  • Error reading in Leipzig (OBD II)

    Hello, is there someone in the Leipzig area who can read or delete my fault memory? OBD II in the center console. Unfortunately I can no longer connect with BrickDiag. A few years ago, I still did. I would drive a few km for it. Best regards

  • V60 engine gets hot, heating gets cold

    Hello, thank you so much for your help in advance! I drive a V60 – 2016 model, Bifuel with the B4204T11 engine. A few weeks ago I noticed that the heating on the highway is not getting really warm anymore, with longer distances and approx. 3000 rpm even completely fail. In the very low Drezhal area it becomes warm again. In addition, that the engine under full load became hot, coolant is boiled out and I was towed to the friendly. This could not find anything, thermostat could be controlled normally and also errors were apparently no stored, even during a test drive it was not too hot. The heating problem was also not recognized. When I picked up the car and tested on the highway it was immediately hot again, so again to the friendly…. Now, in another test drive the engine was probably flat if the engine was too hot. Now they want to replace the engine, because they suspect a crack in the engine block. I can’t quite do that yet why the heating did not heat. CO could not be proven in the coolant either. What do you think?

  • RTI-Navi in Volvo S80 Last Update 2016 ?!

    After a long, patient search from Flensburg to the south of Germany, I found myself in 2018: A top-kept Volvo S80 V8 AWD, Summum, Geartronic, Bj.: 2006 with a real 103,000 km I was able to take over from a Volvo dealer in Crailsheim. Truly no saving box – but for that much joy on the cultivated wolf in sheep’s fur. All spare parts can be obtained if necessary still at moderate prices from my Volvo dealer. Only with the navigation system RTI it becomes increasingly tight: the ultimate last software update was given according to Volvo 2016 as DVD. This is currently installed – but of course now already outdated. My question to the community: Who has already dealt with this problem and can possibly help further? Thank you in advance for feedback and my best wishes for the upcoming change of the year from the Sweden-Express from Bremen

  • Ets lamp, heavy throttle valve

    Hello together, if I press my accelerator pedal beyond a certain point the ets lamp goes on and it goes into emergency mode. I have removed the throttle valve (electronic magneti marelli) and it makes noises from an opening of a few centimeters and has resistance. I think it will lie on the position sensor, right? I would like to exchange it. Does anyone know a good address where to order such a one? At Skandix there is apparently no matching one. Also via Google and at Ebay I find no suitable within the EU. Only in England which are offered for 130€ incl. import tax.

  • Volvo 850 (1996), 170hp gasoline, 220.000KM, 3000€

    Hello dear “Volvo” community, I have the opportunity to purchase the above combination. There was a previous owner (rentner).The following was made new and is occupied: – timing belts, water pump, rollers – oil and all filter changes – battery – brakes – crossbars and track rod The car has quite few external signs of wear. Nevertheless my question: too high price for mileage? Thank you for your advice Heinz

  • Purchase advice C70 Coupe

    Hello Together, would like to have some expert knowledge and advice about the C70 Coupe from you. Think of me instead of my boring (but good) Golf IV to buy a slightly more exciting car. Is there anyone of the comparisons to both vehicles? Seat comfort, adjustability steering wheel and feel-good factor. (Will you walk to the Volvo dealer on the next occasion, of course) I don’t need a fast car, more important to me is reliability, economy and comfort (want to stay with automatic) – which is the most recommended engine (petrol)? How do you judge the durability of the automatic and how is the fuel consumption? (Has someone values for constant 130km/h, 100km/h and 60km/h according to the onboard computer) What are the smallest possible tire sizes on the C70 Coupe? (My bags are (half) full but with preference to 🙂 ) Are there serious children’s disease, or can you buy any year of year? (Have already read that E-gas is even more negative) Would you like to read out error memory – does this for the golf itself? OBD or the forum does not exist?

  • 10 W40 instead of 5 W30?

    Moin an alle V70, 144PS, Automatik, JTG-Gas, 370TKM Since yesterday I have my daughter’s elk in the “care”. First of all there is an oil change. Since I drive my whole fleet with 10 W40, I would also like to oil the new one. For the sake of simplicity. My questions: 1) Do I have disadvantages if I go to 10 W40? 2) Is it enough to let off the old oil, change the filter and fill the new oil, or would you rinse again with a filling? In advance already thanks for the answers.

  • Self-heating Power

    Hello Elchfans, what about the performance of your auxiliary heaters. With me it looks like with frozen windows all around: – 5°C Outside temperature without sun exposure – Running time 30min – Position heating regulator 26°C Result: – Cooling water temperature first beam – quite low? – Front disc free – Side discs front two holes with approx.15cm diameter – Everything is tight at the back – Interior temperature pleasant Is everything in the frame or can I let them up in the power??? Given the nevertheless high noise level I had expected more power. Is my first floor heating, therefore I have no experience and do not want to make myself a dep when friendly. Thanks for every hint or observation. Greetings from the “Ar…kaltem” Schwabenland Pasmo

  • I’ll introduce myself.

    Hello everyone I’ve only recently been in the Volvo forums and would like to introduce myself briefly: I live in Switzerland, am Italian and born in Spain (quite confused, isn’t it?). Since 2/2005 I drive a beautiful V50 T5 AWD summum with all the frills. In December I get my wife our 3rd child (previously still twins in 10/2006 put in the world) and because of the offspring I looked around for ‘nm Dickelch. On 3.11.2007 it’s time: our XC90 D5 Executive (Geartronic) we are allowed to pick up at the dealer! Pictures will follow immediately. Until then you have to settle down with a picture of our current little elk. So see you soon! fG nuudle

  • Soon will be ordered / Detailragen

    Hello! In the spring I return to the realm of elk and have a few more detailed questions; this time an XC90 is ordered. Since the dealer, with whom I have bought the Volvos so far no longer exists, I had to look for another dealer; 70 country road kilometers journey and the fact that he is only half a year Volvo dealer, of course I tempt to ask my questions in the forum. I have the following questions: – what distinguishes the option “day driving light”; already I have always left the light switch on, what is the difference? – do I quite assume that the “tire repair kit” does not include the spare wheel and instead a hollow remains in the trunk? – colorically I have set myself (regardfully safe) on “shadow blue”; I have some doubts about the interior design. Currently I tend to beige with beige leather seats, alternatively there is anthracite interior design with calcite cream leather in the room, but I would have to be grateful for it.
