  • white smoke

    Hello people for 2 weeks I am proud owner of a V40 T4 2003 with 80 tkm. It is really a great car which convinces me in all points. Just now I was eating with my better half on an alp. (was really delicious :-). When driving home I noticed with horror that after longer sliding operation without giving gas, when accelerating white smoke comes out to the exhaust. (a real cloud) Unfortunately this happens every time after approx. 3-4 min sliding operation mountain off. In normal operation, e.g. gas off on the highway and subsequent acceleration nothing is to be seen. Actually the car is top maintained, water, oil everything in the green area. The car still has warranty and I want to have clarified that. Something can not be right, I can not expect my “Hintermann” to do that 🙂 Has someone ever heard such a thing? PS My dealer (brand honest) doesn’t know any further at the moment either.(official Volvo representative) Thanks and Grus Martin

  • V40 brakes

    Hello for now………. I have to refill my V40 from time to time with brake fluid. I searched for leaks on brake lines, calipers and in the engine compartment, but none found. Brake pedal hardly shows up, even if I ‘pumped’ 2-3 x before. After about 1500 km of city traffic I have to refill about the 1/2 quantity between the marks Min / Max at the storage tank. Where could I still look for leaks ?? Thanks already in advance for tips

  • Automatic: mechanical lock locks…

    Hello guys, with my V40 1.8 automatic, some little plastic particle broke off on the switch lock button yesterday…Result: the knob didn’t come out anymore, so it didn’t unlock and – I couldn’t pull the key off. That was funny! With the help of iens randomly in the car, (…) I was able to get the D ing to jump out after a lot of grope and pull the key off. Hete tomorrow everything went back with careful activity. But I’m afraid that this will happen again and I don’t even get along with it. Does anyone know that? How can I solve the problem permanently? New knob and everything that should be included in it is cheap – Volvo is not known for human friendliness.

  • A greeting to the Volvo drivers

    Hello, When you are on the road in the nice weather you always notice how motorcyclists deal with themselves. The other “dark and rough companions” always greet each other, also unknown way!!! A buddy of mine, who bought an old VW bus a short time ago, told me the same, that the “bus drivers” also greet each other. In order to bring it to the point, what do you think of it, even if the elk fans say hello to each other???? Should it be an easy thing to spread about the forum. A dear Gruss cornholio209

  • Buy ok? and further questions

    Hello Volvo driver, would like to buy this Volvo and have a few questions about it! Is the price ok? I could look at it myself. Actually looked very good for the age. What about the taxes? He has as much as I have already read here E1. You can convert it to E2. Only where can you have it done. (FVH?) What about the durability of the engine? What else should I pay attention to? Thank you! Greeting http://www.mobile.de/…/da.pl?…

  • Volvo’s the (beginning) 90s – watch out for what?

    Moin, I’m looking for a car at the moment. Last time I drove a Benz W124 station wagon, 3 liters diesel, year 90, which has become too expensive and too broken for me (for one year Portugal’s pothole tracks make the strongest Benz ready) I’m very excited about the vehicle category, because a lot of space and stable like a tank, but the Mercedes are too expensive for me at the moment. An acquaintance drives a V90 station wagon, which is similar to the Benzos to me, so I got the first time aware of Volvo. A few days on it mobile, then I noticed the many 740/745 models, which are already very cheap. I need the car for a move, and then I would like to drive it another one, two years. Now to the question – what is to be considered with these older models, there are typical weaknesses? (I know that these are not new cars, I am interested in things like “if there and there crack, don’t take it, then is more broken…” etc. – think LG, I know what I am looking for a car.

  • HU 850 MP3 capable

    Tach too, does anyone know if the HU850 can play self-burned MP3 CDs ? Spy

  • View across the box: R-Class

    Wow, I’ve been looking for that for a long time, a station wagon that fits in. Looks like an inflated Astra Caravan, but hopefully Volvo gives the last push to bring a V90 based on the VCC. Also with V8 in the price list. CU BK

  • Strength of blower in climatronics?

    Or is it called climatics? So the automatic one where you can no longer adjust warm/cold, but the desired temperature to be felt. What interests me: you go, then a longer distance. The climate is always on “car”, AC can be either on or off. At which level does the blower run with you? And does the strength change frequently or is it always the same? The best would be information about temperatures like today (15-20 degrees) Rapace – which is still not happy with the thing

  • XC70 -> Everything you find cleaning up …

    … I have (as announced in another Fred – yes, I am neat 😉 just taken my XC70 apart (yes, I’m still there) – to clean up. I also cleaned the spare wheel chuck once and I came across all these parts … (left of the jack, clear. On the right the tool, also clear. But I hadn’t noticed the bag, because it is so far in the back. So unpack it)
