  • Volvo inspection at 50,000km?

    Hello dear ones, I basically have a simple question: I bought my Volvo with 34,000km last year in July, at this time an inspection was carried out by the friendly seller (Volvo dealer). Well, after almost a year he shows me at 50,000km “register for service” – to what extent should I follow it? Next oil change would be only at 63,000km. Or does this also refer to filters, look through, and similar things? Thanks for your information, nice greeting Volvo V60 T3, Year of construction 07/2011, currently 50,000km on the clock.

  • Problems with running the engine

    Hello guys. I have problems with my Volvo over and over again lately. And I have sometimes (it rarely occurs, so 2-3 times on 100km) very short rucklers/slips. Sometimes I had the impression that it is dependent on speed, but then I always failed to reproduce it. But I know similar symptoms of nem VW Fox, since it always occurred at the same speed and a new camshaft sensor created remedy. In the gas operation (Landi Renzo LPG plant) nothing was noticeable yet in the petrol operation. Was then with the V70 in a car gas specialist workshop where you have cheerfully replaced parts. New evaporators, new injectors, new spark plugs. Didn’t help anything. I then changed Lambdasonde before Kat, ignition coils and again spark plugs (now Volvo original according to advice in a Facebook group). With the whole new race he ran then for approx. 100km real cream, also on car gas. But then the Rucklers came back :/ A week ago it appeared for the first time that I also noticed Ruckler in petrol operation. Then I noticed that the engine starts cold perfectly, warm but very unwillingly, only after a few seconds. So can it have something to do with the temperature management? Had once received a mistake regarding the coolant temperature sensor and then replaced it with the thermostat (in June). Yesterday came however the glei Is there something wrong with the wiring? For tips and ideas I would be very grateful! Best regards Sascha

  • Make 850 TDI a classic car … … and how exactly …

    Hello dear Volvo 850 TDI fans, I will buy our old 850 TDI back from my friend and then try to save the Volvo for my grandchildren. the following ideas float before me: 1.) Log-out and 17 years mothed, then he is 30 years and hopefully a vintage car. 2.) Log-out and 2 to 3 times a year with red number a longer distance, otherwise like number 1. 3.) Log-out and register with uncles in France and continue normally (grey on long distance to “Modificatio 5.) Continue – is with tax and insurance too expensive. 6.) Clever alternatives to this? (Inlaying with the professional is also too expensive) So, a barn would be available with a good friend. Now fill in the engine Drying and “storage oil” as well as preserve and take up the car bodies? Which spare parts should I currently put cheaply to the side? Motor electronics, turbocharger, steering gear? … for a complete z TDI is unfortunately not a place. Thank you for your help to get the posterity an excellent car, to which the environmental zone has made life too difficult. Running performance is only 175 tsd km. Greeting Manuel PS: For example SLK it won’t be enough, an old Ford Escord I sold then for 200 DM, today it would be a classic – that doesn’t happen to me again; I never owned a Golf GTI. That’s how the “old” Volvo remains.

  • Inexplicable to me, cold water loss.

    Moin! Short and close…about 2 weeks ago I had started my V70 short, drove a bit back, maybe 1 meter, because I had to grow the underbody protection again. So….then done…Enjoyed the Sunday in peace, car stopped….Monday morning, kids threw into the car, got in and wanted to start, he jumped on and speed went down and out….First panic! 4000€ were sunk there last year. ATM, new clutch, new cooler, clean, original cooling flow I was surprised at the first moment… why always, battery charged and still a try…..Just juking…..So, even more panic! Then I thought….schei* on it! If he doesn’t want to do it anymore, I’ll crush him! But not for slaughter! : ) But then let it shudder until it smells funny, rubber. Then he jumped on and since then everything has been fine… He jumps again wie I didn’t want to start it for the one meter, but it was slightly oblique and I didn’t get pushed, or I always came back rolling. What was still after the engine change was a defective thermostat, or giver. Therefore, the thing with the underbody…I just wanted to leave the cooling water off/absorbe reasonably! But I also changed both components. In addition, there I am still researching, he loses some cooling water somewhere, etc. What was that? he. I can’t see where….how can I do it best? He doesn’t know….just in the morning, always short…But that doesn’t fit with the water loss, because the crowd goes very slowly fluted until it’s just under “min”!

  • v50, coupling defective

    Hello together, on Thursday it caught us again: Clutch comes, suddenly she takes off strangely and “glues” almost on the ground… ADAC then dragged me to my workshop. There the boss said that he can drive quite carefully (he could lift the pedal with his finger and if he doesn’t push it completely and lets it come quite quickly, he can drive it). He said that he doesn’t think that the clutch is completely gone. Today he did it again. costs for new clutch with installation incl. “water wheel” (means so? it has been noisy over the mobile phone) would probably come to 1,700. He said, I should think about it, because the car has already 200,000 km and then next year the timing belt is still standing. It is just a risk, because a car with this mileage can always have something. If I am lucky, I can drive it still 2-3 years (do so nearly 20,000 km a year), since nn it would be worth the repairs in any case… only, who knows what’s next? What would you do? LG!

  • Volvo v50 2.0 D light jerking in the lower speed range

    Hello, I’m driving a Volvo V50 2.0 D Mommentum. BJ 2007. The car has almost 40,000 km down. I have the following problem: From time to time I notice a very slight jerk in the low turn point. However, only if you keep the speed. Up to now I noticed this only in the 2nd and 3rd gear. Acceleration works perfectly. The car was standing some time unused in the garage (about 1 year). My workshop read the board computer for errors and found nothing. The mechanic recommended me to go on for the first time to see if it gets worse. Oddly enough, this does not always come up. I am grateful for every hint. Best regards Mark

  • V50 Basic Sound Wiring

    Moin Moin, after I’m through with the exchange of the interior equipment now comes the sound system. In addition a question: I looked at the amplifier in the trunk yesterday. From the amplifier 2 light conductor cables go forward as well as a quite thick plug with the box cables for the doors. On the radio front however no light conductors go away with me. There are also only normal strands for the boxes connected. Where does the light conductor cable go? How to get an Aux connection after I have found it here by now click . but : since the sound does not seem to go over the light conductors with me, can I switch behind the amplifier a small power amplifier again, together with the new boxes that I have installed should this already result in an enormous sound improvement or?

  • Door handle ticked

    Hey! With my V50, model year 2008, the door handle of the passenger door (outside) sporadically hooks. Sometimes it even hangs out. When “catching back” it bangs more louder than the other handles. Compared to the other three door handles, it also goes from the beginning rather rough overall. I have carefully lubricated the mechanism from the outside with corresponding oil. No improvement. Before I bother my dealer again: who has this too – is there a solution? Chris

  • Enter your consumption

    Moin, Would you like to know how many liters on 100km your moose can enjoy. Please write all relevant things about it like: -Model -Motor -Year of construction/Series -Fahrweise -Ort(Autobahn/Landstraße/Stadt) I drive a v50 year 2004 with the 2.4i engine. Consumed within the village is about 9litres in petrol operation, and about 11-12L in car gas operation. On the highway I consume at speed 100-120 about 7L petrol and 9L gas.

  • D5 – 205 HP: Recurring low coolant loss

    Hello driver of the above engine, I checked the car (V70, 12/2010, approx. 48000km) about 1 week ago a recurring minimal (0,2 – 0,3 Ltr.) coolant loss. My friend checked the car (V70, 12/2010, approx. 48000km) but could not discover any cause. During the 2nd attempt he had a message from Volvo, which described the problem and asked the workshops to write a detailed report. After my friend had done this, he received a call from Volvo Deutschl the next morning. and, with the release for a new engine. My engine should be sent back to Sweden immediately to investigate the cause. If I receive feedback from my friend, I will share it here. Who has similar experiences?
