  • Cooling water temperature indicator failed, fan always runs….

    Yesterday I had an unpleasant experience, which pointed to an electronic problem. But everything in turn: On the way home there was a lot of traffic to the column drive over the San Bernardinopass. Then I decided to take a break and steered a parking lot. At the stop I noticed that the fan of the engine cooling was running at the highest speed. I still let the engine run a little and then switched off, water temperature as always nice in the middle. When driving after about 20 minutes the fan ran again directly with the full speed. I also had to give gas so that the engine could start up. But because of the outside temperature of 28 degrees still looked like normal. Here of course with switched on climate. After a further 70 km drive and a stop of approx. 30 km. I had problems again during the further drive. Again the fan went to full speed, the engine still needed to jump again to the speed, then ran again with increased speed, although still cooled down. By repeatedly returning to the normal empty run. In addition, the cooled water temperature was still quiet.

  • c70 rattle noises with poor roadway, channel covers

    and web translations, nothing new, but worse than ever before. Origin: pretty safe rear area, more right. ÖAMTC: nothing found Workshop: nothing found (but also not a single bad road in the further area for demonstration). Has someone an idea – the flapping is killing me.. MfG charles164

  • V50 DRIVe landed

    Hello MT’ler so, now also our last elk landed V50 1.6D DRIVe Momentum kko green seats Cacao T-Tex real wood Nordic oak PDC rear high-performance laminated glass floor heating seat heater With pleasure we have taken up the small and with some pain left the beloved XC70 Ocean Race. The difference is logically quite crazily – from the battleship XC70 with 210 hp to the handy V50 with 109 hp motörchen. But finally that was also the sense of the thing. Even with the winter tyres we had had to put on it immediately you can feel the difference in the purse. For the XC70 always around 1’800 francs due, but at the V50 it is just 640 francs! The consumption of the DRIVE says of course at the moment nothing – tacho stand 32 km! On the way home we collected the first impressions: The 1.6D is still clear to be recognized as a trekker. But it can be driven very fast and has amazing power – I would not have expected from the data sheet so pleasantly, but thanks to the premium performance is not easy to say the first round of the good practice.

  • Which current FM-transitter for 2005’er HP-Radio?

    Moin, sufu found nothing or only the well-known mammoth thread, which I only flew over without finding anything. My question is this: which currently available FM transmitter is best suited for operation with a 120GB ipod classic on an HP in a 2005 V50? It should bring the following functions: charging the Ipod over 12V Automatic frequency search for the “best” transmitter, like with 2-3 memory places. Display for frequency Like, but no must have, RDS or similar possibility of title display. Price best not higher than 50E. Which do you use? And are you satisfied? Thank you for your tips. BG Sascha

  • GSM telephone

    Does anyone have any experience with the built-in GSM phone in the V50? What is the sound, the communication during acquittal? Does the passenger of the handset with a bracket attached to the right side of the center console disturb? Can the whole bracket be removed if you don’t need it for a longer period of time?

  • Paint damage to C70 B columns on both sides (scattering)

    Hello All, I have found when cleaning my car, that on the B-pillars the paint is peeled off through the doors and with me is from top to bottom the paint on an edge completely off and you can see the bare metal. I fear that because of the lack of stiffness of the convertible, the doors along the B-pillars become shy. The places are not accessible from the outside and therefore no rempler or scratcher comes into question. The damage is identical with both doors. So also no door-opening problem because the driver’s door is clearly used more frequently. Do you also have comparable damage to the paint and what did you do against it? I will address the friendly one. That is not in the sense of the inventor that the car itself frees itself from the protective paint.

  • Fuel consumption s40 / V50 2.4 140 hp

    Hello, I would be interested in how high your sprite consumption is. I was in the workshop yesterday, where I was told my lmm was broken according to the error memory. according to my friendly would go down with a healing lmm extremely my sprite consumption. I don’t think yet that the broken is because I never noticed that the consumption went up. I also read here that some people got a new software played up, after that the error was gone.

  • Tips for painting allg. and (mini-)spoilerC30 paint

    Hello, in the parking garage a polder has absolutely a greasy scratch with approx. 25 cm length in the rear lower side flank of my silver C30 had to make. This is so deep that the sheet metal is also slightly covered. I was told that you can also spat (and then paint over) but it would be better to dilute the sheet again with high effort and then paint it, as one would have seen spatted after a few years. Your opinion? The one painter wants with spatulas 250€ – the other 700€ (but I also have offers for 900€…) Another question: I would have had the back standard spoiler painted on top of it. However, this was recommended to me by the “spachteln-is-nix” paintr, since the artoff would be too rough for this and with the time by evaporation would also be ugly the painting. Any comments? Greetings

  • V50 wheel bolts replaceable?

    Hello, just with a screw when pulling up the winter tires found that a threaded bolt of the front wheel is damaged Apparently a “specialist” at the last tyre change the nut with the impact wrench slanted on it – the thread is scrap. Is such a threaded bolt replaceable, or does the whole hub have to be replaced? What costs do I have to reckon with? (V50 T5 MJ 2005) Thanks already for every tip Claus

  • Change of the oil filling quantities ???

    Hello, I had my little one last Monday for the 60,000. According to invoice and checklist everything was done… So now on Sunday, around 23 o’clock and at about 200 km/h, on the way to the barracks, I was happy about the following warning message… Mötorölstand insufficient, the beautiful red exclamation mark and the oil control light… When I looked at the next resting place after the oil the level was a bit below minimum… On request at my *workshop* meant that there was an internal letter from which emerges that the oil level at my D5, by 1.5 liters, was lowered from 6.5 to 5.0 liters. In addition, the software should be adapted. Can I honestly imagine only very hard. What do you think about it? Dear greetings and thank you in advance.
