  • Personal safety: XC60 / V70 / Passat

    Hello together, after which I had to see again a serious accident on the A1 a few days ago, I ask myself a question which I can not really answer by using the usual auto test pages (yes, the XC60 reached the maximum score at the ADAC). Are people in an SUV alla XC60 not better protected perse than drivers in a V70 / Passat? Shouldn’t the acting forces “distribute” themselves better in an accident in an SUV? I hope the question is not all too ridiculous.

  • Speed-dependency. Steering with touring suspension useful?

    Hello, I’m still configuring… Have I decided for the XC60 D5 Ocean Race in silver. Now the question arises, does it need the speed-dependent servo, if I decide for the touring suspension? karliba Thank you for the postings to the leather, the alternative to the Ocean Race would have been a summum black with leather sandstone beige, anthracite. I have seen three about 2-3 years old XC60 and then finally decided for the Ocean Race.

  • Water Intrusion Dashboard

    Hello, I just came from a longer highway ride in the rain, and my C70 has unfortunately become slightly leaky. In right-hand curves and when the ventilation is turned on, water drips from a rectangular section at the bottom of the dashboard on the left foot of the passenger. It’s not cooling water, but rain water: cold, clear, and odourless. It’s also not a large amount, but a rind. Before the descent, the car stood outside for about 2 weeks, and I didn’t notice any moisture in the interior. In addition, the ventilation in curves sometimes makes light running noises, but it has been doing that for longer – whether this has something to do with it? With two shabby photos: the wet foot mat and the point on which it drips as well as the bottom of the dashboard with the relevant opening. Is this a known problem? Where are the processes, e.g. from the sliding roof?

  • ABS error 314

    With my 96 TDI I get the ABS error 314 sporadically (ink right wheel sensor signal). The ABS control unit was soldered 3 years ago, so I would almost exclude it as a source of error. 1) With cold soldering point at the control unit came as far as I remember a whole latte of errors. Or can a single error also indicate a defective control unit? 2) What can one check on the sensor at all? Can it also be dirt? As I read, the exchange of this sensor is not quite as easy. The tank must probably be drained.

  • Brake no longer dissolves…

    Hi friends of the cared for ABS, I have a Volvo V70, built in 1998 AWD automatic 2.4 with now 262000km. Well, it’s time to get rid of the brake bar? Well, the brake bar can’t get rid of the brake bar? Currently it’s TÜV and everything is already prepared and repaired. Now I drive to the TÜV yesterday and notice that someone is braking without my help. I had the too fixed hand brake in suspicion. Again, the thermometer has shown 180° on the brake disc. Wheel removed after cooling: the most hot part was the brake block. had still 62°, where the disc now had 56°. The brake disc did not turn! Did then the brake brake has pulled apart something, so that the disc was again blocked. Now the following: Have started the car, parking mode, hand brake attracted, since the disc was still turning (until the first stop has turned).

  • Subwoofer in C70

    Hello municipality, I have a C70 convertible and want to retrofit the subwoofers in the backrest of the rear bench. They are equipped with Dolby surround series. Apart from the heavy price of the Dynaudio chassis, I would like to know if the subs can be easily connected to the final stage of the series. Supposedly it is an optically simple Alpine V12 where the outputs are intended for the subwoofers. Does anyone have experience with it? Or another idea? Thank you Borsti

  • V70II – Mirror housing driver side kputt…

    Hello hers, tonight at some point a full-honk tried to kick off the left mirror. I found it fully folded up this morning, the glass hung on half-eight and the case is sitting around now loose! mirror I got back in its position, glass is again where it should be and also the electric adjustment and the folding at the push of a button continues to work perfectly! With a murder-wound in the belly at the friendly call, because of repair, afterwards I was even more angry. Speigel is electric, heated and electrically foldable – to the 3xx.-€ for the spare part thus still comes the assembly costs, allegedly still 15 euro for the purchase of a software (Please WHAT????) and the programming in the BC too! Thumb value about 500 grind! Somehow I feel massively messed up by my :-), I have to seriously get a software DAZUKAUHEN, which only makes quite a bit of time with this one mirror What? And in addition I have to put on ~40.- Euro so that the mirror is programmed for me? And now I do NOT get a whole new deal, but anyway I want to make a whole new deal.

At Skandix (with me around the corner) new original lamps worried and built in……….nix……all dark functions of the air conditioning part work……….just no light Question : Is there a fuse for ?? or is the climate part shot ??

  • XC90 rear axle suspension questions

    Hello all, I found yesterday the “Console, suspension suspension rear axle left” (acc. to Skandix) completely rusted through. Have attached pictures. The question is, is there a repair instruction or tips / hints for the exchange? Can I just unscrew this part and exchange it? Unfortunately, I found nowhere else, Vida also does not show me instructions how to exchange it. Thanks in advance! Many regards!
