  • 18″ PEGASUS rim on V70R

    Hello people Since recently I am proud owner of a laser-blue Volvo V70 R Jg, 99. Unfortunately the original rims are no longer available and now I have the following problem: When buying the vehicle, the seller gave me the 18′ PEGASUS rims. Now I have a problem for the MFK/TÜV in Switzerland. According to type approval, there has never been the V70R with 18′ rims. However, since I have to check the vehicle next, I think that I do not have the 18′ rims registered Has any of you had experience with this topic especially with the Swiss Volvo drivers???? I wouldn’t like it if I had to give away the PEGASUS rims… Therefore I need your help or tip. I would like to thank you for the many messages from you PS: I have saved you a photo of my baby’s

  • Presentation and directly the MKL problem

    Dear Volvo community, my V70 has reliably taken me everywhere in the last 8 years and 120,000 km. He still does that in principle if the problem with the constantly shining MKL wasn’t. But briefly to me: I am Jürgen, working as a photographer and for a few years because of love at home in Berlin. Just screw small things yourself and let everything else be done in a free workshop that specializes in Volvo. To the V70: Model year 2000 170 HP B5244S Autom at AW55-50/51SN 299,000 km The car is in good shape and is regularly maintained. All TÜV tests have passed without defects. To the problem: MKL starts while driving, but engine runs completely normal. Sometimes it takes a few seconds longer until it starts. Error code according to Vida IMM-321 (initialization signal missing from engine control unit signal) Fixed/changed was: – Antenna ring ignition lock – petrol pump relays – camshaft sensor – Solenoid camshaft adjustment – cams wave adjustment itself – motor control unit at ECU I have not been at my main workshop for very long, so that it is not responsible for the part width. They have turned the box upside down, but are also perplexed. You think for sure, let the lamp light up, car is driving. Because of my orders I am travelling all over Germany, there is always a bad feeling. Would be stupid if I were to stay at the other end of the republic. Have me through some MKL threads du rchgemillet but a solution for my problem unfortunately not found. Sorry, that was a lot of text to get started. Maybe someone has an idea to bring the electrolurch down. Thank you and many greetings, Jürgen

  • “hard” switching processes Automatic

    Moin together, I am the new one, although already a few days older and with some experience in relation to other brands, mainly BMW E32, E34, E38 and E39. We now have the Volvo 850 T5 station wagon, with which my wife has loved so long. A 95, from 2nd hand, with fresh TÜV and well-proven 235,000 kilometers, optically maintained, technically also. Otherwise we drive a 1995 BMW 750i and a Jaguar S-Type from 2003. And in both feel the shift previews In both saloons the gear changes are almost imperceptible, despite high running speeds (270 and 250K). And also the A6 Avant from 2007 with 310K on the clock, switches gently like butter. Previously only two 850ers with manual gearbox tested, with the 170 HP machine. I therefore lacked any comparison to the automatic transmission completely. The seller told me – yes, it is clear that he wants to sell me what – the switching processes in the T5 are always fast and smoother than in the Swedes tank. d also noticeable, he would have had more than half a dozen… Never change a running system, is my motto… In this respect, is it possible everything okay…. The gearbox generally does what it is supposed to do. Or is there something about which would be premature to look at? Am I spoiled and therefore too sensitive? Hope for factually sound feedback in the hope not to get rid of an endless discussion without a clear conclusion, which I also get from the BMW and the cat on the topic of transmission-oil/change/spülun g know 😉 Greeting and thanks in advance, Volkersson

  • Decision-making aid Comfort seats or sports seats

    Hello together, next week I will order my first moose and need a decision support for the choice of the right seats: I swung between the comfort seats (fabric), comfort seats (leather) or sports seats (partial leather). What would you recommend me with my size (193 cm), my weight (85 Kg) and at 35,000 Km/anno? My driving style is normal and not particularly sporty, I prefer to get in/out and sit comfortably. It pain in the lumbar and neck area. What are the differences between the different seats (side support, padding, hardness, sitting position, seat, adjustment options, on/off, summer/winter, support in the lumbar area, care, ….)? Thank you very much for your support Dieter

  • Volvo XC90 Summum BJ 2005, many questions 🙂

    Hello! I have a few questions and hope that one of you can help me. 1. I have a button in the center console to deactivate my security lock (see appendix), but nothing happens if I press it, it doesn’t light anything either I’m not sure if I have an alarm system at all. How can I find out? Normally, when I lock a little blink at the front of the console, right? Does everyone from the house have this button? 2. When I open my driver’s door, it’s funny, I’ve tried to grease the connecting piece between the door and the A-pillar, but I think I get the snoring from the inside of the door, the part where the connecting piece goes in. Does anyone have an idea how to get that away? In addition, the door door door also creaks, also only on the driver’s side, what can you do about it? 3. My door handles hook pretty much, I think I also have to grease them somehow, must I remove the door panel to get there and if, how does it work without breaking something? 4. Ashtray compartment/dose holder in the center console: This opens on pressure, is it normal that this one snaps up or should the lid “soft” open? Many thanks already to everyone!!!! I hope you can help me!

  • Gearbox rattle V70 d5

    Hello to everyone, I have the following problem with my Volvo V70 D5, 120 Kw, 180TKm, stop gear M56, Bj,2003, in cold condition one hears klappern from the transmission area. In warm condition the noises are gone. Car drives quite normal, while driving one hears nothing, even no vibrations or similar. If one taps fast on the accelerator pedal in cold condition and only slightly increases threshold, then the noises come. I have to say that I have changed the transmission oil (Castrol Syntrans Multivehicle 75W-90). It seems to me that the sounds have occurred after oil changes have occurred! I also changed the engine oil at the same time (Castrol EDGE 0W40). Before that I had 5W30 Castrol EDGE in it. Something is wrong, either it is related to the oil or to any bearings!???? What do you think, has someone had the same experience? Ask for your help!! Thank you in advance

  • Troubleshooting with success for spare parts -Orgy

    Hello everyone, I was looking for a sounding sound while starting and driving, which then also became noticeable during the idle. First I had checked the exhaust of my AWD in suspicion suspension and noticed the rubbers are huge. So all holding rubbers renewed. No improvement Then systematically wheel hub with wheel bearing renewed. VA crossbars and coupling rods renewed, drive shaft replaced right + upper engine bearing. Nothing it was worse and worse (mufflers in front with bearings and HA were already renewed). Then during a phone call for partial order with FT Albert entertained and he gave the tip I should look at the engine bearings a hot tip because see photo the right engine bearing below the timing belt that was then! See photo I then decided for an original Volvo bearing € 138, the previous held 220 000 km there I expect from the new bearing the same and if I already b the bearing on the gearbox is immediately re-engineered.
