  • Beating sounds from left in right curves – Domlager defective?

    Yes, it is again a “noise-out-of-wheelhouse” fred. Sorry for that, but with the search I did not find Fred who describes my problem. Problem: In mostly slow right curves (90-degree curve in 30-zones e.g.) it clacks very strongly from the left front. It sounds as if something was loose and a screw had at least 1 cm of play. Heavyest noises! In left curves similar sounds come from rehts front, but not so violent. 1. Solution approach: Coupling rods and track rod heads completely renewed. Also axle cuffs outside renewed (drive shaft completely out had and joints controlled – everything ok). No improvement. Everything seems to be fixed and intact in the visible area of the wheelhouse. However, these noises will only come up in curves. If I drive straight out, there is nothing to beat even with large ground waves. Could it be the cathedral bearings after all? Shouldn’t defective cathedral bearings be noticed somehow even with straight-forward journeys Make it cash?

  • Cracked the screw of the timing belt tensioner – Question of guilt?

    Dear Forum, so far I have read along with you. 2016 was the purchase of a used car. I didn’t want to have to rap it much and needed a reliable car. My grandparents have always driven Volvo, my first one I inherited from them. so a V60 with 110 000 km, BJ 2011, automatic, D3, check-book submitted by Volvo contractors. Purchased from a free Volvo dealer who took over from a Volvo dealership. 2015 was in the latter V-belt and spanner a uf Kulanz. In 2016 he got another V-belt and a handover inspection with transmission oil change. 2017 then for the first inspection at the Volvo contract partner on site with me. Above all interior filters were made, moreover the sockets were on the back soon, otherwise everything good, nice ride, 500 and something € incl. oil change and Naviupdate. 229 km later he stops on an autbahn exit, engine goes out, no more jumps. No warning lights, nothing. There it was said the next day: Timing belts through, we have to evaluate the damage, open the engine costs 500 €, then we look further (either repair for 4900 € or engine replacement for 9400 €). After a bit of research and telephony I ask for the V-belt: half of it is. They don’t want to tell me what is the cause of the whole thing. Slowly I get angry. 10 000 € Repair but one is not ready to make a guess about the cause??? Ver towing the car to a free workshop: they open the timing belt cuff and find an intact timing belt. However, the tensioning roller lies in the cuff. Screw broken. After 125 000 km. Screw through. So there are two scenarios: 1. The screw is crap. A two Euro part does 10 000 € damage. 2. The dissolving V-belt has somehow destroyed the screw. But why does a V-belt dissolve 229 km after the inspection? Is not guaranteed here, Why am I going there? The Volvo partner says: maybe a stone. Only the car is closed at the bottom, there are no stones in the area! Now I am looking for: 1. The cause. 2. The culprit (who takes care of the repair costs). 3. A solution. Do you have ideas/experience values?

  • Attach trailer coupling & connect E-set HELP

    Moin together, I would like to upgrade an AHK (Westfalia, removable) to my V70. I trust that the coupling can be installed without any problems, but when connecting the E-Sat I still have “disquiet” – I would take a vehicle-specific AC. Does anyone of you know if these are only plugs for plugging (so also for an electrics layman no problem), or has to connect loose cables to existing cables. Is there a “SUPPORT page! ? Would I be happy if here one of you can give information. Would like to save the 300,- for the cultivation…;-) Thank you and greeting Fossi

  • Volvo V70 R

    Moin, I play with the thought of getting a Volvo V70 R, but I’m not really in the topic, only by reading in forums like here for example. That it is a lover car and therefore with costs is quite conscious to me, however I have no idea about the price. I could read that the 2.3 with front drive and hand shift are very popular and so I found the following car. I found this offer at mobile.de:https:/ /m.mobile.de/…/details.html?… Volvo V70 R First registration: 07/1997 Kilometer: 314.752 km Fuel: petrol Price: 6.700 € Would be nice if someone could tell me something about it. Best regards and thank you very much!

  • Floor mats?

    Hello, Since my driver mat looks kind of rough, I look for new ones. Unfortunately, so it seems, there are always complete sets with mats at the back. Apart from many mats from third-party manufacturers I find hardly anything in the net (admittedly, I have not yet made it to the dealer …) The current mats – oh yes, it is a V70 Bj 2008) are already quite thin. In my former V70 the parts were always nice thick and pulled up at the edge. Son thin stuff wi i didn’t know that in the current car. Therefore, the question whether someone has a tip – a neat mat – as far as possible only the front … Thanks and a nice weekend Frank

  • V70 – D5 vs. D4?

Should I accept the offer? Thank you for your help Andreas

  • Problems / defect heatable windshield

    Moin, I hope you can help me. Our elk is in Lower Saxony and always under a carport, so that an icy windshield has absolute rarity value. Today it was at least a little frozen with the elk, so that my wife wanted to try the front window heating this morning, but then scratched again, because nothing happened. Tonight I wanted to try if you can at least “feel” the disc heating, outside temperature Ca minus 2.5 degrees. In urban traffic, I always felt the disc temperature by hand at the traffic lights, inside and outside. At other electric consumers only the driver’s seat heating ran. Inside I had the feeling that it became minimally warm, but I could also be wrong, because I had only set the ventilation to 0 after about 2 minutes. From the outside there was no difference to feel the side windows. Besides, I noticed that the disc heating turned off after 3-4 minutes independently (have s After what I have read here about the de-icing effect one should also feel the heating power or? Automatic switching off is also in the operating instructions, but this should take place at the earliest after 10 minutes or? Do you have an idea where the error lies? “Does” the disc, if there is no ice and does not work? If it does not work, it would be in the error memory and can be read out, or can one d I hope you have an idea.
