  • V50: automatic window closing possible with door locking?

    Since it is finally getting warmer and you can drive again with open windows, it is already paasiert to me that I missed an open window when closing the car. Even with an older golf there was the possibility to close the sliding/kipp roof when closing it. Can an analog function for the windows with the V50 for example via software upgrades have to be retrofitted? fiete

  • V50 climate condenser change itself

    Hello, I have read many reports here on the topic of defective climate capacitors. Since my V50 has now also been caught, and I have no desire to transfer about 900 € to the Volvo workshop for repair I would like to change the capacitor myself. I can get the capacitor from Hella for almost 100 € and the filling of the system takes over a colleague of the privately run as a side trade a small workshop and has a climate maintenance device. For filling he wants 50 € and I want to have I think that I can get my climate back to work for a small amount of money. But can someone tell me how expensive this is to replace the capacitor? Think that the bumper has to be mounted off? Is that simple or difficult? Must after that perhaps even more be dismantled to get to it? Hope there is someone here in the forum that will fill me. can give me one or other useful tip, otherwise I dare then myself and then try the whole vllt. also for the next one who wants to do it himself to illustrate…. Greetings Rüdi

  • Roof rubber torn

    Hello, unfortunately, after many days of research I found no comparable case in various forums. Also my current Volvo dealer in Stuttgart could not report about this. Overnight I had a small crack in the outside roof seal on the front roof segment. Can happen – I thought. Since the seals are not available single at my model year (EZ02/2008), I would have to order the package from all three seals for the left side (400,- And in order to avoid deformations on the roof, all seals on the right side are to be exchanged in case of accident! Cost estimate according to Volvo: 2 x 400,- + wages, approx. 1200,- €. Since I already had side panes adjusted this year, new climate capacitor installed, four new summer tires as well as TÜV + large inspection had to be made, I am looking for a small solution. And since water does not penetrate into the interior, I was recommended by Volvo to seal the saddle. It’s about 25,- €. Now my question: Has anyone been able to gain experience, whether and how long does something like that last? Or has someone had the same case already. Is there a better price for these seals? At Scandix, unfortunately, I found ncihts. Greetings…

  • S60 MY14, one brake warmer than any other

    Hello municipality! During the last weeks I noticed a whistling/quitches/twishers after a few kilometers of driving. I could not assign it for a long time, only so about that it comes from the left was clear. Also, that it occurs all the more colder it is (about somewhere below zero) was to be determined repeatedly. At an appointment in the workshop everything was of course normal, on a test drive and on the stage nothing could be found. Only on the return journey it started again. Then it has been quiet for a few days. Later I drive some time into a parking garage, window down for the parking ticket and then I hear a loop from the rear left when driving slowly. After parking I once touched the windows. Back left warm to hot, so that you don’t want to warm up for more than a few seconds comfortably. All other brakes were cold. I watched this the next days – even if it (it was warmer again) did not squealish This one disc was always much warmer than the others. So I went back to the workshop (because I was loyal to my official dealer, where I bought it). Now a hanging of the brake was attested. As the probably soon seemed due (about 107.000km) I was recommended to exchange the discs and coverings. After that everything is free again, I inquired lay-like. Yes, after that it is good again, was confirmed to me. A week later, today, was on the rear axle As spare parts are noted on the invoice a brake block set, brake disc set and brake spray (for which one task a whole can for 4,50€?). With work 522,82 grosso – in Upper Austria. Now both brakes are warm at the rear. Well, that might have to drive in or so I think, but still it is warmer on the left than on the right. What do I do now? Keep watching? Immediately complain? According to my feeling, only the result of a symptom was fought, a The reason seems to exist. An ESP problem? If the exchange was actually not displayed I would have had less than 15,000km of rest. At no service was suggested to me that the brakes will come soon. How would you react? Thank you and lg Torsten

  • V70 III D5 Service intervals – what is mandatory?

    Moin together, I’m still new here but actually long Volvo driver, namely since now 19 years. Equally old is our first Volvo, a V70 I TDI. If he is still so good, he rolls soon over the 800k km. Volvo4Life I only confirm there! Now there should be Volvo offspring. There is now a new V70 III D5 MJ2013 R design in the family and, after a long search, with manual transmission. 122k he has been behind him. The good thing has always been to service with Volvo. Nevertheless, a mistake has been made. The service for 90,000km was done two times according to the calculations. Only at 90,000 – OK! Second at 120,000 – not OK? Therefore my question: Are only oils and filters and what is noticeable when looking through? What is the minimum – the common denominator? – because if necessary this “mistake” does not matter. By the way, my Volvo workshop thinks – the only difference is the interior filter and oil filter. Otherwise there would be nothing. Well, I have read in the meantime that For example, the rib belt + tensioner has to be changed at 90,000 (which has happened twice, by the way). What’s the matter? There can be no two opinions about the tasks at the respective intervals, if Volvo does certainly make specifications? LG

  • Volvo in Ford workshop

    Hello what do you think about it? At my V 50, the driver cylinder of the clutch no longer did its work. Was towed to my Volvowekstatt. But after 6 days the moose was not finished (mounteins on vacation and sick reports). Only the troubleshooting was done on the first day. Had a car from the assistance for 6 days. The workshop submitted an application for extension but was refused. I was then informed that the Volvo was to be given to partner operation (Ford We kstatt) with the reason the clutch is the same place of construction and they have time. On the 14 day the V 50 was finished and for the coronation I should then pay the rental car for 8 days, which I successfully refused. After in my eyes “””Superpower”””””” I said this Volvo workshop for ever Schüss.

  • Bumping up the old fuck

    So you dear friends… I would like to know where I can place underlay jacks on my car. It is to be completely jacked up. So with 4 underlay jacks. The car has on the sides, only in the middle, the jack recording. In the BA there is nothing…only about the AWD version, which of course has 4 points for the lift. Has anyone done this before? I drive a V70 year 1998 / model ́99 … Maybe has a picture of shooting points!?

  • V-belt torn motor damage

    I had reported the last time that a newly built-in V-belt was torn when a new air compressor was renewed and an engine damage occurred because the steel threads destroyed the timing belt. Now came the report that the car workshop has ingested a V-belt which can be used for all vehicles but NOT for Volvo! Has anyone experience if I have to have my car repaired in this workshop because it is legally regulated that the workshop the Rech This was my topic on 31.08.2016 Volvo xc 60 D5 AWD Summum First registration 2010 After my air conditioning has given up the spirit and I wanted to have the damage repaired in a free workshop, which specializes in Kliemaanlagen, I was told that the rib belt is torn, the climate compressor is blocked and needs to be renewed, we are renewing both V-belts and the climate compressor. Wonderful !!!!!! After a month The whole engine gave up the spirit while driving in the city. First I saw that the big NEW V-belt, which is connected to the alternator etc., was torn and had my best friend dragged into the workshop. Then it turned out that the steel wires which in the V-belt have loosened have wandered into the housing from the timing belt and have cut the timing belt. Now I stand there with a motor-total damage and do not know if the air conditioner man d I’m now in a VOLVO contract workshop and they can’t understand how the damage happened. Apparently, I’m sitting all over it now. I’ll go to a lawyer for advice tomorrow.

  • D4 engine becomes loud hydrostössel ?

    Hello Volvo fans, I’ve had my moose since Nov. 2013 and so far I’ve had 215000 km without a test. However, for some time now I have the impression that the engine (It’s about the D4 163 hp diesel) is racing. What do the experts say here? Can it be the hydro-stumps?Video XC 60 First of all, try an Aditiv. Who has experience?
