Hello my good old moose tries to make me crazy I drive a 09/94 lw with climate autumatik two weeks ago the blower started to start and go out at medium setting, after switching off the engine then nothing more went on. Three days later it worked perfectly, after that again total failure when pressing the ignition one hears from time to time a plong from the against the blower. From time to time also flickering at the service line of the heater the light for circulating air or climate. Exchange of the blower resistance was unsuccessful. Can someone please help me?

Moin, I have the tiny problem that my AWD has a rusty KS line. This is missing from Volvo – so it’s no longer available, also not via classic-parts or otherwise. So now I’m there, where I wanted to be in 10 years’ time – when buying parts for a vintage car To throw the AWD on the scrap doesn’t come into question!!! So where do I get a suitable KS line now? That doesn’t even have to be OE Volvo, because of me also as a meter product and I bend it and then bang it myself. But where do you get such “small” lines with such thin wall thickness? Everything I could find so far moves around the 8, 10 or 12mm outer diameter with 1 or 2mm wall thickness. I can’t possibly bend that. Who has a tip where I can look around… Markus

Tach, girls, here I am again. I just made myself smart in WWW with regard to exhaust systems. Of course I also ended up with SKANDIX, who offer their home brand in addition to Volvo original parts for a much cheaper course. The question that now arises to me is this: Can the stuff with the original quality both in terms of passport accuracy, as well as with the quality at least starting at the beginning? Especially with the cracker, the tolerances can only be very small. The end pot costs original 60 flakes more, but certainly does not have to last even 15 years, just like my current one. Interesting would also be a sports exhaust system from SKANDIX from Kat for 199 stones. Acoustically appealing, but also durable? How are your experiences with such accessories? Is original really so much better that the extra investment is actually worth it?

Last week, the ABS block of my 94ers 850 (with Tracs) leaks – brake fluid exits from the ABS block. A new ABS block costs Skandix more than 110€ + a suitable control unit about 580€ (if mine does not fit) = much too much The Battle-850er, which I have the same ABS, but without Tracs. I have expanded this and brought to the workshop of my trust which the Rep has carried out (usually I screw myself, but: we remember and, I have a problem at the moment with my finger). The ABS with Tracs has 4 brake line connections, which without Tracs but only 3 I am before to the Volvo dealer and asked if the exchange would be possible at all. The latter shrugged with the shoulders and said that it would not work. Back to the workshop of trust and we went through which brake fluid line as to be changed, that it could work without Tracs (I was clear that after the rep. – if it is possible at all – the ABS lamp burns in AI. In short: The workshop it actually managed to change the picture of the ABS line without using the big line.

Hello everyone, tomorrow it’s finally time, I can pick up my new/old, oh no matter, just MY Volvo. When I looked around Mobile.de for a new car, I fell in love with a black V70. That was on 10.09.2012, then bought it for 850.-Euros. The first car which is really rust-free. Obviously, only that the timing belt had to be made, which had according to stickers and overcalculated then already 180tKm on it, therefore also no test drive was made to me too risky. I had the car picked up by trailer. And a few days later the call belt, timing belt incl. waPu, carrying joints, track rod heads, track rods, error codes were read out – without errors and new tires have to be made. Everything together 1360,-Euros. Tomorrow it’s finally time, and I can pick up my little one. Is a V70 I – 2.5 – 165 HP – 296tKM – registration 12/98 MJ99 in black – partial leather – photos will follow.

Hello together, today I looked at and bought the volvo, as described before. a very nice car which can be driven really great. you sit like with Oma on the couch in it. and the motor sound reminds already very much of the old audi 100 with 5 pots. now also comes my first problem, the salesman could not tell me how long the last tooth belt change is. to go on the safe way I want to make it new. but find no whole usable tooth belt set with water pump and all tension rollers with it. can you recommend me something, where I get the parts also fast. so it is all too uncertain to me… thanks already. gruß mika. p.s. pictures also follow…….prochen…

Hello, yesterday I allowed my V70 (99er T5, 190 tkm) times service. So oil change + filter and new spark plugs. When I was finished, after I started the engine, the engine control light… So I read out the error codes with the OBD2 : – P0445 Verdunst.-Emiss. Kontr.syst. Rinse-Contr.vent. Circuit Short circuit – P0245 Turbocharger Exhaust valve A too low – P0031 Lambdasonden Heating Control circuit low (Bank 1 Sensor 1) – P0037 Lambdasonden Heating Ko Ntroll circuit low (Bank 1 Sensor 2) After a test drive, I also noticed a power loss, especially in the area where the turbo would have to press. Otherwise, the engine sounds normal and runs nicely round, so that I can actually exclude a problem by the spark plug or oil change. Unfortunately, I can not make a connection between all the errors, and certainly not why they occur now after the service… For me it seems s o as if somewhere charging pressure is lost and therefore the signals at the Lambda are not right, but well, these are daring assumptions… Maybe someone can help me…

I have been driving a 97 V70 / 106kW for 4 years with the greatest satisfaction, without having had a single fault so far. In order to be able to ensure this condition myself in the future, I am looking for an exact service plan for this model. In the Volvo customer service checkbook the deadlines are not exactly listed (“… among other things the following works…” or “change fuel filters; the interval depends on the respective model…”.

Hello in the round Have a Volvo 850 bj 1994 2.5 20V engine is flat and is to be replaced. With my old is the flash box installed and he had the switch suction tube. Could get an engine from a 96er with OBD 2 and without switch suction tube… Has anyone had any experience whether this works or whether it becomes problematic? Best regards

Hy, now I would like to install a “new” original (Mitsubishi) turbocharger. MFD N0 49189-05200 All who have offered this so far then determined that they can not deliver after all. Do you have a serious source of supply? Thank you
