  • Accident experiences Volvo …

    Hi together, we always talk about the safe Sweden in this Volvo Forum. The motto “Volvo for live” is on my key chain. The Volvos are called Swedes Tanks. I have collected some great pictures of Volvo XC70 in special coatings (police, fire brigade, …) – but – someone has seen a wrecked Volvo? Please (!!) don’t misunderstand me now. I don’t want to see any accident photos with injured or even dead (which is why I drive (also w for my many kilometers) yes extra Volvo). Just for the sake of interest the desire to see how a Volvo (most of all of course a V70, XC70, …) looks like a crash test. What remains safe, what is not. How stable is the passenger cell really, … etc. Has someone even had an accident with his Volvo (and can report about it? with photo?) and can now swear thankingly on the Swedes plate – almost from experience. Us all (and also the others!) always good drive .-) Tscha u Torsten – the XC fan

  • Change timing belts

    Hello together, have a seat ibiza bj. 98 with 74kw petroler. My seat has now 105,000 km on it I once heard that you have to change the timing belt at the time, the previous owner is almost 100 percent sure that he has done this already at 75,000 km so it would not be necessary. Unfortunately he has no more invoice and therefore does not know exactly whether the timing belt was changed ( don’t ask me how you can not know exactly, so he told me, understand It doesn’t either). So if you want to ask questions, there is some way to see if the timing belt has to be changed or should I have it changed now. But if that’s true of the previous owner, he was changed at 75,000 km about 4 years ago. And as thick as I did as a student, I didn’t have the money to make it fun. Hope you can help me. Greetings Sina

  • Buying a new Alhambra – Crazy idea?

    Moin! With a bottle of good French red I came up with a maybe crazy idea tonight: I plan to buy a Seat Alhambra in the 150 HP diesel version. I know that already very good discounts are possible at e.g. autohaus24.de. I would only like to use all possibilities. And so I came up with the idea to contact all 337 Seat dealers in Germany by e-mail to send me an offer according to my specifications. Question: Does that make sense or otherwise: Can I count on many offers? Bringing the e-mail addresses of the dealers together goes quite smoothly. Then enter a dealer in the address line, all the others under BCC. Then the first doesn’t know that I also wrote to all the others. Unless they do it like with Ford. Then I experienced the following: During the personal collection of an offer at the dealer A., who wrote down my name and the Angebo submitted to me t. When I called at dealers B and C they had me with the first offer of dealers A already in their computer system. So I don’t know if the planned procedure at the Seat Alhambra makes sense. This probably doesn’t leave a great impression if you catch up with 337 dealers an offer. On the other hand, I also have no money to give away. What do you think?

  • Stormproof Pavilion for Smart Roadster?

    Hi, can someone recommend me a pavilion for my roadster for the winter as much as possible with foil walls? Should be reasonably mobile (therefore degradable), but also not fly away during the first storm. In the garden there are 30 plates, so I could anchor threaded rods in it if necessary. Don’t want to leave it another winter in the rain….

  • damaged with wrong screw during tyre change wheel bearing

    Hello together this is my first post here. Last November I had a car dealer with whom I have been a customer for many years and already the third car drive my tires on winter tires changed. This is now the third change. This was always done in this workshop. My wheels are also stored there. Last week I wanted to have changed from winter tires to summer tires again. I was told that there was a problem with the wheel bearing and that they had a I could not change the tires. I should drive to Smart with them. I did that too and described my problem. There you could not imagine how such damage could occur. This morning I brought my car there for cost estimate. Before that I got the call back.The employee of Smart. informed me that either a screw was screwed in wrongly or one with broken thread, so that the wheel bearing was destroyed. As I said, it has never screwed anyone other than this Wekstatt there. The damage is 600Euro. Is there a mediation point of the inside or similar? That only if the dealer does not show himself. Thanks already once for your answers

  • Omega B – Y22XE – does not start at about 25 °C

    Hello together! I have a problem with my Omega. (120000Km) It has now happened for the third time that he did not want to jump on. The starter turned super through but there was no ignition at all. In all three times it was outside about 25 °C and the omi stood a little 14 hours. Each time I tried again the next morning at outside temperatures of about 10 °C he jumped without any problems immediately. Otherwise he runs great with 8.5 liters consumption and the MKL i spark plugs, fuel filters, air filters and oil are also new. Before I have a workshop run for many € troubleshooting if this is not at all waiting I wanted to ask you. In one post KurtBerlin wrote from a hose to the cathedral which expands or rejuvenates depending on the temperature? At NWS or KWS it can’t be when he always starts up again the next morning, right? many thanks in advance to you

  • Omega B – FL – NCDC2015 defective, bring MID to life

    My work Design Edition Omega had this high-gloss wood imitation that I wanted to exchange for my matte ones.When expanding the radio it was necessary to remove the front plate, otherwise there was no chance to get it out.The previous owner had connected it again in the cage with disc glue for eternity.When assembling the dummy I then completely bent the contacts of the front plate and my attempt to fix it was not conducive to the thing. In short NC DC with CID and telematics are now paperweightsAnd since I’m lucky to have picked up the right one, there are now 2 matching MID and matching wiper levers in front of me. Now my real question:Which cables have to be changed/connected so that I can operate my MID with the wiper lever?

  • Omega B – rust hole discovered in the wheel course. Heavy TüV deficiency ?

    Moin, when preparing for the upcoming TÜV examination, I noticed a crack or rust hole behind the crumbling underbody protection. It is clear that it has to be detected or a replacement bleach in, but I will no longer be able to do that in time before the HU. The question therefore – is this a serious lack of a supporting component or does it go through? With the photos. Driver side at the back, left to the door is the damage.

  • Omega B – Search good black combo, 2/2,2L petrol, AT, from year 9/97

    My company car has slowly been behind it and is now being slaughtered. My private Omega B will now succeed and in the future earn his gasoline as my company truck. I am now looking for another Omega B as a private car, which replaces the old one. After a long disappointing search in corresponding sales platforms (which spin there partly, what they want to offer and for their Omega B), I decided to go to the forum community here for a If someone wants to make a suitable, well standing car for me and also has a reasonable price-presentation. He should have these basic data. Combi, black, sliding roof, automatic, gasoline: 2L or 2.2L mileage : actually no matter Visual: He should already be top there Xenon and AHK would be nice. Offers please via PN

  • Your own rust precaution?

    Hi, how often is your jazz actually preserved against rust? What means do you use for it and at what time interval? Do you do this yourself? What to consider? Greeting Honzzi
