  • Starting sometimes takes 3 seconds

    Servus bin neu hir im Motortalk Hab ein Problem mit meine Volvo V40 1.8 Bj2003 Abundzu jumps after 3 seconds first on no matter warm or cold the engine sometimes goes 3 days good is nothing last 2 weeks is once again well gone and time and again he does not want to start immediately. All 1-2 Wochn lights up the immobilizer light times. At the new start is again off. Have already let the Volvo dealer read out error memory error message: Communication to the control unit lost. The master said it can have the motor control unit or immobilizer control unit a make or have a cable from the motor control unit to the immobilizer control unit interrupting. The last 2 weeks was nox but the last few days he zicks against a bit. As soon as the car runs impeccable Have you ever had such a problem.

  • Exchange of the car radio HU1205 – Subwoofer no longer works: meaning of the plug in the V40?

    Hello, I had to replace my (according to the workshop defective) HU1205, which was originally installed in the V40, because it pulled too much power in the rest state and so regularly emptied the battery. Now I bought and installed a new Kenwood KDC 455UW, whereby the SUbwoofer in the trunk no longer seems to work. Now there are four cables in the car, of which I could already identify 3 – I attach the photo times: the wide green and wide gray are clearly attached to the sockets on the radio (by ISO adapter). The right small in the picture should be the antenna (also connected by adapter). But what is the left one in the picture? That is a “subwoofernated” cable. Could it be related to the subwoofer? The radio also has 2 Cinch outputs for such purposes. Or is the fourth cable something concerning the Navi in the H1205?

  • Is a V70 automatic / petroler with 150,000 still a purchase recommendation?

    Hello dear experienced, I urgently need your advice. The question: Is a 10 year old V70 2,4 (automatic / petrol) with a mileage of over 150,000 kilometers still a purchase recommendation or should I leave my fingers off such a car? What time is there for a V70 petroler with this mileage still ahead. The background: I am a wheelchair driver, must sell my beloved A2 (handshift) and get me an automatic, which I can then convert to hand gas. Importantly, it must be a big one, because in the meantime I have bought a handbike. Means: In the car I and my loved one, on the back bench of the dog, behind the Rolli and the hand bike plus weekend luggage and finally on the trailer coupling of the bicycle carrier with the wheel of my loved one. Listens to how a circus, but is only the pleasure and joy of active life 🙂 Since the conversion already will inevitably devour some money, I do not want to make the mistake and when buying a car carelessly put on the wrong horse. What is your good advice?

  • Check the scrambles?

    Hello, as part of the setting of my LPG system, I came across the following phenomenon: The trim values require much less correction under load than, for example, in sliding mode. In other words, under non-load, the engine tends to skim off. LMM is new, the suction cam should be tight (excessive brake cleaner test), Lambda probe delivers nice values… A Forian now said that a defective cracker can lead false air to the Lambda probe. And with the 5-cylinders, there is already that. Now my question: How can I test this? Stage is not available, but bucks. I also have gas Leckscuhspray, can I use that? Do I have to dismantle what? I have already stopped the exhaust, the engine did not go out, but it became very difficult to withstand the pressure.

  • Volvo S80 2001 – Radio HU-601 – how to remove control unit

    Hello together, I had just upgraded my o.a. radio. I wanted to replace a pear and repair a pressure button without a pressure point – but I didn’t see any way to get the control unit off (yes, it’s clipped outside) but… It must still be “somewhere” screwed … I had almost everything dismantled the side panels, CD players etc. – but “no way”. Can anyone help me here? I have already searched extensively on the net (so please don’t use any answers like “…use the SuFu…”. Thank you Udo

  • Moisture in the interior

    Volvo V40, 1.9 D Built 10/2003 Hello dear fellow contenders, I have a serious problem: The car attacks very strongly at cool temperatures and gets really moist inside. Where can water penetrate, where can processes be clogged? Exclusion procedure: – Automatic air conditioning in the summer at Bosch refreshes – Pollen filter new, leaves removed – no water in the trunk (mould dry), even in heavy rain the area around the third brake lamp remains dry – the car is standing in the underground garage at night, but at the evening start from the office I have to constantly wipe inside and, if necessary, to the right, because the windows are completely fogged – after a short drive the air conditioning shows effect and gets somewhat dry Please help me with hints on other posts (have searched the forum several times) or with good advice. . Thank you Patrick

  • Volvo-Pro makes sense for priate customers without leasing (cash payment)?

    Hello, is a Volvo Pro contract with maintenance/wear/repertures for an XC60 MJ 2012 useful? Running power: 13,000 km / year Running time: 5 years Costs of 1000€/year and ultimately around 500€ for the 5 years come together. Normally it would be 5 inspections a 400€ [2000€] and 1000€ for the nromal Pro connection guarantee – thus maximum 3000€. Can the Pro contract be terminated prematurely (so let’s say after one or two years) without financial disadvantages if you sold the vehicle and bought a new Volvo again? How are the experiences of the long-standing Volvo drivers – or would the normal Volvo connection guarantee (limited to assemblies) be more useful?

  • Consumption S60 D3

    Hello Together, for a month I have been the owner of a Volvo S60 D3 Momentum. It is a leasing back runner, BJ October 2010 almost 30000km on the clock. So far I am really totally satisfied…the best car I have had so far. Processing, operation, driving comfort……just everything first cream. Only when I was filling up for the first time today my joy was a bit clouded. Consumption according to on-board computer at almost 700 km 6.5l/100km, as far as I thought so well. However, it is calculated 7.5l/100km!!! I am aware that this engine never reaches the consumption values from the data sheet, but with such a consumption I definitely did not expect. Just because I drive almost exclusively land road with Tempomat at 90-100km/h. As I do speed up and then turn it up and let it roll. I don’t even want to imagine how much of the swallows if I give him the spores properly. How do you see your consumption values (calculated and on-board computer). Bzw. How and when do you switch? Should I call to the consumer when consumption remains so high with Alex’s greeting profile.

  • Volvo V70 which D4 engine?

    Hello everyone, Would like to buy me a young V70 with diesel, km up to max 50,000. In my price region there are some V70 on the one hand with 163ps with 6-speed automatic, on the other hand with the nine D4 with 181ps with 8speed automatic. The new four-cylinder with automatic should be “superior” according to all the reports I have seen so far. What combination do you recommend or have experience. Black Edition equipment variant is offered more often. This is based on Kinetic. Does anyone have experience with this equipment? Look after full cabin. Thanks in advance!

  • Start Prevents Again Try

    Hello, I have the following problem with the S 80 D5 Autom., about 47.000 km, almost 2 years old (so still warranty !), can someone give me a hint ? The car can sometimes (often) not let go. After switching on the ignition appears in the display the message “Retry again Start prevented”. I then sometimes have to try it several times (keys out-pure-Zündung on, then irnndwann the message extinguishes). That’s not bad so far, but annoying – and I am afraid that it will eventually not work at all. The workshop has no solution yet, the error memory shows no error after reading out. Have had already had the same problem with the second key already, so it can not be on the transponder in the key. I can only imagine that it is connected with the immobilizer. Has someone already made the experience ? Otherwise I let everything to run the warranty time again, i.e. u.a. now replace the left door rubber, after the right already one year was due (miese quality, do not keep the D vu with perfect , but try the automatic again).
