  • Timing belts, water pump, etc. – original or replica parts?

    Hello, I’m just a bit overwhelmed where I should buy which spare parts. Would like to change the days timing belts, water pump, head gasket, shaft seal etc. Price differences are already extreme, e.g. water pump original. Volvo 117,- (for Scandix) or house brand by 50,- or complete kit (dental belts, tensioning roller etc.) from Continental 127,- Which parts should you take original from Volvo which are sufficient in replica? Actually, I’m more for original, what can the Scandix home brands parts do? Would I be very pleased about info/tips. Thank you in advance.

  • Connect FB Central Locking

    Hello, with the hope that can help me jmd. of you, I have now joined me here in the forum round. So everyone a nice good Aben A good 6 weeks ago I did a V70/1 and am also very happy with the moose. Nerve does me however the FB of the ZV. If I have to stand directly in front of the driver’s door to open my car the goal is somehow missed. Now there are all kinds of accessory remote controls that are clamped up on the existing ZV and promise a higher wide range. And just such a product I have bought. A connection plan is only available that I know which cable colors from the new module to which of the existing ZV have to be assigned. Unfortunately I have not received any installation location or similar information. So now the question, has jmd. already a similar product retrofitted and can tell me where I come to the cable positions reasonably well? Perhaps you also have an idea where I can “hip” the little box? Hope it is someone among you who can help me, thanks already.

  • Gas pressure springs in tailgate

    Since 16 years I have been driving a 850-er Volvo combi (year 1995), which I bought at the age of two years and love very much. With the years I have already put a lot of money into it, like probably each of us in his beloved elk. Unfortunately, I can not screw it myself, but I have to have everything done in the workshop. There are still some repairs to do. Just the bill for the vacuum hose is in front of the intake manifold and a lot more. Now the gas pressure springs of the tail flap have finally given up the mind and the tail flap always to be stopped with the stick is also not the truth (if you load something bulky you get the couple for 112,— €/brutto. When you don’t mind yet the thing thunders on the head). However, since the O-parts 90,– €/kck cost now, I have asked at AET, because you get the couple for 112,– €/brutto. When I’ve found a qualitative network, I have also found a question about my company.

  • Caution with automatic transmission oil change

    Beware of automatic transmission oil change Hello guys, I thought a transmission oil change would do my V70 / I (year 1998 / 340.000 km) once good, now the transmission is over. I did it exactly as it is described in motor talk several times, nevertheless I need a new transmission now. Greetings recos1

  • Lighting Automatic air conditioning

    Hello, everybody, can someone tell me which light bulbs make the automatic climate control (rotator) light up again? How the unit is expanded is clear, but I would like to have bought new lights before I get the part out…. VG Bird

  • What do you think of this ad?

    It’s too late anyway, since now mine, but in a few previous topics I could see that you can read a lot out of the ads. Especially at 850 R purchase advice / opinion you could say super much about the ad and the car. Therefore I would be really interested now, what you can read out here, or if you have an opinion, why this ad went so long. Advertisement: Classifieds On mobile: mobile Thanks

  • Have air conditioning repaired or can they be broken?

    Over the winter, my air conditioning system has lost a lot of power. Well, what does it mean to be strong in power-which brings garnix more. 0,0. It wasn’t the best at the time of purchase, but it’s totally at the ar*** That didn’t bother me very much. After that, my first summer was with a car, I just got used to, like many others who don’t have a climate, simply roof windows on, side windows down, and enjoy driving wind. However, I’ve read an article about climate systems that worries me by chance. I’m just starting to assume that I lost my coolant, or that the coldener doesn’t circulate any more. In this article, the climate agent was smearing the climate compressor, and that the result is broken. Now to my question: 1. Do I have to worry that something is going wrong with the climate system, if I have to turn off the air conditioning system?

  • And another moose driver

    Moin! After meeting a few people here from the forum yesterday in Bad Bramstedt, I introduce myself now. My name: Martin Age: 40 married I have been living in Revenah near Apensen since the beginning of the year. That’s about 30km southwest of Hamburg. I’ve lived in Reutlingen for professional reasons for the last 3 years. Luckily I was able to move back to the north at the beginning of the year. For a real Nordmann, the Swabia is simply nothing I’ve been driving Volvo for 5 years now. My first was a 850-comb automatic with 170hp. 2 years ago a 850 2.0 Turbo with 211, or after a performance cure 256hp At the moment I drive a V70T-5 with approx. 275hp. I’m mainly on the RF-Forum (motorcycles) where I’m also active as a mod. In addition, a few of you also know the Volvo-Forum. I’m active under the Nick maddin. So, enough of me. I’m looking forward to a lively exchange and the one or the other help position (in whatever).
