  • But software update costs….

    I wanted to update my software this year with my friend in the sense that my V70 closes itself when driving out.On the question of what this would cost he meant only about 30 €. If the software would also accommodate other updates he answered only no!! that is only for closing. Is this right to take so much money for it??? Do you have experiences there? Greetings Sacha

  • S60 on snow ;-(

    Hello community, this morning I came for the first time in the “pleasure” of snow with my “new” car. Have been happy like a schnitzel all weeks and finally it should be this far today. However, my joy was relatively quickly very disillusioned. Is there anyone else here who has changed from V70 I to nn S60 behind me? I am disappointed, I really have to say. There are certain places where I used to snow much more at VERY This would have become almost a fiasco this morning. The car is in no way true to the track and always breaks out to the left and right (over the front axle). Therefore my question – was I just too spoiled or is it really only due to bad (Fulda something – were still from another V70 II over) winter tires? If you think it would only be the tires are lying, I buy myself in any case still new before the Alpen Rallye 😉 Greetings, Woife

  • How intelligent is an adaptive Geartronic?

    Hello Automatic friends, in how far “the Geartronic adapts to my driving style”? Actually, an Automatic can only be influenced (trained?) by the way I give gas or brake. And if I let the “Sunday driver” hang out the next day instead of cavalier start, what changes? Will the setting be saved? What happens when two different drivers/temperaments alternate? And how can the Automatic learn something if I take it off and z u with manual gear selector in between spark? Can someone explain the mode of operation to me a bit more precisely? You can never learn too much Thank you very much, Claus (once Automatic, always Automatic!)

  • Crossbar C70 II front switch – please ask for tips

    Hello everybody, during my 9-year inspection (knappe 90,000) ATU [*1] found out the following: Rubber bearings side handlebars on the front right. I would like to have them exchanged on both sides soon/but I would like to get the material myself. And I need a few tips/notes from you: – which manufacturer is to be recommended? – should the stabi struts (pendulum supports) be replaced the same way? That’s what I had picked up where – should something else getausc What costs can I expect with the material? – does someone in D’dorf or Neuss know a trusting workshop that installs the parts to me?Many thanks to PS: Ggf. someone recently changed the crossbars with the same model => Could I please have the OE/OEM number? [*1] please no comments to ATU I only have the service/tire change and nothing repaired. Grds. I am even really happy with them – maybe I am lucky with the branch, where since At least 6 years of the same workshop manager works. And only tell me/resolve defects that are not easy (I clarified that 6 years ago).

  • Whispering…

    Moin, I was surprised today at the motorway road station over a high whistle. I thought at first that this would come from another car in front of me. But it was mine. 🙁 After some unsuccessful search in the engine room I opened the oil filling nozzle and Schwupps was the noise away. Lid again on it, whistle noise back there. The lid can only be pulled out unruly. What do I have to do with it? Many greetings Thomas

  • V70 (Mj.05) Car radio from third-party manufacturers

    N’Evening together, after my little one has blessed the temporal (*click*) I bought a used middle ech… V70 D5 Mj.05. War it only tomorrow in a week… Of course there is now again a lot of music in the form of an iPod on board. Since I do not want to get angry with the shortcomings of the original Volvo iPod adapter (no direct title access, no display of title, performer, album or similar in the radio display), I would like to get the original radio (HU-650) by replace another radio, what do I need? In order to get a switching plus, I need a CAN-bus adapter from Dietz, for example, with suitable cable sets for radio and steering wheel remote control, right? Is this thing good for something else or just for the switching plus? Do I need anything else or is this all? What about the parking aid in the back? It only works in connection with the original radio, right? Not that I really need the retirement radar, but if this in the car s If it’s built-in, it should work… Can you reactivate it without HU-650? Have you read something from an AEM module…?!?! Has someone had experience with the conversion to other radios and can possibly tell it here…? Thank you very much! Didi should have chosen my Nick with more mind… Edit: The SuFu doesn’t have much to do with it, or I somehow don’t get along with it… If there were threads on the subject, I’m grateful for hints on the same thing. I didn’t find anything.

  • Climate goes on and off all the time…

    Hello dear community, I have a little problem! After I finally have my climate back on, I have to find out that it turns on and off all the time. That is, if I drive at 50km/h in the 3rd gear it jerks every few seconds and the climate relay switches! In order to rule out that it is the climate relay I have changed it already, without success! The system is definitely filled, because that turn on and off has already made it directly 5min after filling, v This is why it can’t be due to lack of gas. It cools perfectly, really ice cabinet in the stall!!! The jam air sensors are also changed and the compressor is a new used one, which should have fanned up until removal!! What could the problem be? Does anyone have an idea? The only thing that comes to my mind is that the distance of the magnetic coupling is a little too large, although it is purely optically super, but whether this is 0,6mm or something more can’t be said!! Thank you for your help!!

  • Rear seat belt roller clamps

    Yes moin, and the next little but annoying problem: The belt roll is somehow stuck in the rear seat behind the driver’s seat in the 850. The belt cannot be pulled out. Smart as I am, I thought that it was because of this plastic nipple in the belt that the belt doesn’t go far enough to release the belt roll again. So I made the seat half forward, the plastic gap where the belt comes in slightly widened and let the belt further in. s that the belt is still stuck – in half-folded sitting condition – and the seat no longer goes up because the belt is tensioning. So now I have 4-seater… which wouldn’t be so bad if two child seats didn’t fit side by side in the back, which means that the EBH has to sit in the middle of the seat and I am looked at badly at every look in the rear mirror. In addition, the children knock on every ride about who can sit in front. Uncomfortable situation, not at all Volvo-like… How do I get to the belt roller mechanism? Is the plastic cover on the seat back riveted at the top of the edge? My pins don’t fit in… Greetz, TschoK

  • Start problems warm engine C70 2.4 t –

    Hello, because this is my first post. Short to me: Volvo Fan since childhood (244 DL Automatik), only for a short time for five years Saab 9-3 Cabrio, therefore the name. After I have used the SuFu several times in vain, I need your advice. My C70 2.4 T 193 PS Automatik Cabrio Bj. 2000 often starts very hard. If the engine is cold, the starting difficulties are rarer, if the engine is warm, 5-6 times must be “arranged”, or sometimes maintained. My wife, who keeps the car busy. The third (free workshop in Drakenburg specializing in Volvo) says it would be the crankshaft sensor. Spark plugs are new. Was also in the inspection. In the forum I also read about throttle valves, oil pumps and camshaft sensors. I am at a loss.

  • [XC60 D5] Help! Car suddenly no longer pulls, but turns up willingly. No message in BC

    Greetings! On the way from work to home, the fat guy didn’t pull any more when speeding up today. The engine turns quite normally, the automatic also switches inconspicuously. It’s just as if someone “holds” it. Mei Kickdown turns it up to over 4000, it hardly happens anything, but it runs quite tough up to the 100 (faster I didn’t try it anymore). There is no warning message. After parking, make out and wait a few minutes he was again unobtrusive, for about a kilometer. , then the same thing. In emergency run he shouldn’t turn up so high, right? What can you do? I wanted to go to work tomorrow with the car. Let it be better? Thank you for your help!
