Good morning! At my C70 there are tyres of the size 235-45R17 on it. According to the previous owner he bought the car (new) with this tyre size. The Volvo dealer says that this tyre size has existed ex factory. However, only at the so-called “Special Edition” for the 75th anniversary of Volvo. Of these cars only 15 were delivered in 2002. (Probably this number does not apply worldwide but only for Australia.) Now I just got four new tyres. Same size. e but rub at full impact inside the fender. It seems that they are minimally larger than the tires before. Now, of course, I could just put a thin metal plate under the (blue) plastic attacks on the crossbars to limit the impact. But I find it rather inelegant, especially since I fear that when the steering wheel is pressed strongly against the stop, the track bars could bend. In such cases, there is the original Volvo part 1021947 (Einsch The Skandix number is 271800. The mounting kit is in front of me, but it is completely unclear to me how and where the spacers should be installed. I can’t take it from the description at Skandix. The track rods have to be removed – or not? Has anyone ever installed this impact limiter set? How do I have to proceed? Thank you! Many greetings from Sydney Dieter

Ahoi. I have a problem with my V70 2.5 tdi BJ 98. The starter doesn’t turn. The ignition lock is inconspicuous. I bridged the starter relay and it jumps without mucking. Now it comes down: I already tried three spare relays but with no one he can start. What can this be? I did not measure the relays before and after, so I don’t know if they were broken after the start attempt. However, I don’t know how to do it. The safety of the ZV burns immediately after changing. The light switch in the driver’s door is without function. The driver’s door cracks very wretched when opening. I call this for the sake of completeness. Only in case it is somehow connected. Can anyone tell me what the problem could be? Moritz

Servus together! On the weekend my moose got caught, the lights for ABS and Tracs go sporadically on and off. Previously always accompanied by a Surren, sometimes from the back, sometimes from the front. Now I want to buy a used ECU, install and solder mine. What must I pay attention to? So far I only saw that there are ECUs up to ́95 without Tracs and then from ́96 with Tracs. Are there any other differences? What can such a used ECU cost? I have the choice between 30 and 300 euros in the bay. In the SuFu I have read across, there are also some instructions, but I have not found any answers to my questions. My moose is a ́96er 10V 144PS with Tracs… who has a functional or even revised module, can also offer it to me.

hello people, it’s about a volvoz 850 2.5l gasoline build year 95 wanted there the cylinder head seal changeln only I am not the volvo man but rather vw. a short instruction or important references ect would be great. thank you in advance DJ

My outdoor mirror glass is somehow loose. It sits indissolubly firmly in the mirror, but wobbles in all directions, especially on the highway by wind pressure the glass always adjusts. Adjust ( automatically by mini joystick) the mirror can only be adjusted in three directions: up, down and away from the car (so the view away from the car) The motor works towards the car, but the glass does not move. I always stuff a small piece of wood (stock, splitter whatever… ) between is a) very annoying and b) dangerous on the highway… Can I do something or how do I take out the mirror glass and look at the adjusting unit? (is a heatable mirror by the way)

Have a small problem with my handbrake and I have to adjust it roughly on the drums, since the screw on the lever is already completely turned in, it is written in the manual, which has to be rotated through the hole in the drum a adjuster until the disc can no longer be rotated and then back again 5 rests. In theory quite simply, but how does it work in practice, how can I find that the hole is in the correct position? Oh yes last September were v in a workshop the coverings changed, think they made a mistake when setting.

Hello, here forum newcomer. I have not found any clear answer to my question in another thread and can’t get any further: My shock absorbers on the rear axle are there, oil pressure. T55, 2.0 Bj 96. Now I find everywhere only gas pressure for the rear axle and also no hint that back oil pressure is standard or recommended. My autobastler (no Volvo specialist) that the Ar*** of my Volvo would be on the floor if he installed the with gas pressure that I order I also find only oil pressure dampers for front. What now? Bzw. can you make the gas pressure dampers suitable?! Questions at a high level 😉 Thank you for your help!

Hello moose driver, slowly I grit the giant. at my elk the washing machine does not function now. I fill the water pure, press the lever, you hear the pump, only water does not arrive at the windshield. instead, the water on the rear wheel, on the side where the tank is sitting, on the road. so, back in the trunk the clothing out and look, the white, thin hose has been cut out of the black, which sits in front of the filter direction rear window. no problem denk ic h, just back in and good. because, the pump works, but no nozzle comes water. I make the hose back again and suck on it. water comes out, so not blocked. it can’t be that ALL jets are suddenly clogged? and if so, how do you get it free again? even another stupid question, when I opened the back flap and put myself in the suitcase room, gave the car noticeably after. I sometimes so’n little up and down, then he started to swing n. the rear wheels have also moved a little bit, is’n automatic. is that a sign that the shock absorbers are over? while driving, however, I notice nothing. thank you for reading, greetings, Olli

Moin, I’m sorry, I have to bother you again. If links to Amazon,Ebay etc. are forbidden please delete mail. Thanks. 1. This reader:https://www.amazon.de/…/ref=ox_sfl_sfl_title_1?… should only be suitable for petrolmen from year 2001. I found this table:https://www.blafusel.de/obd/obd2_scanned.php?order=success#1388 According to this, it would also work with a 2.4 T Bj. 97. Does someone know something exact ? 2. Cleaning LMM: I found this Vid at YT:http s://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODYAX4qLSa0 Is this recommended ? Have read that the wires are very sensitive !? 3. Are these candles ok ?https://www.motointegrator.de/…/…ze-super-plus-bosch-0-242-235-749 If no, is there an inexpensive alternative ? Thank you !!! VG Christian

With my 8s the windows have been fogging very extreme for a few weeks. The windows can hardly be freed during the ride. I exclude heat exchangers, because this is only 3 years old and I have no cooling water loss. Water should not penetrate, that the footrooms are dry. The warm air from the heating is also extremely humid, almost like sauna. Therefore my assumption that the flow is dense and the water in the heating section collects. How is there at the single-use How can I check if it’s clogged? Not that I’m running all the soup in the car. Where’s the procedure coming out of the car? Greetings Holger
