  • Correct function of the belt warning device on the rear row of seats (XC60)

    Hello together, I have a question about the function of the belt alarm on the rear row of seats. I believe that this safety feature does not work properly with me. 1. Situation: Passengers get in the back and do NOT buckle up. I start the engine and start driving. Result: Display in the instrument cluster that no belt is used. However, NO warning tone is issued. 2. Situation Passengers get in the back and fasten themselves. I start the engine and start driving. Passengers buckle down during the ride. Then he descends and I continue driving. Result: Display in the instrument cluster that the belt is used at the rear right. With the warning (warnton) the warning is made that no belt is used. Even after getting out, the warning tone does not go out. I can either close the belt without the driver (which is not particularly wise at all) or make the car short. Question: Is this also so with you? Or do the rear warners react to you just as before? Many greetings Andreas

  • Integrated child seats in the fund seats at the XC70

    Hello. Our family is about to buy an XC70 MJ 2016. Now I would be interested in your opinion about the integrated child seats in the fund seats (family package) regarding safety. Are the integrated child seats as safe as a child seat fixed with Isofix? What do your children say about the comfort of the integrated child seats? Our son is 7 years and 125 cm tall. Thank you for hopefully many answers.

  • Heico performance data for D5 published on homepage 🙁

    I’ve just seen that Heico has finally made the power data available for the D5 MY2012 with the 4h of the engine. Should actually be a reason to be happy – but exactly the opposite is the case! There is not only no improvement on the MY2011 230 hp variant – but on the contrary: all the values have changed, despite 10 hp more (where are they actually?) significantly worse! Let’s go from the hand switch FWD: MY 2011 230 hp 0-100 km/h : 6,8 sec. MY 2012 240 hp: 7,1 sec. MY 2011 230 hp 80-120 km/h: 4,0 sec. MY 2012 240 hp: 4,7 sec. (only for comparison – even the 205 hp series variant gives Heico already with 5.1 sec.! at the 215 hp they do not publish it – probably the values of the series are better than the tuned Heico values!!!) The same game at 80-160 km/h: MY 2011 230 hp: 1,0 sec. MY 2012 240 hp: 13,1 sec. (also here the MY3.4 to the series!

  • My new S80 D5 Moose

    Yes, yes, because the new S80 is in the market hall and has to be out there. Titan grey on 17″ Cassini rims. Double exhaust pipes like a V8 and this with a D 5 engine. The first 2 km to feed to Aral and also the next km are clearly too rough in the engine noise even when the engine is cold. This is hopefully after the ~ 5. refueling. TANKEN First horror after starting. Only 600 km range. My personal minus record. To compare my old V70 D5 1.510 km after refueling. See also my entry in the range thread. Winter tires at Tachostand 36 km. Borbet Alu Felge in dark grey. Looks nice. At photos. Don’t let me ask. Greeting Rainer13

  • Used car purchase – What do you have to look for?

    Hello, so I have to get a new car and have discovered the V40 a little bit. But I have a) No idea about cars b) Not so much money. So as you can see, the usual problem Now I look inside in autoscout and mobile and see Volvos already for so 3500, for years of construction around 2000 and so between 100,000 and 180.000km. With the photos everything looks nice and the equipment sounds crazy, for one of the so far 0 equipment had. Therefore my questions: If you think about the purchase of a V40, what do you have to pay attention to? What do you have to ask, check etc.? What are typical defects? What is not so bad? Which mileages should be made when it comes to the check booklet? I have read the hand brake often causes problems. What does a repair cost? What does it cost with the Renault drive itself? From when is it there / no longer there? For tips and hints I am grateful.

  • Delete engine control?

    Is there a way to delete the lamp for the error indicator of the engine control? The reason is that the car was ticking like crazy when speeding and the lamp lit (but only after minutes) (the engine had already run warm). My guess was humidity or bad fuel, because it now runs nicely. A visit to the workshop resulted in reading out (by 23€) that everything is possible: valves, control, ignition cables, coils, candles,…. That was not very productive, because the cables, coils and candles were exchanged a year ago (similar error picture at that time). 100 meters after the workshop the lamp lights up again, even though the engine is brav purring. That’s why my question, because I would like to know how often the “error” appears. Oh yes: S40 gasoline 1.6l 109hp BJ2001

  • A new one had to come

    Good evening Elk friends, I had to separate myself from my V70 thanks to a motor damage. I had become so accustomed to the car that I had to buy a new one. After a short search with a small budget it became a V70I 2.5 Metropolitan this time. The car stand at a used car dealer with the following defects: ABS and TRACS light permanently on. Felx tube from the CAT defective. The ABS/Tracs problem I partly fixed with the soldering of the contacts, however, both still does not work although the self-check runs without error. I will take over the flex tube from the old Volvo or. I will take over the whole exhaust system, because the sound so great Furthermore, if the speed indicator falls off when I make a full brake, it will not show me any data about consumption or similar. I don’t know how I will deal with this problem yet. I probably have read that the ABS problem and the Tacho failure should be related and it should be the ABS sensors, but I’m not sure.

  • Volvo 850 goes out. Don’t start

    Hello dear Schraubergemeinde Volvo 850 Kombi 2.0l 126PS 93kW Built 04.1996 Gasoline I drove out of the place and, as usual, let it roll down 1km. The engine went off, let itself start again after a few minutes. 5km to the purchase, half way back to the garden (where it is still standing), then he didn’t want to. The engine came up 3x for a second, then only the starter came to the click. Had I earlier with my 9er, the mechanic, which unfortunately no longer exists, changed a relay and was good. Where can I find the relay? The engine did not make a bitch until now. Sludge flushing/oil change/ Liqui Moly 1005 oil loss stop, last week. Who can help me and thank me in advance.

  • Fuel pump lifetime?

    Hello together As individuals may have read, I have re-examined my 850s again and with the help of @Zug_Spitzer also got the cruise control back in motion. So now everything is ready to drive in one week to the south of France. But now I have a question about the petrol pump. A friend of mine stayed last year on the holiday drive with a defective petrol pump. He drives a V70I T5, MJ I don’t know. In addition, the screwdriver, who prepared my 850s, told me that this was a relatively common damage. just in the area of my running performance (330Tkm). But here in the forum I have read more about defective relays than about defective pumps. How does this look like with the petrol pump itself? by the way, he has pushed a used spare pump into my hand for the holiday ride. For all cases. And also showed me how to replace the part. Doesn’t seem to be such a witchcraft. However, I’m not being in a screw. It seems to be the opening of the big ring to me. But I had to say something about the big twist. I had to say that I didn’t have to say something about it.

  • temporary failure of a Xenon headlamp

    Moin, last Friday my left xenon headlight became dark for the first time. Was really off and only the re still burned. After setting off the engine and starting again was until just calm. Now it is out again. After the light off and turn on it went again. However, the joy did not last long. I can’t quite understand when it falls off. Before I now roll into the workshop and the headlight there does not fail I wanted to ask if someone knows the problem and in the ideal case maybe also has a solution ready. Already annoying if you are constantly dependent on the elk and its cargo space and it is now morning and evening or already dark. By the way, it’s about an XC70 D5 EZ 2009 with now 213,000 km.
