  • Change gear oil – yes or no ??

    hello together, how does it look with the change of the transmission oil from ? should you do that or not ? if yes, from which running power ?? I ask, because I actually think it makes sense to renew also the oil of the transmission – (in my case a v70 II MJ 2006, switch, diesel, 120 ps) now anch 150,000 km times. with my previous questions at the dealer and also other workshops it was called “as long as the transmission does not lose oil or can be badly switched-no change!” I have no ineligible problems with the gearbox, but fresh oil can not hurt or prevents certainly higher wear ?! to stimulate, tips and also well-founded recommendations I would be grateful. alex

  • What’s wrong with Volvo XC 90 T6?

    have a Volvo XC 90 Bj 03 with 137,000 km. That was all broken: transmission, a turbocharger, turbo valves, exhaust, headlight washing system 2x, horn, key, sliding roof, boot blind, and now also the Navi is over. Quite a lot for such a “Billigauto”. All damages outside of the warranty and without culling solution to pay fully. arrivederci Volvo!…

  • Kaufberatung V70 III 2015-2016

    Now that I like to drive my V40 (2003) also with the help of the MotorTalk community for many years, a new moose is to come. The model of choice would be a V70 D3 or D4 – budget up to 18,000 euros, 15,000 euros would be optimal => Euro 6 as a precautionary measure – low maintenance costs (previously 1.9 D with 5 l average consumption) – repair costs minimal (previously about 300 euros per year incl. tires at 20,000 km/year) Automatic and diesel are set. e underground garage ramp is steep and certainly does not comply with the standard. The V40 likes to put on the towing hook and it needs not only good driving technology but also the hand brake insert. Therefore, I am interested in the embankment angle and the ground clearance of the V70. With the right numbers I would also be helped (street between tire center and bumper or spoiler lip and the indication of the distance between ground and spoil rib or bumper.) An alternative family combi would be the Octavia III (13,4° angle of slope, but also a long overhang ahead). – Sport package: does this always mean lowering the V70? Maybe I will be helped here, in the Volvo operating instructions and technical specifications I searched for in vain. Thank you very much for the last years!

  • Question about rear dampers at the 850er

    In principle, I had agreed that the tailgate doesn’t go very high. Only my wife constantly bumps her head into it, which leads to constant annoyance. At my buddy, who has the same car, I noticed yesterday that the tailgate rises at least 10 cm higher. I can easily stand under there. Are there various dampers? The current ones I had installed 7 years ago, I had you from FT-Albert.

  • Change brake discs and pads themselves

    Hello everyone, even if the topic “change brake discs themselves” is often viewed in an ambivalent way, since this is a safety aspect, it is one of these activities, which can be handled with craftsmanship, the right tool and best with appropriate instructions in word and image quite easily. I have already done this on the rear axle. Now I have to change brake discs and pads on the front axle. The Haynes is already there as a pdf, but I hope that there are a few specialists who have a workshop manual with the sector “brake disks” for my tank. This is a 850 2.5 10V automatic combi, year 06/1996. Thank you very much. I’m happy to be able to help you with this.

  • Air conditioning no longer cools properly despite refilling

    Hello together, I had my Volvo V50 2.0d from 2004 carried out an air conditioning maintenance because it felt not so cool anymore. According to the workshop the system had been filled with 605 grams. This was checked for leakproofness and filled with 530 grams according to the sticker. At the first run in the workshop the mechanic said I had to drive only a few kilometers until the circuit cooled properly. Last year the system Sau became cold directly. With a thermometer at k The workshop of today had nothing to measure about the temperature and I should report if it should not get better. Today I measured at home with an infrared thermometer. At low just 20 degrees out of the ventilation. In addition, I just noticed that the air-conditioning lines used to be ice cold and were covered with condensation water and now lukewarm and no condensation water. Does anyone have an idea what I can do there? I would love he should leave with the maintenance, since before the cooling performance was clearly better. Really annoying Thank you
