  • Lowering the exterior mirror in reverse?

    Hello everybody, did any of you order the lowering of the exterior mirrors on reverse? Mine had said that the XC60 would have this, if one ordered electrically foldable exterior mirrors. Unfortunately, if I drive backwards, then the exterior mirror does not lower. If I had it, then the exterior mirrors would have to sink automatically when driving backwards, or do I have to press any buttons or adjust something beforehand??? Thank you Best regards domi

  • S80 T6 – capital gear damage!

    87000 km he had on it my Volvo S80 T6 Bj 1998 when I picked him up on Monday from the dealer good in shot, no rust, no bumps, and just good to drive. On Thursday I wanted to do a nice extended weekend with a few friends and when I had to stay there on the descent, white a snake had formed it all at once was rien ne va plus – nothing works anymore. Grade still “N” and “P” I could put in the other autmoatic positions “R” and d “D” and the Geartronic switch lane he still switched, but the engine only stirred the oil in the converter until it sank. Does anyone know how Volvo behaves on this matter? I mean, 87000 km, what is that!? A transmission should be the last thing that breaks on a car, and not before you have to change the brake discs for the first time! Someone experiences if a gear specialist can do what and if something like that is permanent? I can of course also simply m the dealer suggested, but I want to dare, otherwise I wouldn’t have bought it!

  • V70 I feathers back too soft or simply old / which would you recommend me ?

    Moin moin, My rear feathers are extremely soft. When I pack 20 – 30 kilos into the trunk it hangs extremely low and is also quite deep in the back. What I could imagine the Volvo once had Nivomats and the previous owner changed them (there are new Sachs dampers installed ) but the old feathers remained in it. Or the spring is just weak and has to be new. Can you give me a recommendation for good feathers that are not quite so soft? In the front I would like to have the car a little deeper / there is a solution with lowering springs like H&R or similar, does that also bring something ? I would be grateful about advice. With kind regards Dennis.

  • Problem Window Lifter

    Good evening to everyone, my beautiful C70 is just keeping me busy. After I was allowed to invest 170€ in various repairs & TÜV now annoys me the window lifter driver’s door (is a right-hand handlebar). When I press the corresponding switch the disc goes down normally, whereby it crashes pretty much in the last part. When closing starts the problems. The engine tries to push the disc up but does not manage. I sprayed the seal with silicone spry – but it did If you push the window lifter switch down and then up you can pull the disc with your hand a piece up. To close the window completely I have to repeat the latter several times. In which direction should I look from your experience? Switch broken? Or the mechanism of the FH itself? There are repair sets – I was advised not to buy the whole unit? Newly there is no more… Did someone of the FH not really help. Such a mechanism for the right front door that can be delivered to you? Thank you in advance for your answers. Ramón

  • V70 2.4 AWD Opinion on the offer?

    Moin! Now that I need something bigger for family and job than my Scirocco and I have always liked the V70, I looked around and came across it. I am very inexperienced in the used car purchase and accordingly careful. https://m.mobile.de/…/414736482.html?… Apparently check booklet maintained, 2 previous owners and still little running, which makes me stubborn. Could not look at it yet. Is there opinions about the engine and AWD regarding durability. MJ is one of the last and should be relatively mature? Unfortunately no Xenon, I would miss that. Thanks already in advance for answers! Lg!

  • V60 bj 2010 Questions about the annual assistance maintenance service

    Good morning I’m new here, although I have been passively reading in the forum for years. Thank you for the many useful information My elk has now ridden almost 260’000 km, continues to run impeccable and I am very satisfied with the car. In the whole years I actually only had costs for the annual service intervals, timing belts according to specification and wear parts. In addition, a new climate compressor had to come here and the rear longitudinal handlebars are now due. I have another concern, which is why I signed up for the forum because I could not find any information about it. By the end of 24, I had all the repairs carried out in my Volvo workshop. On site I have a free workshop where a former Volvo mechanic also works. There I now had the brakes made. I would also have the longitudinal handlebars renewed there. In April, the Volvo service will be available again and I would like to hear more information about it. he assistance. Does someone know what to do to get the assistance, or what can I do in a free workshop? (e.g., Tüv, oil change, air and pollen filters are also possible?)

  • Can the oil trap freeze and what are the blue chunks in the balance tank?

    Hi, everybody! To my question: I drove to work this morning at five with my moose, outside minus 10 degrees. He jumped a bit shivering, but then ran quite fast round. On the factory site on the way to the parking lot I noticed the oil smell, so hood open and at the look below I saw directly the oil pool around the filling lid. Before I went home I checked the oil, stood on three quarters, so hardly any loss. This let me settle down with the thickness slowly to drive home. Z Once I arrived home, I pulled out the measuring rod with the engine running, it rises grey fog, unscrewed the oil cover, the oil sabbling. So oil trap too, right? I hope it didn’t blow out the sealing rings. Yes, shame (again) over me…it’s still the first oil trap…I wanted to make it now in spring, current mileage 318,000km. Oil change is 6000km, with filter of course. I drive a lot of short distance and have water mud in the mot time and again. or, especially in winter. At the moment it is extremely in the measuring rod tube, everything is pushed up. I don’t drive with the moose until I have not repaired it. Can you confirm the oil trap to me after my description or does anyone else have any other ideas? I don’t really believe in the head seal… The cooling water looks clean, but on the wall of the balance tank hang firm blue-green chunks. I renewed the container two years ago, so you can see it well. The cooling water is not the youngest anymore. I have no idea where the chunks come from. Greetings Markus

  • After almost a thousand kilometers-The list…

    What struck me after 1000 kilometers: -Polters back right. -Blinker automatically goes one side not in zero position at all, other side only sometimes. -Servo oil after tipped. -Wipe all changed. -Climate cleaned. -Div. control lights changed. -From 150kmh it gets a bit louder. -Seat heating on the left always rises out. -Central locking does not shut the tailgate. And last but not least, in the passenger area of the front window cold air flows. The higher the speed , all the more intense the airflow. Of course with the associated noise level. So I hope it’s just a jamming flap…… All in all, for a car that has 437000km on the clock and is 20 years old…..

  • TIP: OBD2 MiniBluetooth Interface for our Volvos!

    servus… yesterday my OBD2-Bluetooth-Scanner arrived to read the data and the error memory of my volvo. this here:http://www.ebay.de/itm/16105950819?… for small money a really cool part…I had already bought one before, which I would not recommend, because he had not even recognized my volvo. THIS interface even reads out the VEHICLE NUMMER automatically and recognizes that it is in a volvo S80, 2.5T. also the data are very reliable via TORQUE I just came back from a test drive. I find it impressive that you get even announced, IF the engine has reached ESTABLISHING STEMPERATURE! also the voltage of the LIMA, the PS at the mature, cool water temperature, INNER AREA TEMPERATURE, catalyser temperature, Cylinder Misfire Count, and felt 100 sensor values more, are read out during the ride and can be recorded via TORQUE. also error codes can be read out and deleted if necessary. the connection and the recognition works smoothly. the included CD with additional software you don’t really need. who is looking for something to check your car and get to know it better, is with this interface quite well served, I think. for the price of 11,50€ an acceptable compromise and certainly not wrong! I have put this article in here, because you do not fall here for the price-performance ratio sometimes, if you connect it. until now I am everyone if enthusiastic! and that, even though the product comes from HESSEN!
