Moin moin, And I have the problem at the moment that if I drive my elk at operating temperature and then stop that my engine room starts to smoke and stink as if someone was grilling. And indeed I had an oil change a few weeks ago (for lack of time this time not made itself) and there it started already. They have washed with the oil and everything was full oil made everything clean with brake cleaner and drove 2 days,doert also everything went well. Well h This happens even if the engine is warm. The smell only occurs when the car is standing and the engine temperature is never over 90 degrees. I hope someone can help me further what it might be where I should look. Mfg

Hello together, GriasT eich ! Yannis is my name, I am 22 years old and I am away of love in 2011 moved from France to Germany (Munich near) I am currently driving my driver’s license and I am looking forward to my first car.Shortly after my first driving hours I wanted a 190 Mercedes as the first car (safe, comfortable and robust) but with safety like ABS or airbags I have unfortunately noticed that a 190 might be nothing Especially in me I could invest 2000 € to a maximum of 2500 € because I would like to start an apprenticeship soon Accordingly, I informed myself about other cars and then landed on Volvo.The cars seem to be robust and safe and with my bowdet I come easily to my desired car : No matter whether petrol or diesel, main thing : sedan with automatic transmission, ABS and (not or ) airbags, cheap with the insurance, enough horsepower and space for the in-laws if we are in the A usland Driving An example: http://suchen.mobile.de/…/187538088.html?… What do you think about my decision, do you think I could be satisfied with a Volvo What do I have to watch before I buy a Volvo (e.g. mileage) ? Same question for a smaller model like 440 or 460, it doesn’t have to be a 850er Thank you in the front house Yannis aka Captain

In my C70 I year 2002 I made an oil change of the automatic transmission. It switched off roughly when reversing and down. But all gears went in perfectly. Transmission is a 55-50 SN. This is how I went: 3 liters over drain screw drained 2 liters filled return run off from the oil cooler – motor tapped on and 1.5 liters off – 1.5 liters refilled the whole 3 x Then 2.5 liters filled up. This should be the previous amount back in. Transmission now switches butter soft, but unfortunately only up to the 2nd gear. When switching to the 3rd gear -> no force limit. Then I replenished about 600ML. Was then a little better, but with too much gas again idle. Then again 400 ML refilled. So it got worse again. So again 500ML drained. No improvement. I’m baffled. Does anyone have a solution?

Hello, I have been driving the same 850 for almost 17 years now and have now arrived at a little more than 600,000km. Except for usual repairs everything is ok. However, for years now I have had water / liquid in the footroom of the driver’s side. I simply can’t find a solution where this comes from. The following has already been done. – The wider roof rail installed and extra sealed – New windshield in 2023 – The heat exchanger does not come from – water box and processes n – Two blind plugs were missing on the underfloor, which were added about 2 months ago. Someone still had a tip? It is only in the area of the driver’s side and really only on the ground. You can’t see that it is running down somewhere, because everything is dry there. What I can add. I used to install the lateral bars of the V70 on the windscreen. The rubber at the top of the windscreen is loose, Volvo Werkstatt says that is so normal.

Hy, though, has a software / motorsport specialist at hand. He does my Volvo, but is not his hobby horse. That’s why I’m looking for someone specializing in the brand/motors. Who can be recommended here in Germany / Austria, which is also really serious. Maybe with test bench Some hardware has already been changed. Answers from unloved people are undesirable (meaning the various forums only contribute with nonsense, & to the actual topic nothing). Herzli thanks in advance! Jerry

Moose #2 drives like Grandma’s old sofa … Feels nice, but is still quite insecure. 2 shock absorbers are according to Dekra after the test ‘quickly’ over. The fast new one has to be clear – but what to take ? AHK is / does not come in, have already one in Elch #1, rear standard damper. Certainly rarely, that I will drive with a lot of cargo. It doesn’t have to be (more) soft, (stick-) Hard I don’t necessarily need it either. Drive like fast, but also fast – but have to be rally-suitable the dampers are not. Normal safe stop just. Here a little hit parade after the first price inspection in the bay: (damper without brand specification I have not rated) 159,- € – MEYLE (VA/HA gas) 243,. € – Sachs Touring (gas / oil) 309.- € – Monroe 314.- € – KYB (oil front, gas +10 €) 470,. € – KONI yellow Prices plus shipping costs – maybe there are here and there in the WWW possibly cheaper or certainly even more expensive. Meyle jumps into the eye with the price. Does that do what ? Does the already m al someone installed ? The Sachs is available at a provider to this really good course as I think. Are actually the standard installed ?! So why not again. What advantages / disadvantages do Monroe have ? Are there any Dito KYB at all. Koni I don’t necessarily have to be and depart from the price anyway, unless someone knows a very good source. Let’s hear !

Hello dear professional people. I am completely new in the forum and would like to have a question in the round. My good V70 has an oval end pot and buzzes powerfully in front of it. Now I happened to read at ebay-kleinanzeigen that only the 144 HP suction diesel has an oval end pot. Mine is a gasoline switch to LPG. The old moose makes quite a noise. So in my opinion not only the exhaust is very loud, but also the engine. The workshop has at least a defective engine bearing diag. But the main question is: Does the 144 Ps petrol engine actually have original other exhaust, or at least the end pot, makes sense or is it even necessary to replace it? Why do diesel and petrol engines have different silencers at all? I’m out of the age where a car has to roll around. As a comfortable travel car (and this is a V70 all the time) doesn’t have to make unnecessary noise… Thanks already and nice greetings, Johannes

Servus in the V70 Volvo round I listened to my son’s advice at the beginning of September and finally added a Volvo to me. It is a V70 T1 car with 142 KW engine and the first registration in April 1997 and proven running 317tsd. km. In the Volvo workshop of the seller I was confirmed that the car at 257 ts km got a belt change and a complete overhaul of the rear axle. He has always gone through the TÜV without any defects and has also another year Until the next examination. The defects that have not disturbed the previous owner I want to fix now gradually. These are : The air conditioning is without function The cruise control does not work The electrical adjustment of the exterior mirrors is broken, but as a new part with it and recently the passenger door has to be opened from the inside. So I immediately bought the repair instruction from Bucheli Verlag for the Volvo 850 and V70 for the model years 1994 to 2001. big, because although the newer V70 model is shown almost 90% only the 850 is explained and my V70 is not even mentioned in the motorization. Now I strongly hope that I am in good hands with you at the right address and that the one or the other from your round can help me a bit. I am looking forward to everything that comes to me now and thanks already in advance Rolf

Hello together, since I want to renew the valve shaft seals in two weeks, I am just putting together a “shopping list” – this consists of: 1. Valve shaft seals (Volvo original) 2. Simmerring camshafts (4 pcs.) 3. Sealing/Sealant valve lid (Is there actually a seal or is one always working with “liquid seal” – Which do I take there?) Have I forgotten something or too much – or does it look good? And…can someone use a tool to hold down recommend the valve springs or pull out the old VSD?

Hello friends and experts of the Volvo 850, With my o.g. elk the following problem arises: If I start the car cold, the engine runs round and also has a normal gas intake. If it then runs like this, it starts the spretting after about 1.5 minutes and then also does not really want to take the gas. Sometimes, however, it goes again. After you have exhibited it then and again starts the same problem again. I did the following, or already checked: – New ignition Kerzen und Kabel – Verteiler i.O. – Neues Drosselklappenpoti inkl. Reinigungsame – Neue Lambdasonde – New exhaust – New air filter – New petrol pump and filter – Petrol pump relays i.O. – Petrol pressure regulator i.O. – New vacuum hoses, p.E. is also no leak available – Control times checked – Cat is free – New crusher – Oil trap new – Blinkbox says 0 error (1-1-1) From time to time she says that the mixture is too fat (5-1-2) – Injection nozzles i.O. – Nozzle stick seals i.O. – Verd i.O. – New intake air temperature sensor – New coolant temperature sensor – Idle controller cleaned and i.O. Does anyone have any idea? I finally have to get the cart through the TÜV so that I can register it. Thank you in advance, LG Sven
