Hello together…On my elk the interior lighting flickers. I noticed it first on the BC lighting, but also the other lamps flicker. Also on the dipped light you can see it. The Lima was changed a year ago. On the battery it is rather not, they had changed for another. The “battery cables” were also changed about 2 years ago. The light switch and the “dimming switch” we also changed through. The Lima produces 14,2 volts and came from Skandix. Someone an idea about what that could be? Currently also my rear flap lock spins, but it can hardly lie on that. I change this now on the WE for a used…

Good evening all together, My V70 unfortunately already has the no longer available cast manifold parts No. 31216153 . The flex tube is welded on my cat. On the 1st cylinder the manifold has a visible crack… Unfortunately I have the problem that there is no new one here. Not original and not as a replica. Now I thought to myself: – Buy the sheet manifold with welded flex tube and separate the old flex tube from the cat. – Buy a new flex tube individually to separate the flange from this flex tube and weld to the old cat. (Picture 2) So I would have “refurbished” my crumb without paying the ridiculous 1500€ at Skandix. What do you think of this idea? Maybe someone still had a more simple or different approach, with a torn casting manifold

Who of you has the problem when it rained, that after the departure it stinks out of the ventilation for a time modrig/muffled? (climate off) I’ve actually had the problem since always…. Also my spring cleaning did not help…. All dirt under the cover removed. A drain freed (all 4 drains are free). Before I tried it once with activated carbon filter but did not do anything. My guess is that the rain from the windshield runs under the bar of the windshield on the filter (set red circled on the picture). I don’t have such a sealing impression. Had it taken off to clean the disc there too sometimes. Wouldn’t it be possible? I was sure but somewhere I had read exactly of this problem that it runs on the filter there.

Hello, I drive a Volvo 850 (BJ 1996) in which years ago a gas system was installed. For some time now he is having problems after starting. The MKL (Bello) starts, already after a few hundred meters he loses power briefly. If the engine is switched off and again the power loss is gone, Bello remains however. After two to three days it then starts to jerk on during the ride or swallows itself constantly. Since I had the gas system suspected, I checked it and the injectors re-set up, vacuum hose check, as well as the spark plugs have changed. At first everything was good. Also the engine purred again like kittens and did not listen any more like an old moped. After about 14 days the MKL went on again and everything started from the front. Then I had the lamda probe replaced, a new ignition coil should be installed again and the throttle flap checked again. Everything again I good. After about 10 days again the same. In the moment I started the battery again and then it starts to have a few times before the MKL before the start and then it has a start again.

Hello together I have recently had the problem that my C70 only starts sporadically. T.T. starter of the engine and goes after 1-2 sec. again. After that I wait a moment and try it again and see there, it starts quite normal. It was also already that only the starter turned and the engine did not start at all. After that I pressed on the remote control open/close and after a few try it has started again. until now it has started: – antenna ring at the ignition lock (problem not fixed) – spare key same problem – new starter battery Otherwise the car runs perfectly What else could I do? Thank you very much!

Recently with the test kit with the question: May I drive full-year tyres of the dimension 195/65 R15 on my V70 MJ 99 106 kW 15 inch Antlia/Antila Felge? Answer: No, it is not in my list (he actually looked after). With 195/65 I let you fail, whether with SR, WR or GJR. Ok, so the type had failed with me. Although, in my tank cover as well as in the registration certificate is only 195/60 R15 86H. I don’t want to discuss the meaning or nonsense of the tyre size 195/65 here. My concern is: Has any of you experience with TÜV/DEKRA/KRÜS etc. regarding GJR in the dimension 195/65 R15? What do I have to submit there that I get these approved? Is the tyre release list from the power train Federal Office www.motor-talk.de/forum/aktion/attachment.html?attachmentId=7509?

Hello, I have just looked through some forum entries, but I can’t find a solution for my problem. Therefore this new entry. My problem: When I start the car it will get quite normal warm during the ride. The temperature indicator is as always horizontal. After about 10-30 minutes the temperature indicator falls to zero at once and does not go up. Before about 1000 km the thermostate housing, thermostate and the temperature sensor at the thermostate was renewed and up to now also had no problems. (supplements were from Skandix) If I lengthen the cooling hoses, these are as always. Via the cooling temperature sensor the fan (behind the cooler) is regulated, right? What can be defective, is there any relay? About your help I would be very grateful. Greeting Georg

Hey 🙂 Got something again. Did the wheelhouse shell take out yesterday and next to the belt disc which is no longer the best one, I still liked the engine bearing (see picture). Can it be that this knock/polter noise can cause? Maybe you can also recognize something there. Is that because I have a knock/polter especially in the left bends in unevenness. According to the workshop, cross steering, drive shaft, stabi, shock absorber and dome bearing is in order. What do you mean?

Unfortunately I have water in the elk….?? at first only in the footroom on the driver’s side….The heat exchanger was probably not, which is dry and cold water loss is not really detectable… Was then actually everything again dry, until I was in the wash road….really everything wet… Now the water is already under the driver’s seat….Footroom back left… A, B column and roof sky are also dry…. The large processes in the water box are also free…. Recently we had taken off the cover to replace the windscreen wiper engine… I felt the problem since then…. Can I do something wrong? At the cover on the driver’s side the “lip” went a bit off…the water that comes in then just had to run off… The water is by the way clear and tasteless…. Can this possibly come from below into the elk? Someone’s idea? Best regards Bird

Hello, last year I had my air conditioner filled. After a solved contact problem, it runs now as well. At least the compressor plugs in. However, it does not cool. In the interior a hissing is heard during operation. Otherwise nothing happens. According to the workshop the system is dense and the coolant quantity should also be correct. Can the evaporator be added so that there is no more air or there are other reasons? It is a manual system. Should one have been for retrofitting. The pressure switch is at the front of the cooler with this model. Also looks a bit puffed in overall.
