  • Fuel filter change 2.0D

    Hello, today I had my fuel filter changed (V50 2.0D/62000km) (at a Bosch workshop, is closer than the next Volvo dealer). I didn’t think anything bad about it, is a simple work for the mechanics! So far no problem, until I saw that in the enclosure of the filter more precisely on the ground lay every quantity of metal chips! That’s not normal, where do they come from? The mechanics also at a loss, so first of all call the manufacturer of the overpressure pump s agt, is not normal. Volvo customer hotline says, that is normal! There is a newsletter for the dealers. Has one of you ever heard of this or seen with the chips? I am easily nervous, the possible consequential damages by such chips become really expensive!! Then the mechanic still needed about 1 hour to vent, the car wanted and did not want to jump any more aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was there from 8am to 10.30am- God for a n stupid fuel filter change!!!!!! Ohso am still after Volvo. The mechanic/master says this is normal – I don’t know!!!! Good ride and does not change the K filter!!!

  • Radio antenna(s) and amplifier(s): Where are they?

    Dear community, after the radio reception in my V70 year 2003 became worse and worse, I wanted to make myself smart here in the forum about the above topic, but still a bit confused due to partly opposite statements. It is certain: – my V70 has an antenna in the rear left side disc – also there is a green antenna amplifier with an antenna and a power connection in the back right under the side cover in the hold. What I don’t know: – Has my V70 also in the rear bumper an antenna? (I suppose, yes.) – If he has 2 antennas, does he have 2 amplifiers, so another one for the antenna in the side window? – Should 2 antenna cables be connected to the radio with 2 existing antennas? I remember that there is only one connection there. I thank you already in advance for your answers! Greetings Marcus

  • 850 TDI – Turbo causes problems

    For two weeks, my turbo has been having problems. At speeds above 3500 rpm, the charging pressure drops to be completely at 0 from 4000 rpm. Under 3500 rpm, everything is normal. What I noticed, the max. charging pressure at lower speeds is only 0.8 to 0.9 bar. In the past, the display was always up to 1.3 bar. I had to do this from a week of error 115 in the MSA, which probably indicates an error or problems in the charging pressure sensor. ochler, who only showed up 1x. In normal driving mode this behavior is not noticeable at all, only with strong acceleration or with kick-down one notices the pressure drop at some point. Greeting Holger

  • Cooler change 850 Kombi IMPORTANT!!!

    Hi there, I’m just about to change the defective cooler at my wife’s 850s. Unfortunately, I’m hanging at the moment and I can’t get any further. So far, I’ve got the Venti out and everything. Now it’s up to the cooler fixing screws to the left and right. I’ve both been able to solve them a bit, but now this round nut spins with me from above. Do I have to release the screws completely or can I get the cooler out now? Is weird, since I have the same problem on both sides. Oh yes, is the normal 2.5 with 140 hp without climate and four wheel. Please help me, I still have to deal with it today. EDIT: I try it from above. With the new cooler I see that the hole through which the screw goes is very large. Can it be that the loosened screws fit thereby and I can remove the cooler downwards? Thank you very much. Thomas

  • RTI wants to piss me off

    Hello everybody, this in advance: I like the RTI very much. Although completely overpriced, but compared to other manufacturers Volvo stuffs the bags not quite so cheeky….. On the topic: I’m just thinking about the “intelligence” of the RTI. I let myself be piloted to a friend the other day. Was basically also fine, but I had the impression that it would have to be significantly shorter. So, next time I’m at about 15 minutes and about 14km of rest driving time/way from the highway. The RTI had hardly recognized my deviation, it suggested the route via the federal road. The message spread with one blow to about 10 minutes at about 10km distance. (It also seems plausible, since I have saved a laaaange distance through an endless residential area.) What about everything in the world causes my RTI to propose me a km-by-km AND time-long longer distance, and then when I catch it while mogging, the innocent mi Men??? Greeting xc90er …who might be looking for a clarificational conversation with his RTI.

  • And another XC90

    Hello, that’s it now. Our new family member I just put on a proof photo, because it’s really only a very simple standard XC90 Executive D5. The trip to Holland (Rutten) was one of the first actions: – Activate heater: 96EUR – Activate residual heat usage: 74EUR – Disarm seat belts: 26EUR – Tank cover lock immediately: 0EUR (Oh yes, no coffee, but went for it quickly.) Then the journey to home…. gorgeous. Music on (Klavierko) nzert von Tchaikovsky and organ music von Bach), Tempomat an and then only cruisen. It was nice, the rediscovery of coziness. I can provide some more detailed photos, but in the wet weather, it’s really not fun. Oh yes, I actually insured with Volvo (a.k.a. Basler Securitas, Bad Homburg). The offer was overall consistent and the contribution was fine with good performances. Until soon! xc90er

  • Underpressure in the engine? Blubbert

    Hello together, short story: I picked up a Volvo 850, 170 HP / 20V with automatic Bj 1993 about a week ago. At the pickup I already noticed that he has quite little power but the thing worked on the whole. At home actually didn’t go much anymore, followed by a large white cloud from the exhaust he died. I let him cool down and he runs now again, but very unround. What I noticed now is that under the engine light drips n formation is, where exactly – I don’t see that. Furthermore, if I unscrew the oil filler lid then this opening sucks really strong. So it feels like there’s some kind of vacuum in the system. It also runs round when you take down the oleine filler lid it runs “different”. What can be the cause here?

  • V70 2.4 D 163 PS

    Hello municipality, after 850 GLT 170 hp and V70 II 140 hp I have now again chosen a V70 II 2007 Edition Sport with the 2.4D engine 163 hp with all the bullying and sports suspension / level regulation. Is there actually anything to expose to the engine or can it possibly even better than the D5, have of course already used the search function and what is special about the servotronics ?? Thanks to All !

  • ABS with overreaction 🙂

    Hello, I drive a Volvo S80 Bj. 99 with 170 hp. Recently I have the following problem. With a braking of any speed I’m driving, my pedal starts to stutter like with an ABS braking. No ice smoothing or rain the road was dry and I braked with very minimal pressure. At a later braking when the error re-entered, I pressed the brake pedal with all power and see there, as well as no braking effect and the brake pedal b Audrey had an extreme backpressure and now no longer had an mm braking distance. A pumping of the brake pedal also did not have any effect. Shortly afterwards it braked again quite normally. The error appears again and again without an error message and without that a warning lamp concerns. In an emergency braking I would not be able to stop the vehicle (if the error occurs ) right time. It is currently in the garage and if one can give me advice I would be very grateful.
