  • Engine control lights

    Hello Leude.. Had a ride to Hanover the other day.. Incl. passenger from Blabla Car.. When I picked up the first one from Cologne at once the engine control light lit up (see picture center) and was permanent.. On the back and back drive.. My screwdriver said that was not so dramatic, had to do with the engine control.. It might be that the moose has some other emission values, but I could continue driving… Then I also arrived again… I did not feel that the running behaviour of the engine, or at the consumption has changed.. Only the climate worked quite sporadic on the ride.. Sometimes yes, sometimes not… Does anyone have an idea what this could be.. Oh yes… It was a very hot day.. Thank you for tips or experience values… Greetings from the holiday, Stephan

  • Make wiper pot headlights run again

    Moin, in the washing machine the wiper arm was somehow pulled up by the headlight (driver side), probably already the motörchen was broken? Anyway, I tried to get it down by hand and by wiping… unfortunately without success. Did not know then to help me and pushed it down with force… Then gave a cracking sound of itself and that was then probably with the motörchen … I already looked how to get to the motörchen, but don’t see it… is the directly under the SW? If it is not too complicated I would like to fix it… otherwise I leave it easy, but would be a pity. Greeting Gagi

  • New wheel screws for winter wheels (steel rims)

    Hello! I have had my steel rims for the winter bikes of my Volvo V70I (2.4 Diesel) shine this year and have them re-coiled. Now they look new again and not so gammelig anymore But now I still have the old wheel screws, which are still completely rusty and gammelig. Question: If I want to replace them now, against something more chic new screws, what should I pay attention to? Should I just turn out a screw, measure the thread and its length and go to the search where there is such a thing, or can someone tell me an online dealer, where I can order the screws. Furthermore, with the two front wheels also lack this round cap in the middle of the wheel. Where can I get something like that? Thanks and VG godewind

  • A new one had to come

    Good evening Elk friends, I had to separate myself from my V70 thanks to a motor damage. I had become so accustomed to the car that I had to buy a new one. After a short search with a small budget it became a V70I 2.5 Metropolitan this time. The car stand at a used car dealer with the following defects: ABS and TRACS light permanently on. Felx tube from the CAT defective. The ABS/Tracs problem I partly fixed with the soldering of the contacts, however, both still does not work although the self-check runs without error. I will take over the flex tube from the old Volvo or. I will take over the whole exhaust system, because the sound so great Furthermore, if the speed indicator falls off when I make a full brake, it will not show me any data about consumption or similar. I don’t know how I will deal with this problem yet. I probably have read that the ABS problem and the Tacho failure should be related and it should be the ABS sensors, but I’m not sure.

  • Volvo 850 goes out. Don’t start

    Hello dear Schraubergemeinde Volvo 850 Kombi 2.0l 126PS 93kW Built 04.1996 Gasoline I drove out of the place and, as usual, let it roll down 1km. The engine went off, let itself start again after a few minutes. 5km to the purchase, half way back to the garden (where it is still standing), then he didn’t want to. The engine came up 3x for a second, then only the starter came to the click. Had I earlier with my 9er, the mechanic, which unfortunately no longer exists, changed a relay and was good. Where can I find the relay? The engine did not make a bitch until now. Sludge flushing/oil change/ Liqui Moly 1005 oil loss stop, last week. Who can help me and thank me in advance.

  • Fuel pump lifetime?

    Hello together As individuals may have read, I have re-examined my 850s again and with the help of @Zug_Spitzer also got the cruise control back in motion. So now everything is ready to drive in one week to the south of France. But now I have a question about the petrol pump. A friend of mine stayed last year on the holiday drive with a defective petrol pump. He drives a V70I T5, MJ I don’t know. In addition, the screwdriver, who prepared my 850s, told me that this was a relatively common damage. just in the area of my running performance (330Tkm). But here in the forum I have read more about defective relays than about defective pumps. How does this look like with the petrol pump itself? by the way, he has pushed a used spare pump into my hand for the holiday ride. For all cases. And also showed me how to replace the part. Doesn’t seem to be such a witchcraft. However, I’m not being in a screw. It seems to be the opening of the big ring to me. But I had to say something about the big twist. I had to say that I didn’t have to say something about it.

  • V70I TDI Control light motor electrics, power loss, no longer starts

    Good morning, My beloved Volvo is worried…… Days ago I noticed at the front left (direction) a funny clacking/grinding noise. A car master listened to that, first gave a warning about valves etc. Then I sporadically noticed a very slight jerking during the ride. Suddenly in the morning, he jumped after felt hundreds of attempts, even with a lot of blue out of the exhaust. On the way to the “workshop” (garage) I had to refuel. After that he ran only with strong power loss. This cracking was quite penetrating. Anyway, I felt that. Still something to the timing belt, he had some time, but had decided to change it. I was also told by the car master that this noise did not come from there. I also have to mention that the control light engine electric lights. That she did sporadically also, after my feeling was especially fond of humid weather. I would be grateful for how I can start the error search. I don’t have a diagnostic device available. Thank you and greeting.

  • Gear cable complete or sockets for gear cable VOLVO V70 I, year 1999, manual transmission

    Have found some posts about search function, which are already a few years old. Since the rubber bushings of my gear cable play, have cracks and switching is no longer a real pleasure, I was in the net looking for a complete gear cable for my VOLVO V70 I, year 1999, 106 KW, manual gear M56. (gear oil original plus LM supplement have already been changed). Unfortunately without success, is probably nowhere offered. (SKANDIX, ALBERT, ….) If yet ….. who, where????? Other alternative, as some have already done to replace the bushings. Rotated PU bushings or brass bushings unfortunately have no turner at hand. Had also read about exchange for ball bearings, I found not bad and inexpensive, but was for another model. The used gear ropes from the bay all look worse than mine. Has someone a solution, drawing with measures to rotate or a reference source for suitable bushings for me. I am grateful for everything.

  • Has someone a schematic of a V70 2,4T Bj.99 Mod.00

    Hy. Does anyone have a schematic of a V70 2,4T Bj.99 Mod.00 ? I would have to know the endpoints of the wires that go away from the LMM to be able to measure the wires ! Problem, bad exhaust gas values (all parts new) and if you pull off the plug, he has the best values (better than a new car). I also get the error code again and again, which reports this to itself. Only if you look at the wire harness, how it disappears in the cable channel, is wrapped with other strands ect. I do not start this for the time being to tear up…. better check the passage ect. Funny is that the car runs itself dreamlike and here (except the bad exhaust gas values) no problem can be felt, not. First thank you lg Jerry
