  • Volvo 850 Preheating Fuel hose

    Moin, I have a problem, and I have installed a Webasto Thermo Top C heater in my 96er 850. Almost everything is ok, only the fuel supply does not work. The dosing pump pumps no fuel for the stationary heating. I have installed the fuel dosing pump as far back as possible after the Webasto instruction (under the vehicle next to the petrol filter). I get the petrol for the dosing pump with the help of a T-piece from the fuel return line, which runs parallel to the supply line. In a test run before installation everything worked out. Did the system ventilate, the two connecting wires swapped and even the pump turned around test by test. Without success. Does the return line possibly have a check valve? Did I accidentally catch the lead line? According to my knowledge, the petrol filter is in the lead and therefore I took the other line. Who has experience with the stationary heating (or another one in which the gasoline also has a pump for the pump). SH is promoted) and can give me tips for connecting the dosing pump? Thank you and thank you very much Ole

  • Change the back of the cathedral warehouse.

    Hello! At my Volvo 850 station wagon there’s a domed warehouse in the back. I’ve been looking for a lot of topics for a long time now, but unfortunately it’s never written exactly how the domed warehouse is connected to the body. Can someone please explain this to me? Or post an explosion drawing? I’ve read that you don’t even have to remove the damper in the back, but with a light load you can tension the spring. Is there a trick? Or should you do it with the spring tensioner. I’d like to try it myself, because it shouldn’t be very difficult at the back. I’m asking for an exact instruction. Should I change both domlags immediately? or wait until the 2nd is defective. Thank you already! Greeting Walter

  • Chassis VOLVO 850 (R)

    Hej since there are no more chassis parts for the 850R I will have to switch to alternatives The thing should be just as deep and doesn’t have to be really better from the performance than original, so no oilins or threads or so – good usable dampers/springs combination, which you can still get in a few years. What would you advise me to do there? Finally I buy 08/15 StandardSachs-damper and Eibachfeder in addition ?? Greeting

  • Engine doesn’t start anymore

    Hello, I have “restored” my engine in the last few weeks, so everything is back in. Now everything is back in, only unfortunately my car does not start. Light, turn signal, radio etc. work, if I turn the ignition key at level 3, the dipped light goes out but nothing happens, it does not clack from the starter. What I have already looked at is: – petrol pressure is there, pump works and fuel can be lit. -Zündsunken is neither at the spark plug nor directly behind the ignition coil. I changed the tip of the divider and the finger of the ignition distributor. – cabling is so far right, plugs all in it. Mass cables still look “good” – after each other I held the two thick plus cables directly to the pin on the starter but there nothing turned. -Zündschlüssele I also tried both -On the motor everything is mechanically ok, ignition times and so are also right. I have really little idea of electrics and don’t know where to start. elesen. Thanks for further ideas, actually I had to drive back to work before Monday, that was probably done.

  • Starter doesn’t want to start…

    Moin in the round, today a problem from my side: Volvo 850 T5-R EZ 09/1995 The starter turns nciht more. On strike – just like that. Before still “normal” and inconspicuously driving around with the car, shutting down and – zack – nothing works anymore… Ignition comes, all lamps in the AI, KS pump promotes, dipped light etc starts, idle control valve hums. If then you turn the SChlüssel further… …nothing turns no starter, but also the light does not get darker. kt trigger (i.e. Abblendlciht goes off, switches are unlit), but otherwise completely quiet. So ignition start switch renewed. OE Volvo – part virgin. No change. Starter removed and “brimmed” on the workbench – works. All conveyor belts checked – are impeccable. New battery installed, also nix. Multimeter fetched and started to measure: battery has full power, even under load (is a brand new VARTA) the value does not change even during the tried start process. nlasser arrives full voltage (“dickes red cable” Only on the plugged cable I have not been able to determine reasonable values. What voltage should be there during the start attempt? When it comes to current and voltage I am really a beginner, so I hope to get one or two target-oriented tips on this way. Parallel to this I look at the circuit diagrams, maybe I can still draw useful information there… Markus

  • Can you hear an ignition coil?

    Hello, my Volvo sometimes has problems with acceleration from the sliding mode. Sometimes it swallows itself. But this happens only sometimes and I have not managed to reproduce this condition safely until today. The only thing I know is that the swallower only comes when you want to accelerate either from the sliding mode or from very low speeds again. But as I said, not always. Now he should get new spark plugs. Ignition distributor, Fi When I was working in the engine room, I noticed a ticking sound. Sounds like a skipping spark. The sound source was searched for and found in the ignition coil. But you don’t see anything. Also not in the dark and not even when you let water mist pour over it. Now the real question: Can you hear the ignition coil at work or do you point to an isolation defect in the ignition coil? Unfortunately, the ignition cable is only 1 year old and clean. I’m not a barter right now, thank you for your help.

  • Backwater intrusion

    I’ve been doing something new for me since I was driving a car… I’ve always been driving a plastic stacking box with tools in the back left in the hold… About 2 weeks ago, when the sun was burning and I crawled in the box, file myself, which was there abundant (so 3-4cm) water in the box. Where the hell does that come from??? I had no explanation at all – not at all because the sun had been shining for days. Yesterday I put a box of beer in the back and look at my hold mat: wet ! And in de r box was soup again ! Where does that come from ? One might think that I forgot to close the flap and it rained in … or someone pours flowers in my car ? Everything dry in disguise, slices and sky ! At least I could not recognize anything eye-catching at first. And with the amount of water in the box the other day would have to be a more or less huge hole somewhere . Moreover it must come somehow from above – how else should it come into the box ? I don’t think it’s the sunroof. A) If I’d already wet the seats and B) the water is in the back … I don’t think it is / can be the sunroof. A) If I had already wet the seats and B) the water is in the back …

  • Volvo V70r AWD purchase advice

    Good day, this would be my first post on the forum. I am looking for a new Daly Driver to replace my V70I 2.5Tdi since now so slowly start problems everywhere. Now I have come across a Volvo V70R AWD with gas system and need your opinion. In short the data: Volvo V70R AWD Price: 7000€ Built:1999 297 000km Automatic Vialle LPG system Made of cylinder head, damper, transmission flushed, and Abs Block – concerns about the four-wheel drive since the Prob The question is I can get a construction site or run the whole thing reliably for the next 100 thousand. Repairs I can do everything myself only the four-wheel drive is new area for me. -because of the consumption would be no topic by the gas system -What do you have to consider when operating the engines ? Thank you for your opinion

  • C 70 T5 Gas conversion?

    Hello dear friends, I’m currently thinking about switching to Lpg Gas and would like to ask you about your experiences. Does this really hurt the engine? Lifetime cuts ect.? Power loss in how far… Can I travel? Cost point from the conversion? Maybe you could also recommend someone who is cheap and good at the same time. Excessive use of highway and inner city? What do you think about it? Unnecessary or advisable, I don’t drive sooo much and the work is also only 10 km away but the fuel prices and the still quite high consumption push a little the driving fun…

  • Dumpy bang at high speed

    Hello municipality, last night I gave my moose the spores in the gas operation (I know you shouldn’t) . At 180 / 190 km/h there was then a dull blow, along with short stalls of the drive . In addition, the whole led to increased pulse on my part (was really frightening ) . If I should describe the blow then, one forgive me , I would say that it sounded as if a cat or dog with the skull banged against the bumper . However , had I felt that the sound was rather directly below me. I couldn’t find any traces of a collision and besides that was already the second time that this happened. I then turned out the error codes today: A2 – no signal A3 – 111 A7 – no signal B1 – no signal B2 – 122 B5 – 111 B6 – no signal The other sockets in the Blinkbox are not occupied with my 2,5, 10v, 144PS Has anyone ever had this?
