  • Blinkbox Delete error code ABS

    I drive a 850 EZ. 1995, which still has the flashbox for the self – blinking. ABS light burns, error codes 3-1-3 and 3-1-4 , which means that the rear right and left ABS sensor is open or interrupted. I removed the two sensors, cleaned them and could not find anything striking. I wanted to delete the error code for control now, but this does not work. According to the instructions I did the following: Test pin in socket 3 (ABS), button longer a press ls 5 sec. – red LED goes on – then press again button longer than 5 sec., LED goes off. Ignition off, ignition back on, control on the flash box. Should come 1-1-1. I had both error codes flashed out as required before the deletion process…for safety several times. But it still happens 3-1-4 – which affects the left sensor at the back. Question: did I do something wrong? Shouldn’t the error be deleted until at least a few meters away ahren ist? Looking forward to your ideas. Greeting Micah

  • What’s that part / “I got a hole in my head”

    Moin moin allemeinand, since I (unfortunately) have “a hole” in the cylinder head gasket, I am looking for a replacement engine and saw in the following ‘bay offer’ a (for me) funny-looking part in the rear view of the (girl) engine there. http://www.ebay.de/itm/271239921268?… or article no. 271239921268 (if the link does not work). There comes some ‘tube’ with ‘pot’ on the cylinder head(or valve cover) that there is no with my 2.5er/850/10V (mal abss This part can’t be seen in other offers; as far as I’ve seen – neither in V70-I nor in 850s. Does anyone have an idea about what it is? Could one somehow ‘deadly’ – perhaps difficult, since DORT is probably just a hole ‘in the head’ ?! Thanks in advance already for possible analyses.

  • Volvo C70 T5 Wekssport suspension how deep?

    Hello all, I have before my work side sports springs to exchange for H&R or Vogtland springs. Complete suspension is not possible for me. A friend of mine decrypted my VIN and let me out an excerpt of my equipment. Among other things, it also says ‘Volvo Sport suspension with 30mm lowering’ now I’m a bit confused, I always thought it was only 20mm, it could be that there was this option with 30mm. Maybe someone has installed exactly these springs and d can tell me a short experience best still the comparison to the original (sport) suspension, if you can call it that. The reason for the change is, the very nervous driving behaviour gives me the suspension back too much feedback thus it seems very hard and almost at the limit. My dampers have been installed new, which is why I only want to change springs.

  • S40/V50: Space for crossover behind the door panel?

    Hello, I would like to replace the front standard loudspeakers of the standard performance audio system with a 2-way component system. I have the following questions: 1. Does the door panel provide space for a crossover, if yes which max. size ? 2. What impedance do the speaker outputs of the radio (2 or 4 ohms) have? 3. Does someone have a tip for a good 2-way system up to approx. 150 €?

  • Consumption V70 III, D5, 205 hp, AWD

    Hello together, Here’s something about consumption (and two other things) of my new V70 D5, 205 hp, AWD. After about 5,000 km I can’t reach it under 9.5 l/100 km even with the most economical driving method. I drive about 40 to work every day, of which about 25 km are motorways. I have little hope that this is because the car has not yet entered properly. Can’t imagine that the consumption is still significantly down. I notice, however, that the engine is so low from about 30/35 km I have the feeling that it takes quite a long time to get really warm… In addition, the vehicle has a terrible smell every 1-2 weeks, like burnt oil/diesel. (definitely not coming from the heater). I was lucky and could show this to the dealer last Saturday, along with light smoke from the engine room. After a few minutes i The heater is still extremely loud when it closes, or I start the heater manually. My dealer will check the vehicle from tomorrow, then we’ll see what happens. Maybe it all hangs together somehow, but maybe they don’t even find anything. I’ll keep you up to date. Greeting Georg

  • The V70 Lobes thread

    Hello, as is well known, there is a lot of negative reports in forums – who is satisfied, is happy and silent.

I start: + no prestige stress, but nevertheless good image + everywhere presentable + sporty, but not prolific + well usable trunk + relaxed offer inside + comfortably designed suspension + does not stand at every corner + glazed I look forward to your additions. Greetings f4e

  • How quickly does VOLVO Bank respond to a request?

    Dear Volvo-Fangemeinde, on 9 June 2010 I wrote a qualified request to VOLVO Bank. The topic was to change the offer of VOLVO early on to a new vehicle. So to get to and offer – after 2 weeks then the information – is still too expensive! Responds to 100% of the statement of the VOLVO Bank, which gives me as a loyal customer a financial advantage. So a nice letter to the bank with the note the man a). The premium claim is not in line with the external appearance. I haven’t received an answer yet! I’m very disappointed that VOLVO wants to have one as a customer.

  • Catalyst defective, excess in warranty repair?

    Hello together, unfortunately my Volvo V40, BJ 2001 – bought 8 weeks ago – the catalyst is broken. At first we thought that falls under the warranty, but after searching the internet and talking to dealers is probably not quite clear whether the cat is treated as a wear part or not and to avoid legal trouble, we have been able with the dealer to pay 2/3 and we 1/3 of the cost of the repair (first he wanted to make 50/50). 800 euros for the cat as well as a good hour of work, i.e. approx. 950 euros. Now I asked at a part dealer what the cat costs with him and he has called me a price of approx. 480 euros incl. VAT. and of course incl. his span. Original part, just as it is now installed. Am stinkesauer! May the dealer pay over 100% of the material value, if we participate in the costs with a certain percentage? His invoice goes great on… But we pay over 100 euros more! Have cancelled the workshop appointment now, because I don’t have a nerve to renegotiate with him and want to be sure of what the (legal) situation is like here. Have you had similar experiences or can you help me with anything else? Thank you for your help and nice greetings!
