  • Volvo 850 T5 loses engine oil and has ABS error

    Hello dear community, I am unfortunately really at a loss with my Volvo lately and a self-search unfortunately does not really get me further. I have the 850 now for about 3 months and unfortunately do not really get to drive the car properly. There are permanently problems and defects. Some I can understand, others (and my workshop) bring me to despair. The following problems are involved. ABS/TRACS errors occur sporadically. These are the following error codes: 411, 412, 413, 414, 421, 422, 423, 444, 211, 213. Since the error occurred only a few days ago at minus degrees, I assume that this is also the general ABS error with the cold soldering points? I myself have never soldered and think it is more useful to send the ABS control unit directly in? And now to the second bigger problem. The 850 loses engine oil and indeed fresh and not very little. I start from 1L to 1000km. After the journey/during the journey the car loses more oil (i.e. Liqui Moly 10W60 inside). The following repairs were already completed by my workshop (a total of almost 800 euros), but without any improvement. – Oil pressure switch – Both oil cooler hoses in and out (these were really expensive. Almost 3 hours since these had to be removed. So tight and broken were those. But apparently you didn’t drip. Besides, the previous owner made the oil trap and I believe also the valve ckeldichtung (but not in a workshop). What else could be responsible for the oil loss? I thank you for every thought or tip!

  • Suddenly bad noise from 60 km/h in the 850 2.0 T5-Italo

    Hej all together, I need advice… 20 motorway ride, this morning… permanent, slightly “sleep/striking”? Noise, acoustically located from the direction of the central ventilation grid in the cockpit and coming up from below. Otherwise everything normal, gas acceptance, gear change (normal operation/not sport) inconspicuous, brakes too. Highway ride, this afternoon, still the same noise… 2 kilometers with 180 km/h, further with 130 km/h, then speed up again and at 155 km/h it beats the front i Somehow metallic, I would say and then continue, rhythmically and clearly loud. At the subsequent braking, it rubs on the front axle and it smells, slightly but nevertheless well perceptible, like hot brake discs/covers. The noise, becomes slower and quieter at decreasing speed. At 60 km/h arrived on the stand strip, it is gone. The vehicle can be switched normally, in all modes. On the stage, an extensive visual inspection shows nothing, the steering parts are Mechatronix and his helper Schrauberix say, according to hearing, there is gas on the stage and switched on…: a transmission damage. Can this be and after hearing be determined safely? And what kind of automatic transmission is installed in the T5 2.0 with the TSN 738? Have invested a lot in the moose in the last 3 years and would like to, if “necessary”…, look for a good, used transmission and then have it installed. Greetings, Volkersson

  • Sporadic power loss Volvo S70 T5

    Good evening Volvo municipality For some time I have been observing the following: – Sudden strong power loss during kickdown. Like a switch during acceleration suddenly no more steam. – Motor always runs clean and starts clean. – Once the power loss has occurred it remains over the whole speed band and disappears only with a restart. – It never lights up an engine control light. – General power loss here and there. At the moment there are problems with the reading, you only get to the “gas-relevant side” which has no errors. Further diagnosis is started and all vacuum hoses are changed, which are all very weak due to the age. I would be very happy about your input. Maybe this is a case for e Oldschool Volvo mechanic/connoisseur. Greetings from Switzerland Stefan

  • Frozen slices the 10th

    It takes about 5 minutes in case of rain until the windshield and all other windows are fogged. I have now checked everything. Water is not in the interior, the floor is dry for both the driver and the passenger side. Heat exchanger is also dense. The processes of the sliding roof are free, also the processes in the engine compartment below the windshield. The pollen filter is dry, there no water comes in. In case of rain it takes The only thing that immediately helps is the climate at 12 o’clock. After 20 seconds everything is free. Climate is out again, slices are closed again after a few minutes. What I notice, the air from the nozzles feels relatively damp. So I would suspect the evaporator. It was renewed a few years ago, so it shouldn’t have been spoiled. There are also procedures there. How can you check them? Where do they come out below?

  • Battery seems to be drawn empty

    Good evening in the round, I’m slowly turning something around. I built in a new battery, because the old one was apparently really broken and did not charge either with charger or after longer rides. Lima is fine, test-proof battery of my Brude jammed and it loads… Yesterday I packed in a new battery and measured it: 12.63 volts (approx. 18.00). Today against 12.30, 12.52 volts. Just measured again, 12.47 volts….I saw that it had been jammed now. ch Safety No. 15 (?) well for interior lighting etc. Current flows, despite standstill (so everything is off, completed, about an hour waited)… How can I narrow down the whole thing further? Result of all other fuses in the box = 0 mV. There is still the other fuse box in the engine compartment. Should I also measure here? And is there anywhere else to find a fuse box? V70 I, 1999, petrol, no special extras Thank you!

  • C70 Antenna confusion

    Hello guys, my C70 has an antenna. Unfortunately it is not motorized. I have now looked in Vida and came to the conclusion that there were only motorized antennas – is that so far right? So that would mean that the previous owner changed them sometime. I would like to have another motor antenna- since I usually don’t pay attention to pulling them out and pushing them back in – which will probably lead to the abbroc This is because the car is often parked overnight in well-frequented residential areas – the one or other randomizer is already on the road and an outstanding antenna invites you to cancel. But now I ask myself how the antenna is controlled. I know from other vehicles that the antenna is driven out via the antenna feed (which also provides the amplifier from the radio or is switched on) (e.g. this was already with our W124 before 20). However, in Vida there is the schematic representation of the motor antenna with an extra switch!? My C70 doesn’t have such a switch at all. Can someone maybe tell me how it should be before I invest money to buy a motor antenna, then find out that I can’t install it at all? Thank you!

  • Locking/closing cylinder rear door defective

    Hello all, I had about half a year ago the problem that the door lock of the left rear door was defective. Reason was a (small, white) broken plastic lever. In the workshop the complete locking cylinder was changed for ~300 €. Today I had to find that now the right rear door also no longer closes. The central locking closes the three remaining doors (visible at the “button” of the doors), only at this door moves the “button” The deadlock also clacks after a short time. If you put the key a bit away (so that the keyless does not address) and pulls on the door handle of the said door, the door starts up and the alarm system. Same behavior as then on the left side. In order not to give Hinz and Kunz access to the car, I now (as before) have to manually press the “button” and then first the central locking. And that every time, because: The central locking is necessary. Is it a common problem for me to open the door again? 🙁 Now my question to the community: Is this a common problem? Is there perhaps a cheaper hack to replace than the complete lock cylinder? Thank you and greeting – MedanoCC

  • Polestar XC60 D4 AWD MY 2016

    Hi, had already asked my dealer a Polestar tuning some time ago. Answer: only until MY 2015. On the website dito. Does anyone have an idea when the tuning could be available for MY 2016 ? I drive my cars idR 3 years, if that still lasts 1-2 years, it makes little sense…

  • Costs for brake change ok ?

    Hello together, when changing from winter to summer tyres, the friendly found that the brake discs and pads have to be replaced once, because they should have reached the wear limit (after now 50,000km). The workshop master meant to drive up to 1000km with the brakes !!! Vehicle: Volvo S60 II D5 Aut. MY2011 The following questions arise: – After reading the operating instructions I came to the conclusion that Volvo apparently did not have an electric wear limit. i offers its vehicles (not even a warning light) ! How does it fit to be a leader in safety to the self-image ? – The all-round change should cost around the 1000,- Euro. That seems to me a little high, however I do not know the prices at Volvo. Is this to be considered normal ? Thank you for the answers.

  • C70 2.0 d Bj 2008 sometimes high resting current up battery empty

    Has anyone had such a problem before? (Please read to the end..) Typically in winter with snowfall on Monday morning after the weekend was 2 days break, the battery is completely empty, i.e. at about 6 volts, it does not even react to the unlocking. So it was last year 2, 3, times – for the Volvo dealer this was a clear thing, a new battery must have been. So I was on the road last year. Now the battery is exactly one year old and hardly was 4 weeks ago. n the first snow, I had the problem again. So I installed a measuring resistance (10 milli-Ohm) between the battery pole and terminal, so that I can disconnect the battery without interruption after turning off the vehicle and then measure the current. Of course, the terminal is again properly installed before the next trip! What do I measure now after the parking of the vehicle? I would say nothing abnormal! It takes a couple of minutes until the power consumption rings off properly, But it does it finally up to near 0. With the coarse measuring devices I can assume a noise well below 10 mA, but no more. The battery voltage is also OK, so at 12,8 V permanent. But then! I have the sporadic case that someone pulls a horrendous current! Just like now, Sunday afternoon, snowfall: The battery still has 6 V and I measure 550 mA! As I said, Friday evening was still less than 10 mA, a forgotten lamp is eliminated. Since I last year when the first appearance had already this behavior, I commissioned the Volvo dealer to carry out a corresponding troubleshooting. Of course without finding out (but I paid them already) – The battery was declared defective!
