Moin! I wanted to open a winter bike thread! Since I have three sets of winter tyres lying around in various dimensions and I need space I want to decide slowly. And besides I like to see pictures from other Volvos. So I have one series wheels in 15″ in 5-spoke optics, one set 17″ propus and one set 17″ steel rims. All together with good WR. pictures come this afternoon or tomorrow.. But how do you do it? I’m curious! Have a nice holiday and possibly long weekend!

MOIN! knows if the SC-805 RADIO with the golden “PREMIUM SOUND SYSTEM” logo is the predecessor of the radio WITHOUT logo or if the “PREMIUM” is the new version? …both radios are identical, right? thanks for the help! GRUSE, nils

Day together, if there was a topic like this, I’m sorry I didn’t find it. I got a 850 2.5-10V from mid-1995 a few days ago and it needs a little service now at a few corners. Among other things, the odometer doesn’t run anymore and the rear wiper has quit the service (should be known what you find in the net). In addition, a few other little things. Heck wiper is only second-ranking, it just comes off for the first time. Now to my questions: 1. Tacho, before I break up the whole dashboard, you can somehow recognize which tacho is installed from the outside, because there are different toothwheels for it? 2. Seat heating, there are current running plans for it? I have discovered under the driver’s seat two torn cables, colors red/white and red. The same thing on the side of the driver. 3. The original, retrofitted wayway lock with these code keys is still working for a lot of time. The LED in the control panel always flashes, regardless of ignition or similar. Unfortunately, the car was not able to use the key for the car?

Hello, after reading the forum for a long time and being an enthusiastic Volvo driver, I got a good idea about the convertible here. I bought a C70 convertible built in 2004. It’s a 2 Lt. engine with 163 hp. The exterior color is black, the interior is beige. Normal equipment with seat heating and automatic transmission. BBS rims with 225 rubbers. After reading the information here that the convertible is better with a Domstrebe it was ordered immediately after the purchase at friendly ” expensive “. Domstrebe is installed and see it drives much better. One is in contrast to my V70. The boxes are much better and the convertible is much deeper. Did it then buy a better sound system? If yes, how can I determine it. And can it be that I have a sports vehicle? How can I determine it? Nothing is registered in the letter and bill. MFG Sven

Hello, after a long time with a T5 I think about buying a V70 Metropolitan with 144 hp. Can you tell me your experiences about consumption/height, but with a brisk but not brute ride. (Does he actually need super or normal) I thank you in advance, Belsantos

I wouldn’t have had such a head for it, or would know it more precisely if I hadn’t had HU/AU at the beginning of the year. I didn’t happen to have the necessary reps in the workshop. I don’t know that the examiner even looked at the gas system, let alone the tank (I had the whole trunk full of bumps). The friendly said recently, that must be absolutely necessary. At the TÜV/DEKRA I still did not ask, because I simply didn’t come to it during the day. So far I haven’t really thought about it, but somewhere I read something about CAP and GWP for gas tanks in vehicles recently in the shed. Often one reads that this has to be done every 2 years with HU, some write, that it is only necessary every 10 years (and then an exchange is cheaper), others think, with a new legislation that would be obsolete, …. and ten other opinions more. Or does this only apply to natural gas tanks? What is it true then?? Does someone really know what concrete gas system is installed in Italy?

Hello people, I have a flaming annoying squeaking noise behind the handshake while driving when I’m driving over floor waves of fan and glove compartment lids are definitely not. have I already pulled everything up and greased with the result “Gräusch still there”. the chirping could not be fixed even by scattering bird poison someone still has an idea? thank you

Hello you! So the following problem: I have a V70 diesel and in winter it doesn’t start any more! He has always had light start problems but now nothing more is going on! Battery completely new, pre-glow candles new etc… The mechanic also finds nothing special or says something different! Once the temperature sensor, which is also completely new, then it should be the lead light now… Vll. is it the starter motor! If I buy the parts now and then it is not that much money again! It sounds like when the battery is started rather like when the battery is empty, but that’s not so! I always let the car put on then it starts immediately! In summer this problem was not! Vll. has a similar problem and can help me otherwise I really have to give it away! Thanks lg mell

Last but not least, the brake didn’t completely resolve itself at the front left. I probably drove a few kilometers and didn’t notice that because the cruise control was in it – the engine didn’t seem to work, nor did I notice any other signs during the ride that the problem was there. However, at the first stop at a traffic light I noticed smoke. The brake disc really glowed, the brake pads were squeaking and stunk, even the rim was hot hot! Guess, I was just about to fly around the front of the car! I waited a little bit until everything cooled down and the car was up. The wheel turned slightly harder than normal, in the same way as with a broken wheel bearing. After I hit the brakes a few times with the wheel key, I drove on the brakes. 2-3x deliberately braked properly, then everything was again i.O…. The brakes as such are just 30000 km old and not particularly rusty or so… I didn’t look at all good? The problem was not quite what happened to me. ‘I’m sorry for a brake check.

Moin, I’m new here and I’d like to buy a Volvo. The place and its robustness have just convinced me. However, I would like to get some experience beforehand. Since I personally don’t know anyone who drives Volvo, I’ll ask here. I apologize for it before, should my questions have occurred 185 times in this forum I’ve now got a V70 2.0 gasoline engine with 126hp BJ 98 in mind. Here I’m about to test drive. I’ve already informed myself on various pages about the model and I’ve heard that it can come to problems with the light maschine. Has there been any experience there? In the TÜV report of the Volvo, the examiner has provided the following note: “Axle suspension rear wheel bushings pay attention”. Here you probably have to approach in the next time. What will this bring with it? I thank you already for the flood of information that will flood me immediately.
