  • Steering has game and loses oil

    My XC 70 (2001), which has 90’000 km on it must get a new steering. Cost point approx. 1600 EURO (incl. work). The steering has game and loses oil. I noticed it, because it always rattered funny at the roundabout at the front left. I then found that in the balance tank was too little servo oil. By filling up at least the noise could be fixed. Must replace the steering as a whole w By the way, I have replaced different bushings (crossbars before). For example, when driving in a garage, it cracks. Has anyone had an experience? I’m actually very disappointed with the quality. I think that this should not happen with such a mileage performance.

  • HU-603 against HU-650 comparison

    Hello, I’ve installed the 603 in my V70 /2002er, I find the sound really bad because just the bass is missing. Probably I’m rather envious of my brother-in-law because his V70 /2007er a much hornier sound comes out as more bass pressure. We both have the normal sound equipment, so no Bose/Dynaudio or special systems integrated! I searched for the subwoofer and found nothing (back in the trunk bunker under the carpet, was at least nothing) I wonder now if is it really on the radio, whether the preamp is better or are the speakers just better?

  • ASSISTANCE!

    Hello forum–hello Volvo driver!! I have a few problems with my tyres and my track (I think). In September I got my V 70 D 5 from 2004. At that time the good still 143000km had on the hump, now 2013 and 6 months later have arrived at 155670km. I regret not a kilometer, but now have problems with my tyres (front): – To buy in September 2012 4x new Goodyear Allwetter (NEW). – These are front in the interior areas bl anko!! – Admittedly: I also like to let the 163 horses out of the stable (from + on) – 4 months I probably have been traveling with too little air pressure: 2.1 BAR front + back. Much too little, says the master: 2,6 – 2,8 BAR would be more realistic. Heavy vehicle.. Last Friday the V70 was on stage: couplers OK, shock absorber OK, wheel bearing OK, suspension OK.. – What was not ok, says the master, were 2 sockets (black/plastic), each left/right they probably for a straight run, And make sure to drive without “cracking”. Because I also hear this, in the case of floor waves, bumpstones + field paths = KNACKEN VORNE!! Tjaaa…: good wheel expensive Conclusion: according to the car master (free workshop) the track is to be adjusted, possibly to correct the rear axle, and to change the bushings. Good! But what it is to conclude is a little daring, at least for me.. Do you have a tip what it might be? Thank you for your interest… Greetings mad

  • Buy V70?

    Hi together So far I drive Mercedes. But the current models are – to say the least – in need of getting used to, and older Mercedes (old C-Class) that I would like to roast pretty much. How is that with the Volvo V70? From the shape I would like it. What about the fuel consumption? How reliable are they (even climate, automatic)? I don’t have to ask a seller, because they always praise their goods…

  • Volvo V70 D5 185 HP AUTOMATICs ruptures when switching…

    Hello, for some time now I find that the gears of my V70 D5 EZ 2007 automatic partly quite hard jerking in. Butter soft is really far away. No matter if warm or cold. It cracks quite strong. 173,000 km it has down! Does the software update or similar need? Would be really grateful for an info. PS: Have also 6 months used car warranty. (????!!!) 🙂

  • New design and brake back!

    Hej, I’m a hobby Mercedes screwdriver and could so far successfully prevent someone from the family from buying a Volvo, which is not easy here in Sweden! Now my nephew came by yesterday to present his new car! A V60 from 2011 with 2 liter diesel engine 163 hp and automatic 230,000km run converted approx. 6000 Euro Very nice car! At the visit I fell on the both rims behind were unusually warm / hot! Since the coverings have only approx.2mm covering, I offered him to switch to the pads and take a look at it! I already looked at 2 videos because of the electric hand brake. One with 12 volts on the actuator drive the piston back and one disassemble the motor and turn it back by hand! That would be no problem. I would do this: 1. Pick up the rear on both sides and check wheels for free access 2. Use the hand brake and check wheels if they block 3. Remove the wheel 4. Remove the brake caliper 5. Control the engine 6. Press the piston with the reset tool all the way back 7. Possible pistons by braking and driving out again to check smoothly 8. Repeat points 5 and 6 9. Remove pads, disassemble and clean saddle holders. Floating pins fat 10. Reassemble saddle holders and insert mounting plates 11. Attach ceramic paste to installation points and install pads 12. Mount caliper 13. By pedalling the brake pedal Insert piston 14. Wheel on freeg Check fear 15. Handbrake 3x press and release 16th wheel for block check for bein Handbrake 17th wheel for freewheel check for handbrake Is this OK? Do you do it differently? Thanks for tips!

  • Service A Show

    Moin, I’ve been driving with the service display for some time, there were noises to hear during the acceleration of the engine that remind of the ringing of the petrol engine only faster, somehow a crackling. After the resetting the noise was gone, everything was back to normal. Can the display have influence on the engine control unit?

  • Radio change despite steering wheel remote control, Navi, telephone and parking aid ????

    Hello, I drive a Volvo S60 year 2006 and would like to expand or improve the existing audio system (HU-650). The included radio is simply not enough. No mp3, AUX, etc the following problem: The car has steering wheel remote control, car phone, and nav and parking aid… I think this is all about the double DIN radio and when changing of course I don’t want to lose any of the functions… the phone, this is not really necessary but by no means the Navi, parking aid e or the steering wheel remote control (was everything already in the car, i.e. from Volvo). Is it possible to exchange the radio with another (think about a double DIN with touchscreen) and enjoy the usual comfort? Are adapters (CAN) necessary or is it even possible? How is a conversion like this?

  • Experience with MEYLE HD (premium spare parts) ???

    Hello self-screw and OEM crossdriver, I have been dealing with two questions since the last tyre change: 1. Is it right that the starting points for the on-board truck lifter are located relatively far to the center of the vehicle???? The described markings on the side skirt are somehow not to be found on my vehicle, however, the small notches on the fold were very familiar to me by other manufacturers and thus I set up courageously, but not without the gapma So far he is still running straight ahead and does not rain. 2. When checking the usual suspects (during wheel change) the coupling/stabistans in the frame seemed to me to be quite sparse (mass) of my beloved Volvo ́s. therefore I first went to the SEARCH before I asked you the following company after your experience, as a retrofitter with “improved formula of action” has pushed itself into my consciousnesshttp:/ /www.meyle.com/DE/Replacement parts/MEYLE-HD.html and now you are asked. Has someone current experience with these “HD” parts of MEYLE and above all the low extra price is acceptable at a possibly nevertheless significantly extended change interval. Maybe there are even -mechanists on a German island, who out of conviction already leave the path of the Orgiinal spare parts ? maybe? at least love you all times already thanks greeting Willvo PS: or 3. what brings your on the e Libra???, my 2.5T, automatic 1666 kg curb weight
