  • Error reading in Leipzig (OBD II)

    Hello, is there someone in the Leipzig area who can read or delete my fault memory? OBD II in the center console. Unfortunately I can no longer connect with BrickDiag. A few years ago, I still did. I would drive a few km for it. Best regards

  • Ets lamp, heavy throttle valve

    Hello together, if I press my accelerator pedal beyond a certain point the ets lamp goes on and it goes into emergency mode. I have removed the throttle valve (electronic magneti marelli) and it makes noises from an opening of a few centimeters and has resistance. I think it will lie on the position sensor, right? I would like to exchange it. Does anyone know a good address where to order such a one? At Skandix there is apparently no matching one. Also via Google and at Ebay I find no suitable within the EU. Only in England which are offered for 130€ incl. import tax.

  • Volvo 850 (1996), 170hp gasoline, 220.000KM, 3000€

    Hello dear “Volvo” community, I have the opportunity to purchase the above combination. There was a previous owner (rentner).The following was made new and is occupied: – timing belts, water pump, rollers – oil and all filter changes – battery – brakes – crossbars and track rod The car has quite few external signs of wear. Nevertheless my question: too high price for mileage? Thank you for your advice Heinz

  • Purchase advice C70 Coupe

    Hello Together, would like to have some expert knowledge and advice about the C70 Coupe from you. Think of me instead of my boring (but good) Golf IV to buy a slightly more exciting car. Is there anyone of the comparisons to both vehicles? Seat comfort, adjustability steering wheel and feel-good factor. (Will you walk to the Volvo dealer on the next occasion, of course) I don’t need a fast car, more important to me is reliability, economy and comfort (want to stay with automatic) – which is the most recommended engine (petrol)? How do you judge the durability of the automatic and how is the fuel consumption? (Has someone values for constant 130km/h, 100km/h and 60km/h according to the onboard computer) What are the smallest possible tire sizes on the C70 Coupe? (My bags are (half) full but with preference to 🙂 ) Are there serious children’s disease, or can you buy any year of year? (Have already read that E-gas is even more negative) Would you like to read out error memory – does this for the golf itself? OBD or the forum does not exist?

  • 10 W40 instead of 5 W30?

    Moin an alle V70, 144PS, Automatik, JTG-Gas, 370TKM Since yesterday I have my daughter’s elk in the “care”. First of all there is an oil change. Since I drive my whole fleet with 10 W40, I would also like to oil the new one. For the sake of simplicity. My questions: 1) Do I have disadvantages if I go to 10 W40? 2) Is it enough to let off the old oil, change the filter and fill the new oil, or would you rinse again with a filling? In advance already thanks for the answers.

  • Chip Tuning V70 1 2.0l 126ps

    Hello, I’m thinking of buying a stage 1 chip tuning for my V70 2.0 with 126 hp. It would be 126 hp -> 138 hp and 170 Nm -> 187 Nm.https://www.turboperformance.de/…/2.0-10v-126PS Has anyone already tried this with the 2-litre engine? Doesn’t that bring anything or is it worth it? Best regards Albert

  • Sense of the auxiliary air pump / secondary air supply??

    Moinsen, it asks me a question: What is the purpose and purpose of the secondary air supply available in some Volvos? I don’t see it yet… Second question in the context: does a return to “without secondary air” result in a deterioration in any way? Is the sec-air captured and regulated by the engine STG? Background: on my AWD is a hose of this control (from the “valve” to the downpipe, directly behind the turbocharger to pump” completely porous and hardened, therefore broken. The new part arrived yesterday. A soft, supple hose. Logically, this, because hot exhaust air will be transported again in the future hard and porous. Therefore, I am looking to expand the entire stuff or upgrade to the exhaust preheating “before Bj 96″… But only if this does not cause any disadvantage. Unfortunately, have my laptop in the workshop and can therefore not be fitted to’s Vadis… Markus

  • The good one gives up his mind.

    Well, that’s probably it with my buddy. after more than 500000 kilometers the cylinder compression is gone. However, I don’t think in the least to put the loved ones on a junkyard, he really doesn’t deserve that. I think, if you drive with such a working animal many, many kilometers, much, a lot of heart blood and even more money, then suddenly a little more becomes out of a 22 year old car and you start to love it. Long speech, short sense, the engine is most likely to be according to my knowledge. nevertheless, have driven it again to the Volvo workshop to be sure, but those also mean that it is more like that. Yes… I plan to expand the old engine and replace it with a younger 20 V selected by Volvo. That will cost so around 1000€, but that’s really worth it. However, can I possibly even have a turbo engine installed? That would be pretty cool, as I think, but rather a dream, or? MfG Moritz Moritz

  • Short performance and a big thank you to you

    Dear Volvo friends, after having bought me a 850-successor who is facing new challenges, I have signed up for the forum. I have been reading here for several years and am thrilled how much expertise and tips have accumulated. SuFu is my friend The hottest tip I picked up here was the infamous petrol pump relay. The workshop had suggested to replace everything that has to do with ignition, including pump and ignition lock etc.. The bottom line was that it was solved for a Zwannie – but a hearty DANKESCHÖN to the experts and multi-scribers here! The old one would have been too much to do now. Have spent a while looking around after nem T5 – unfortunately it didn’t work or I found the prices called up. Maybe I’ll find another one when I’m still big again. For the new 2.5L 10Ver the overall condition has simply spoken. The last few years only in the summer, T5R-Frontschürze, the root tree, but I can’t find the old one again.

  • LED light source (brake, rear-view light) and watt information

    Hi, since I have already equipped the interior with LEDs, I would know that this is not allowed, at least the rear driving light would like to exchange for a really bright LED. (so that I can see something in the dark) Now the illuminant is a P21W (12V). Probably 4 watts. If I now use a high-priced, 30 Watt Cree LED with reflector cone…I wouldn’t want to try it alone from the Watt base at all. Heat, smorgasboring, fire… But I don’t want to use such a 5 Euro LED from the bay either, because the light yield was rather sad and at some point you noticed that the board slowly but surely also freaked out, because it always got very hot. Or the brake lights with a P21W LED…has someone tried something like that at you times? I have seen this time at a V70 II. You have then very clearly seen that the front man slows down. I thought that it was good… As told, to me that this (unfortunately) is not allowed. So I would like to ask myself.
