  • Toothbrushes ripped, what now?

    So now it’s time for the ride. my timing belt is torn. and that’s only 40000 km after a new one was pushed in by the friendly one. That was 13 months ago. The car is now again at the same friendly and who thinks that everything is broken, valves, cylinder head, the belt of course and he means for the repair costs one gets a new engine. Then I thought, because the Riehmen died so young, this would have been a typical case for the Kullanz of Volvo. And if that had been within 12 months it would not have been a problem at all, but because that was the idea to ask me for the checkbook for the longer, if I was nice enough to stretch all 15000 KM, that was not me. What can I do.. should I write a letter to Volvo myself. Should I never drive a Volvo again. Or hire a Gutacher, who checks if they really changed the roles at that time. I have my 40000 Km that is not even the half of the lifespan that is guaranteed to me “.”

  • Installing China Navi

    Hello, have the following problem. Have my parents bought a 7 inch Navi. It comes from China and we have some problems with it. On the radio we had constant noise in the transmitter and at the car start (if the car stood longer) the Navi has always resected itself. The with the noise did not get there, but with the reset. Have the Navi first sent back with suspected on cold soldering point or software Probs. Now my question: Have following Volvo V 40 1.6 year of construction 01.06.2001 Have seen so far no Can signals on the radio plug. Is the correct that the Volvo has no Can for the radio yet? Because my consideration was still to look at the connection from the Volvo. Not that there are problems, the NAvi a signal expected or a signal from the Volvo comes back what always turns off. Has someone the plug assignment from the radio plug? Have bought for the Navi a plug on ISO and this dirks to the Navi. In the meantime, no one knows what can be done. Because the occupancys were also predetermined by the plug and the assignment from the Navi can help.

  • Misignition and bad cold start behaviour

    So now again the hopefully last problem…… So after which probably my ZKD is healing, I have to look for other reasons. Problems: 1. If it’s cold, the engine starts badly, should turn a few times, then it comes already. But it runs the first minute very badly, takes hardly any gas and Ruckelt with the gas supply very strong, I should nevertheless dare to drive it. Thanks to the heater the problem is usually not so explosive. 2. Slightly restless motor run in the stationary gas. The engine just runs not “right round” 3. Read out error memory: ECM-44 and ECM-45 misfire 4. Vibrations at 2000-3000 tours. If the engine is warm, I have only these vibrations, engine has power What have I already done: spark plugs are almost new, not yet exchanged. Zündkerze 1 shows however some “abschlagungen” after workshop lime, but I have 0 water consumption on 1000km air filters show no cracks or damage. (work sparely tipped on this) but the oil hoses would be well controlled.

  • Blind rear lights and the solution

  • XC90 Momentum or Inscription

    Good morning to everyone. What do you think about the new XC90? Most of the tests at this time are really good to read the Dapp? But I also belong to the fraction that is not quite sure about the diesel engine. My current E-Class has a similar power weight (250 cdi 4 matic, 205 hp and 500 Nm to about 2 t), but the XC90 is a very nice cabinet wall. In addition, you have to be at Mercedes, VW, BMW know what you get, they can build engines and gears. What do you think about the quality of the workmanship. (But I put in the category “God beware of storm and wind and cars that are from England”. Think you the Swedes can do that better or if you are spoiled by a German car that you will actually always be disappointed. But if you have to expect the same thing for me, I have to be sure about the same stuff.

  • V50 soft brake pedal/wide pedal path

    Moin together For a few days now, my V50 2.4i from 2004 has been having a problem with the braking system. The following are the symptoms: With longer braking distances (e.g. easy braking on the way to the red traffic light), you have to keep the pedal going to keep a constant braking performance. It seems like the pressure disappears with longer braking distances. However, if you push it through to the rear, it slows down so strongly that the ABS regulates. In case of jerky braking (driving braking) the pedal is completely normal and it immediately grabs the ABS. Brake fluid is changed without improvement. So far no leakage can be fixed. Brake discs and pads at the front new (Brembo) When fully crossed through to the stop and standing car, I have according to VIDA about 115 bar braking pressure. But really up to the stop. When the motor is switched off, the pedal becomes hard and when you kick it and the engine starts there may be some questions after it should be main minutes. Have tested on a slope whether the brake holds the pressure. But for that I have not stopped the pedal so easily, the pedal is kept on the exact.

  • Volvo C70 II Interior vs Interior V70 and V50 /Purchasing consulting

    Good evening in the round, I’m interested in a C70 from 2010 as a leisure and connoisseur car. In my family there is a V50 2012 and a V70 2010. The interior of the V50 is remarkably easier compared to the V70 for my terms in terms of material appearance and equipment. Also, I feel the space available for the front in passengers in the V70 as much more generous than in the V50. Also, the seats are much more comfortable. The V70 is for my feeling pleasantly restrained lean luxury. Now the younger generation C70 is based on the V50, which can be seen also on the cockpit. Unfortunately, I don’t have a C70 in my vicinity, which I can inspect, every offer means at least 1-2h journey in one direction and of course appointment and rumble with sellers. Therefore I hope for your experience as a quasi verbal pre-intend . Although it seems rather illogical, the C70 on all images on the net is somehow more powerful and also somewhat unworthy than the V50 is an uncomplicated car, but it seems to be a bit more compact as a pre-tend.

  • Light indicator

    As a newcomer to Volvo, I noticed that only by the switch can you see if the light is switched on. I lack an indicator in the speedometer, or can you set one? If yes, where and how? For a helpful answer thank you in advance!

  • Take crossbars from which manufacturer?

Metzger, Moog, NK, Ocap, Quinton Hazell, Ruville, Sidem, Triscan There are quite large price differences. Where is the quality at a decent price? Can anyone help me further? Thank you very much V

  • How to fix flaps from the trunk?

    Hello guys, I notice that my car just doesn’t want to give you any rest. The tailgate is no longer firmly anchored in the lock and the “folder dampers” (i.e. the rubbers right and left bottom) seem emptied or so, so that the flap is movable and causes noise especially in bad road. Is there, except felt glue pads, other remedy? Can you renew any parts so that there is NO more game between flap and body? What do you do against clapping interiors? Thanks for tips/proposals, Jacky
