  • Protection ZV burns through

  • Brake discs, etc….

    So….because my front brake discs are slowly, but surely, an ever deeper edge, I have already made up my mind today, which should be next. I have no idea what is currently installed. The moose is only at the end of this month 1 year with me. I have decided for the following set: http://www.ebay.de/itm/400853008859?… Maybe I buy this together but also individually and take the Powerdisc for the front. The big question is, however, whether I need new/larger saddles, if there are any ones at all? At the front right, you have to switch anyway. I go out of a built-in 15″ brake system, since my FZ 15″ wheel is the only one.

  • Camshaft adjuster of camshaft dissolved without locking

    Moin together, I wanted to change my Volvo V 40 Bj 2000 engine 1.8 petrol sucker the timing belt, Wapu, tensioner, ULR… and the camshaft sealing ring (inlet, front side). I forgot to lock the camshaft in the icy of the battle. Doof, I know. . So I released the bolt from the inlet gear with the impact wrench. Except for the bolts nothing moved. Now I do not know if the camshaft did not stretch a piece. It did not feel moved. Nevertheless, my question is now whether I can see, for example, on the camshaft sensor wheel as the OT position of the camshaft is. I have not found any markings for the shaft. Ot position for the gear wheel is clear, but since it is an adjustable gear, this is not fixed on the shaft. I am grateful for every tip.

  • Refurbishment of seat heating ?

    Hello, this topic has been discussed many times lately, but no one could say more precisely about it… My V40 1.8 special edition has a full leather equipment, but (unfortunately) without seat heating – which I would like to retrofit now with ORIGINAL PARTS. Upon request with Volvo directly, this would be possible if the car is “pre-wired”. Otherwise this wiring would have to be done. The first dealer was of the opinion that my V40 was not wired, but the second confirmed that the wiring was available. According to the second dealer, then only 2 switches, 1 relay and 2 heating elements would be installed. …What does this look like with wiring? Is it done with the simple installation of the switches and plugs? And how is this with the famous seam in the middle of the seat, must be locked off the seat for the original heating cushions? What does this look like afterwards? Would the experts among you really super grateful for a quick answer!

  • Transmission flush XC70 necessary?

    Hello together, I have already read a little in the forum – most posts are however somewhat older and not really to my model (XC70, D5, 185 HP, MJ2008). My elk meanwhile has 230,000 km down – the automatic works still impeccable. However, I do not know if one of the previous owners has already made a transmission flushing – but I do not believe (only oil change Haldex etc.). Maintenance condition is in every case very good. TÜV without complaints get. Therefore the question: Does a prophylactic transmission flushing – and what will it cost me about?! One reads of the different providers, which do this – “Lohnt sich”. But they want to earn money after all! Since I actually want to drive the car the next approx.5-10 years and do not intend to sell the jewel, I will let this in each case the next time. The question is only: now or if one already noticed something – that can only be today, or in 5 years. At the V70 automatic D5 from my.Onkel is not made to the gear change today?

  • Navi update – CD/DVD not readable

    Hello, I now wanted to update my Navi SW old 760 to the new version and of course use the new DVD. When pushing the CD ROM with me comes the error message “This drive can not read the DVD”. Tests with shutting out, restarting the Navi etc. led to no success. Likewise he can not read any of the three new DVDs. Weird, with the “old” DVD he has no problems to read and navigate. Can anyone understand this problem? Does someone know a solution, except the: go to the friendly and let the Rehcner swap? Many greetings from Lake Constance Olaf

  • Exhaust gas workshop (incl. engine light) + emergency run

    love everyone, I have an old and annoying problem again … in the last time he switches again and again into the emergency run (have the presumption that it is the DPF) because I can “feel” a few minutes before how the power sinks and lately starts again the “gas workshop phase” that I had before. Error code was then the following: J742 (electrically stationary motor or something I don’t know anymore) was changed and since then the error also did not come any more what do you mean? can the DPF cause these problems? thank you in advance.

  • Ipod Video (5.G.) in S60

    Hello Volvo-Gemeinde! I have been following (reading) the articles on Ipod & Co. for quite a while, but have received some questions to ask me, not an exhaustive answer yet. – Does the 5th generation of the (big) Ipod, i.e. the video, work problem-free with the original Ipod adapter? – When is it possible to use it directly via the Ipod? Some wrote it this way, sometimes so. Can one “cause” this with intention? – Can one watch video on the Ipod (e.g. in traffic jam :-)) and the sound over the car or does it just go via USA adapter with jack plug? – Which of the many adapters (Volvo, USA-Spec, Boston-Volvo, …. / FM-Transmitter) is now recommended (sound quality, operation, s.o.)?

  • Fire escape of a new V70!

    Hello Elch-Freunde Bin just stumbled over this article…. There a new V70 suddenly caught fire for inexplicable reasons in Sweden….. According to the article, the V70 is a new car!!! The only two months old vehicle had 900 km on the clock at the time of the fire. http://www.aftonbladet.se/vss/nyheter/story/0,278931080,00.html The driver came down from the motorway exit, and suddenly noticed that his V70 had no more juice – a few seconds later the whole car was in full fire.. It was completely damaged! Volvo Sweden “caught” the wreck and tried to clear the circumstances of the fire. Gruss Schwedentroll

  • My lastVolvo

    This was probably my last Volvo: V70 2.4D Year of construction 11/2002: – Seat heating defective – Parking brake exploded at 160,000KM – error message rear flap open – pressure valve on turbocharger defective – engine additional heating defective – instrument cluster shows error message SRS Airbag maintenance urgent > defective – air conditioning leaks on the cooler and on pressure line – polternoise front axle It’s enough for me. The donkey rolls 800KM over the track every week and has all inspections.
