  • Transmission problems…I need expert advice…;-)

    Hello everybody, I drive a Volvo XC70, built in 2006, Diesel Combi, automatic. The following, curious problem occurs: As soon as the engine is a bit warmer (e.g. after 20min drive) the circuit in the lower gears does not work well at all. That means the car no longer switches smoothly, but extremely jerky. The car then switches over extremely late, at least from 3000 rpm and then the next gear pops in (so extremely jerky). Someone knows the problem od he knows how to fix it? I don’t know how to explain it better, but it’s really like that. No matter if you give little gas or much…. Thank you for your tips, Stephan

  • Compression Volvo S60

    Hello guys, I need a technical advice. my car (Volvo S60, 125 KW, BJ 2005, 58000 KM, of which 35000 on LPG) has recently started off badly. I thought that I found the error because a ignition coil on the 5th cylinder was defective. But that only minimized the problem, but not completely fixed. The car starts better with the new ignition coil, but still not well. The starting process is as follows. After the starter spins a few times, the starter jumps a few times. If I turn it off in D (it’s an automatic), it’s already dying off. Now I was with the friendly one today. They checked the candles (they’re new, they’re not 1000 km) and found they’re crazy, which would indicate too high a combustion temperature ( hilarious, I always thought, then his contacts glowing white). Anyway, you measured the compression. And look, cylinder 1 – 3, compre This is a funny thing, of all things the cylinder with the new ignition coil has the best values. Be a coincidence, the friendly one. And now the friendly one. That would be on the gas system (Prins VSI). The run probably too lean or too fat (real smart). But you can not check there. Or I had driven without FlashLube (is also installed). One has to rework the cylinder copper. Cost approx. 3000,- Euro. Somehow I don’t trust the roasting. I did not trust the roasting. e read that the compression in Ottomotoren idR is not the cause of start problems. But the friendly one saw this differently. Hmmm. Who should believe there. I also read, compression should be tested with warm engine. My idea is the following. Through the new ignition coil on the 5 cylinder this candle just ignites better. The other 4 ignition coils are just a little sluggish on the chest. (Zündspulen should be burdened more strongly by the gas operation). The oil film has been better sealed there. The neighboring cylinder has also been heated more strongly, which is why it also has comparable better values. And cylinder 1-3 did not get anything. Can that be? What do you do? I think I will go to a free workshop and let it measure compensation once more. Does that make sense? LG Lothar PS. The same contribution is also available in the forum Gas Fuels

  • Wide rear seat

    Hello, I am currently driving an MB Viano, which is a disaster in terms of processing and has to go before it mutates to the savings box. What comes after that? We have 3 children, 3+3+7, but do not want to drive around with a sharan. Either bus or car. So a combo. The problem with combos is the width of the rear seat. Volvo V70 and Mercedes E seem to have the widest and I could imagine that our child seats Concord Lift Evo PT fit on the seat. But I’m not sure. The seats are at the bottom 43cm wide, at the top 48cm. Does someone have experiences with 3 seats on the back bench or would someone be so nice to measure his bench, possibly also with indication of the belt position? Thank you for your answers Greeting Hartmut

  • Is there something wrong?

    What do you think of this offer:http://suche.mobile.de/…/showDetails.html?… According to the DAT rating, the dealer purchase value is 9083 Euro! Is this a bargain now or have I overlooked anything? I think feverishly. The location is also 266 km away from my place of residence. But you don’t have much choice with the model…. I would have a used car check from the TÜV or Dekra carried out before, of course, if it is allowed.

  • Volvo XC90 wheel bearing rear

    Hello! Would you like to know if it is normal that at 15000km and after 1 year the rear wheel bearings are in the bucket.Although they have been replaced on Grantie, I find that very special.The master has said something about conceptional errors? Is there already new map material on DVD for 2006? MfG

  • Identify V70L vacuum pump flaps.

    Servus on all sides, I have already read in other threads that one can simply determine whether the vacuum pump causes the flapping by stepping on the brake. When ́s it gone, it was the vacuum pump. Now the question: does this also apply to the automatic machine? The brake pedal also acts on the gearbox. lg -helmut

  • V70 1 Turbo Gasoline – Stabigum Problem

    Hy, this year was where a threadele about the stabilizer and its rubbers in here, but found it no longer via “search”…? Anyway, so it was said that the turbos all like to vibrate on the track, which one does not get away with looking for do. Someone changed the rod rubber, another like the whole Stabi, and it should have improved. Now I wanted to do this too, and the workshop got the rubbers. Just bell down and the 2 part new gum on it = Wun All Stabi out, and they thought they were just rusted and they put them down, then they see that the delivered ones don’t fit, and now they’re the original part…. Pustecakes, which the parts are vulcanized on it, and the Stabi is only completely from the friendly=joy & hurrah…… Not only the wraps with the turbo, and that a steering cuff as well as a stop buffer for the rear spring cost a fortune (about 50./stk.), and this is nothing in the replica, this is the next I’m talking about the front bar of a V70 1 year 11/99 2435ccm 142KW 2WD Thanks

  • Heico chip tuning and the tires (senseless) ?

    According to Heico (TÜV-Nord) report, after the chiptuning of the current D5 from 185 to 210 hp, the tyres must also be changed! They prescribe that you have to drive from now on with “V” tyres (up to 240km/h), although the top speed is 203km/h and actually a “H” tyre (up to 210km/h) should be enough. So you better leave your fingers away from Heico-Tuning, because you can’t support such nonsense or? !!

  • V70 2,5 tdi Bj.97 with fuel problem

    Dear Volvo friends, I have often read helpful information here – thank you to all the good hints here – but now I have a problem that it is not possible to settle satisfactorily even after several workshop visits. Out of the blue the diesel went out during the last vacation, but then jumped again and also stuccoed more than 300km back home. At the external check of the machine still on site I have a diesel leak in the return line of the Einsp I had hoped that this was the cause. At the following workshop visit line renewed and everything went out first. Then he went out again after approx. 15KM spontaneously – error code said: fuel quantity faulty – next time: fuel quantity control faulty … diagnosis of the workshop: probably the pump is defective(?) – exchange may not be worthwhile – with the old car with 326TKm … Long research on the Internet has me suspect everything possible – but I should let Vo… read out the errors more precisely, then I would be smarter. Since the same thing: probably pump defective, 1500.- without installation, the next please … I drove completely down with it home and decided to continue researching and just continue driving to see how sluggish the pump can be: My results so far: it consumes 6.3 L as always, accelerates normally (up to 3000U/min – I have never kicked the old machine) and goes – > Before going out for the first time, I drove over a track with a washboard, then after five smooth kilometers it went out, so I first examined all the plugs, contacts or loose parts and found nothing. Where should I continue with the search, the ideas go out and I can’t believe that a defective pump is working so “normal” and then it is turned off. I hope that one of you also scho n experienced and can help me on the jumps – I don’t like to give a nice, though old Volvo little on the scrap – just because the rep is not worth it… Thank you in advance

  • V70 LPT smells pathetic of burnt oil.

    The priest will soon be able to carry his black patient to his grave. Today, as usual, he rolled from WOB to Hanover very relaxed with 130km/h, when I had to find out in Hanover that my black brick smelled massively after burnt oil. On a supermarket parking lot I saw in the rear-view mirror in the light of the headlights of another car, that it smokes properly out in idle. I don’t feel like it anymore. Track rods are also gruff and should be done “quickly” tomorrow. Now just before Christmas and the upcoming ski holiday still a turbo or engine damage, I don’t need that. It’s striking that obviously the oil fill cover is no longer dense and oil is always on top of the valve cover. I take off the decorative cover now and look at the candles. That stinks again… t runs quite quietly and inconspicuously. No dropouts and even performance are there. In the past there was always an oil drop on the tube for the compressed fresh air. I have the hope that it is “only” the compressor who said goodbye. To get a butcher for a swap engine, I have no time nor desire. Shit. The Volvos always went so well. That’s the first patient who is so right for wrinkles and gra ue hair cares. Cheers.
