  • Volvo 850 Idling Problems

    Moin moin, for two days my moose likes to remain idle over 1000 revolutions. Sometimes even up to 1500 high. The problem can be solved in the short term by stepping on the gas. If it falls off from a higher speed, it does not exist this problem. I have already looked up the vacuum hoses and sprayed brake cleaners on it. He did not react. Then I cleaned the idle switch. Unfortunately, this did not work. If the engine however in idle so fast spins and I pull the plug off from the idler, the speed drops. When I plug it up again everything normalizes. Sometimes, however, it reacts extremely late on the plug. Do you have some clues?

  • V70 high oil consumption

    Hello, my V70 (BJ 98, MY1999) 2.5T (141kw) worries me. The oil consumption is about 2l per 1000km, trend rising. Current mileage 121500. I had already asked for this in the workshop at 90tkm, since the consumption was still about 0.5-1l per 1000km. The master thought this was normal with such an “old” car and the short distance (daily 2x 20km) does its rest. The engine probably does not lose oil, neither to house nor at the office are the ugly spots in the parking lot to be discovered. Is there a general problem or where you can start there? My workshop thinks you have to take the engine apart, sounds to me something “we are looking for the needle in the haystack” and not necessarily coordinated. I am grateful for every tip, I am almost thinking of changing the car, since the defects are increasing. –Michael

  • Engine compartment squirts at operating temperature

    Moin moin, And I have the problem at the moment that if I drive my elk at operating temperature and then stop that my engine room starts to smoke and stink as if someone was grilling. And indeed I had an oil change a few weeks ago (for lack of time this time not made itself) and there it started already. They have washed with the oil and everything was full oil made everything clean with brake cleaner and drove 2 days,doert also everything went well. Well h This happens even if the engine is warm. The smell only occurs when the car is standing and the engine temperature is never over 90 degrees. I hope someone can help me further what it might be where I should look. Mfg

  • Engine damage Volvo V60 D4

    Hello dear user, yesterday after our holiday in Italy my Volvo was divorced from life. Overall we drove in the last 10 days 3,000 kilometers by car. Yesterday on the return trip the unthinkable happened. We drove down from a rest yard after we made a short toilet break. When I then drove on the acceleration lane and accelerated, the car accelerated quite normally up to approx. 100KM/h and at once took no more gas a n. When I looked into the rear-view mirror I saw a black smoke cloud. So we saved ourselves with the engine switched off and waited for the ADAC. Today we got a call from the Volvo contract workshop and the nice gentleman on the phone told us that the car has a motor damage and we have to get an replacement engine. Cost point : 10,000Euro After I talked to the Vetragwerkstatt at our place today, he only said, Is that okay? I think it’s a bad performance for Volvo, because the car is just 3 years old and has a checkbook. It only has 79,000KM down. Furthermore, the car has been lying down four times in the 3 years due to problems with the turbo and every time again had problems with jerking during the ride. For 1.5 years now, the car has been running at the same time. n was quiet until yesterday… Here is a short list of the changed parts in the period from 14.08.2013 to 15.01.2014 – Charging air tube Turbocharger – Charging air cooler Turbocharger – EGR valve – Turbocharger control valve – alternator Can it be that these things were already harbingers? I had several cars that were already 20 years old and that had double on the clock and these never made such problems. I look forward to your feedback and hope you might give me a few tips k Greetings!

  • Trailer coupling V70

    Hello together! I would like to retrofit a trailer coupling on our V70 2,4d. At rameder find a removable ahk of the company Bosal with corresponding electric kit, which I have chosen.

  • Engine room wash yes or no?

    Moin in the round of the moose drivers, how do you stand on the topic of engine wash? Does this increase the longevity of the components in the engine compartment or rather result in consequential damage due to water in places where it does not belong due to the high pressure when washing. Can e.g. electrical components be damaged or corrosion arise on components such as thread injection nozzles, thus water get to places where it does not belong? Maybe still information about the car : XC70 Bj 2013 D4 Am Be sten please write me all your experiences with or without engine wash. Thank you! Greetings Sasscha

  • Steering suddenly difficult – what cause?

    Moin, with my XC70 EZ 09 D5 GT AWD 221 tkm since today suddenly the following problem: car parked in front of the supermarket. When driving off a more than heavy steering. The servo support is definitely no longer available. I then tortured myself with the car to my nearby workshop. Error messages were only shortly before the workshop. Battery symbol and red triangle. No further messages. Here in the forum have reported some of the failure of the servo pump. The battery symbol makes me a bit stubborn here. Battery is quite new and can not actually be empty. SH ran smoothly in the last few days and today it was only about 100 km over the AB. Greeting Thomas

  • 4 cylinders vs. 5 cylinders across models

    A warm Hej into the Volvo warehouse, the question has been asked many times, but mostly only in connection with a new purchase. The VEA 4 cylinder runs already for some time in all models and the 5 cylinder chirping still strongly (thank God) with it. There are certainly some that have changed from the 5 to the 4 potters, what have you done for experience? What are the differences? Would you do it again? Sure, there will be no new 5 enders in the future the more d …. -I’ll take my D4,- 5 cylinders after the leasing….I still have time, but if I had the current report here on MT of the V40 I would have to do it. What do you do or what do you think? Warm greetings from the slightly cloudy bath, Reiner

  • Track broadening

    Moin moin Once again I have pulled up my summer tires (Ford Titanium Alu ́s, see profile). But since they have an ET of 52.5, they are now quite far inside. I want to get distance disks for it to look harmonious. The tire hinsel said, I should take a water-wag and hold the at the upper edge fenders and then measure (tire hub to the water-wag) then I have about the size I can take. Gasaget did. The result is about 55mm per page,if I now get 50mm slices, do I have to pay attention to what? 50mm slices is already a lot. Or should I rather measure inside fenders/wheel?

  • Volvo 850 as a beginner car

    Hello together, GriasT eich ! Yannis is my name, I am 22 years old and I am away of love in 2011 moved from France to Germany (Munich near) I am currently driving my driver’s license and I am looking forward to my first car.Shortly after my first driving hours I wanted a 190 Mercedes as the first car (safe, comfortable and robust) but with safety like ABS or airbags I have unfortunately noticed that a 190 might be nothing Especially in me I could invest 2000 € to a maximum of 2500 € because I would like to start an apprenticeship soon Accordingly, I informed myself about other cars and then landed on Volvo.The cars seem to be robust and safe and with my bowdet I come easily to my desired car : No matter whether petrol or diesel, main thing : sedan with automatic transmission, ABS and (not or ) airbags, cheap with the insurance, enough horsepower and space for the in-laws if we are in the A usland Driving An example: http://suchen.mobile.de/…/187538088.html?… What do you think about my decision, do you think I could be satisfied with a Volvo What do I have to watch before I buy a Volvo (e.g. mileage) ? Same question for a smaller model like 440 or 460, it doesn’t have to be a 850er Thank you in the front house Yannis aka Captain
