Dear Leut, my 850 doesn’t start anymore and has been in the Volvo workshop for a few days. They have already switched ignition cables, candles and distribution cap and have ruled out a lot of things.Tass now already a lot of coal At the moment they assume that the engine control unit is defective.The Volvo workshop has kindly already picked out an Ebay link for a suitable control unit:http://www.ebay.de/…/271453803406?… However, the Asspartin (the v om Asspartin Used Parts Shop) warned that it would not be possible to exchange the ECU easily because of the immobilizer. But he was not quite sure. Do you know more about this?

  • Motor conversion

    Hello together for a long time did nothing and now it comes, I bought myself a Volvo C70I EZ 12.1999 2,5l with 170 hp and automatic as a project, I would like to make a monster out of the Volvo what should be called that on the body except Strammen chassis and wider pneumatics should be nothing to recognize but replace the engine or whom someone in the area Frankfurt, Darmstadt or surroundings has had experience I would like to invite on a coffee to exchange experiences. first of all I am grateful to everyone and for every tip and is welcome, I would also like to install an exhaust system in 3”, my thought revolves around using an S80 with 279 hp and the engine in my C70 of course also larger charge air coolers. As told who should have the experience already made with the tip’s are welcome. and thank you in advance to all.

  • Warm air flap in the air filter box never completely closed?

    Hello together! Since I’ve just got free and it’s still too cold to get out the mop, I once made myself over the parts of my ex-volvos. Background: On Matthew’s Volvo side I discovered a post that deals with the fact that the warm air flap in the air filter box probably no longer closes so properly due to a rotten thermostat and thus above all warm air would be sucked in by the exhaust manifold. – Which would lead to power losses and higher consumption. Curious I took out my air filter box stored in the cellar and expanded the flap unit. If I suck at the vacuum box now, the flap switches wonderfully and warm air would flow through from the cracker. As far as possible. However, in the resting position, so if cool fresh air should flow through, the flap to the exit cracker still remains about 1cm open. That means it always flows through some warm air. Unfortunately the pictures shown on Matthews side do not agree with the unit of mine agree, I assume that he had a 10V, with which the valve is thermostat- and not underpressure controlled. Can that be? What does this look like with you? After that, turn off the flex hose to the cracker and see if he drives in any other way. Does your flap close completely, or does it always remain a bit open? Greeting holidaymakers

  • Crossbar exchange after 340.000 km

    With me now the crossbar exchange after 7 years / only 80tkm (3/4 city traffic DD) is available. Last exchange was with the “Friendly”, parts 135,-EUR/Stck.. On the topic of MEYLE already a lot was written here. Which are now currently recommended? With Volvo ́ I don ́t let ́ them change again. Would buy the parts and have them installed expertly.

  • no more power

    Hello together, short question could the turbocharger be defective? Vehicle accelerates quite badly but the engine runs tip top calmly, it does not give any error or warning message in the amature display. Automaton also switches top but somehow does not start speeding up. I noticed that the vehicle just slowed down when driving comfortably with cruise control because it went slightly uphill, it only accelerated again when switching down but also not very much. I’ve had this before and had some other symptoms. Let’s see if it’s still with a cold engine tomorrow. D5244T4 Merci and beautiful Gruss Slipenir
