  • Engine control lights

    Bäähh. Now it seems that my elk has also come up. So far this has never been a topic. My sitting dog has called in. The following has happened: On Friday I had to get 400 km behind me. At km 395 suddenly the MKL lit up. On the surface there were no symptoms. But… I put the track behind me on gas. In the gas operation the elk also runs nicely smooth. However, I had the last time the subjective feeling that the passage is already quite sluggish. In the petrol operation the elk runs for a long time not quite smooth. However, I did not attach so much value to it, because I only need gasoline to start. Also with the idleness behavior the elk has its problems in the petrol operation. Driving and then decoupling means that it already needs a little bit, until the correct idle speed number has fed in. Since the jump of the MKL it also does not turn cleanly high in the petrol operation. Yesterday I turned out. Error code on A2: 2-3-1 I am quite happy to accept the problem.

  • Opelaner needs your opinion about 2 vehicles on the net

    Hello! I and/or we are looking for a new car. Currently we are on the road with a Vectra GTS as a family car which becomes more and more a problem because simply the place is missing. Family car goes differently 🙂 After VW T5, BMW E60/61 and Opel Omega I have now landed at the V70 I and need your help with two vehicles that I have found in the net: On the one hand: http://home.mobile.de/VE-TECS-CARS#des_185200306 and this: http://home.mobile.de/VE-TECS-CARS#des_174630346 The one has nice few kilometers down and the other the more appealing equipment for me. Then the difference 140 to 144hp. The 140 is probably a castrated 170hp engine and the 144 is rather the more robust older engine. Corrects me if I’m wrong….come out of the Opel shelf 🙂 Automatic is obliged-will no longer have a switchcar. Which one the car is more recommended to me?

  • Hand brake linings are loosened

    What I have read here from time to time has now come to me: the brake pads of the hand brake are detached from their base. This can be quickly fixed by replacement, but what happens if such a lining completely dissolves during the ride, I dare not imagine. I would now recommend everyone to take down the rear brake drums from time to time and look under them. How did I come to this? In the last few days I had twice the phenomenon that I had loosened the hand brake after parking, but still braked it as if something was blocked or the pads were stuck to the drum.

  • Bridging petrol pump relays

    evening, the petrol pump relay has the number 103 and is located behind the steering wheel. since I am supposed to bridge the thing, ask me 2 questions before I pull out: a) are there only 2 pins or do I have to guess which pins I have to bridge? the latter is rather uncool… and b) bripped, without relays, promotes the pump then exactly WHEN gasoline? ignition level 2? mfg

  • 850 sometimes doesn’t start or funny

    moin moin, my parents have a volvo 850 with the 5 cylinder. He still runs like one. But he has always had a macke. Sometimes he doesn’t start. he tries it, but then he only goes out and behaves as if he doesn’t want to ignite (or just wants to ignite wrongly). Then you turn the key back and then he usually jumps cleanly at the second attempt (just in the third or fourth try) as if nothing was going on. It is possible to mention that he sometimes has a fluctuating, falling speed at the ample. However, he still doesn’t have that long and not all the time. If he is really cold, sometimes a hydrostuttle falls out. However, I don’t know if he is from the inlet or out.

  • Is my Volvo still worth it?

    Hello, my old good loyal Volvo 850 is not so good together anymore. TÜV would have become too expensive for us. That’s why we bought a new car and want to “lose” the Volvo now. The basic data: Built. 95 Volvo 850 Combi 2.2 liter gasoline 225,000 km HU/AU just expired Condition: Outside already quite used up. Some rust spots. Inside still ok but also clearly used. To get through the TÜV we would have to plug in approx. Euro 1,500,- on wear parts (mainly joints and suspension). In addition, the front wheel has a thick crack since last week (approx. 20cm). In addition, it blows out quite violently in the back (for longer). Where would you put the value of the car?

  • cool water disappears, but temp remains normal

    HALLO COUNTRY. BEFORE A PAAR AGENCY COMED TO MY VOLVO, BEFORE YOU HAVE SOLD A V 70 2,5 turbo AWD. THE WHEN DIVERSE MENGEL WHEN ABER KLAR WAS.

  • Clamping roller of the injection pump defective, 2.5 TDI

    Servus people, And I have recently purchased a V70 with the 2.5 liter TDI engine. Was up to now also very satisfied with it. However, I stayed already 3 weeks ago 300 km from home. The engine went off and after about 5 min again, however with a huge smoke cloud, before he finally failed. Was then towed off and drove at night by train to home and could therefore not look at it exactly. The contract workshop that I got there has now changed for 350 Euronen the diesel filter to realize then that it is probably because the tensioning roller of the injection pump is defective. However, I have the nose now a little full of these monkeys. And since I am a relatively poor student, who loves this car, I would like to keep it in mind. Well to the question, is the repair itself, so the change of the tension pulley and the belt for the pump must still be done again? Have already changed the tooth strap from my golf 3 and that is also very good. I have to remember that the spanning picture is done on Sunday? And then the last thing to do.

  • Volvo 850: Engine temperature rises in traffic jam

    You loved ones I have been on the highway today with my Gustav (Bj. 96, 300′ km, 126hp 10V Automat). In traffic jam the engine temperature went up at once, from 3 o’clock to about 1:30 o’clock. From this point on the cooler used (or what I think it is), which makes the temperature again at 3 o’clock. This is so in 5min clock. When driving free then without problems, even no other topics, in the workshop recently no faults in the store. Problem I had already in November (also traffic jam). In April (also traffic jam) was funnyly nothing. Do I have to worry about it? Can I drive for a while?

  • Shock absorbers behind……

    Hello together, I wanted to change my rear shock absorbers today… Had then bought me at EBay a set, for my vehicle.. was given at least! Had then the old ones expanded today (because I thought that he hangs a bit and looks spongy… can step with the foot on my trailer clutch and push the vehicle down).. When they were out then I scared myself a little bit, because they were probably three times as thick as the new ones! Well I thought I probably won’t care… so the new gas pressure will fit in and I had a lower car in the back and in front I illuminated the stars… So again the old ones in and he is almost normal again! Are now my feathers in the eggmer or why does it hang with the new ones so incredibly deep??????? The old ones could not be pushed together by hand, the new ones already…. Can someone help me there vll. what has gone wrong??? LG
