Hello together, 3 years ago it started. The starter didn’t start. The magnet switch clacked. But more than that. A slight blow with hammer and rod helped then always. Until recently this maybe only occurred every 6 months. But then also beats did not help any more. Then I changed the starter. Was a new part from the Internet. However, it cost only 69 EUR. It then also had a month perfectly funtioned. But now the same thing: magnetic switch clacks. Starter does not start. Only after several keys turn or not at all. But then a knocker helps again. I have already replaced the starter relay, recharged the battery once, and checked the contacts of the battery, the starter and the crowd. All in order. Did I now catch a cheap starter, who gives up his mind already after a month or do you have any other ideas? Many greetings Ingo Klever PS: Since it is a turbo, unfortunately the starter is not so easy to change.

Hello people, since the retrofitting of Xenon is too expensive, I would like to use other means to get more light out of my V70 (the present one is really a little too weak for night trips). My idea: Nightbreaker build up. Problem: They break quickly (especially if you drive with light during the day). My idea: retrofit day running light to save the sensitive nightbreaker (I would only need it for the darkness). Of course day running light also costs money and the Umkau costs time. Therefore, the question is whether the effort is worth it at all, or whether you simply buy 1-2 times a year the particularly bright illuminants. What would you do? Greetings of the Swede

Hello, yesterday my V70 P26 (VFL from 2004, 2.5T with 209 hp) came back from the timing belt change and a few other repairs on the front axle and brake renewal… After a few kilometers of display “little coolant, safely stop”. Yesterday filled up accordingly and then drove in the sum of about 80 km. Today morning pure in’s car and same error message, coolant at minimum. 🙁 refilled but MKL remains on, no further information is visible in the display. I could not check whether coolers are leaking, as the parking area was all around wet due to permanent rain. Have autotechnically “2 left hands and only thumbs on it”, so I depend on the workshop.

Hello, my XC90 slowly worries me. He’s cracked the 200 tkm mark tonight, that’s a nice thing, unfortunately he has a seemingly insoluble problem. He can conjure coolant away!! That’s what follows. For about 2 years and now 60 Tkm cool water disappears! Performed work and search: First checked for external leaks and searched for Mitllerweil 8 times. A one-week stay at Volvo for diagnosis, with co test and leak test! WITHOUT success. There it was still so that you have filled up about every 6 to 9 weeks from Min on Max. Meanwhile I do this every Sunday. Daily driving distance 60 to 80 km. Heat exchanger in the interior area has no leakage that one could see or feel, the heater I have a week ago with a lot of fluffy egg through the distant fog light cannon? I still have a good idea to wear out this out. Unfortunately still disappears cool water. Kien slimm in the oil, no oil in the water. So CO test did not have to have the cool water here.
