  • rolling microwave

    Among other things, the V70 2001/2002 had no mass cable from the battery to the engine compartment, but was only connected to the body with a short mass cable directly at the rear. Due to the significantly increased electromagnetic radiation in the passenger compartment (measurements took place in Sweden) a Swedish newspaper headlined: The rolling microwave. Whether dangerous or not, I accepted the Volvo offer at the time. (continuous additional cable to the engine compartment free of charge, installation (wage) charge. If someone looks up the battery of his new V70, there are still only these short mass cables (black) directly to the body.

  • Pictures of the XC 90 SPORT

    Today it was time, I was finally allowed to visit an XC 90 sport live. In direct comparison between advertising announcements and subjectively shaped personal feeling there were ups and downs. The highs prevailed. So in detail: Alumatt mount of the side windows – simple elegance ++ roof beams with aluminium rail – very noble ++ revised inscription steering wheel – lies well in the hand ++ instrument panel in blue – pleasant color play ++ inserts in aluminium – sports version – (had one the sc hwarzen points on the beautifully smooth brushed aluminum omitted, then it would be TOP – I thought about removing these points together with the seller ) Sports seats Side stop +++ Sports seats Design – getting used to – but better than Premium 2004 + The 19 Zöller +++ (am actually no friend of big rims!!) The aluminium strip under the doors ++ (please don’t attach any stepping boards, that would be optically wrong) Aux In – at the height of the cup holder — (is probably a model Yahweh) r 2007 Frevel) Exhaust +- (for me completely unimportant) Conclusion: I remove the executive and summum version from my configurator…. I am not yet clear about the motorization (3.2 or V8)… Greetings Thomas …..give me a few minutes for the pictures

  • Volvo V50 purchase advice

    Hello together, I have been reading here a little longer with no matter which brand or problem I had but now I have to come up with my own topic I am looking for a small combination for the family that is reliable and economical. The good one should make the trip to Sweden once a year and is otherwise moved probably in the year +- 5000km. To this end the car should have a trailer coupling due to the circumstances( I would like to estimate a retrofit to approx. 800€ completely?) it always comes to electronic problems and that probably also with the possible PDC is not very compatible. As a budget we had thought of up to 800€, which I would not like to excite. I have already read something with the engines and fluctuate again and again between the 1.8 petrol and the small diesel engines. In addition, I wanted to try to get an FL, which becomes difficult with the budget. There are nice petrol with approx. 140000km, BJ 05 without Equipment for good 550€ unfortunately without AHK and equipment. However, the relatively high fuel consumption of the petrol engine bothers me here. The most important thing would be to find the right engine now. The diesels have mostly problems with the DPF and generally an expensive maintenance + control. The petrol engines in turn have a too high fuel consumption. I would be pleased about your experiences and opinions. VG Marcel

  • Sound on the drive shaft at the front left

    Hi guys, for some time now I’ve been seeing a quiet noise on the left front axle. The noise is so quiet that my passengers don’t even notice it, but I can hear it and even feel it at higher speeds by a very easy knock on the steering wheel. When I start driving, when I hit the steering wheel a little bit, so not straight ahead, it’s best to hear, because it makes tack tack tack …… and as soon as the wheels go into the straight show it’s gone. Abe r as I said, it is only during acceleration and with a hit steering wheel. If you drive at a moderate speed about 50 km/h it is not to be heard, but with increasing speed, so at about 80 km/h one hears a dull quiet fast rearward following tuck tuck tuck ……., moreover, a small imbalance on the steering wheel is to be felt. It happens to me when giving gas, so when the drive shaft is loaded, it gets worse. From the tire or the wheel bearing it can not come 3 months ago I renewed the gear-side dust sleeve on this axle side because it was defective. Did the rear drive shaft joint get any damage from this time? I didn’t notice anything when changing the dust cuffs at that time. I’m really wheelless! Does anyone have any idea what that could be from the symptoms? For your answers thank you in advance.

  • Change Interior Filter V50

    Moin people, I wanted to put together a little guide here to change the interior filter. With all the stories you can read here on the subject, I can only say ridiculous and complete nonsense. I have taken the trouble and stopped the time, result: 16,34min. Complete… Tool: flashlight, 10 long nut, joint, 2 extensions and a 1/4″ ratchet. First the seat to the back and the foot mat out, then the plug from the accelerator pedal from time to time o You don’t need to remove the lining !! Unlock the 3 screws from the accelerator pedal and then use them either only with the nut or, as with me, just the fingers. I really don’t have any small hands and this works quite loosely. Padal out, fold the carpet, release the wing nut (is actually a wing screw) and fold the cover away. Pull out the filter in the bow with the brake pressed and that’s it. New filter in the bow again, cover in the front Stick the groove and fold back. Wing nut back on etc… The whole number is a real joke. Even the oil filter gets worse. Admittedly, the posture is not the most pleasant but the work itself…

  • 2.5 20 V goes while driving from BPR 103 is new

    Good morning to everyone, I already tried the search function to my question, but always only found something with BPR. Following facts, a week ago he simply went out during the ride without sign and did not let himself start for minutes (starter turned and he shrugged again and again briefly) after a while he started again as if nothing had been, just managed to get home “2 km” and he died again. Then I ordered the BPR 103 at Skandix the next a day arrived and which I also installed immediately. Previously “so 1 week in which he ran without problems” again the same but this time he immediately started the engine warning light with. Again several start attempts with which he also ran sometimes (irround speed Rhythmic 500-900-500 etc.) as long as one did not step on the gas. PS distributor cap, fingers, spark plugs, air mass meter as well as the BPR 103 are new. I hope you can do something with my data. Oh yes is a 95 OBD1 ausb left box A jack 2 makes apart from one after plugging in glimmering diode Nothing thanks already in advance and good start to the Monday.

  • Loud air

    Hi people. Since it’s cold again early I ask myself the question why the ventilation is only so lukewarm. Outside temperature -3 degrees , inside vlt. 10 degrees , motor to 90 degrees . The air conditioning automatic stands at 24 degrees , the blower on automatic . The ventilation should now really bring power , but it püstst so lukewarm that you don’t notice much . What is this?The interior filter is new . When I set to manually the blower puffs plentifully .

  • Compensatory tank/cover defective?… or even worse???

    Hello dear, again a new problem I hope that it is only the balancing tank. In the last 2 weeks I have observed that I have creeping coolant loss; then I checked again and again and saw that after the ride coolant was in the edge of the balancing tank and small puddles were visible on the ground. Yesterday I had to refill about 0.5 -1 liters Just arrived at home, I saw already when getting out drop in the carpor t. The balance tank was quite under pressure and the cooling liquid pressed out quite easily even after switched off the engine. However, I also saw that the container has apparently deformed, the lid after turning up and turning on is wrong… (see photos below ) and yes, I screwed it properly on again I have ordered a new container and a new lid at first. Will I be able to replace it as a layman??? f Your feedback,… Thank you! Greetings Ela

  • Help I am unsure about a purchase!!! Volvo V70 D4

    Hello together, we are a family with two children and soon a dog. At the moment we drive a VW Touran from Bj. 06 and the 1.6 liter motörchen! Now Papa has almost established himself and recommended to the family a V70 D4 Euro 6 automatic from 07/2014 with 90tKm and a summum equipment from the dealer first hand. In the equipment is everything I need e.g. pieper front/back, sliding roof, dynamic suspension control, ambient lighting, bi-xenon, cornering light, children’s sit ze, car. tailgate, cruise control, heatable windshield, leather, electric seat adjustment, downhill assistance … I could continue to do so until tomorrow. On a first test drive with a similar vehicle I was able to convince my wife (was at first very skeptical, quote: “Volvo? How, why Volvo and not Audi or BMW. But looks nice.” The children were upset! Now to my questions to experienced drivers of such a beautiful vehicle: How reliable is the vehicle? How reliable is the vehicle? What are the costs for inspections or repairs? How much is the consumption? What can you gain for other experiences? We are looking for a reliable and affordable, safe car! The car must hold and should not be susceptible to repairs. Family halt! I look forward to your contributions and will inform you about my purchase decision here!

    Hello municipality, I’ve been doing the following: for two days, nothing is going on with the on-call app. It displays unlocked, no matter if the vehicle is locked or unlocked, flashing, horning, starting heating is not possible at all. “Stand heating is started” rumbles for several minutes over the blue bar, then “could not be started in red”. Manually starting in the vehicle. Diagnosis of the app says: Everything works perfectly. Unfug, nothing works. Car has reception, mobile phone has network. someone has had the problem before and maybe even solved it? Help:-/
