Hi have a problem which is not vehicle specific. But I have had very good experience with the Volvo forum although I have unfortunately no Volvo anymore I like to read about the V70 850 C70 & co. I like handling here far better than with the current vehicle forum where I am now. Ok enough liquorice rattled. I am looking for a solution long-term 20l canister convenient to pump into my vehicle. The DIY pumps for the drilling machine are unfortunately broken after 20l. My current thought is an old fuel pump that is normally in the tank or to be used next to it. I have not yet had any problems with tank and fuel pump and therefore do not know at all how these are constructed or whether it makes sense to use something like that. Or whether they suck in themselves or what the conveyance is like. That’s why here the question is whether it makes sense or what you find for alternatives. Alternatives I play with the thought of a special lid for my canisters z u build with a compressed air connection and a three-way faucet where I can put air in the canister and relax with the 3rd position again. Furthermore in this lid also a hose that goes from the canister floor to the tank, so that you can then carry the fuel with the overpressure. So with luck I blow up the canister with 8 bar and the shit injects me 80m into the height 🙂

Moin, at my V70 year of construction 98, the Velour seats in the seat are unfortunately torn at the seams. Does anyone have any experience in repairing or perhaps know about it? Greetings Kato61

Hi! At the moment I am moving a lot on the weekends with the 850 and a big trailer on the way and wanted to clean the car again the Lufi shortly before the tour on Friday (new 10/2023). The part was soaked, it had apparently, however, water through the thick hose of the secondary air pump coming from below up into the air filter box and the part soaked. It did not really rain a lot and the car was not in the washing system before ?! The Lufi was really drip-wet, fortunately nothing worse happened. Performance was felt significantly less there,clear,with a wet filter that no longer leaves much air. Has anyone ever had this before? I have now for the return journey removed the hose and sealed the Lufi box there. Greeting,Martin

I had to have my beautiful C70 2,4T towed today.I had noticed an oil smell during the motorway ride. Luckily there was a shopping center direct at the AB.I had a murky feeling and put myself in the lonesomest parking lot of the center and my idea was right.Under the car was an oil puddle and the way there I could also trace back 100 meters.The car was freshed yesterday without defects in a DEKRA station.There was no blue smoke and no W The oil loss is only with running engine and under the passenger side.Motor runs completely calm and last inspection was in February with all the drum and drum.For a defective seal comes too much oil to me.From above I have seen nothing and from below there is too little space, because the good one is a little deeper.I have to worry now, always there are 291t Km on the clock.I also drove without any problems on the towing trailer.

Where I’m working on the old load again: For some time now (1-2 years?) my tank watch no longer shows really full, although definitely is full. Say: Pointer stands max. on 65L and drops after some KM then quickly to 60L. Reserve indicator however comes suitable after approx. 55L consumption. What is that now again? No human has fumbled about it. And: since also for a while it smells in the moose for fuel, when I have filled. Sometimes violently, sometimes not so bad – but n ervig. I always only fill up to the “knack”. There is also nothing over or out … Tank ventilation ? I have never been there. Or what else ?

Moin, after changing the heating heat exchanger, I now have to remove the carpet and the insulation mat in the driver’s footroom, remove it and clean it or renew it. However, I can’t get out the base plate for the left foot. That was also not helpful:http://www.motor-talk.de/…/…carpet-remove-release-loesen-t4412271.html After that – is it enough if I release the front two screws from the seat – what about the airbag (BJ 98)? The spare part at Volvo costs about 90,- Euro and is probably only part of the mat. I just wanted to exchange a small part of the mat. Does someone have such a thing from a slaughter vehicle?

Dear Volvo friends, in advance: I have almost no idea about cars, but I don’t want to make any sense here, before I give my beloved V70 to the workshop and probably be pulled over the table by the friendly 😉 It’s a V70, year 1999 (he already has the newer engine in it), ran about 274,000 km, gasoline with 144 hp. I have been driving the car for 2.5 years. Since then, the ETS lamp has always been on after a few minutes, but according to the workshop no significant dr. osselklappenproblem. And this is the following problem, which occurred a little over 8 months ago, but since then not again until a few days ago. But now for it daily. And I notice during the ride, as it suddenly no longer pulls. Then the speed starts to fluctuate and goes up to approx. 3500 revolutions, without giving gas. This also remains in idle mode. I hold on the road edge, so the speed varies significantly between 700 and 1500. the MKL for the first time after that. If I leave the car for about 10 minutes, then the haunting is over and it purrs again. I suspect that at the moment it somehow draws wrong air or is somewhat jammed somewhere. I have already read about the possibility of a defective or dirty idle control. I would be happy if someone had further ideas so that I do not have to have to exchange all the parts in question in the workshop. That is the old one. thanks and warm greetings!

Hello together… I just noticed that the decorative strip on the passenger door has loosened something. Since it is in the front part, it is jammed and I can not open the door completely anymore. How is this bar fixed? With clips? How can I get it fixed again?! VG Bird

Hello all like-minded, I stayed yesterday with my Volvo C 70 convertible, 2.0 Turbo (120 kW), model year probably 1999, EZ. May/2000, hand switch, 256000 km. Suddenly different warning lights (light (display left), ABS, brakes, and at least one more (all in the display right). Shortly afterwards, while driving on the highway at about 120 km/h, the speedometer went to the lower stop (zero) and the rev counter at idle. the engine was still running. I was able to save myself to the standing track by a heavy transport convoy on the right lane. The engine was still running idle, but did not react to the accelerator pedal. After the ignition was switched off, the engine stopped running. ABS control unit was soldered in the past after occasionally the ABS and brake control light had been displayed. Cooling water in the housing of the thermostat was changed after the CO content was always too high. I mean to the above mentioned problems in the past to have read something in this forum. Unfortunately I can not find the suitable search words and the corresponding topics.

Volvo 850 144PS petrol 1996 Switchcar Hello, Elch Schwarmwissen asked. My Volvo always starts reliably, but if I let him run a while in the stand gas, after. about 2 to 5 minutes the standgas down and the engine goes off. If someone has a tip on what that might be. Thanks
