Hello dear moose drivers, in line with the beginning of the winter tire period I have a completely inappropriate question 😉 I will now have new winter tires (225/55 R16) mounted on the original 16 inch Volvo rim, on which they should stay. For optical reasons I would like to mount new rims in 17 or 18 inch for the summer tires in spring. My tyre dealer advised me against the 18 inch tires, because they wear off probably faster and I or the moose very many kilometers fr How are your experiences with 17 or 18 inch tyres than 225/50 R 17 or 225/45 R 18 ? Is a higher wear noticeable ? How much harder will the V70 be due to the low cross-sections ? Of course this is very subjective, but a feedback would still not be uninteresting.

V60 leather seats without seat heating
Hello community, my brother-in-law recently bought himself a fancy V60 as an annual car. He has all the buckles in it. Of automatic, rear-view camera etc… BUT with his leather seats there is no seat heating!? I actually didn’t want to believe it at all and I looked for the button for it. Unfortunately in vain… After a question to the seller this was confirmed again. I really didn’t expect that there would still be such a thing in this price segment in 2011. Well, anyway. My question now would be whether the seat heating is already integrated in the leather seats and “only” the cables to the control unit are missing, or if you have no chance to retrofit there afterwards. Maybe this is also easily activated by OBD2 or similar? So that you only have to buy the button? Does anyone know that? Thanks for your answers. Ciao pyro

Upgrade V70 alarm system
Hello, my V70 was hit in the underground garage a few days ago and the driver’s airbag was stolen. Although the deadlock function of the doors prevented the door from opening, the thief climbed through the window and left a hole in the steering wheel (see system) and a lot of pieces in the car. Short and crisp: I will equip my elk with an alarm system, so I need tips from you on what can be installed there. Actually, I thought: I will equip my elk with an alarm system. yes, no one steals a Volvo anyway, but has now been taught a better one. Since I am technically an absolute nerd, a self-installation is so not in question. Can someone advise me about a product or better still, can possibly the original Volvo alarm system be retrofitted? Thank you in advance for your (hopefully) numerous answers!

Deficiencies C30 😉
Every other one in the P1 forum will think “sometimes Deuphin with a nasty report” But what can I do for me to simply put on flaws.. Today the first real test drive on a C30 T5 Geartronic. Drives the same vehicle that I have, but you notice the few kilos of underweight relatively clearly, the little little one plucks really violently when badly driven. Also the rear design always likes better, but only in the bright outer colors. Please never order a The car is great. Now comes the BUT *g* I had this thing in my fingers for exactly an hour. Driver seat snaps, strap holder B-pillar clacks, navigation system has failed twice (once black screen, once turned off and drove down). Thank you Volvo, thank you for staying true to yourself despite the daring design Love it or hat it

S40/V50 Facelift
Hey! has just learned that Volvo is planning a facelift mid-next year for the current model generation. Does anyone have any information about what should be changed on the ex- or interior? Perhaps new engines? Or what would you like? Which flaws should be fixed? I’ll start with: cornering light, rear lights in LED design, painted underbody interior: new inlays for center console as example the virtual white variant known from the Volvo C30, cocoa brown leather and different iedene Chrome frames to enhance the interior… Let’s get a little philosophizing…

Servus! I asked the friendly people today if it is possible to exhibit this annoying sound, which always appears when you are not strapped on. It is not possible with software, they told me. Can’t you choose a conventional method to avoid this? As an example, to cut the connection cable from the buckle plug. Has anyone ever tried that, or how do you deal with the problem? Since my Volvo S40 is leased, I don’t know if this is a damage to property. Should I possibly share my project with the friendly ones? Thank you in advance!!!

New wire harness
Hi, on 04.10.06 I took over my new V50 2.0D from the friendly one. Super Auto unfortunately the Navi did not go – no Sat reception! After three workshop visits the busy screwdrivers found that in the factory a cable from the receiving part was squeezed during installation. Since today one no longer laid pure power cables, but data highways so-called BUS systems could not be repaired this cable. VOLVO therefore thundered my friend the complete vehicle cable construction I saw the thing in the shipping box 0.5 m x 0.5 m x 1.5 m colorful cable !! You can’t imagine that! Three days of workshop picking up !! I can’t imagine that this action can go well with the best will, the car will be a great folding box. The first 6000 km were pure joy, despite not funning NAVI. Does any of you have any advice? I would like to put the car Volvo in front of the door again, or should I wait for something from the K abelbaum – change action will be?

B5234T cylinder head overhaul
There may be some of them that stand on horny, NACKTE and uncensored engine parts in degraded condition… Then you will not be disappointed here :3! As described above it is a B5234T5 cylinder head. This one had Aua… A valve succumbed to the material fatigue and the load of the operation… So it flew out with all its relatives! Not that in 1000KM the next “burn away”. They are still standing there so that I know exactly which valve spring sat where and thus everything except the Valves find its old place. Order has to be :-)! The new ones have been ordered and hopefully they will come on Saturday ! It will not be planned yet, just before it is installed again somewhere. I myself drive a 2.0L 的 10V , Lahmarsch Elchinchen so the head will not be installed with me ! For suggestions and other conversation I am always open.

Blinkbox Delete error code ABS
I drive a 850 EZ. 1995, which still has the flashbox for the self – blinking. ABS light burns, error codes 3-1-3 and 3-1-4 , which means that the rear right and left ABS sensor is open or interrupted. I removed the two sensors, cleaned them and could not find anything striking. I wanted to delete the error code for control now, but this does not work. According to the instructions I did the following: Test pin in socket 3 (ABS), button longer a press ls 5 sec. – red LED goes on – then press again button longer than 5 sec., LED goes off. Ignition off, ignition back on, control on the flash box. Should come 1-1-1. I had both error codes flashed out as required before the deletion process…for safety several times. But it still happens 3-1-4 – which affects the left sensor at the back. Question: did I do something wrong? Shouldn’t the error be deleted until at least a few meters away ahren ist? Looking forward to your ideas. Greeting Micah
