  • Windshields fogging fast

    This rain weather at the moment in my S60 again leads to the fact that the windows have to be fogged relatively quickly and you have to use the Defroster switch quite often, which in turn is annoying because it gets cold and loud. I do not know this phenomenon of the rapidly fogging windows of my previous vehicles. Is this common? Does anyone know advice/help? Thank you!

  • Automatic tensioning roller Detach timing belts

  • Need help with drive parts search for V70 R AWD autm.

    On stage the diagnosis was clear. Both front joint shafts have to get out very quickly. Play without end! Who knows here where a V70 R AWD with Getr. 42 Awd autmatic stands on the yard. Or maybe good addresses where I get used parts from. Albert, Scandix, Volvo and Volvoranch I got through. Partly not available or at prices you fall from the faith. As a pensioner you do not have the big bills lying around in a staggering way. For the help many thanks Andreas

  • 850 T5 water boils over

    hej my t5, head seal new, head with the motor repairer pressed off, valve seats etc. made everything clean. new water pump, timing belt pipapo – runs like a new one. so far also great performance, no problems. I chased him up the mountain twice for the test. all good. only – I open the balance tank it cooks massively over – after forced drive. hoses are however never extremely hard. fan starts to run briefly. I don’t know how to open the lid – but I don’t have to check if everything is ok. why does it boil so massively over? the water really gets extremely hot at the turbo? doesn’t know that from tdi, since it makes even at 30 degrees and full gas only briefly hissic. fan is also not going on (beim tdi 50% fan at 94 degrees). thermostat and temperature sensor is new&original. display in the combi instrument is always 3h – white – what is the degree of faith?

  • Fiepen / XC90 / T8

    Moin together, I’m someone who likes to drive quietly. So everything out and just nothing clattering somewhere! Now I have noticed irregularly with my car, that when I go off, a noise comes from the storage (front)… somewhere direction passenger airbag. It sounds like a defective hard drive starts (Sorry… otherwise I can’t describe the noise). But that’s unfortunately not only when starting, but also sometimes when cornering. The power steering can’t be, it sounds different. Does the XC have a hard drive installed or what is installed in this area? Many greetings Daniel

  • PA2 and PA3

    Hello together Unfortunately, I didn’t find much help either in the forum or in the user manual.Can you help me with something? I have the Volvo XC90 T6 R-Design Mj. 2020 – how do I recognize whether I have the PA2 or already the PA3? – what are the differences between the two? When driving I don’t notice any huge difference. First of all, thank you very much for helpful answers. Gruss Ivo

  • Software I give up

    Moin, as the owner of a V90 D5 Inscr., who is allowed a car for over 80k € mountains, I don’t know how to deal with the situation: Does it necessarily belong to the vita of a current vehicle that the software has to be imperfect, overloaded, inappropriate or wathever flawed? Keys are not recognized, start/stop doesn’t work, or only occasionally, rhythmic knachmüße, instead of music, if you control the volume control the same cracking when working e.g. the wiper? That annoys me enormously and makes me angry. Constant workshop visits for updates? I watch that our paths separate, beauty is not everything, unfortunately I let myself be dazzled.

  • Air conditioning V90 stinks

    Moin, the topic has been with me since my first VOLVO (XC60 from 2014). In the meantime, I have the third (V90 from 12/19; and my wife also – currently XC90) and with each of my VOLVO the air conditioning has some unpleasant smells. Strangely, this is only the case with my vehicles, which my wife also have a much lower mileage and do not know the phenomenon. With my two predecessors it occurred each after more than 100,000km, so usually shortly before delivery, so that it didn’t disturb much. Now my just 40,000 km down and smells (feeling rather wet weather) very muffy again. The interior filter has already been exchanged twice. I have already wondered if something is wrong (automatic is always active), but could not find anything. Does anyone know this phenomenon?

  • Volvo V40 BJ2000 Source for seat covers + headrests disassembly

    At my wife’s Volvo (V40 BJ2000) a seam of the cover opened on the driver’s seat. For this reason I wanted to have a seat cover above the driver’s seat and the passenger’s seat so that it doesn’t look so stupid anymore. And there they were my two problems: 1. Remove the head restraints. I made a smart move on the internet like this and it worked on the passenger’s side. But on the driver’s side I don’t get the head restraint off. I feel and press the mechanical lock but nothing happens. The head restraint can’t be pulled off. Is there another trick I don’t know anything about? 2. Reasonable seat covers. What I wanted to pull over there were universal seat covers but the result didn’t convince me. The cover just didn’t fit properly and stretched over the seat. So returned. Does anyone know a reference source for suitable seat covers of better quality? The V40 has airbags in the seats. Would be great if someone could help me here. Patrick

  • Engine flushing

    I think it’s time for the right answer. With the upcoming oil change. The following is available: Liqui Moly Pro-Line engine flushing. As this has probably never been done with the engine (2001er 2.0T with 270,000 Km down), it is advised to remove the oil pan afterwards and clean it. Ordered or bought this here: Oil pan seal http://www.ebay.com/itm/360930201714?… As far as I have read, there is no fiber gasket for the oil pan because it is made of aluminum. Oil pan seal set http://www.ebay.com/itm/20191120506?… The manufacturer Reinz is by the way the first supplier for BMW, Mercedes Benz and VW. To the sealing set I have a question. Do you really need this? I ordered it because it doesn’t cost much, and I don’t want to experience any surprises when I have the bath off. And of course, get the oil filter from Bosch on Mahle now, because it looks like the original Volvo Nvio filter has got a lot of oil.
