Moin love Volvo friends, so I have to say I really like my S60 from 2005. He has only 142,000 km down and is all around in a good condition for a 16 year old car. Only one thing really goes on my cookie and clouds my joy at the car now: the seats crack! Above all the passenger seat, but since the latest also the driver seat a little. I have tried with the full leather sports seats already by now all possible seat settings. Whether at the top or at the bottom, at the front or at the back, they crack at load displacement. So speak in curves. It sounds like a metallic snap or a cracking stop. Sometimes several times per curve. It is also noticeable. I have the feeling it comes from the tracks. If necessary I can also try to record the whole thing by video. I have already completely removed the passenger seat and again installed it and paid attention to the fact that everything is properly tightened. Does not help. Does anyone know this problem and/or has ideas what could be done there? I would really be grateful for tips, since this condition has never been upgraded to me.

Hello dear Volvo driver! The speedometer of my S60 has failed and was only at the beginning of the Bosch service. But the specialists unfortunately did not get it there. As a result I was at the speedometer service and there the repair was very expensive, because the specialists at Bosch have damaged it! (processor at the board was damaged).In addition, that also it can not be assured that the speedometer is running again! Also a new speedometer is very expensive according to Volvo! I wanted to ask if you can buy a used one, or if it is possible at all! I asked Volvo if you can learn a used speedometer on another car, but they could not answer me either. Does anyone happen to be able to do this? I need your help people because it is possible without speedometer GURNICHT! Thank me now for your answers Volvo S60 Bj. 2002 2.4 D 131 PS

Dear community, I will soon have to renew the brakes on the front axle and am just looking for material around. Now there are at Scandix punched discs by Zimmermann in the offer for approx. 50€. Up to now, Zimmermnn as brake manufacturer was no concept for me. Is that something neat? I don’t want to save on it. Which coverings fit well to it? Besides, I think about installing new brake calipers right away, because I sometimes hear a Schelifen from the beginning. Now there are also repair kits, has the sense and if someone has a nice instruction? Vida has nothing.

Hello dear Volvo experts, I’m about to buy a Volvo V70. I’m quite insecure because many people advise me not to. Now I have an offer where I don’t know how to decide. The car is built in 4/2004 and has 140,000 km and costs 11.500 EUR. What bothers me most is the high mileage. Although the dealer says that should not bother me, the engine puts away that loosely but what is with the wear symptoms of the transmission, exhaust etc. I need your help for my decision-making. Who drives a Volvo and is it really that the kilometers driven don’t play such a big role.

Hello! I tried to change my lights on the radio and climate control panel yesterday. Unfortunately, I was alone and tried to switch with the battery, just that. However, as I had to find out, there seem to be some covers or similar installed from the rear of the whole unit…. But that would mean, you really have to disconnect the battery (VCG specification according to) etc. and completely plug it off and remove the thing to change the lights…. And how exactly does that work then I wouldn’t know… Did someone happen to have a guide on what exactly to dismantle there? Or should I go back to the retreat with my just bought lamps and let it do it? And if, what does that cost? Or did someone ever do it themselves at an XC90? Thank you already! Gruss Paddy PS: Yes, I used the SuFu, but unfortunately not found the XC90…or is there a guide for other models that corresponds to the XC90?

Dear Elkfriends, I have now gone through and will soon become the hardest of my heart to separate from my beloved S80 2.5D, BJ 2001 – and only because of the rotten fine dust badge. I bought my elk anno 2006 with 104,000 km for 10,500 euros. We immediately became friends at that time (I had a 960 combi, i.e. already elk trainer experience) and now spent almost ten years and 274,000 km together – tacho stand today 378,000 km. If I distribute purchase price and repair costs over the years, the car cost me in the month silly 130 euros and never let me down. I am sad …, but you should look forward. And that’s exactly where I’m not looking right now. I’m looking for an adequate successor – with particle filter, but still before the body change, so if I see that right, until BJ 2006? If I remember right, then the immediate diesel successor has already got after my S80 (the one still over the uncaputable Audi T-motor) and there was something to be recommended for the engine? And then thanks for the engine.

hello again, I don’t know why, but I didn’t really have the impression today that the mechanic(?) had seen something like a sweden tank at all, but I was suspicious and had to go in again, on ́m Li..parking place, and see there it lacks the fire gas drainage. not there, just a hose that lies around there and I had already printed 139 out of the operating instructions (because of the 10 min forced pause after ignition). the battery had ordered the master after vehicle registration (minor), then the actually had to own a fire gas-abltg, or not. can I now drive through the prarie or would the nem suicid come immediately????? to answer am I looking forward to thank you, Willvo.

Hello dear MTler and Moose Drivers! Because I am too lazy, too untalented and too “sparable” to install a car radio with MP3 capabilities, I have evaded the Yatour alternative. Installation – relatively problem-free function – relatively problem-free Relatively because 1.) the cable for connecting the car radio to the Yatour is a little short. The Yatour should actually be installed in the storage compartment in the center console. However, the cable is about 50cm too short. Question: Is there an extension cable or longer cable available for sale in the trade or is here someone who could solder something like this to me? 2.) the device puts a kind of howling on the speakers in operation. Directly depending on the speed of the engine (vrmtl. alternator). The howling is good to hear with quiet music. Question: What could this be? The Yatour is connected to the car radio current connection by means of power thief. With every gas giving “heart the noise in the loudspeakers” accordingly. Have I misplaced 02; I forgot to install any of your radio filter?

Moinsen, today the elk was supposed to get its new oil trap. So it was done and everything was dismantled and then the shock: Both holes in the engine block were completely dense with oil charcoal. I carefully tried to pour out the stuff. When the holes were so far free, I took out more stuff with a wire. I found out that the holes are open at the right angle and there is also oil coal in it. I am sure that parts have also migrated into the engine. So the elk. Tomorrow is going to a self-help workshop. My plan is to dismantle the oil tank and clean everything. My question is: Does anyone know how the nodding channels of the drilling continue? Is it going directly into the oil tank? In another Volvo_Forum I have just read that the channels do not lead into the oil tank. But how do you want to clean them and where do the channels go??? Who can bring light into the dark? Oh, yes… is it right that the oil bath “only” is sealed with means?
