  • Exchange/repair exterior mirrors

    Hello at my girlfriend’s Volvo V70 station wagon the exterior mirror was stolen on the driver’s side some time ago. Now I ordered a new one and want to mount it. The mirror setting works electrically. Can someone give me tips/photos for installation? That would certainly be very helpful.

  • Leaked doors on the C30

    I’ve had to find out that it comes from the area of the door seal (where the hole is for the roof rack). On the passenger side the same game. Is this a known problem or did someone have it here? Besides, the one foglight is totally wet. (Also known?) On the topic of consumption (mainly of PowerShift driver): How much does he need then with you? So I actually drive very reluctantly. Never kick my cars! To the university I have so 40km a track. So about 80km a day. In doing so mainly rural road (max 100km/h, rather 90). Under 6,5l I just don’t get there (Ohne Klima). Yesterday I am still looking for Leipzig (Autobahn) and have put the Tempomat on 130. That’s why I can’t be around the 8l. That’s what I’d call the Taff with the 2,4 of the moon.

  • 18 inch vs. 17 inch rims

    I’m looking for new summer alus and I don’t know if 17 or 18 inches. Which front and rear parts are out of price? I tend to 17 inches at present because of price but only because I’m half Scots

  • Tuning S40 MY05

    Yes, as the topic already says, it is about tuning. A question about whether anyone has already tried the following provider or what one could think of it. Up to now I had written to this company 2 times and asked for the guarantee, how it is meant by those, what exactly it includes and what of course not. But no answer came back. The price is almost unbeatable and the installation according to a video is even more correct. The traceability of the tuning should go against “0”, at least one advertises. Furthermore, it is only activated if it is really needed. How this is done now is a puzzle to me, because as soon as I give “gas” I also need performance. www.racechip.de/racechip-chiptuning/Volvo-S40-1-6-D-2313-r.html this would be the link. I drive a Volvo S40 MY05 1.6D.

  • Engine oil temperature read out at the T6 AWD

    Hello in the round, I use the Car Scanner Pro for my S80 T6 AWD. Unfortunately, the program shows me no value for the engine oil temperature despite the selected sensor. On my previous D5 the value was displayed perfectly. Does someone know something? Thank you!

  • Which brand trailer coupling V50

    Hello, you need your help. I want to buy a removable trailer coupling on my V50. Now there is a choice between Bosal and Westfalia. Can someone give a tip which coupling is better or worse? No cut-out in the bumper is necessary with the Bosal, at Westfalia it is necessary. At Bosal I have to have the car programmed at Volvo, at Westfalia not. I already know that much.

  • 8 hours after the warranty expires: Engine damage at 30,000 km – Volvo does not pay Ct.

    On the 18th of April, at 8 a.m. I stayed with my Volvo C70 (new price 54.000,–) with engine damage. It is the D5 engine with a mileage of 30,000 km. After consultation with Volvo it turned out that the warranty has expired exactly eight hours !!! Volvo is now reluctant to pay even one Ct.. On Kulanz it is not possible, because a proper inspection was made, but not in a Volvo workshop. For the warranty case this would have been ok, but for the “Kulanz” not. In my opinion not exactly an example of a car salesman in the upper market segment?

  • 100,000km in the C30

    So today it was time – on the A3 (Frankfurt – Cologne) climb Elzer Berg we filled up the 100,000km in the C30 1.6D. Only shortly the experiences again: Except for a refill of the coolant last summer no extraordinary preliminary achievements. 2 weeks after EZ there was a martenbiss, currently the air conditioning is repaired because a stone stroke has damaged the capacitor. Otherwise the little one runs like a clockwork, average consumption is 5,6l/100km. Until now there is also no snaring, no flapping – nothing. Even if I can not hear the word “premium” in cars soon, but on our C30 it is true. For our current needs actually the perfect car. Yesterday we drove a Golf VI 1.6 TDI Comfortline sample. In comparison, the insulation is more elaborate, but does not use so much at highway speed anymore, because the engine itself is louder and above all wind noise increases strongly. And the interior mood with every amount of hard plastic could not stop with the noble aluminium console of our C30 – I really don’t know what their car tip is smoking here.

  • volvo S 40 Gas conversion

    Hello, I might like to buy an S 40 from 2004. I have a few questions about this, of course. Is it possible to convert the moror from the 2.4 and 2.4 i respectively to autogas? My friendly dealer denied this. Do you already have people here who have gained experience with it? And what costs do I have to expect? I have even more questions, but that’s the first thing that bothers me most. Thanks for your answers. Mfg Markus
