  • disc wiper no longer wipes volvo 850

    Hello! I have a Volvo 850 and a problem with my left (front) windscreen wiper. After about 3/4 of the wiper distance the wiper no longer touches the disc. It looks like the axis of the wiper arm has changed. However, I have not yet figured out how to correct the arm. Does anyone have an idea? Thank you, Markus

  • ABS-Spezis beware… here expert knowledge is needed !

    Aaaalso It’s about a 98 V70 / 144PS / automatic with TRACS (again the daughter) The ABS error concerns me and also parts of you for quite a while. It all started with it, and the error is still today so that the ABS and the Tracs lamp sporadically went on (mistake read out, sensors at the back both exchanged, are now new). Then first the ECU (9162675 / Tracs) against the the forum control unit (9140773 / no Tracs) replaced. Error away. So my St. When I put it back in, the error 431 came (translated: General error in the ABS control unit). I Googled it all once and found out: Error code 431 means: “Inlet valve back right” “open circuit or short circuit” I can’t do anything with it. Can it be due to the different control units? One with, the other without Tracs. Can someone tell me what that means and how to continue with the error search now? e Measures: 1) Let the control unit solder. 2) Exchanged ABS sensors at the rear (after that the error sensor at the rear could no longer be detected). 3) Examines the plug contacts in a precise manner, uses no eye-catching contact spray. 4) Plugs tested for a fixed seat (locking is correctly hooked in) 5) Both control units are read out immediately after installation and all errors are deleted. I am grateful for any suggestion. Greetings Thomas

  • Thermostat coolant circuit

    With my S80II D5 (D5244T10) the hose to the cooler is already lukewarm after only 2 km even in winter. So the engine reaches operating temperature only after a very long time. The workshop has now replaced the thermostat because it obviously opens too early. After I just picked up the car, I had to find out that nothing has changed. Does anyone of you know whether a conventional wax thermostat works in this D5 or whether this is an electrically heated thermostat if the latter should be the case, then maybe the electric heating could be incorrectly controlled by the engine management (i.e. the electric heating in the thermostat starts too early) and there is the cause. A new thermostat (original Volvo) can not be broken again immediately.

  • VEA engines Running power/damage

    Hi, especially in the new series (SPA, CMA) the durability of the “2l-motörchen” is repeatedly questioned. In the 90s there are naturally no high running performance yet. Here in the EUCD range there are the VEA engines already since 2013/2014. Therefore I am happy about information about running performance and possibly motor-related problems. Motor damage I could not at least find about the search?

  • Quality deterioration in mobile1? Alternatives?

    Hello together, has Mobil the quality of the Mobil1 engine oils deteriorated? On their homepage link, the 0w40 (New Life) and 0W30 only speak of SHC synthesis and to my knowledge this is not a “real” full-synthetic oil, but only a frozen conventional mineral oil (yes, I know, starting product is always petroleum i.e. mineral)Link are 1651 pages (author Star Doctor is interesting) I wanted to switch from Mobil1 0W40 to 0W30, but the 0W30 does not have any Are there good alternatives? What do you think of them:http://www.liqui-moly.de/liquimoly/produktdb.nsf/id/d_1171.html

  • common sense asked ?

    Hello fellow driver and Volvofans I would like to ask common sense here, when would the pain limit begin with you, where you would think to invest even further in your car? Each of you here plans spare parts and repairs somehow. Otherwise we would not drive these old Volvos. My car was just back at the friendly,(as every year) Tuv new and left a four-digit amount. Now unfortunately the next damage announces itself , costs about 2500 € and we have already pushed some small things up to the next TÜV. Again about 1000 €. As I said, I am talking about a car that has no maintenance jam. Maybe the one or the other writes his thoughts so inspiring that I get the desire to continue. LG

  • Emergency Brake Assistant Pro?

    Hello dear Volvo community, I will soon have a change of vehicle, and therefore also a model change. It will probably be a V60 from year 2013. I put a great value on the driving assistance systems. I would like to ask the following questions: According to information from the network there are differences in the emergency brake assistant. How can I find out if this is the “normal” or an emergency brake assist pro? In conjunction with automatic, I have a complete delay on d A City Safety, if I understand this correctly, is not designed for it. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find anything exactly on this subject. Thank you very much in advance Kanyk

  • V60 temporarily does not accept gas

    Hello together Today on the highway my Volvo suddenly no longer takes on gas. For over 6 years I have been driving a Volvo V60 D3, MY2012, a super car and always reliable. He had shown such allures a little more than a year ago, but only once and then it was gone again. But let’s go to the symptoms: I drive about 120 km/h and notice that he gives no more thrust than I give gas. Only the speed goes up, even at full throttle, nothing. manual switching (is an automatic) does not bring any success. In the display no error message. After a felt eternity (perhaps 10-30 seconds) he takes the gas again and gives thrust. I had this today 3 times on the track. On the road I never had that. Does anyone have any idea what this could be about? On the way back I had no problems. Thank you!

  • S60 Used car purchase

    Hello, come from the 850 corner. Have a question here about S60 used car purchase, friend of mine I could warm up for Volvo after he rusted his C180 under his butt. What do I have to pay special attention to at the S 60, where are the weak points in the model ? which engines are especially recommended ? For hints I would be grateful, as it goes these days on test drives and sightseeing tour. Thanks in the front of the Masabi

  • Water in the footroom – old threads already looked through

    The passenger footroom under the floor mat is damp. However, only front, rear nothing, driver side nothing. What I checked: Large sequences in the engine compartment and the small one in front of the pollen filter: All 3 free and continuous. Climate water runs down. In the middle under the amplifier and box of the heater everything is dry, as well as around the flow of the heating box (the hose also sticks on). A musty smell is for me for a while (p aar weeks), so I don’t rule out that the main cause of the water break-in is already something. But the car has to stand out at the moment, and there is good and quick advice what I can still check. Does anyone have an idea? The front sequences of the sliding roof end again where? I mean that the kickpanel on the outside on the plastic lip had a drop of water, but above it (on the Lüfer and on the outer wall) everything was dry. And what about the A-pillar where more water could come in?
