  • Poltern with slow cornering and dynamic parking

    Well… I’m kind of a bit perplexed. Wouldn’t be so bad if it were just me… The following symptoms in the front construction: With a slow drive (30km/h) especially in curves, but also not quite as pronounced with a bad distance, my 10V. The car had already found/heard nothing in the workshop, but they had the car also on stage and the usual suspects such as crossbars and stabis are fine. But it’s still poltert. Recently I parked with a The steering wheel had a full impact. Whether my desperation I shook on the left wheel (hands on 10 and 2 o’clock) and had to find out that it had a game. In the case of easy parking and the same wheel position there is no game available. Did I find the mistake now and it is the drive shaft or do you think it could be something else?

  • extreme jerks, power loss…

    hello! short and kanpp explains: yesterday after work I got into the car, started it and drove off. when I was off the cobblestone, I noticed that he is extremely jerking and takes very bad gas. the whole thing still increased and felt as if he was going out immediately. at home first looked under the hood…air filter box completely removed, for better view, to see if a hose was loose… but I did not find a loose hose. at the I also exchanged the air and pollen filter at once. still made a test drive around the block, but problem remained…is also clear… so this morning I drove back to work with it. the problem was still there, but only half as bad. now I am looking forward to the holiday evening. we urgently need the car, because I have to bring our twins to the kindergarten, have to work and and… what’s going on?

  • Start of funding early

    It may be that a too early start of support has the following symptoms: -Motor starts cold immediately; no organ -no visible smoke -On a straight track immediately ready to drive. However, in the 50 km/h range (approx. 1700 rpm) easy jerking. After 2 minutes no more jerking there. -Already on a slight climb (1700 rpm range!!): standstill; car stuck tight. Must then be run in stand 1-2 minutes. After that it is climbable. -After warm start it needs “a second” too long until it rolls off.

  • U.S. floorlights, can the “normal” floorlight out?

    hi, I just bought from the pears and the matching socket (~18€) and want to install the cram afterwards. can I actually take out the normal standing light bulbs without the e.g. the glow thread watchman whining around? edit: I know, I know, not legal etc…the world has bigger problems I think mfg

  • Current costs 850 T-5R

    Oh my dears, I can’t get out of my head – so it’s supposed to be a T5R if I can bear the follow-up costs. Therefore my question to the community, which are moving a car like this + have to pay: – what does your 2.3 liter car consume on average – taxes – insurance / where insured Otherwise I can think windows are always down fast – automatic, lots of hp and quite heavy … but how are your experiences, a lot in the workshop or a reliable Companion – VOLVO just?! What else, there was the T5R with heating, or … who can possibly contribute to this a report of experience?

  • venturi gas plant at volvo 850 spins

    hello, I’ve got myself another elk, practically immediately with gas system, because such an elk is nevertheless very thirsty 🙂 only the car always goes off when I drive with gas… then the speeds go rapidly into the cellar and zack is all off… is a bit annoying if you always have to buy the expensive gasoline because the gas system doesn’t function properly… so the engine is a 2 liter with 211 ps and an automatic transmission, and the gas system is from venturi and front is a s chalter by tartarini.. also the gas tank indicator doesn’t work… maybe that’s still important… and if we’re already there, the controls need to be halved… so far I haven’t found anything for this motorization 🙂 I really hope you can help me here, I’m a little desperate… with gas systems I don’t really know…

  • Cylinder head disassembly/assembly

    Hello. Have a Volvo C70 2.0T 120Kw, which now has an engine damage. The 5th cylinder has no compression any more. Since the car has already 220tkm, I do not want to have the repair done in the workshop. At the moment a defective valve is suspected. Have still a similar engine lying around and would only want to change heads. Can someone give me a detailed instruction for this? Thanks Greeting Torsten

  • Oldschool car phone

    Moin moin, I have the following problem, have in my “new” 850 a 15-year-old Bosch car phone what I wanted to try to use now… …but, that doesn’t recognize my sim cards… I tried it with a 7-year-old Sim card, also worked well, recognized the sim, I had received but I didn’t make phone calls… right after I dialed, of course, I pressed the green button but the call didn’t even go out… someone knows about the din like out? can that be that I need a 15 year old GSM SIM? does someone still have an active SIM? say hello to the moose!
