  • Volvo C70 Original suspension depth T5

    Hello, I have not found anything, maybe you can help me. I would like to install a new chassis in my T5. My T5 has already installed the sports suspension from the factory, if I select the springs 30/30, it comes “logically” even deeper than it is now, right?` Or is the original suspension deeper? Thank you in advance

  • V70 2.4T too slow?

    Hello! I’ve been a Volvo driver since June and actually quite satisfied. Have a V70 2.4T automatic from 2000, so one of the first. I’ve tried to drive the boy on free motorways a few times, but it just doesn’t work. I read here in the forum that other people with the same engine/gear combination get 240 and more on the speedometer. I can’t do that at all, from 200 it gets tougher and at 220 (or if you look closely maybe 222) i No matter whether alone or three in the car, tank full or (almost) empty, climate on or off. When I got the car, I changed oil, candles, air filters – so it can or should not be. Can someone tell me if I just got a lower power limit engine during the scattering, or if I should do a troubleshooting? Is also not particularly loud – therefore I would damage the exhaust system (which in the case of the Turbo is the Min It’s from MM, but doesn’t know if it’s already changed. Maybe someone can reassure me that everything is OK. Or someone has a mistake idea, I’m grateful for everything. Greeting Matze

  • S 80 2001, 187000 buy?

    Hey people I’m looking for a comfortable travel limousine and there have now discovered the S80. I’ve always been driving with the car from my mum and now I need my own car now because she needs her car again.So wanted to spend 7 kilos and there is such a vehicle even bit below it.My question now revolves around this offer:S80 2.9 Bj 2001, 187,000 km, Navi Leder ..is private sale and the guy said that he was no longer fa due to health conditions 1. Do you think that I can still make the 250,000 without major repairs with the car? 2. How far do the things usually go? 3. What did you have to repair (comparable vehicle, prices of repertures) so far? 4. What do I have to pay attention to when buying such a car? 5. Control/insurance?! 6. Why is Volvo so cheap in contrast to Audi/BMW/Mercedes?! I mean, these are great cars or are the lifespan not so high or have the certain flaws or s ind Repairs / spare parts so expensive or the maintenance? I just don’t want to get a car where I have to go to the workshop all the time because it is broken or because it costs me too much in maintenance (maintenance is not cheap, that’s clear). An overlay would be very helpful! Please tell me your opinions! I thank you for your answers! Bill ps.: if the link is not fktt., then just let me know and I will write in further information!

  • do I get the new ?!?

    Hello, have seen today that my top bar for the windshield replaces them. And that there rust forms either the bar or the roof rusts but I think that’s the bar. Can you somehow get that right again or must the new? With regards P.s wish you a nice day

  • Coupling encoder cylinders expand at the 850er

    Now I have tried to unscrew it out. However, this is provided on one side with a relatively long bolt. Therefore it is necessary to push the cylinder back to the engine compartment. This is not possible, since it is at the lower part of the brake power amplifier. That is, it is only necessary because of this long bolt the Brmskrft amplifier with ABS hydraulics etc. lo This can’t be true, what Volvo is allowed to do. Has anyone ever done this before? Or is there another trick? In addition, there are two versions of cylinders. The old version with threaded connection for the hydraulic line and a new one in which the hydraulic line is plugged and secured with a clip somehow. How to get the clip in the engine compartment under the brake hydraulics in the built-in condition, the dear G ott. The part is simply round and no clip stands out. It is to despair. Someone knows this problem mfG

  • Question V50 T5 AWD and automatic

    I bought the V50 recently. In the test drive, mostly city and a bit clogged highway, it seemed a bit strange to me, but did not worry me. Now in everyday life, on the free track, it is very noticeable. Problem. The car pulls very strongly when starting very short but then falls off strongly and accelerates only hesitantly. It is very lame and consumes a lot of gasoline. Under 12 liters hardly anything. For comparison, the XC70 of my buddy, also with automatic, like hell. The walk to the workshop is still pending. But are these “problems” somehow known? I have the throttle valve pot or the electr. accelerator in suspicion. Greetings

  • Pedal box

    Hello together! I’ve been driving a V50 D5 with the 5Gang Geartronic (2008) since April. Actually, the problem is also the problem, because I’m already bothered by the delayed gas intake. Is somehow not harmonious in some situations. So here too with tuning dealt with and quickly came to the conclusion: Not necessarily recommended! 🙂 Remember that with my 2WD, when I step on it, the front drive is already in great trouble. The 4WD has definitely easy to get the engine power on the road! In the bay a pedal box S3 bought and connected. GEIL! 🙂 What should I say, fits perfectly to D5 + 5Gang Geartronic! In ECO mode finally runs to match the engine power! Perfect! (driving a lot in the urban area) Have also tried Sport+ and there he makes at the smallest touch of the accelerator: Wild Sau! Drives in all stages like a completely different car with clearly more performance. Conclusion: Is a real recommendation for this special car! Greetings Frank

  • Addinol for Volvo V50 2.0D?

    With my V50 2.0D Bj 2006 (135,000Km) there is an oil change again. Unfortunately I totally forgot which oil I had bought the last time. I only know that it was one of Addinol. I tried the oil finder on the Addinol homepage now which proposes the following oils: ADDINOL SAE 5W-30 Premium 0530 C1 = 27€ ADDINOL SAE 5W-30 Mega Power MV 0538 C2 = 31€ ADDINOL SAE 5W-30 Premium 0530 FD= 29€ This is recommended here in the forum: Addinol Super Power MV 0537 FD 5W 30 = 35€ The prices are from my online search for 6l each, but do not play a big role the differences are rather small. Which of them should I take? The upper 3 have all ne Ford or PSA release the lower only one of BMW and VW. Earlier on my Golf 3 only the viscosity had to be right, since even the cheapest DIY oil was enough…today that is almost ne science looking forward to your tips.

  • Suddenly very high diesel consumption Volvo v50 2.0d

    Hello together, I’ve had a super high consumption for a week now. When starting up, there is a current consumption of over 50 l on the display. When rolling (i.e. 4-6 gear) and 50 kmh there is a consumption of 20 l on the display. I thought it was due to the regeneration of the DPF but that can’t take place all the time now for almost a week, right? I’ve been driving with my already over 100,000 km and the problem now. I’ve always driven the car with an average of 6.3 l in summer and 6.6 l in winter. Now the consumption is on average 8.9 l. Something’s wrong, isn’t it? Do you have a tip for me before I have to go back to the workshop?
