  • Urgent question about the timing belt installation !!!

    Hi, I had the timing belt renewed with my elk and now it makes shrill roaring noises. I was already in the workshop, which has disassembled everything again. The workshop was quite sure that it is due to the timing belt covering. After they have disassembled everything again to look at the coils and water pump, they didn’t know anything further, they all built up again and now the shrill roaring sound is still there, but probably less. Now they push it on the timing belt themselves. Can anyone explain how a timing belt alone can make noises? My other question would still be whether my Volvo is setting itself hydraulically, so the timing belt or if it has to be adjusted, someone knows that? Data about the Volvo in “My vehicles”. Thank you and greeting

  • Maintenance-friendliness V70 III

    I’ve been driving my Volvo V70 II for 2.5 years now. Overall, I’m super satisfied with the car, because there were only a few repairs and they were always done very well by myself. Reperature-friendliness is very important to me. With the V70 II, screws have never been totally screwed and I have rarely broken away any plastic part. I like many solutions such as the fixing of the door panels by means of reusable push pins. But what bothers me very much about the car is the huge turning circle as well as the high seating position or the low front window. So I don’t hit the sky with my 1.9m head for a long time, but the view outside is very limited, so I always have to bow down to traffic lights. Therefore I wanted to look at the successor V70 III times. I’ve already read a lot about this, but I could hardly find any estimates about the maintenance-friendliness. How does it look like, can anyone tell me here whether he is as nicely maintenance-friendly as the V70 II or even difficult to repair?

  • XC70 just ordered!!!

    Hello together, I just ordered a new XC 70 (still in time for the price increase:-) And that’s: XC70 D5 185 PS summum (have much to and fro) manual gearbox saphierblack-metallic glass sliding roof RTI integrated phone side panes darkened switchable airbag front passenger side smoker package speed-dependent power steering What else is missing: trailer clutch winter wheels 4-c I saved myself, because during the test drive the XC did not “waggle like a cow ash” as written. Compared to my current car I could not see any negative sides on the chassis. Well, as satisfied as our BMW with sports suspension it is not on the road, but that is also another category of car. The BMW stuck last week in a snowweed and can only be “removed” with a trecker. I hope that I can play the trecker in the future:-) But I also have questions to you. How does it look like with the average consumption of fuel for my winter time?

  • Subwoofer box in trunk V 40

    Hello, I have something to install in the subwoofer box at the back right of the case room, the question is of course what is possible. both in the loud speaker boxes in the case room as well as in the subwoofer box there are no speakers installed….in the loud speaker boxes in the case room, however, there are cables laid. Have there successfully installed speakers. But what about the subwoofer box…How do I get the cables installed there at all? For what is this supposed to be. Have read there two sockets for 13cm speakers??? subwoofer installation is not possible??? should I take a subwoofer, first install an end stage, I still need a connection from the battery..is the one already installed…. Do I need an active subwoofer, i.e. subwoofer with built-in end stage, also an extra connection from the battery?

  • Blowers and climate strikes …

    … in advance, I have already searched, found a lot and done a lot of things. First of all, I put it together: First failure blower, I read a lot about the resistance from the blower and changed it to another “used” (belonging to the fact that my fan was standing here for about 14 days – without a connected battery – because the turning roller was stuck and I waited for the right part. After the battery was turned on again (and during the same time the blower resistance was changed), my fan purred again as usual. After a few days unfortunately again same suffering, fan dead on all stages, climate and air switch after start again friendly at the blinking. I then drove a strong cross channel out of carelessness quite violently over, though certainly hurt my car, but fans ran again – for 2 days, then old suffering :-(Short time later then again I will be looking again for a few hours – oh joy, blower and again away. After further reading, I have checked “again again” and then again Frust again without the whole C.

  • S40 – ABS – Hydaulic problem

    Good day together, now it also caught me…. this morning car turned on, and got message in BC…. (meaning) ABS maintenance necessary, along with the small yellow symbol with the hurling car…. Was then directly at the Volvo dealer and he read out that probably something with the ABS or the hydraulics is wrong…. a new hydraulic unit must probably a The fun should cost according to workshop 1900EUR incl. installation… – realistic? Someone en Tip, how you can solve this other way? MY 2008 – EZ 04/07 – 13.000 km

  • Child seat

    Just happened to dig up an old Threat, in which it was about the integrated child seats. So it’s probably that everyone with the number 02 at the beginning are not allowed anymore?? Then mine is no longer usable. Just over the built-in child seat I was so happy. According to the old Threat, however, there are probably approved ones that would fit? Probably with 03 at the beginning? Does anyone have something else?? The conversion should be easy… I would be happy if someone who can turn in a usable one would be able to contact me.

  • XC90 with Navi or not?

    Hello together, after a V40 and now a V70 I would like to order a new XC90 on Thursday. As far as motorization, color etc. I have set myself so far, the only problem is – do I now order the Navi with or not ? I actually know the majority of the travelled routes, on the other hand I wonder if it is not “standard” to equip a vehicle of this (price) class also with such a system, also with regard to a later resale value ? Often enough actually in case of cases also a mobile navigation system like tomtom & Co. How did you handle any tips and opinions ? Am there at the moment quite undecided …. Many greetings Marco

  • Zero decision

    Hello dear MT’ler You have helped me a lot in my search for the ideal motorization. Now I liked a decision. This has become a zero decision, that is I buy my today’s A6 from the leasing and wait until the manufacturers have improved quality and ergonomics. I had tested some vehicles (request combi, automat and 4×4): Mercedes E class combi: Lausige seats, Navi not adjustable according to my requirements, high price Audi A6: massively longer and wider than today’s, no more space, design fittings deteriorated, MMI not user-friendly, too many knobs and snaps. VW Passat 3.2 4 Motion: Interesting price with good equipment, oldt Navi (DVD terribly lame), and it’s just a VW 😉 Volvo V70, XC70, XC90: consistently rather outdated motorization or outdated combination with GT, best seat in the V70 (sports seat). Therefore, I have to see more of the navigation system at the border, in the XC90 Fata Morgana image on the windshield. Air conditioning is not comparable with Audi, built over the forum with little fun.

  • #2 in new Outift

    Now I have the automatic LPT-animal already more than half a year positive and it has me so far quite concerned with Rep’s. Is a lot of money for maintenance for the next 300 TKM flown in – but that had to be easy …. Like a ‘simple’ V70 it should not look like – then again a few toads have walked over and under the car. I simply wanted what otherwise does not have the mass ….. I absolutely wanted that ‘he looks different’ after many replacement and accessory parts organizations it was finally yesterday so far: Ne bumper from the R-AWD front turn, back dito. I had a duplex plant already over 30 years ago on my tuned beetle …. so must bubbert at least like a V6 – something warm as well as with a VB div. I didn’t think about the other optics-kram happening! Conclusion not only for me: GENIAL! …. But of course I really wanted to believe in the first place.
