  • Volvo 850 unlubricated

    Hello. I need a little help or my little angular Swedish friend needs help in order not to land in the catches of the nasty junk eaters… I had recently lent my car and the colleague came back with a stuttering, slurry and backside oil smeared cart, which I then had checked. Prognosis: Without oil or with too little oil driven. Thus hole in piston two. Remaining oil blown through exhaust. Supergau! I have the car. I don’t think that I could find a suitable and functioning engine at a fair price. Link: http://suchen.mobile.de/…/details.html?… I just put a little money in the car so that it runs reasonably and stays that way. And actually I’m not willing to give up the car so easily. Now the real question is: Does any of you have a suitable engine? Or does anyone know who who knows who? Beze I am grateful for any help. Greetings, Manni

  • Purchase advice 850s

    Hello, I’m looking for a fancy station wagon and I didn’t pass the 850s. I just like the car plus the durability of the Volvo itself. Now I’ve been looking for suitable vehicles on the net. Budget around the 2000 Euro, location Offenbach, and found the following:Http://www.autoscout24.de/Details.aspx?id=292991530 I’m aware that the cars can reach 500tkm and more with good care.

For your answers I already thank you and am happy about feedback, LG, Markus

    Moin moin, Are there any special features, tips and tricks when changing the discs and linings of the front axle? Does something absolutely have to be renewed? I changed the brakes at the Vectra B front and rear without any problems. Greeting from Hamburg

  • Problems with the approval of the gas plant

    Hello everybody, I’ve been registered in this forum for quite a while, but I’ve never written anything before, but I often get suggestions from different topics and found out that there are already some foxes on different levels. Now I have a problem with which no one could help me and therefore you are my last attempt. The following situation: I drive a Volvo V70-I Bi-Fuel Bj.2000 and I have to say that, “I love this car! I never let it down, I drive it professionally and privately it is cozy, sufficiently fast and economical. I presented it 2 times to the TÜV HU everything ok. At the presentation 2014 the colleague of the TÜV said “In your papers it is a natural gas car, but in reality it is an LPG vehicle, so there is no stamp, that has to be changed. So far so clear, so I in a gas workshop with the desire to solve the problem, left a day, paid about 350,00€. fprotokoll get. Driven to the registration office, shake your head! There are no entries for item 14. Proposal to change the information in the vehicle papers………….! I go back to the workshop. “You still need documents about the gas system-telephony with other workshop(which once installed this plant) Answer: New registration of this plant in Germany no longer possible, because no more registration. If already approved, then inventory protection. My inquiries have revealed: (All Volvo parts) Then it was imported to Germany in 2008 (probably by a rather dubious import company, not to be reached anymore) expert opinion on the registration in Germany – it is a gasoline company. In the registration, request with Volvo what kind of gas car is that because, in writing back according to the engine number a natural gas car, then registration „CNG-(My problem!) The attempt with Volvo the Unfortunately, clarifying the facts does not lead to any result, because with at least 50 calls at the customer service “please try again later! 2 emails 28.06.2016 Remembrance 13.07.2016, confirmation about the arrival of the mail, otherwise no reaction. So, now I don’t know any more! I have telephoned with all German previous owners, it was always an LPG vehicle! Maybe someone can give me a good advice how to get on with it?

  • Tank contents

    Hello together. Have the following problem: From full fuel to reserve I only refuel about 50 l after…. The tank should have 72 after all…. There is nothing to read on the tank. Is it possible that the tank is not original? On the other hand it must be the dealer??..? Thanks and L.G., Andreas.

  • A request to all members here

    I’ve noticed more often in recent times that instead of the marketplace, the forum is being “abused” here for offers and searches. every now and then this can happen, no question, but you should keep to it and post your requests in the right area, otherwise this will soon come to a second market place thanks to the treadboard riders and I don’t think that’s good and I don’t feel like it here either. I don’t know what the mods say about it or whether you’re interested in nic he immediately shifts without words. therefore please mine: stick to the requirements of the forum, in the past this also worked out. thank you so much

  • Stutters while accelerating, after a minute the spell is over

    My VOLVO (Bj. 99 /2.5 / 144 PS / B5252 S ) has 450 000 km down and normally runs like a Swiss movement. But since recently it mucks as if it had swallowed a machine gun. Also in the 2.3. and 4th gear. …..When I then drove about 1 min and glided constantly evenly, everything runs smoothly again. Until then I stop at some point. I usually drive car gas (ICOM LPG injection), but I immediately tested whether this happens with “normal operation” and see there, it’s like that! So no LPG effect!! I already tried the search function in this forum, but the “hot tip” was not there so far So I ask here again directly, if someone is familiar with my descriptions, or e r could think of what is behind it because of his experiences. a Saxon in Hesse

  • V70r I fwd as everyday car cost trap?

    Moin, I have the possibility to buy a switch FWD v70r. I don’t have a normal car and can repair small things but I’m out with bigger ones. What do you think it’s a big grave? I drive maybe 5000km a year and otherwise on something more modern e.g. I30 N (I know absolutely something else) is it really much higher cost-wise? My purchase price would be about 4000€ lower than such an I30n. I would pay for the V70r 14000 Euro. What do you think? Thank you
