  • XC 90 catastrophic engine damage

    Hello, I would like to point out that I am still free with my XC 90 D5 switch (12/05), nevertheless I would like to share an experience with the community. Sunday after Ascension, My wife with 2 children on the A11 return trip Rügen-Berlin. After 4 hours of leisurely driving in a one-lane motorway construction site suddenly stuttering engine, funny noises, no more gas. There were no standing spreads, so stopped, got out, behind the car a huge oil track. Moto r no longer starts, gear shift “fixed” (OK, starting attempt could have been saved…) Result: full lock of the highway, 30mk traffic jam, my wife and the children arrive 3 hours later squeaky-fitted on an ADAC truck. Volvo-Assistance very friendly and competent, car is towed to the workshop on Sunday evening, car rental (BMW 318, could also have had a RAV4) by courier. Workshop: after 2 days “It is the vacuum pump, we order a new one”. Today: “I’m sorry, we just got the OK from Volvo, they’re getting a new engine!” Booahhh, after 20,000 km a new engine…. I’m going to drive the 3rd for a few more days, to be honest, I miss the fat guy already, compared to a “real” car.

  • Volvo V70 Oil Change – Which oil and even doable?

    Hello, I bought an old Volvo V70 two months ago and I am very pleased with it. He has 358,000 km on the clock and buzzes like a kitten. Would now like to perform an oil change. It is the classic 5 cylinder with (believe 144? PS). Just a good 10W40 or what would you fill? What to think of this oil for example?https://www.idealo.de/…/4500415?… The favorable price scares me off. If you can recommend a good oil, please don’t hesitate to contact me. chlagen And can you make the oil change incl. filter well yourself or is it bad? Many thanks and greetings Maurice

  • Radio temporarily suspends

    Gude together, my C70 has been running almost perfectly for a long time now and without any major problems. The only really disturbing shortcoming to her is the radio: sometimes it cracks. I honestly find it quite difficult to describe the problem, because I can’t see regularity. Sometimes when I start the car and/or turn on the radio (SC901) the radio works, but there is no sound. After 1-3 minutes it cracks inconceivably loud (at the first appearance I have s o terrified that I almost landed in the ditch) and then the radio works again perfectly. Also during the ride it occurs occasionally. But after a unique appearance it did not occur a second time in a ride. It is also no difference in quality in the music or other interferences. This problem occurs not only when driving on but also directly after the start in the stand. Both in cold and warm temperatures. Although I was already by jema In other words, it might be due to the heat that changes a bit on the radio, but the problem also occurs with cold car/radio. In google of the problem I encountered various forums, which claim it is the amplifier. However, these forums were limited to Peugot and BMW models. The same source, which with the tip with the warming radio said that the amplifier (4x100W) was not the problem because they were very robust. Makes a radio overhaul there sense or the purchase a new one or do I have the same problem again after a few months? Has anyone been able to solve a solution to the problem or even the same problem? Meanwhile I am really close to despair…. Thanks in advance for the help!

  • Polar Parts?

    Since I probably need some parts for a 850 soon, I noticed above mentioned company with quite favorable prices. Are the parts rather good or rather not? (I know – watch out with reputation damage! 😉

  • S60 Purchase, request for help/consultation

    Hi guys, since I have to change cars, I noticed the Volvo S60 a little bit. I always found some Volvos pretty chic and also from the engines they are very appealing. Now I don’t know Volov at all and would need a kind of crash course …. And indeed I found a Volov S60 T5 with good equipment here on the net for a good price (so I find)…http://suchen.mobile.de/…/showDetails.html?… Nuuuur, what does the Ger tax, type classes, consumption, maintenance costs (workshop & spare parts), ect ect Is the car reliable? What else would you advise me about engine ect…. I am used to 140 hp from 1.8 L in the Honda Civic… less should it not be Even if he has to go, the fun while driving MUST be preserved somehow. P.S. Greetings from Franken and already thanks for suggestions =)

  • Search Purchasers for V70 Accident Cars – Does anyone know anyone?

    Hello, my wife had an accident with our V70. Thank God for that – otherwise it might have turned out differently. Now I try to sell the car – which actually works very badly. Therefore, my question to you, whether you know a buyer, butcher, exporter or the like. I had an accident 3 years ago. The old V70 at that time had bought a dealer from the Czech Republic from the vicinity of Selb (Bayern), who mainly deals with Volvos. Extrem ko rrekter Type – but I don’t have any contact details anymore. It is a D5 summum from 2011 with nearly full equipment. The left side is completely gone. In my opinion are engine, gearbox, attachment parts engine, bonnet, body parts right, possibly rear flap, 2x xenon m. cornering light, leather equipment (I think the side airbag comes from the B-pillar – not from the seat, or?), Navi & Entertainment, instrument cluster, tinted disks etc. to be used at least. For a butcher a e Gold mine. Details would be available here – if any of you could use: https://suchen.mobile.de/vehicles/details.html?id=282355355 Actually, I’m talking about a contact with a Volvo batter. Thank you Karsten

  • Oil level after inspection

    Hello, After the inspection, the oil level is now two bars under MAX. Before that, it was always on MAX. I wonder if this is now normal or if too little oil has been filled. The moose is a D3 5th MJ2012. Is there perhaps a new requirement here that less should be filled? Greeting Martin

  • C30 – 2011 1.6D D2(114PS) Warning engine system maintenance required,

    hi leute! sind ner Woche ich den Volvo und he shows me 2 times this error message: he felt normal performance, my questions: a) I have read something of additive sharpening, but that has only the 109hp engine not the D2 or? b) he got an inspection (oil and filter change) at handover, he would have to get (he has 95,000km) another special (planned engine maintenance), so something like the additives or: c) it can be related to the DPF regeneration, I f ahre all 2 days 65 km autobahn hin and 65 km retour, mostly tempomat 115km/h, should I drive a little more / faster because of “freeburning”? thank you for your opinions (Volvo Hanedler 1 on the phone was somehow not so helpful, he could hardly think into the Theam, and read out error code brings there even nothing => will turn me to another still) thank you and a nice weekend to all

  • Regular timing belt change – expected costs?

    Hello municipality, my beloved C70 D3 (150 hp) is now 10 years old and according to the maintenance plan, the timing belt change is within the scope of “however” maintenance. Can someone give me a house number in Euro, which awaits me if I have this done at my Volvo contract workshop? I am just thinking about whether I can delay the change for another year, because I actually imagine that I have been careful with the engine. (no speed orgies, just relaxed weeks) dfahren – running performance at the moment 108 TKM ) On the other hand, I know that material fatigue is quite normal. I would rule out arguments like “reselling value” – the car is written off for me and I just keep driving it. I just wanted to hear your opinion whether the 10 years are rather overcautious, or whether you should give it to the car. Greetings, Cesevenzig
