  • Super suction sound and transducer for V50 2.4i in just 30 minutes

    Hello dear elk driver fellows… Have a little bit of the original air filter box “reoptimized”….(very expert, I know 🙂 ) and found amazing intake sound. In another thread someone has already taken a look at the box and threw out the load suction valve and a few other parts that have not been named further. I have still gone here and drilled into the 2 air collectors to the left of the intake tube to the lowest point on the ground each a 20mm hole. Is for the performance on hot engine perhaps a little slowing*, but the passage and the ingenious, aggressive, but not too intrusive intake sound from below, it is worth it all times. (* it will probably only cause to the test bench to be able performance loss.) I don’t believe it myself, since the air collectors themselves sit very close to the engine and become very warm, also the accumulated air should take over the heat.

  • V50 and the DPF

    Hello, I have a problem with my 2008 V50 1.6D – rather with my DPF. At the end of last year it was the first time dense. I let it burn twice before I decided to let it work with a conditioner, so that it is like new again. That was at about 110000 km driven. Today (2 months after the preparation and nearly 3000 km driven) the car went back into the emergency run and the engine control light burns again. So the same symptom as the DPF was full. Even if I drive a lot of short distance in the city, I have driven from time to time also on long distance, where the DPF could have burned free. Can it really be that the DPF is back after such a short distance? (since the old 110000km held). Bzw. can this possibly be something else? Defected glow candles or something like that? Do you have a tip for me? Thank you very much in advance.

  • The current environmental debate.!

    Hello As a Volvo driver it is clear which side I am on. That now our Chancellor is also vehemently strong for the car industry, I find it worrying. It is obvious that the production of fuel-eaters in the long term rather endangers the jobs. So slowly I ask, how strong the influence of the economy is and whether this is limited to the usual more or less legal bribes, or whether with so much money at stake (mord) threats are already common and present. Anyway, the limit of 120cc something is not the yellow of the egg. Why can you not also introduce pollution certificates in the car industry? All companies that only build fuel-eaters, pay on it, with many it will compensate itself and a few can profit from it just if they are smart. And that is twice because they remain competitive. And the consumer notices directly at the car price, where it hurts or he can save what, since most people with running costs like taxes or fuel-free as well as with a taste-free

  • Brakes

    Good evening dear community, would there have been a question: From which BJ was actually the EBA (Emergency Brake Assistance) installed in the S60? (only from 2002)? Or otherwise asked: Is it possible that my S60 T5 year 2oo1 has no one? (I and the subsequent traffic at least did not notice it so far and in my manual there is also nothing of it…but there is nothing in it from the built-in panic fkt…. In the manual of the current BJ it says that the EBA is integrated in the DSTC, and that my elk has yes.) Thank you in advance. Greetings Fox p.s.: Please no discussion about the meaning and nonsense of this assis, I have already read enough about it thanks to the search fkt.

  • Fog/light right XC90?

    Hello, the fog lamp in the XC 90 is left in the upper part of the bumper. Now I noticed yesterday, that the lamp on the right in the bumper also seems to have an incandescent lamp socket. (looks at it from the outside) This is actually without function, had thought that this only has the function of a reflector. Now the question: If you remodel these two as additional taillight, that is allowed. The function of the fog lamp must of course be preserved, e.g. with a 2 thread light. Technically I can do it, only what the TÜV uncles say about it. Thank you for your opinions in advance. Torsten who likes to rumbast on his vehicles……….

  • Air conditioning switches off sporadic

    Good day to the circuit! My air conditioning has the following problem: It cools quickly and wonderfully and yesterday I was at the climate maintenance and everything has been filled tight and new etc., so no problems about this, it cools now even better with icy wind under full load Now to the actual problem, which before the climate maintenance was already already present, however, I thought it would be with a possibly too low filling level together: I let the climate run yesterday on full load in the stand(-gas) 25 minutes and everything perfect. However, if I drive, then it turns off sometimes and does not start again, only when I manually operate the switch and switch it on again after 3min. I know that the climate itself switches off at short notice with certain factors, bspw. at full gas or when the outside temperature is < 0°C etc. And that's exactly what I think comes to this error: I drive and everything is wonderful and at some point it is out and doesn't go on again ... Does someone know such a mistake or knows/know what this might be?

  • ASSISTANCE ETS lights / Drezahl falls off / brake kicks takes no gas!

    Hello together, I am in despair my Volvo C70 2001 t5 2.3 liter spins since yesterday. Error code is displayed nixht. During the switching process the power suddenly falls into the basement. If I give gas in idle mode on 3000 revolutions and then the brake kicks he takes no more gas and falls off on stand gas. In other forums it read what it could have to do with the air mass meter or the gas pedal adjustment. Someone had something like this before? With diagnosis device all errors deleted Ets goes out but after start of the engine again and the game starts from the beginning. I would be grateful if someone here already had some ideas about it before. Had it just in reperature and was afraid to grab it deep into the bag again. For tips I am really very grateful.

  • Workshop for the timing belt in the Offenburg area

    Hello, I have found a relatif inexpensive replacement for my capputen V70 TDI, the only one the previous owner has not taken it so accurately with the maintenance intervals, which were always made by the workshop in the village! The fact is that the dental worker is already 12 years old even if the car has not yet exceeded the mileage limit until the next revision (all 120 000 KM). As far as I remember, the change interval is at 8 years. I had once again called Volvo in Deuschland and France for a standart estimate. Teeth belts with pipapo (simmerrings, flywheels, corner rollers, etc….) In D. 1200,- € In F. nearly 2000,- € So if I want to double the car value I should do that. But maybe one of you knows a nice friend, in the area Offenburg/Kehl or radius 50 Km of one not the whole month salary of a middle-sized citizen makes up for 6 hours of work. Maybe someone can help me over PN/PM already thanks you.

  • Put 1 liter of gasoline in the D5 and towed!

    Hello dear Volvo community! So I just got to the gas station, there I grab the tap and realize that I should just gas instead of diesel, should have hit me better the lightning. So! I packed exactly 1.1 liters of petrol (normal) in my D5 (BJ 2002) and did NOT start the car! Theoretically, another 70 liters of diesel on top of it could be again. The ADAC technology center advised me not to have the smallest quantities of gasoline could have devastating consequences (with the remark: if something goes wrong, I could drag the informant before the court – so the answer was clear!). Now my elk was just towed away and put in front of the fence at the local one. On the way there the tow trucker and I had to discuss whether a radio contribution to the rising steel price, of course also about influence factors on the price increase! That makes me very much. Both! Now it is right there, my Swedish living room made of steel and leather (assumably good prices, if you melt it), to the Vandals of the night made public by 2004!

  • Cracking in the clutch pedal

    Hello, with my 6 week old V60 the clutch pedal has been cracking for 3 days when kicking and letting go just before the top end point. The friendly one has only tried to lubricate this for a while and then after consultation with the workshop master it was then there will be a call-back action shortly. Does someone happen to know anything about it? Greeting, Marcel95
