  • C70 II / Charging aid and other small thinking mistakes

    hello friends, I’ve been having a C70 D5 summum for a few weeks now and I’ve noticed a few small things where the designers probably had a small memory error or I’m just too stupid to implement it – let’s start with the “bottom lights” in the outside mirrors, I find they’re too weak for one thing to illuminate something and on the other hand they only light up the upper part of the door so not to the floor – the electrically adjustable driver’s seat has a good and a “bad” side the good: the storage of the seat position and mirror settings, for up to 3 drivers, since I do not drive the car alone, you save yourself the constant adjustment of your beloved positions. the “bad”: if someone wants to get in the back you have to press the button on top and the seat moves forward at the snail’s pace and the same back again…… so who wants to get in the rain back or has the honor a If you can press the button, you should wear a umbrella or a waterproof jacket, since it is allowed to stand in the rain – but the best idea, which has unfortunately not been thought to end, is the loading aid….. I think it’s great to press the button and that the roof now rises in the trunk around about 30 cm, but why have the constructors here on listened further to think, that the safety cover in the trunk can be lifted 1-2 cm and then she also comes to the roof in the rear part of the trunk and so I don’t get to the things that are under the cover, or I don’t get anything under the cover……. or do I just do something wrong, for suggestions I am always to have – where we are in the trunk, I have a real spare wheel in it, which is in a “bag” (you know it from the wind bulkhead), but the wheel looks out over the edge of the hollow, which in turn means that you don’t have a straight floor in the trunk has. According to mine there is also no plastic cover that compensates for this and therefore polders and purrs the boxes water and beer cheerfully through the opposite…… if you don’t just like “elkmann” 6 boxes of water and 2 boxes of wheat put into the trunk ……. and he has no resereverad Note: I have NOT ordered the spare wheel extra, it was already in there my C70 is a “used” otherwise I am very satisfied with the car

  • 2nd International C70 II Volvo Meeting on 13/14.09.2008 in the Siegerland

    Hello dear C70II fan community, to make the thing a little more manageable (since we had reported about it in 2 other forums in the meantime) a new Tread to the next meeting on [date updated by boisbleu] 13/14.09.2008 in 57271 Hilchenbach – Allenbach. This is located in the southern NRW, in the “Trilandereck” Nordrhein-Westfalen / Rheinlandpfalz / Hessen. Great area with lots of landscape, great curves and lies at 350 to almost 800 meters height. We already have some registrations, the I’m going to take a look and tap it down in the next time, but I don’t think that Brigitte / Ticinella will answer the most burning questions of yours in the meantime. We don’t open this thread in the Volvo meeting thread to keep things somewhat manageable (just want to get the cleanest C70II Volvo ride in the future). rides and drivers , but are otherwise not snobbed ) Best regards Uwe

  • C30 R AWD is coming!

    According to the rumors, Volvo has confirmed to the narrow motor magazine “Autocar” that a C30R with four wheel and over 300 hp is produced. It is definitely not the R-design model. Although the source seems a bit dizzy to me. Photo shows naturally the C30 R-design. And that Volvo borrows the engine from Ford, is naturally bull, since every Volvisti knows that this is the T5-Volvo engine, which Ford has pulled off from the S40/V50. The R-Design package in the program (which even equipped the good Thickling XC90 with 4 exhaust tubes) just no real R-model in production, is more than ridiculous. Volvo has proved wonderful with the introduction of the T5-R in the nineties, where in Sweden hangs the hammer. I hope one rests with the introduction of the T5-R in the nineties, where in Sweden hangs the hammer. The new S60 (so far as Audi, BMW and Mercedes are concerned) is a powerful engine with little fuel consumption. A D5-R! Let’s just hope that the new S60 (so-called S60) will not go any further on the laurels – especially with the currently unconvincing engine range (such as the oldest model in the range, the S60, in which the D5 version makes it faster and more economical than the entire new product range… ). rn there will be one) will be a great product; if possible, then please again as real R. Sorry (done from the topic), just my 2 cents. Source:www.leftlanenews.com/volvo-c30r.html

  • Turbo without function or low function

    Hello Volvo friends, I recently bought a Volvo V40 2.0T (165hp). The first days worked the acceleration problemlessly. In a few days the turbo stopped operating. I was already short in the workshop. Here the LMM always indicated the same value during a test drive. The technician might suspect the LMM. But unfortunately he didn’t have more time. I bought and installed a new LMM now (unfortunately not the right one afterwards). But there was one et what better acceleration and the engine sounded a bit (hard to describe) higher. With the old LMM it sounds a bit deeper. But a real turbo insert didn’t come. I have ordered the 100% correct one again (from VDO). I suspect that the error comes from somewhere else. I once tried to visually determine something. If you look down behind the LMM towards Turbo, it looks pretty oily. I took a photo once. What do you think? I am happy about every hi If

  • Volvo V40 2.0T Built 99:Question on consumption

    So far all the prima, super comfortable, good workmanship and a great design at a good price! Only the only catch would be the consumption with which I slowly start to doubt whether that must be so… As I said, I drive the car now since December and have initially pushed the consumption of ~13l (almost pure city traffic) to the winter and thus a little longer warm running phases. Now I drive every morning well 15km (Bund) it road) to my place of work and lie at ~11l with massively defensive driving mode (hundred at the line) and switch still before 2500tours. Even with slight acceleration (really carefully gas-giving) the consumption indicator rises quickly by the 20l or more!The tailpipe on the exhaust is also quickly lost although it almost does not require any oil, which could possibly be a sign of too fat mixture. Someone already had similar problem, or is all this normal and must also go to I am grateful for every tip! MfG VitaminG P.S.:Air filter is new

  • Brake conversion V40 Tdi Bj.97 ?!

    Hello Volvo friends! I’ve been driving a V 40 D, 1.9/66 KW plus chip with now 252 Tkm on the clock for a little over a year, which I’ve been driving a little over 50 Tkm since I bought. All in all, it’s a problem-free vehicle with moderate consumption of around 6-6.3 liters. Small things like the broken sockets of the circuit and the glow plugs, as well as oil change/gear oil change/gear belt etc. I have renewed at 200Tkm. Now that’s important for me. Unct, soft and spongy, pushing too far through, very fast fading behavior, bad braking effect, especially after multiple braking briefly in a row. Since the brake discs and pads have to be changed in front and back, I would like to replace the front saddles and discs against those of the V 40 T or T4. Can anyone tell me if this is possible? Do the pliers fit the shots of the V40 D? I also have to replace the main brake cylinder. Thoughts about this gratefully and thank me already in advance ! Greetings, Richvm

  • Battery empty – V40 an unbreakable fortress

    Hi I just couldn’t believe it when I wanted to open my car yesterday Abdend and I had to stand in front of closed doors. At first I wanted to open the ZV by constriction, but that didn’t work, because I tried it cuddly at the door lock with the key and had to find with astonishment that the key can be turned like at the normal open, but the door opening did not make any movement. The breakdown service could not open the doors either (you can tell me After more than an hour the helper could open the door for me, but he had to take the car up. He put the minus cable (bridge cable) on the ground with me and clamped the plus to a pole. Then he climbed under the car with this construct to get to the plus pole from below (no change). Finally he could pass the current on the starter and see, the doors were now opening again (I’m sorry, I’m sorry, but I’m sorry, but I’m sorry, I’m sorry, but I’m sorry, but I’m sorry. In!). My question to you: Is there really no way to open this car when the battery is empty? That can’t be that this is unfeasible for me as a layman or? How does the Volvo friendly do that?
