Hello together….. I had written about it before, but unfortunately we could not fix the defect yet…. My engine sometimes gets too hot in the “stop at go / traffic jam”…. Not always, but sometimes….. I visited the Black Forest myself yesterday and on the return trip there was again the problem… We could not find a Macke yesterday (so during the day) ….Doesn’t lose any cooling fluid, the fan starts from the cooler, the cooler works so far correctly….Errors were also not stored… Could it be that the fan or the associated relay has a Macke and now and then don’t start?! Do you have any ideas?! VG Bird

Hello people (weeds don’t go away) Before someone asks me why a confessing old elk driver is busy with something modern and potentially ugly like day driving lights: In Switzerland it is unfortunately mandatory to drive with dipped light during the day from 2014 – or just to mount day driving lights. Since I don’t want to buy new nightbreakers every few months (usually a real frequent driver), I am looking for day running lights, which can be mounted visually semi-adjustable to an edge. As a place of assembly, the recesses next to the fog lamps offer itself. Since the space conditions just on the right side where the tow hook is located are more than modest, I have not found a solution for the “normal” V70 rods yet, which will satisfy my aesthetic requirements. For #1 with the R-Stosbar I have decided to go back and forth again for those here. The grids of the R-Stosssbar are just a bit further ahead (togooks do not bother with the fixtures) and because they can’t be attached to it.

Hello dear forum members, I urgently need your help with an electrical problem. Vehicle: V70 Built. 1997 Gasoline Since yesterday my tank indicator and my rev indicator suddenly stop working. The service interval light flashes continuously. The onboard computer only displays time and outside temperature – switching to other information is not possible. The speedometer and the engine temperature indicator work. The engine runs flawlessly. Does any of you know these symptoms? Would be nice of you if you could help. BonoK

Hello dear Volvo community, first of all thank you for your many contributions in this forum that have already helped me with a few problems. However, my Swedes tank has a little problem for a few weeks, to which I have not found a solution in the forum so far. Vehicle data: Volvo 850 TDI First registration: 11/1996 Kilometer level: approx. 265,000 (about 38,000 of me) Automatic gearbox Sometimes when I switch off the car after a ride (short or long does not matter) and want to start again a few minutes later it doesn’t start. Fans, air conditioning, radio work when I turn the ignition key, only the engine doesn’t make a sound. Only when I open the hood and wait for good 10minutes it jumps on as if nothing had ever been done. Does any part of it take no heat, or is the starter vllt. over? I changed the contact plate from the ignition lock months ago after the great instructions from burfil. Thanks already for your answers!

Hello guys, I’ve been having problems starting my 20V for some time now. The usual suspects are renewed (candles, cables, distributor cap, fingers…) the petrol pump relay is soldered. If the engine is cold, it only starts after longer start and with a lot of gas, then it doesn’t start at increased speed and needs a little to run clean. Errors are not stored. Where do I start looking?

Hello, have a question, how will the charge pressure for the old 98 t5 regulate only over the control unit and solenoid valve that sits there at the air filter box with the one cable and the three hoses. if the solenoid valve should have a Becker how does the noticeable thing make itself felt? thank you in advance

But I didn’t have a good time to get a good time, but I didn’t have a good time to get a good time, I didn’t have a good time, I didn’t have a good time, I didn’t have a good time, I didn’t have a good time, I didn’t have a good time, I didn’t have a good time, I didn’t have a good time, I didn’t have a good time, I didn’t have a good time, I didn’t have a good time, I didn’t have a good time, I didn’t have a good time, I didn’t have a good time, I didn’t have a good time, I didn’t have a good time, I didn’t have a good time, I didn’t have a good time, I didn’t have a good time, I didn’t have a good time, I didn’t have a good time, I didn’t have a good time, I didn’t have a good time.

My car had a little bit of trouble: And it felt like half of the electronics had gone off… It started with the lights, like I started the car after work! I already noticed that both The Traction Controll and the ABS warning lamp lit. By pressing the traction switch did not turn off! When I looked at the speedometer for a short time, I noticed that also the one I didn’t look at so many times – therefore only later – I didn’t know if the speedometer at first was gone at all. After I read that some cars had to calculate the speed with the ABS-Fühler I didn’t care too much about it. A restart at the red light also got nothing, although the 2 control lights went out first and only at the start did not go on again! When I then turned in to the station – even if I had again had doubts, whether this was still up, but with 3 liters in the tank lt. Boardlight ^]-Did not mind that the Bäkho also went with the lights as well as the Bäkho did not get the same.

Hello first time, since I’m new here in the forum I introduce myself briefly. My name is Jan, ’87 year of construction and come from the vicinity of Bielefeld (JA there really is!) I play with the thought to buy a ’99 V70 with 198tkm from a notorious Volvo driver. Except the usual flaws (art leather partial equipment is the face and the usual signs of wear, brake is still enough for about 3/4 year) he stands there. To the detail questions : As soon as one activates the brake pedal lights up an orange warning light with a pear symbol, lights are all as far as I have seen this i.O. –> hint of bigger problem? In the rear passenger door should actually be a “position light”, this has been expanded because the permant lights –> door contact or even what bigger is it? The disguise trunk flap is loose, has to save something like that follows: ~8tkm 2.5lPS switch is not available in winter time.

My TDI (automatic) has been having annoying vibrations for quite some time in idle. This only occurs if I stand at the traffic light in stage D. Switch on N or give me only a little bit of gas, it is immediately gone. My guess was the two lower and the right engine bearings, which after 390,000 km could adjust their function. However, according to the workshop they are still in order. Now there should be a bearing next to the automatic transmission, which should lie sideways. That could be the cause. Someone knows this bearing and can tell me the position. In principle it would also be enough if I slightly increase the idle speed, but this is not possible. Greeting Holger
