  • High oil consumption and sometimes only runs on 4 cylinders

    850, Bj 94, km 280ooo. I passed my 2nd Volvo, in April with new Tüv and ASU without complaint. Now I notice strong oil consumption, at least 1 liter on 1000km.The oil tank is wet, but that’s because of the Simmering. Curve shaft,(I think) was already before. Now the engine runs after about 5 min. in idle only on 4 zyl, after about 10km it is free again. Presumably piston rings of a yl. defective.Maybe shaft seal?. It also does not squelch strongly when accelerating, highest What do you do?

  • significantly different consumption between 120km/h and 130km/h

    Yesterday we drove 400km from Leipzig to Werne. I drove the first 200km over the A38 with 130km/h cruise control and had a consumption of 10.5 L in the BC. The rest over the A7 and the A44 then came with 120km/h cruise control to 8,9L. Although I drove with gas, but my system is now set top that the values in the BC correspond to the real petrol values. I would describe the track characteristics as similar. My question is now the difference at 10k m/h Difference really so crass or is that a symptom of something? To the completeness 850er, 106kW, MJ 95 Thanks Janko PS: @Markus: I haven’t been able to determine oil consumption after 1500km yet

  • Volvo’s ticking fuel pump?

    Dear expert Volvo community, My V70 I 2.4 with (just once) 299640km has just been ticking. I try to describe the problem as precisely as possible: I went off, everything without problems as always. Car after 2km, 15min later back into the car, car didn’t start anymore, or mucked again and again and then did nothing more. With a light gas pedal game I got him then, idle normal, drive off, after a few meters, engine off. So again rumgemac At low speed no problem, as soon as we arrived in direction 3000, jerk off, engine. The engine obviously swallowed up, or seems to be slimming down. Engine again, worked again better, ca. 500m at low speed, then I had to turn it off anyway. Following directly to the mechanic of my trust old school, oh miracle, car jumped immediately and started on the way there too. On his farm he made light bitches again and again, but then ran when he ran smoothly. Return home also without problems. I will continue to observe the problem. Our both suspicion is the fuel pump. But before we make out there now and exchange my question on suspicion: Do you have experiences, whether the in this order of magnitude gladly gives up the mind or there are problems for example with a control unit or similar? Or should I at least at the bess change to a brand new V70 for € 58 million 🙂 Thank you very much!

  • Bilprovning…

    Just been there, my moose was on to the Swedish TÜV. Almost all good… no rust on supporting parts or bigger damage that would mean an off! I had made brakes already two months ago, they were completely finished after 330 000 km… as usual there were probably only the blocks changed… so windows and coverings made… normal wear! Now eat the track rod joint on the right slightly knocked out, I had not noticed yet when driving… costs 20 ,- thaler and is no problem! Only stupid is, he licks a bit of fuel on the right side of the tank, must be new, I had not noticed! So just under looked, plastic cover away and… by the gap between tank and car found a rusted petrol line, must be from the pump to the filter! If also no problem, I could cut off and install a somewhat longer hose … only I can not get there… I can only see! Maybe there is another idea. . Out of axis down and tank out… that’s bigger action at the XC! All in all but for a 20-year-old car it’s kind of amazing that’s not on anymore!

  • 850 T5 automatic transmission

    Yes Hello, while driving backwards my car has stopped, then switched back and forth, the arrow does not blink, in reverse it rolls forward now. The mechanical circuit works. When I read out codes 3-1-3 and 2-2-3 I have disassembled once and cleaned the problem still exists. has someone often had this problem and a solution ready? And where do I get a schematic for the automatic transmission from with pin support ung. Thank you in advance

  • Change the clutch…

    I’m just getting along with the idea…. Don’t want to wait until it’s too late…. Therefore my question to you. Is it only useful to install a repair kit or should the complete clutch be new? What recommendations do you have regarding manufacturers? I would describe my driving style rather as sporty…. I’ll replace the Simmerring on the gearbox for the reverse gear control levers. That’s my only siff point;-)))) nr. and where do I get it from? Are there any parts that should be taken on the occasion? Will the surgery go through with a friendly mechanic at the WE and I am grateful for every tip (work process, special features, important things) Thank you and l.G., Andreas

  • problems cooling water,motor stutters

    hi, I’ve been having problems with the cooling water and a stuttering motor in the empty run for 2 days now. cool water now drained 2 times and filled up. ventilated in which I left the cover of the balance tank open, motor running and heating on full pulley. so far so well. drive now and the motor gets hot comes the red coolant lamp and it’s actually missing coolant. let the motor cool down is the stand again perfect. but the biggest problem is that the motor has been in for 3 days empty run stutters when it is warm. I stop and turn the cover of the filling tank carefully on warm motor, escapes air. then also the stutter stops. throttle flap I had overtaken 4-5 months ago by ecu. also has nothing to do with it, as I said the stuttering goes away when I leave air out of the cooling system as described above by turning the lid on hot motor. volvo v701 2,4 ez 1999 thank you for help.

  • Help.. Warning lights all flash after regulator change

    Moin, big problem! Had the days changed my controller at the Lima, now all warning lights start on at the start, blinking irregularly and flickering, when it is a little warm then the problem does not appear in my opinion! What can that be? PS: in nor week I want to go with the family on holiday n the lake! I try to upload another movie. Greeting Ronny
