And on the 3rd day immediately the first pan… The oil lamp flickers, then goes completely on. 3min later shortly before the house door it jerks and the car goes off. Has then also ruckelig until not at all started. Coolant in the container completely empty and from the oil filler it squirted out. Water filled up, car runs out. oil lamp. The question, the weigh do not go out after the car has no water anymore? I don’t understand it… Temp indicator was normal, oil level is also ti p top. Hope that doesn’t cause any consequential damage. Head gasket was first re-made in dezember and then the system was pulled off and everything was dense car is now in the workshop, down from the cooler package front it drips out somewhere below. But the question with the going out I still ask myself… Someone ne idea ?

Hello, I’m new here in the forum. Some know me from the polotreff. I bought a Volvo 850 as a limousine. EZ 12.92 Model year 93. Was thought as a cheap winter car, has now rather slipped into the category restoration Now to my question: As with almost all old cars were on the radio once again real pros! I bought the self help book for the 850 already. But from the schematics I don’t get quite smart. Volvo probably also has no system in the choice of its cable colors but rather a colorful mess…. On my car, the radio plug was cut off of course, but it still hangs on two cables that were not used. So I can reconstruct that. Doesn’t help me just because there are no adapters for it and the cable colors don’t match the colors in the schematics either. And then I would only have speakers in the dashboard. The speakers in the doors also have cables. h cut off and then extended to the radio. Why? I don’t know. What was cut off there? I don’t know. According to the schematic, even more cables would have to be on the plug that is missing. I got the radio, a SC-805 and the plugs with about 20cm cable from an S70 from the scrap. I go according to the cable colors match the colors of the cables on a plug with those of the speaker cable from the passenger footroom. But on the plug is still a thinner yellow-black This is not available in the car and not in the schematic. If I take the second plug and compare the cable colors with the plug that still hangs on two cables, I can connect everything except two cables. However, the cross-sections are partly different and the colors also slightly (other nuances). On the wire harness vehicle side a red and a white cable remain. On the plug from the S70 two green-brown cables. Does anyone have an idea of how to get this correctly to the photos of the chaos are attached. Questions about light width regulation better in your own topic? Thank you very much for your help! LG Axel

Evening moose community, I would be interested in why you drive Volvo, or more precisely, everything between 850 and C70 I. What do you like about your cars? I start with: Since December 2010 I have now a V70 BJ 97 and am very satisfied up to now. Before I drove a Passat 32B station wagon. What I just like is this angular shape and the “teacher image”. I can’t imagine that such a car comes too often into a traffic control. (Of course, always depending on the driving environment.) Eise, but I would call myself a relatively calm driver. ) Today there are hardly any manufacturers who so discreetly pack their more sporty motorizations or change nothing. On this point I can’t agree with my walking dune, but for normal swimming in road traffic it is enough. Speaking of walking dune, I get into the car and have work time, I don’t need to get home yet. A living room on 4 wheels. And what does it do? well the 5 ender sound of a passat 32B But that comes to you again as a hobby vehicle. Who knows. Now you come! Greetings Julian

Hello all, I came across two R-models on the search for a combination in Switzerland, once a V70 I and once a V70 II. In the V70 II forum I already asked, where I was advised not to use the R because I was too vulnerable to expensive defects (Stegrisse, Four-C chassis, angular gearbox etc.). Does this apply to the V70 R I as well or is the less susceptible to expensive defects? Four-C did not exist to my knowledge, for example, and the engine is also less exhausted (are these over All the same engines?). Thank you and greetings Olli

Hello Together I need a few tips or a guide to change my alternator. The controller is defective Delivers too much power The battery starts to cook!

Moin, have donated to my moose preheater , at 0 degrees outdoor temperature the small din it to 30 degrees cooling water temperature . Is a good , cheap heating , if you have a socket nearby , For about 30 teurons ne good thing . Thanks to the no longer available diesel heating however the interior blower can still be proramed and it is pleasantly warm in the moose after half an hour 🙂

Hello your Volvo specialist My Swede gives me sleepless nights at the moment !!! He doesn’t want to be sooo right anymore. The following scenario. He no longer jumps on , after several attempts with break goes again and if I’m lucky several weeks. The ADAC also had to help me and after the 2nd time help gave then also an error message that the key is broken. So car in workshop (free) with 2 second keys as encore . The good man has read out error and is also driven with second key without any problems ….. fine . So I want to get a car … to start off ….. does not start…. not sooo fine. So we tested bissel… Key A pure Start attempt = 0 ; switch on key B = goes motor off key out few minutes waited key B again star attempt= 0 , switch on key A = goes …. so engine back out key out again wait key A again start attempt = 0 ….. from time to time g If he doesn’t want to start, he won’t get petrol either. So it’s not the key and not the petrol pump and its relay all tested. According to mechanics most likely the electronic immobilizer? Do you have a divine advice? Achsoooo still some perhaps helpful data Volvo V70 1 Bjh: 1998 2l Turbo Italian model

Hello dear forum colleagues! After two elks (MJ97 & MJ 2000) came to me I would like to say “hello” in the 850s/V70s forum. It started with a colleague who helped out in a workshop and was called as a tow driver to an accident. After cared for V70 with “little” kilometers (250tkm) are rather rare I decided to take up the red V70 (2.5 10V) and bring it back to the road. That’s why the silver (2.4 20V 140PS) came by chance. 420tkm) which should serve as a spare part dispenser. Meanwhile, however, I noticed that a lot of the electronics has changed for the MJ 2000 – but from the sheet metal it should fit (d made?!). After I am also occasionally active in the V70 II I have already found a few nice colleagues again. Look forward to a nice time and nice exchange with you! Keep up to date… LG from the beautiful Mühlviertel/Oberösterreich! Christopher

With my V70 (MJ00, petrol) the air conditioning (automatic) has been broken for > 1 year now. Would like to change that. Climate ran during the purchase, also permanently, climate compressor is quite new (2018), when switching on the clutch does not attract (no clapping grainable) and under UV light a leak on the capacitor connection is to be seen. -> I therefore assume that it is only empty, due to the leak. I would exchange now: capacitor and dryer are both still original parts, exchange seems nic It’s so complicated and if I understand it correctly, I should change the dryer bottle anyway, if the plant was empty for so long. What else do I need of parts (in brackets the number from the sketch): So far so good. Or is there something missing? What more questions I have about: Thank you and greetings! Felix

Hello dear community, I’m new to talk and new to volvo. Consequences of the problem I have: I bought myself a volvo v70 10v automatic gasoline from 1998 with 213,000 km. The vehicle ran ahead, and a week after the purchase quite normal, then after I had a defective glare lamp and an electric wheelchair crane, including wiring, which was developed by the previous owner, appeared on the journey afterwards a very illogical problem for me. the light switched off, and a “loud” relay was to be heard, the car only jumped on again when I turned the light switch to 0 position. Then in the engine room it smelled a bit like unburnt petrol. The car also now only runs when the light switch stands at 0, as soon as I press a flasher, the light or a window lifter the car goes off and this loud relay (I found out it is the light relay) is to be heard with 3 circuits, just like it is who n I only turn on the ignition without starting the engine, then activate the light switch. In addition, the windscreen wiper moves whenever the problem arises. I suspect a mass error, however, don’t know how to find it if it is one and doubt if it makes sense to have a workshop measured for hours. Of course, it is my problem, but in addition, that the car in Switzerland is at my temporary workplace and will still be transferred to DE. would like to. I would exclude the lima, because the symptomatic is there even with not running motor. Does any of you know such a problem? Rejoice me about every answer/help/tip. Thank you in advance. Greeting tobi
