Our otherwise very reliable XC60 Diesel doesn’t like to start any more. Completely fault-free off, he nudged the following day and didn’t jump any more. The Yellow Angel diagnoses “fuel pump”, which sits very advanced on the tank top of this model. Unfortunately not accessible from the interior. So all kinds of things have to be removed from below and finally dismantled the tank. Is there by chance someone in the forum who has already done this procedure before? I would be happy about all the tips! Greeting Smaxx

Ventilation smells like cowshed with a cold engine?
Hello, I bought my T roc Sport at the end of January this year. Since about July it stinks from the ventilation to cowshed. Where it was still so hot, I have almost always used the air conditioning. From time to time I started the car a nasty cowshed smell came to me from the ventilation. I thought maybe because I have not used the ventilation for a long time.. only air conditioning. Now since September I notice it extremely because I did not use the air conditioning. Every time the car has stood for a long time e.g. one night in the garage and I then hit it. Came every time this smell. So only by the normal ventilation. So as soon as I am a few kilometers of danger the smell disappears Have me at the car house where I have bought it and there was then a motor wash carried out, the man would have cleaned everything there and searched for animals. However, the smell has remained unsuccessful. Today I have an appointment there again and the employee said that he does not know what to do but the parts and that no one would pay me. I would have only had to blame the car park for it.

Swiss special designs at 960?
Hello, I’m not quite new, already had an account in the V70 forum, but it doesn’t work anymore. I finally bought the Volvo, which I’ve always wanted, a 960 combo (2.5/Bj. 95/Automatik). The car has always been registered in Switzerland. I would be interested to know if anyone knows if there were special equipment versions for Switzerland. Because the car has beside the usual chrome strip at the bottom of both sides still an approx. 1 cm wide decorative line (chrom-coloured, but no chrome strip) just below the windows from the rear to the front. Have seen on the internet pictures from 960s, which also have such a decorative line. In addition, at the back of the rear flap below the Volvo and 960 letterings is also such a decorative line plus a very narrow red strip and a sticker. Is this rather “Bastelei” from an earlier owner of the car or was something like that on a possible special model for Switzerland. See photos. Otherwise, the decorating largely corresponds to the “Prestige” version according to 960-model year 1995.

It’s a bad climate, so don’t come any further.
Hello together, I tried the search, but found nothing suitable. I bought my wife yesterday a lupo 1,4l bj 2001 with manual climate. Unfortunately the compressor does not start. Safety box on battery is already cleaned and it also gets voltage through! Fans also does not work. Vcds says climate requirement is there. Normally I have always discovered the pressure switch. At lupo unfortunately not. I wanted to have bridges now to see if compressor starts. Where does it sit exactly? I only found a 3 popligen. Mhh. If it is that, which bridges should be? Seat in the mudguard behind the wheelhouse shell on the right. Before I have coolant filled up, I wanted to see if everything works and only too little coolant is on it. Still what: if there is no pressure there, and the clutch does not pull, then the fan would have to turn on anyway? I hope you can help me.

Knocking noises in all corridors
My Lupo 3 L is built in 2000 and has 185000 km I shut down the car 3 years ago because I needed something with trailer coupling and I didn’t want to continue with the knocking noises. I always wanted to tackle the problem, but I never had the time to do it. Now my daughter is at the forelight and it’s time that I started to do it. But I wanted to listen before if the problem is known. So it’s a quite loud, speed-dependent knocking in all gears and it suddenly occurred. The car got a new engine at 41000 km and according to the previous owner already 2 gears. At 51000 km the complete clutch unit including gears and control unit was replaced again. Since then I had no problems with the gearbox and clutch, except that it basically switches rough for my terms. Does someone have similar experiences with the knocking noises? Before I start screwing, I would like to resort to the experiences of others.

lupo 3l with manual connection – coupling problems
hi. with one of my 3l lupos, converted to a manual circuit, the clutch doesn’t separate. moreover, the clutch pedal is very heavy. the whole thing is unchanged after inserting a new (automatic) clutch train. I can’t make a rhyme out of the combination of symptoms. if the clutch doesn’t separate, I would think that something is not taken away, so maybe something is broken or torn inside the gearbox. however, this seems to contradict itself with the fact that the clutch operation is so heavy. the actualization of the clutch is equally constant and does not make any noise. who can make a rhyme on it? the gearbox dismantling is a bit slow, since I would like to knock off all other (diagnosis) possibilities before. thank you for reading.

Chiptuning
I’m very grateful to my father for driving a V70 2 T5 with 250 hp. he doesn’t mind that he always has to turn the engine so much, if he wants to skip ect. . at 90 you have to switch it loosely in the 3rd and that might make him fun, but it would also be good if you had a little more NM and didn’t have to turn it so high. I mean, that a chip tuning would be exactly right there, he is not so convinced, since he has never chipped to compare it. also my mama always drives very thoughtfully, but also it bothers her, because before that she had a passat VR6, with which you had a lot more pull on the road, front everything is already in the middle speed range. moreover, also the fuel prices rise and then you have to turn the engine no longer so high? maybe that’s easy to believe. against that would be the increasing NM number and the circuit, which is not designed for it! but that’s a hand switch, but still has to make the ride more expensive, but the ride more expensive?

V70 D5 – Order – Persiverhadlunge !
Hello dear Volvo . Community ! Now it’s getting serious ! The Config stands, the price for my elk Comes (after some changes, you helped me very much – thank you again !) to the round sum of 41 000 € ! Before: This is a proud price ! (for that is also almost everything in it besides Navi ). Ask now the INSIDER: My dealer has given me a discount of 13.4 % + payment of my passat TDi 3000 € over list price. Has he finished with it or is there anything else in it ? How high is the margin at a (relatively small) Volvo dealer ? Is a day registration or a demonstration car worth it ? I FEW ABOUT ALL ANSWERS Summer greetings Karsten
