  • XC90 T6 – really an exception

    Hello together! I have been considering the purchase of an XC90 T6 for 2 months and follow my desired configuration of a new T6 as well as the offer of demonstration cars, young used cars and day registrations etc. on the relevant car forums. Diesel models are available in good selection. In addition to the (not quite cheap) T8 there is virtually no offer with the gasoline models. One gets the impression that over 95% of all XC90 are built as diesel. Is this actually representative? Or are the T6 owners so happy that they do not sell or the dealers with the demonstration cars trimmed only on diesel? Although especially the dealers when using a vehicle over 3 years rather advise themselves to a petroler!? Greeting, Kai

  • Engine fire due to oil leak

    Hello Elchfriends!!! Don’t find the right topic where I can explain my problem!! My first contribution here…. has a V40 Bj. 01 100kw! on my yesterday’s ride I noticed strong smoke coming out of the engine compartment! I stopped immediately and looked, when the bonnet opened I hit flames, could immediately delete with snow and everything went well! In the troubleshooting we then found out the engine oil kicked out and ran on the cracker, and had ignited! It has itself lower sheet metal, which is at the rear aggas outlet of the cylinders (so the cracker of the two engine and cockpit is located), a kind of stopper, rubber seal (round) loosened and oil could then run on the cracker. I mean the sheet where a hose is attached, the preheated air transports to the air filter. can tell me someone like this stopper, seal or what this means for a thing and looks like? It is not a screw that can be screwed into the engine block, there is no help me in the threadjo!

  • Plug connection / steering rod

    Hello together, yesterday was with the dealer around div. accessories for my V50 ( comes in 10 days ) to examine. I happened to get a deeper insight into the foot area / pedalerie. Unfortunately, yesterday there was no contact person at the dealer present who could help me further. Maybe you have the corresponding information …. There is no plastic cover of the steering bar in the foot area, i.e. exposed steering bar. Is the “Premiun standard” optically adapted to the aluminium center console … looks almost as if something has been forgotten … What is this for a multi-pole plug before / next to the lever to open the engine compartment ?It seems to be very unprotected without the appropriate cover / lid … so whether a cover has been forgotten. Is this in general with all V50s so or only with the exhibition piece of my dealer ?

  • Windscreen wiper purchase/change

    Who has changed the wipers at the front ? How expensive was it ? Where was it done or bought ? I would need new ones, but it is always warned of the costs at the Volvo dealer. Very good quality would be important to me, then rather more expensive. Thank you for your information 🙂

  • Different thought 🙂 V70 T5 craft object

    Hello dear lovers, have seen a V70 T5 Bj 98 the day before yesterday. Today I looked a little more closely and would like to do the part to me. Is nevertheless a little more space than in the C70 . Now to the facts: the part is quite rocked down and accordingly there is a lot to do. The car stood about 2 years and blows something out of the exhaust. Brakes around must be renewed, shock absorbers are due, axle bearing rear, timing belt should be made, low oil outlet from the valve cover seal, switch for window lifter behind quite defective (the in the driver’s door), leather seats are completely finished (should be long-term eh fabric seats pure). Various scratches and small bumps, hood lock left hangs. ABS lamp burns (probably sensor according to the owner’s statement; KFZ master) Equipment: Navi from Volvo (without CD) Climate automatic, stand heater, window lifter round, glass sliding roof, and the other standard equipment like Popotoaster… switching gear 230,000 km 2 engine jumps easily and can’t be the next stage?

  • Belt straps at the rear too? Volvo 850

    moin, I stumbled over an info that many cars don’t have a belt strap at the back and so the passengers drive insecure at the back than the front. So I’m not talking about these things that stop the belt when you jerk at it, but these parts that suddenly shorten / tighten the belt in the event of a crash. Now I’m wondering, since when does it exist and does the Volvo have it in the back, if it has any at all.

  • V70 – Sliding roof no longer goes backwards

    Until the night before yesterday evening my glass-slide canopy still worked perfectly. No problems. Yesterday morning I wanted to drive it back – so completely open …. just tilts down in the back, but doesn’t drive back. I can also close it again, i.e. it goes up in the back and is closed again correctly. Also I can lift it up in the back and close it again. ….. just doesn’t want to drive back. Someone’s idea of what the spirit has given up?

  • c30 buy used diesel?

    Hello dear forum, since I have to pull off a lot of km in the next time (working way) I am looking for a new car at the moment. originally I wanted to buy nen golf 5 diesel, but really everyone drives it… and since I saw the c30 for the first time, I’m really impressed with the design – and it’s also individual… but now to my actual question: I plan to buy a c30 (2.0d) used, because I can’t afford a new one for monentan 🙁 this should be: – max. 45.000km – climate automatic – cd player with aux-in – multifunction steering wheel – alus would also be quite good – tempomat – e-window – and the usual krims-krams halt… I don’t want to spend more than 16.000€ – of course less…. is the c30 2.0d long-lived enough? rides in the year about 30tkm to 85% autobahn…. is there any weak where you should pay attention to a vehicle?

  • RTI upgrade by 3000 euros???

    Dear Community, I ask myself after a week with the Garmin Nüvi 360 (which should be one of the best external Navis) if I should not invest the well 3000 Euro and have an RTI retrofitted. Professionally I need the Navi about 1-2x per week. After I first had an integrated Navi with my Z4 I am spoiled a bit above all: – if I drive into longer tunnels no external Navi continue to count, but always “…no reception…” – after I drive out of my garage (with tunnels about 1-2 minutes) it takes about 3 minutes until Garmin locates itself – no TMC (involving traffic messages…) – If I have switched on the radio, let me navigate and at the same time the phone people because we are hectic, if the systems are not coordinated with each other. After I have now for a week my xc90, almost 1000 km drive, this has happened to me already 3-4 times. If I have built in RTI, this would be a little coordinated So dear Community is worth it to your RTI to equip me with your Regardi?
