  • “Snoring” when turning in strongly left

    Hello, would need your competent advice.. At my V70 I (Bj. 99 , 240 Tkm) I have noticed the following for a few days.. When I turn left I hear from the left front wheel a funny mechanical “knarzen”. It really comes to me with strong steering..with light this noise is not to be heard… Do you have an idea what this could be??? Cross handlebars, track rods have been renewed for the TÜV acceptance only 2-3 months ago.. Possible wheel bearings?!

  • Volvo 850 Ruckeln times different

    Hello everyone here! I have a Volvo 850 built in 1996 with B5254S engine. There is the following phenomenon. If I start the first time, then it starts completely normal and I can drive quite normally. But as soon as I put it out and want to continue for a short time, e.g. shopping, then it starts and goes out again immediately. The next start can then only take place with full throttle, whereby it cuts off half one and then turns up the engine with ach and noise. Then it goes quite normally on the usual idle run. If I then want to go off, it goes either with very careful gas or with full throttle. And that is only possible in all aisles and all speeds. So myself I would exclude the complete ignition system incl. candles, because otherwise the problem would certainly be already the first time. I swan now between oil trap, temperature encoder and the LMM. Since the oil trap is a bit fricky, I would be grateful here for every tip that takes me apart!

  • 850/V70 Gasoline: Who has the most km with the 1st engine?

    When I read the KM data here, I can’t get out of the astonishment anymore. I always thought that the 260,000 km of my 850 is already a very good result. But I often read something of over 300,000 km here. Is that actually normal with the 850? Even though I tell the acquaintances that my elk still has the 1st exhaust and even the shock absorbers are still the first, I only look in unbelieving faces. Also, I can’t find a rust, although the car is parked under a lantern from day one. I can’t imagine that I can get happy with another car again.

  • Volvo 850

    Tomorrow together! After a long time back and forth… My elk cow is registered again and makes the Teuteburger forest insecure. After almost a year sleep I renewed the battery yesterday, made oil change, new super gasoline in and started… Just nice as the elk spoke. Also runs quite normal, everything super so far, only what has been noticed, around the 2000 tours, say between 1,800 and 2,300 so around, the whole car vibrates. That goes from the steering wheel to the accelerator pedal and the whole rest of the car. Before or behind it runs absolutely calm and clean. And in the stand, whether on “D” or “P” the speed is constant, doesn’t slip, but the car shakes the same way. When you stand behind it sounds like a bubbling V8… It’s nice, but not original. The sitting dog has also driven along all the time. What can it be? Thank you.

  • Clutch slips?

    Tomorrow, oh you can’t stop it now. Yesterday after the training on the track when driving in in 4 pressed on it I notice how the rotary zal rises faster than the speed on 3900 tours (looks like at the machine) took away gas the threshing number at 3500 penned in 5 gear the same. From 4000 tours or under it I did not have that, the remaining gears do not show such a behavior, that is always nir from 3000 – 3600 revolutions. Has now come at once after I have changed the downpipe he has now perhaps too much power? Or can that be something else? the first video is in 5 gear the second has happened in 3 gear since nix

  • Pull off wheel bearings

    Moin municipality, now I am at my V70 year 1999 so far for the wheel bearing change front. Here in the forum stood, you need a 36 key Got the actually not needed or does that still come? Did yesterday the disc , saddle… taken out, now I have to remove somehow d. wheel bearing pot, but first push out the drive shaft, the question is: – do you need a puller or do you only do this with knocking? – you need later for the shaft still metal glue, can I take an x-anything? Thank you

  • Urgent question about the timing belt installation !!!

    Hi, I had the timing belt renewed with my elk and now it makes shrill roaring noises. I was already in the workshop, which has disassembled everything again. The workshop was quite sure that it is due to the timing belt covering. After they have disassembled everything again to look at the coils and water pump, they didn’t know anything further, they all built up again and now the shrill roaring sound is still there, but probably less. Now they push it on the timing belt themselves. Can anyone explain how a timing belt alone can make noises? My other question would still be whether my Volvo is setting itself hydraulically, so the timing belt or if it has to be adjusted, someone knows that? Data about the Volvo in “My vehicles”. Thank you and greeting

  • Child seat

    Just happened to dig up an old Threat, in which it was about the integrated child seats. So it’s probably that everyone with the number 02 at the beginning are not allowed anymore?? Then mine is no longer usable. Just over the built-in child seat I was so happy. According to the old Threat, however, there are probably approved ones that would fit? Probably with 03 at the beginning? Does anyone have something else?? The conversion should be easy… I would be happy if someone who can turn in a usable one would be able to contact me.

  • #2 in new Outift

    Now I have the automatic LPT-animal already more than half a year positive and it has me so far quite concerned with Rep’s. Is a lot of money for maintenance for the next 300 TKM flown in – but that had to be easy …. Like a ‘simple’ V70 it should not look like – then again a few toads have walked over and under the car. I simply wanted what otherwise does not have the mass ….. I absolutely wanted that ‘he looks different’ after many replacement and accessory parts organizations it was finally yesterday so far: Ne bumper from the R-AWD front turn, back dito. I had a duplex plant already over 30 years ago on my tuned beetle …. so must bubbert at least like a V6 – something warm as well as with a VB div. I didn’t think about the other optics-kram happening! Conclusion not only for me: GENIAL! …. But of course I really wanted to believe in the first place.

  • Screwdrivers wanted in Switzerland and Bavaria!!!

    Good evening dear community, have been the owner of a V70 1 built in 1997 2.5 10V 144 hp So now to my problem… Have problems with the ignition system as I suspect.. When I drive up under Last Berg the engine stutters more times less in warm condition.. Have replaced today the more badly patched hoses from the previous owner to the air filter box and the control unit against new ones. Result: gas acceptance more noticeable difference, but my problem with the stuttering under load at mountain on drives at 2000-3000 revolutions in the 2nd and 3rd gear has unfortunately not been spared.. I ask for help what can be the problem in your opinion.. Ignition plugs, distributor, ignition cable or the ignition coil ??? thank you in advance for your help.
