Hello together! Since we plan to make longer tours to Southern Europe with our Volvo in the near future, including the option to sleep in the car, or to leave something “invisible” in it, I wanted to look around which tints are so recommended. My idea is that I build more or less mirrored foils. I think black is stupid, because my Volvo is also black and then would look like a box van. Can you recommend something to me, which to a Would you place the foil tracks for the rear window divided into two lanes, or is the arching so minimal that you can make it into one? Remember that the Omega B was not doing so neatly. Thank you very much! Greetings

Hello, I intend to buy a 20-year-old 850er. Visually, despite its high age, the car makes a very good impression, but in the first view I noticed something alaming: slim on the oil spill stick! a safe sign for a problem with the head seal, but a familiar Volvo driver told me that this was normal with the model and not that after it looks, especially with vehicles with gas system. Info: The vehicle has been overdue since 01/2015 TÜV and not more moved, it also has a gas system. Question is that true, or should you rather keep your fingers off it?

Hy, almost 280tkm on the clock and all the original, now the turbo is already oiling something, and one thought, is not o bad, one can leave. But since now the oil is already visible at the throsselkl., I think it has to be out and to the service for the new construction/repair. Thought already to get another from the net in new (often cheaper), but I think that the original is overtaken (Fa. TurboTwins in Vienna) nevertheless better. Now the question: should I have the immediately “modify” something, or gle I change the hoses on silicone, and is it really true that the 193hp can tolerate another Popoff/Wastgate ? Who has quality silicone hoses ect. at “normal” prices ? A tuner for Volvo is yes in Germany I think? Thanks mfg (Just in advance, who can not with me, to Fred just stay away, thank you ;-))

Hello, last week my Volvo stopped at a traffic light. Suddenly the engine went off and did not start again. The called ADAC looked for the error but could not find anything. The only thing that could be told to me was that no ignition spark comes. He also checked all fuses, but they were fine. The ignition coil is new. The ADAC had the assumption that it was the crankshaft sensor. In the workshop it was then changed – but without E rfolg. My “screw” no longer has an idea after he has tried out a lot. I then drove to a “Sweden workshop” for error reading. No error is shown. Since the car also has a gas system, I am a specialist for gas systems and have described the problem to him. He says that it can not be the gas system, because the car always starts on petrol and when no ignition spark comes, it can not be on the gas system. Does anyone still have an idea or would really be grateful for any idea, because I would like to drive the Volvo for a few more years.
