Hello to the round, I am thinking of getting an Auris Hybrid. My current vehicle is a Citroen C3 with 60 hp. This was originally intended as a city car. Due to professional changes I now drive more often highway (up to 500 km a day). Here the C3 with its 60 hp is definitely overwhelmed, because he can not keep the straight speed on gradients in the 5th gear and thus I become on two-lane highways to a traffic obstacle and I have to squeeze between trucks again and again. I am not a raster and make room for faster cars, but a car that is in the range 120-150 km/h reasonably confidently to move on the highway. If I would be well advised with the Auris Hybrid or the hybrid concept is not worthwhile during such long motorway rides. Thank you for your helpful answers. Here is the code for my configuration: 2aiNysf I also like to take advice.

Wiping water pump
Hello, yesterday with my 1.2 Fox the complete windscreen washing system at approx. -5 C failed. I changed the defective fuse – after that the windscreen wipers went again, but the wiper water pump makes a muck more. Wash water up to approx. – 15 C is in it. Can the pump be frozen? Then at least it would make noises at the pump,or? Fox is 6 months old and has already made huge trouble (tank flap warped – 3 hours replacement without spare car!!!, wiper blades rubbing – at 🙂 were only the wiper arms bent without improvement, clutch separates only on the last cm – allegedly no adjustment possible, consumption almost 2 l higher than my 99-ger Corda 1.0 l )

Engine damage XC70III
Good morning, so yesterday evening it happened. My first engine damage in the course of my driver’s history. When driving quickly on the motorway the engine slowed down very strongly to approx. 80 km/h and then the warning came in the display “motor maintenance urgently necessary”, shortly afterwards the second message “cooling medium level low, immediately stop”. When looking into the rear mirror I saw it then also: white smoke clouds rose up. I knew so far only from the Formula 1. I drove immediately to the right on the stand strip and waited for the ADAC, which attested a very probable head damage. Then with the tug to the . Now I am really curious what that could be. I was very upset. Especially since I had to cancel all appointments and had to take all the fun with ADAC/towinger/Is rental car, about 4 hours cost me. It is my first Volvo, therefore my question. Had someone from you already such a total loss?

D5er dreams of the VDU in the Volvo
Hello, I’ve almost become a fan of low or entry-level engines in the meantime. I always like the V70III better, even though I still couldn’t drive it in the 2.0D version. What I noticed is that the small diesel engine is not available with automatics. First I was disappointed. Today I get the information that Ford will install the new 6-speed “Power Shift Dopplungsgerriebe” in the new Focus in early 2008 at the 2.0TDCI for the first time. So could it be that Volvo will also get access to this transmission and therefore is only in wait?! Who has experienced a DSG that is not only more economical and comfortable, but also that one can move a vehicle very sportyly. There should say again Ford brings nothing to Volvo ….. Greeting Martin

V70 III really a swallowing woodpecker ???
Hello dear elk community, I follow these pages as often as I can. Unfortunately, for reasons of time I can only rarely participate. Especially the contributions to the consumption of the new V70 ́s or XC70 ́s interest me very much at the moment, since my V70 D5 II. elk is slowly getting older. So a new elk has to come. However, when I read from you, the consumption values (V70 and XC70 III), I am quite unsure. My V70 D5 from 2002 consumption at 140-150 km/h (BAB) under 7 liters. You don’t have to drive so defensively or even “sleep” for it. My wife created even 6-6,1 liters. (of course, then slower) Did someone already get from you to drive the new V70 under or by 7 liters? (of course without a traffic change to have become?) Are the factory figures still realistic at all? Then, what does the XC70 III or the AWD have to consume? If the new really consume between 8.5-10 liters, then maybe I have to think about a bit of a bit of a bit more than a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit.

Alfa Spider – Timing belt change?
Guuude Motorfreaks, came to this page while browsing and found out that there is a lot of expertise gathered here. I have a very specific question about my Alfa Spider 2.0 TS (EZ 9/2002): My Bella Maccchina is now about 4.5 years old and has 52,000 km down. My workshop has now meant that you have to change the timing belt at the latest at 60,000 km or at an age of 5 years. Since the proper rod costs money, I wanted to get a second (and third, fourth, …) opinion, whether this is true or if they want to generate only early order. Thank you in advance for your answers Greeting from Main

Alfa 2.0 TS extremely strong engine noise
Hello, maybe there’s one more idea. I bought a used Spider Bj. 2000 with engine damage. The engine jumped normally and ran a little unround in idle. With increased idle and more there are quite loud noises to hear. This one has felt in the cylinder head. It’s not the typical nailing of the phase adjuster. So, after careful checking I noticed that the cable was eaten off from the camshaft sensor. This I soldered again and started the engine again. Now it was that the noises were heard already in idle, besides, you got the impression that the engine somehow jammed easily. It runs so slightly jerky. After that I controlled the stuer times, these were ok. After that I did not dismantle the cylinder head. Head gasket is ok, nowhere burned. I still expanded all 16 valves, no spring broken, no valve crooked, no seat deformed. Everything was fine. The engine block looks very good in the combustion room. The piston can also be overly fixed. The piston shaft has a problem.

S80 – Cracking during load change (pre- and reset)
Hello Volvo driver, for a short time my S80 has had a relatively loud cracking in the range of the right drive shaft, drive shaft joints, wheel mount (at least in this area). This happens when I park for example and set back and forward. If I drive backwards, there is a unique cracking. If I then switch into the first gear and let the clutch come, it cracks again. It feels as if there is a certain game in the drive train. At least this reports my highly sensitive popometer. The cracking occurs also in this context of the advance and reset. Otherwise there is peace of mind. First investigations showed that the tap of the drive shaft in the wheel hub should be used again with Loctite. However, it should not be worrying (so the master of my Volvo workshop). Can anyone share this experience or even confirm it? Greeting to all Volvo enthusiasts S-eighty

XC90 Ocean Race D5 – Question about offer and DPF
Hello everyone. I drove an S80 until 2009 and rather by chance saw a nice XC90 at a dealer who jumped right into my eye. What do you think about this offer: XC90 D5 Ocean Race, 185PS, hand switch, Blaumet., Xenon, PDC, telephone, e. seats, driver seat with memory, cruisemat, disks darkened at the rear, level control, 5 seaters, etc. EZ: 08/2008, approx. 57.000km, 1. Hd., checkbook, makes a very well-kept – almost new impression. It should cost including new TÜV and 1 year warranty 28,000.-€. At the moment I drive a Zafira petroler, because I had serious problems with a passat with DPF. Actually I don’t want any more diesel, but the Xruck90 as a petroler will probably be a bit more expensive in maintenance. My question is now how it looks at the D5(185PS) on a long view, if you drive only country road? I have a duty of approx. 25km.
