Hello together, I drive a 95 Volvo 850 Kombi automatic with 2.4l engine and 144hp. On the highway it reaches just 180km/h top speed. That seems to me a bit modest, especially since it is also indicated in the letter with 195km/h. What can this be about? The air filter is ok. For your tips and help now thanks and best regards Leopold

I want to separate myself from one of my “T5R” and don’t know if I should sell or slaughter it as a whole. Is a 95er with, according to Tachostand, 320,000KM (no guarantee) ! New parts: Climate compressor Climate cooler Cooler Cylinder head gasket together with valve shaft seals and oil trap Timing belts together with water pump, tension roller and vibration damper Ignition plugs and filter Oil change Pendulum support Bearing reinforced, also on the spray wall is new Cross handlebars and cuffs have not been changed for a long time. Leather without holes ! Defects: Lack damage Climate does not switch gear hard Turbo needs a overhaul, engine squirts lightly at full gas heat exchanger (one smells) Think, in parts He could add approximately 2,000,— €, thinks you One would be willing to put the amount for the car as a whole on the table?

Moin, the convertible has recently become an interesting feature: It only starts sometimes! The porblem is as follows: When I start it orgelt either eternally or it goes off and off! In AI the MKL or oil and the arrow remain on. Battery is logical. The funny thing is, the car has absolutely no alarm system and yet the diode flashes on the dashboard like stupid when it happens. For me it sounds kind of suspiciously immobilized, doesn’t it? I am grateful for any idea and help, because right now this car sucks me massively!! Thank you Johnny Johnny

After some research here in the forum, I am pretty sure that my heat exchanger is leaking. Symptoms: white, odourless steam from the ventilation. Discs will not be free or fogged fast My foot mat is dry, I have no increased cooling water consumption. Today I looked more closely and took pictures. My request: Could you look at this and confirm the defect? I don’t want to change the heat exchanger if it is something else (quick coupling). On the pictures you might think that you see run-out cooling water, but only small, dry rindsale. I also read that you often have to pull a screw (which?) or change the O-rings. Is it worth the attempt? What do you think of the heat exchanger from Polar Parts (http://www.ebay.de/…/291795207624?…). Looks as if there are all the necessary seals there. When changing: Where should the cooling water hoses be glued off? In the engine room, directly before the quick coupling?

Hello, my vehicle: V70 L ,140hp. 2,5l, BJ:2000, vehicle IdentNr:YV1LW65F…… LPG For some time the car has been running out during the ride. It mainly happens when it is driven a longer distance. At first all the lamps flash, then it goes out and does not start. After 20 minutes you can start it again. The fuel pump relay has been replaced. It can not be because I drive on gas. A person at the tank said it could be a mistake in the control unit. The error memory says nothing. Does anyone have a tip? Greeting Jürgen

Hello together! While I was slowly slaughtering my old car accident, I also wanted to exchange the ugly peeled-off roof strips for the still intact of my old Volvo’s. When I had now removed the roof ring and everything in both cars, the usual picture: Lots of dirt underneath. So brush and water snatched and washed out everything. The surprise was great: Among them in my black 850 in the opposite places bad rust nests lurked. Also around the front window I found in some places. The story with the front window is still harmless. I can do that in the course of the anyway front window change. The rust nests between roof plate and side parts cause me more worry. How can I get rid of this permanently? Which rust converter can you recommend? I wanted to do the thing with a wire brush and the flex completely blank, several times prime, paint car body glue over it and then the whole gutter under the reeling with as tough carousy wax. Better ideas?

Dear community, Unfortunately, a window lifter has failed on my V70. The problem: the window is down. Did it go down, all good. 15min later it didn’t go up anymore. I suspect that it is on the switch, because it makes a somewhat “lazy” impression. Since I have little time, my priority is first of all the symptom treatment, i.e. windows up again. Therefore two questions: If it really is the switch, can I just pull off the plug and clamp it to another switch? And do I have to remove the whole door panel or can I take out the plastic shell individually? If yes, how? Thank you as always in advance, Chris

Hello, what is the difference between the normal T5’s and the Italo-T5? Except the displacement. I have both standing here and trying to get the Italo to run. It doesn’t ignite and I’ve already shipped the distributor, ignition coil, NWS and OT-gber from the normal T5 to the Italo. Has everything been right, didn’t help. Did you want to know whether you can even exchange the parts with each other? Thank you!

Moinsen… I’m a quite emotional and impulsive person… After having 2 new tires for today and having an axle measurement done (cars moved totally to the right before), I’m in my lucky state (cars ran straight ahead and braked as well) – right to the TÜV… They found a few little things… Tray joint re. defective… Brakes Vo uneven… OK, can I live with… BUT! First they said that my car has no fog lights… I Depp showed the idiot where the switch is… and promptly: mimimimi… they seem too deep… – considerable lack! Still? Can’t I just put them down… stick them down, pull switches off from the current? When I see what so-called “day driving lights” from the construction market so everything rolls on our streets (sliding, blinding, one side or just fucking ugly, then I could get excited… Greeting, Andi

as said on the return journey home, the engine ran at once restless, so not round,in the acceleration also loud exhaust noise.In the standing gas he shook himself from time to time lightly, then it was away,in the start of the journey again there??. No tool,so further,it was a modest ride,everytime when I started it seemed to me as if the engine wanted to go out and the exhaust noises louder than normal. Is it not possible to set off,bad acceleration and easy jerking. Arriving at home,I took off the lid,at first glance everything was normal.OK spark plugs changed,started with 1cylinder, looked very consumed, then the 4th cylinder when pulling off the plug I saw a verbrant spot on the plug also in the candle hole a fire place,through the ignition radio? (picture 1).By the way, I mean that it was not really fixed and a bit heavy in the thread. (picture 2) Candle full Oel,where? top everything was dry. After the candle change, and there is no plug on the cat?
