  • Accident repair, was everything made worse?

    Hi, a month ago I was with my V40 at the dealer where I had bought it in the workshop. So I had to check the starter because he often caused problems. After the check the workshop manager drove his private car backwards into my parked Volvo. Damage: – right xenon headlights pressed in and glass broken – bonnet pressed in – radiator grill broken – fender right dented – engine cooler pressed in back – apron broken – This small discwisc This workshop belongs to a friend of my ex who also uses the car. He also wanted to repair the damage, the insurance from the cause of the accident pays yes… Now after almost 3 weeks the car is practically finished again, but there is a problem and he does not want to push the car out again: 1. D he new right xenon headlights is a different one than before. I had there some with black caps around the pears, the new one is a quite normal 2nd bonnet and fenders were fetched by him and laked, but colour differences can be seen… 3. The engine cooler is “only” a reworked, so no new one, supposedly no longer exists 4. He has dismantled both headlight wipers, allegedly gets the broken one no longer repaired and thinks it would be better to take them away anyway, so I’m also insecure because of the value of the car… He just took it off… 5. and worst: After a few minutes of running the engine comes a strange noise from the direction of the timing belts. Is such a scratching which then repeats itself every second…?! Because of this problem he doesn’t want to give us the car out because that still has to be done, whatever the problem is. Costed however extra, only what is that and how can be so if there is no damage from rher was and he didn’t move the car? I uploaded some photos for that, what happened there… MfG

  • Black gear oil

    Hello! I just had to change the cooler of my S80 and of course also the oil of the transmission oil oil cooler came to me (automatic gearbox). This was quite black (the color, which also has the normal oil, when you make an oil change). Now I had to fill in some (0,5l) fresh automatic transmission oil (AW55-50), which I bought directly from Volvo. The color of the new oil is red. Now my question: I know that Volvo does not prescribe a transmission oil change, and I know that in the 850s series there have been massive problems with this regulation, but now there is no need for it. But should I still make a change? Or is the color (which is caused by suspended substances) irrelevant? What do you mean? Change: Yes or No? Thank you for the comments MedanoCC

  • Honda Accord Aerodeck

    Hello guys, need your advice to buy your Honda! There a dealer offers me an Accord Aerodeck Bj. 12/96 with 134ooo km on the clock. Is a 2.0 with 136 hp and should cost 3,750 euros. What is such a car worth or where do I have to negotiate? I would also have liked to know if this car has bigger weaknesses. I used to drive an Accord and was always happy with it. What about consumption, insurance and taxes. My last car (Audi A6 2.5 TDI) ate my hair off my head. Now I want to go back to Honda because as I said always satisfied. Thank you for your information and a good slide into the new year!

  • Is the new Civic safe?

    The following link:http://www.euroncap.com/…/Honda%20Civic%20datasheet.pdf I also ordered a box like this and I’m hard to think about undoing the purchase. For a newly developed car, this is simply a disaster. However, I had almost feared this in view of the cab forward design. When using this space, the crutch zone is apparently slightly narrowly dimensioned. If you compare the test with the golf and also other compact German provenance, you come to the conclusion that Honda still has to catch up here. No Honda in the 5 stars. Ok, the other models are already older, but that the Civic 2006 shows no improvements to the predecessor is a shame!

  • TÜV what should I do now????

    It’s too puke… so I was running with the moose to the Tüv first quite well AU passed, brake super ect., then small break-in standlight broken, wiping water at the back doesn’t work. I was already looking forward to the new plaque. Then, the car was just on the pit, a call from below: “Ey, colleague look ma” Then two ingenors from below with the screw pulling on crumbling. Rust rushed audible and my hopes shrouded. Conclusion: In the rear area “Frame/bearing parts corrision damage with considerable weakening back li/re in the area of the AHK” according to report. Super! I to home, box bucked up and everything taken apart. What should I say now? rust but only the bumper holders! (see picture). The rest in the rear almost stainless and far from being rusted out. Calling the parts ordered with the comment: That’s not a carrying part! So what should I do now? Can I somehow get the gentlemen to pay for a cross?

  • V70 1 / Lamda probe / gas operation

    Hello together, the following problem / the following question: My V70 1 (year of construction 99. 205000 km) has been running in gas operation for some time and the engine control light is also on. The car goes off when switching down, or has rotational fluctuations… In the workshop I was told that the lamda probe was defective. 1. Question: In petrol operation I did not have these problems ? Shouldn’t there be similar problems in benzinbetrieb?? The good master has fitted me a new one, which however did not bring any improvement.. He said to me that he possibly got a wrong one and has to get another one in there… What do you think about it? what can I do ?? Greeting

  • Are Monroe Ride Lever an alternative to nivomates?

    Hello forum. Since the nice uncle of the DEKRA has denied me the seal for the next two years due to a leaky nivomate on the HA, I am looking for a more cost-effective alternative to the series Nivomats of my 850 station wagon. Unfortunately, the OEM market no longer offers identical dampers. And in the bay only scrap-ready models are crawling around. After about 35 phone calls with the car recyclers in my region I came across the Ride Lever from Monroe. Has someone here already had experience with these dampers and can kindly give me information? Do they fit easily into the photos and what is to be taken into consideration when installing them? Do you have to pump them up for load operation or do this automatically? For a help I would like to thank you in advance.
