  • Ground Zero Soundsystem

    Hello dear Volvo municipality, I wanted to ask if someone already has experience with the loudspeakers of Ground Zero, because my tweeters in the dashboard and one of the speakers and the rear doors are unfortunately defective and I am thinking about upgrading. I have thought about whether I take Koax speaker in front or whether that sound image changes too much. If someone already has experience with the loudspeakers of Ground Zero or has suggestions which I should rather buy I would be very happy about an answer.

  • Start problems 850 T5R, camshaft sensor?

    What do you need to do again? Patient: 850er T5R BJ. `95, LL 180.000km, timing belt made new problem: From time to time the guy just doesn’t want to start !!! You have to wait a little bit, try again, a little bit and then get really angry. Then suddenly he jumps on, as if nothing had been. Although he always needs some turns to ignite. But during the whole organ egg it never smells like ‘Sprit. So I changed the infamous Relay 103 (fuel pump) before. A few days was then also quiet. But unfortunately only a few days. Error message camshaft positioners. Have deleted errors, again everything was ok. Then the Lambdasonde went on (of course the light for the LS). Error message now: 1. Lambdasonde( front of the cat) and camshaft sensor broken. Or did I have to clear the errors again and Lambdasonde stays out. But car wanted to start again today only under protest. How should I take the most convenient approach? Can you clean the sensor? Can’t? The probe doesn’t?

  • Ignition capel isolation

    Moin together, the days I drove with my elch for a time on the autobahn “strack”. after a certain time people took the motor sign and the motor jerked when giving gas – one cylinder is gone, as it turned out. the nice man from the adac then switched 2 ignition coils and see as it ran again. errors deleted everything in butter. now my question: the insulation cable of the ignition plugs is porous and dropped, i.e. the ignition plug cables (I mean it was 2 each) are directly on the engine block. the nice one from the adac I mean should install a new cable for protection from heat, because probably due to the heat development it came to a short conclusion. at skandix z.b. there are heat hoses, are these suitable for this purpose?

  • Volvo V70 2.5 Automatic with 144 Ps

    Hello, I’ve become reasonable again, and just changed from Daimler to Volvo again. I’ve been driving the V70 as a diesel for quite some time, but not as a gasoline engine. Now I’ve got an offer for a 99’2.5 Benz. 144Ps with automatic and 230Tkm. The car is supposed to be in the garage, but I have no idea where I have to pay attention to it, except for the standard. Is the automatic something good? Are there technical highlights that I should pay attention to…. I’m grateful for every tip.

  • Help me think – sell 850?

    moin, I need a few shots. to the situation we are a 5 person family with dog (labrador size) and all 3 children need still a whole while child seats. we have a car with passenger airbag, so child seat on the passenger seat is not allowed. with 3 kids on the back bench dog and kiwa in the suitcase room the car is quite irritated, luggage for the holiday pure, equals tetris and the seat lift of the child is already somewhere annoying in the course, before all if you go from one business to the next and can do that 5 times. now I have the following ideas and can’t decide what is best/most sensible/favorable: – sell a car and buy a 8 to 9 seat bus, a diesel, you could also take someone with you. however, the bus probably costs more in maintenance, should also be an older used one again. finding one with green badge should be difficult and expensive. and basically driving we are relatively rare all together, usually only I drive with the children or my husband alone to work e.g. – keep a car/buy other cheaper combi and additionally buy a small car for my husband, would perhaps not be much more expensive than the bus, because the small car does not consume so much when my husband is driving to work with it. in holiday you could then drive with two cars if necessary. – keep a car, invest money again in a gasanl age to avoid the expensive sprite prices and additionally buy a monthly subscription for the bus/railway here in the circle and thus have a fixed amount of costs in addition to the car. would mean, however, that I have to rumgurk with the children with the publicis, if we want to go to the zoo (where we drive at least once a week in the summer). the month subscription would cost 130€ in the month for me and the large (the small numbers do not yet pay) and would then apply to the entire tariff area. Well, I can’t really decide what would be the most useful thing. if we were to keep the car it would probably be good to retrofit the children’s back seat, so you would also know a possible 4th child, only for luggage there is no more space. and I would like to have the airbag away, but I would need an amature board from a volvo without a driver’s airbag.

  • What rims? Titan or Columba?

    Hi guys, this time I don’t ask a question about a serious problem, but just an optical and taste question. I have 2 sets of rims to choose from for the summer, but I can’t quite decide which of the two I should buy new tires. It’s price-wise between the Columba (205/50 R16) and the Titan (205/45 R17) at the local tyre dealer about 20,- Euro per bike. Which rim would the forum drive? Please note that on the pictures still the rear impact ge and the side skirts are missing, so it also looks a bit weird Thanks for your opinion. mfg Frank

  • 850: Trouble and no end

    Hello, our car was fitted with a used automatic transmission at the Volvo partner this winter, after I was stranded with gear damage. Yesterday then the key experience: With every gear change there was no jerk, but blows, whereby the car shook under strong vibrations. That got better then with the time, but it did not disappear. After the work arrived at home, the same thing: stopped, driving stage R inserted, *Rums* and the car rüt If I should stay down again, the Volvo will finally fly out with us. Greetings 850 Limo

  • Motor Ruckelt

    hello, have the following problem: With my Volvo the engine is jerking, like small flammable shutters. it then pulls off shortly before three thousand turns. with me, however, it is in gas operation and in gasoline operation. my car is a volvo v70 with a day 300. the car has 228tkm and the gas system about 78tkm. where is it best to start looking for the error? many thanks in advance greeting carpeflexus

  • The wheel bearings are cheap because they cost a fortune ;-(

    I am now looking for reasonable, but also realistic in price – affordable wheel bearings.. What I have learned so far is hard to believe. How can it be that I should sheet 170 Euro for a VA wheel bearing. These are indeed from FAG, but it has to be even more cost-effective?! Or not? Are they first invented, then drawn and carved?. Greetings

  • 2 kl. problems. Or is that normal?

    Hi, when I start my C70 T5 automatic Bj98, the speed speeds up to about 1400 rpm. No matter if the engine is cold or warm. Time problem, which bothers me very much, after the start the blower motor turns on two times briefly. Have automatic climate control. Even if the slider, is stepless, is short right of zero. Is that normal? Greeting Mark
