  • XC90 MY2014 – Difference to MY2011?

    At the end of the next week – the new Dicke Edition Pro will be delivered. Overall, this is my 3rd XC90 after a pre-FL from EZ 2006 and the current (Edition EZ 03/11). “Experience” as I am, I ordered the new one more or less only by phone, without having made me smart about changes in the series (“Make me an offer for an equipment like the old one” and hope now that you can help me here. What has happened to the XC90 since d changes in MY2011? As far as I’ve seen it, is now TFL series (in or instead of NL??) and the rim design slightly different. Is there anything else (even small things?) Greeting Frank

  • Threaded suspension at V70 1

    Hy, so now again a Fredaufwarmer. Old Fred: http://www.motor-talk.de/…/sport suspension-bei-v70-1999-t5271749.html I listened a little bit and experienced the Weitec is actually the cheap version of KW. Unfortunately I found a lot of Weitec, but none for the V70 1. Do you have tips where I can get a Weitec for the V70 1, or who has a KW 2 ode 3 lying around? With me it is now safe, the original SportNivo suspension comes out, it is just too tight, better says my 2 broken intervertebral discs….. Although 2 or 3 years ago I re-entered all 4 dampers (original Sachs incl. nivomates), but I need something softer especially since in recent times there is no capacity to install channel lids. I will miss the nivomates very much, because this was already awesome, but a Nivo sports suspension with adjustment will not exist, at least I have found none. Only feathers, but that is not half & nothing whole. I have to do it this year. I still have slight thoughts about such a 350.- coilover suspension, but hmm if I get a Weitec or a very cheap KW, I will rather hit there. Does anyone have a Weitec of you inside ? lg PS. all who want to get rid of a negative attitude or just mental effusion, please keep away from Fred, I will do it with your deal as well,

  • Brake pads/dishes from Barum/Polar Parts ok?

    Hello Since the parking brake of my V70, Bj98, 2.5l, 144Ps pulls unevenly at the rear, and comes only literally on the last stop, I play with the thoughts of the rear axle fresh coverings, baking, disc brakes+mounting kits and possibly new brake ropes to buy. When searching for spare parts I hit the brand Barum, so far I only knew the brand of tires. Supposedly Barum is a second brand of ATE. Who has experience with barum brakes on our mooses ? Who has experience with the brake parts of PolarParts? Were now two cheap brands that are not immediately torn in the air on the Internet…. Does not want to build up the last dung, but ATE and Brembo have already “air down” from the price. Will also give brands the corner are cheaper but can be built without hesitation…. Where and which manufacturers are recommended with the brake ropes? For example, have read that the brake ropes of Skandix are not exactly fit. russ C4-veteran

  • Daytime running light LED / R87 module / installation

    Hello! I recently bought an LED TFL in the bay, and I have some questions about the installation, and hope you can help me there. Auto: XC90 / BJ 2005 / Xenon TFL: The offer includes the following: And here it starts: The R87 module has three cables, mass (black), duration plus (red) and once for connection to the dipped light (blue). Where can I pick up the current-conducting cable to the dipped light in the XC90 cheaply? And if I hit it with a power thief, Do I then have error messages in the display for incorrect voltage (as if a light bulb was broken)? Where can I find a permanent increase somewhere in the engine compartment? Has anyone ever retrofitted such a TFL? I like to take all kinds of information, thank you very much!

  • Vibrations

    Hello, I have noticed in the last few days that when driving at speeds between 60 and approx. 130 km/h vibrations on the steering wheel and also “under the rear” can be felt. I also have the feeling that the steering wheel “will give in” when starting and braking, even slightly cracks when braking. The tyres can’t actually be, they are new and balanced. Maybe the Stabis? Can I mount them myself? Expect high costs? Who can give me advice? Thank you and greetings Kjell
