  • C30 injection nozzle defective after 9700km, no culant!

    Dear people, it’s to cry!! I stayed on the AB last week, engine stuttered, no more gas, just saved me from the left on the side stripes, the ADAC then towed me over the Volvo Assistance. The Volvo dealer attested a broken injection nozzle, 890.- Tacken, no culant, because the car is 3 years and 4 months old. Neither the workshop to which he was towed, nor their sister workshop where I bought it, were also only to a pro zent ready to trade with you! I’m totally appalled about how to be treated as a customer at Volvo!! Unfortunately I didn’t get further through the hotline in Cologne, I hung in the waiting loop in 3 days about 6 hours!! I have already filled out the form provided there, only none of Volvo’s messages By the way, it’s the third time that I stayed on the AB, once wg soot particle filter and once wg no one knew… the car is I was always waiting for Volvo, the last one was 8 weeks ago…. So I picked up the car again today, paid and that was it. That was my first new car, my first (and last!) Volvo. I sell it as soon as possible again! (You are welcome to ask!). I can’t do anything for driving only a little by car… I was told that I should drive more, then a part of it wouldn’t break either, isn’t it outrageous?? I’ve already driven many car brands , Mercedes, Alfa, Lancia, BMW, but that’s never happened to me before. Have you had similar experiences? Can I do anything afterwards? I’m soooo stinking mad

  • Volvo S40 – lowering (Eibach 25mm) and painted brake calipers

    Hello together, recently finally let my S40 lay deeper and the day before yesterday painted the brake calipers. To lower down I can say that it was definitely worth it!!! Used 25mm Eibach springs, which have meanwhile set themselves on 30mm. From the driving feeling it is nice tight, but definitely still super comfortable. Visual looks now much better, fits great to the car and the rims! Not too deep, not too high, exactly my taste Have also directly I used the Foliatec set in black, because the saddles were covered with rust. Now looks nice clean and very discreet again, just as I wanted it to be. Since I had previously “holed” some people with questions about lowering, I wanted to say thank you in this way for the fact that they had to be able to get the best possible results. with a few more pictures! MfG, Nico

  • Self-made oil change

    Hello, today with my T5 I made the oil service myself for the first time. Since the car is now 5 years old and has 106tkm on the clock and will be in my possession until the rust/accident or whatever we have separated I decided to make standard things (this is what I now count to make the oil change myself). And this of course will be a much cheaper course than with the friendly one. Here my list: 1) various filters (all MANN filter – so no cheap deck) oil filter r: 9,32 Euro Interior filter: 16,85 Euro Air filter: 16,88 Euro Aluring: 0,14 Euro Total: 51,40 Euro Then 5,8 liters of oil (Meguin Megol High Condition 5W40 with MB 229.5) at the price of 4,97 Euro incl. shipping. Thus oil costs: 28,83 Euro. Makes total material costs: 80,23 Euro. Timel. Use of my side: approx. 2h – while I have done a lot more besides – I have had my car bleeding out for quite a long time – really delusional how long there is still oil dripping out…. I am z ufrieden – but will make the next oil change already after 6 months. Real madness if you compare the new oil with the old used one. The “old” is a black broth – the new nice light and slightly brownish… Pope

  • Question to the C70 drivers

    Hello together, I’ve been interested in this great convertible for a long time and have now also been able to convince my OHL, will now make me look for it. It’s supposed to be a T5, Bj 2012 or 13. I drive so about 6-10000 km a year, on what I have to pay special attention to when buying and which accessories should not be missing at all Best Thanks in advance Greeting Volker

  • What is it worth? V70 Diesel or V70 with LPG ??

    Hello, what’s more economical? To buy a V70 2.4T with 200 hp for 9500 and to upgrade to LPG for 2400 euros or to buy a V70 Diesel with 163 hp for 10,000?? Hold good three years with driving performances of 16,000 km per year. Mainly rural road. PS The LPG system would not have paid off after 3 years, because when reselling you will also get good 500 euros more than without LPG system! LPG price with us 55.9 cents, diesel at 104.9. Thanks for Your intel!

  • XC90 also in MY2010 without new engine

    Info from my information available from VCG about MY10: the XC90 is only offered as a 7-seater (with simultaneous price increase), otherwise only optical retouching (apparently a few more metal applications).The “new” D5 engine is not mentioned… Greetings Frank

  • Photos of my new acquisition V70 II …

    Sodele…because the demand for visual appeals is greater than the offer I once photographed my new used V70 II with the ape-sharp 2.5T engine. I also have a 3rd bench in the back which I often use. The children all prefer to drive against the direction of travel. Is not anything special but…now…yes…: Black (I actually didn’t want a black car – but looks really good), has 55000KM on the hump, HU-650, etc. Since I had the 170hp 2.4 Sau before I now had the feeling to have a rocket under my butt. Yesterday I steamed after Essen… but could only speed up to 210. But that was pleasantly fast. However, according to the on-board computer, I used 16 liters in urban traffic. However, this is either due to my new driving or the car just didn’t drive free because only city might be before. I will observe this. Should the car in the city with soft driving more than 13.5 liters bra I have to see if you might be a bit misguided. But I haven’t dealt with this topic yet. On the weekend we go to Bayreuth – after that the engine should be free.

  • xenon height controller

    I turned on my xenon light and then the light was all down. I turned off the xenon and then it was back on again. Later the same thing. But then I turned off the main light again and then the xenon light was back on normal height. What can that be? Drive a S 80 Premium A bj. 2004 Caputt is there less I think. Gruss jimmy
