Hello guys, no, don’t worry – I’m not going to ask if you can close the electric tailgate by remote control — I’ve read the manual and I know that it’s not possible I’m just wondering if no one has retrofitted that yet…? I mean, on the one hand, it would be very convenient if, for example, you took a shopping bag out of the trunk with each hand and then just press a button of a remote control (which you can still clamp between your fingers) or from the entrance of the house (if you have to turn off the pockets anyway to open the door) – press the button, shut the door, press the other button, car closed. And on the other hand it would be absolutely no problem to retrofit it yourself. As I understood that, the key in the door is only a simple lock key. So there is a wire that is interrupted by the switch. Switch (actually push the button) – short key ss – Shutter closed. This could be installed for a handful of euros (or francs) yourself. Some micro-locker (press button = contact closed) with keychain remote control parallel to the installed button and ready. Should you get in any electronic shop. The power supply of the receiver could be easily achieved via a lithium battery (should hold several years) or via the on-board network (has enough power in the tailgate). I have here from Leut or even over model series. But I’ve found for hours after a report about the above conversion googlet and nothing…. Really??? Gruss Christoph

Water loss – ideas about this?
moin, now the moose has a new cooler, after the first was completely through and the second apparently the oil cooler broke inside inside. Well and now it loses water again, but now elsewhere. Why? and where does this come from? After the installation of the new cooler and the test drives everything was good. Then I drove about 200km, only max 120km/h and the next morning the balance tank is empty, filled up, driven (about 30km) at home and saw that it drips, first very slowly and then always faster, in the evening then looked again, the red lamp is already on and he complains about too little water. I tried to photograph the place where it drips. first very close and then from further away, standing beside the front wheel (driver side). Do you have an idea?

XC90 and others: digital broadcasting
I know: Is there still a long way to go, but I read in the newspaper today that there is already a binding agreement of the radio inventors (??) to distribute radio only digitally from 2010 onwards. All current vehicles – apart from accidents – will also be on the wheels in 2010. What do I do with my Dolby Surround Dingsbum? How do I explain to a potential buyer that he can only listen to music if he sings himself? Greet Frank – something – but not very – hasty!

Small performance
Moin, wanted to introduce me briefly – I am the Manni year 1962 and come from near Kassel (Habittswald). I learned car mechanics ages ago, but never worked in the profession, but always used the knowledge only for the hobby screwdriver. Cars I had certainly already over 40… After a bad experience with a Volvo V70 II D5, I have now bought a Toyota Avensis for the everyday stuff. Since today I still own a wine-red 850 T5 automatic from 96. The moose has 307000 km down is still quite well preserved. The next time I will pick it up a bit. Will surely have some questions in the future. Until then and greetings from Northern Hesse, Manni

Brakes, the Xte
Moin, picked up my Volvo 850 T5r yesterday ( Finally I have a…. ) I read and read, don’t get quite smart: brake discs 280mm – others say the R have 305mm. Does this apply only to the 850R or also to the T5R Should it mean that I have 280mm in it – which normal tenure, for students affordable brake combination has proven itself by now ?

CarImageAll wheel: XC90 V8 in test against Q7, Commander and Cadillac
In AutoBildAllesAllesAllesrad were tested 7-seater V8 SUV. Result: 1. Audi Q7, 2. Jeep Commander (Hemi V8), 3. XC90, 4. Cadillac SRX The XC90 only lands behind the Jeep because of the terrain classification (clearly, no one arrives against the Commander, even the Q7 not) and because the Jeep is the most cost-effective V8 on the market. Overall, I think the test results are ok, but the Audi seems to me a little “overvalued”, its sheer size (i.e. outer length, inside it is comparatively scarce) The testers probably also impressed. Otherwise the usual praise and rebuke, especially the question about the V8-sense (in view of rising fuel prices). rolo

Illumination V60 [D3S-Xenon]
Hallå. After the exchange of the Xenon burners it seems to me that the light image has changed. On the one hand, I think that the light spreads further to the left and right, on the other hand, I see a yellowish “rand” at the end of the rather whitish light cone – difficult to capture with the camera. In my opinion, you can only install the burners in one position and snap in. Is this all normal or has a mistake crept in? How does your light image look like?

Footroom lamp > Problem with LED conversion…
Evening, I actually wanted to do my brother a favor, unfortunately this doesn’t really work… It’s about an S60 Mod.’05. This one has original footroom lights in front. Now I have this converted to white Superflux. I tested them with my Audi and it’s fine… But: With the S60 they don’t go somehow… + and – are right! Now I didn’t think they’d go at all, but they don’t glimmer very easily. the FFB pushes… do the footroom lights only shine when it gets dark? Before the expansion they went still… What could it be?? Does anyone have an idea? b5-driver
