  • Display coolant level too low Volvo S80 3.2 MJ 2007 EZ. 2008

    Moin together, get the above mentioned message permanently displayed although in the balance tank up to MAX is filled up. I have already replaced the sensor from below in the container by a new replacement. Result unchanged error message. Where could the cause still lie? Thanks already for your input.

  • V70 II or V70 III What does the new so weaken for? Purchase advice..?

    Hello to each other, since I have unfortunately found kenie category “purchase advice”, I write it here. Pardon if not in place. I’m just about to buy a V70. One of them should definitely be. However, the question arises to me, prefer to get a cheaper V70-II with under 200tkm, or get a V70-III with more than 200tkm for more money…? To me: I always screw my cars myself for over 15 years, special tool I make myself out of sport It is important for me that the car is easy to maintain, and you don’t have to expand the bumper for example in order to change the way it is. If I get a more modern car, the right diagnostic device will usually come into the shopping cart. However, I have read that from a period on Volvo has decided not to build indestructible and that the quality of the car is not indestructible. The only argument to buy a V70-III would be to lie less under the car than under the woman. -Arguments for / against the one or the other? I would be very happy about a few impressions of you! With best regards, hope soon Neuelch, Kinematiker

  • Insurance excludes certain countries from TK

    Hello, I have a question about your insurance for your moose, as there are problems with me recently. I exchanged my 2008 V70 for a newer 2014 D5 AWD. I informed the insurance about the vehicle exchange, a new contract was calculated and concluded… So far everything is good… After about four weeks I got a letter from the insurance, with a change of contract, which I should now sign. In this the theft protection of the partial cascade, for certain The reason is a statistical evaluation….High risk for the vehicle in question. Can they just change this later? I wanted to go to Czechia or Poland in the next few days… My moose is no longer insured against theft… The funny thing is that if I make an online inquiry about my moose at the insurance company at this time, I can immediately conclude a contract without pointing to the said one. tears. I would be very happy about tips… Best regards Femur77

  • Engine damage at 90000Km

    Now it got me too! 2013 Xc70 D5. Diagnosis:Riss in cylinder 3 The problem should be known to Volvo and some here. A new engine would cost me, with 20% vulture of Volvo, about 1000€. What do you think? Sell better with engine damage for 13000€ or new engine and hope it will last longer than 90000 km?

  • Upgrade XC70 with auxiliary heating with FB Telestart

    Servus people, have a question in the round; I have an XC70 D4 AWD from 03/16 production 02/16. which has an original heater ex factory. But without FB, but only to control via the on-board computer. Etz I wanted to equip this heater with an FB, is much more convenient and better. Since I bought a Webasto Telestart Set T100 HTM now, because I wanted to fine-tune the temperature and ventilation with the FB. The Volvo dealer built this already before a few W but then somehow had no time to test the right one, because it was still warm… Etz I am back on site, because I finally wanted the FB to go too. Now comes the hammer… FB can’t be learned, because Volvo software can’t cope with the Webasto Telestart Set T100 HTM… i.e. they only had the set built in at the time without FB learning… Now you want to sell me the original Volvo Kit, the FB can then only turn on the heater without the e Possibility to change the temperature or ventilation etc by FB… Thanks… then the question whether you can not learn the T100 remote power supply to the original Volvo Kit was denied. Reason: With my set the T100 HTM is the cable set 5 adrig… With the original Volvo only 3 adrig… Well my question, is it really that you have a 72,000 Euro list price Volvo and then can not offer more exclusive FB?! Because according to Volvo there is no other FB set, because then there is only the the T91… Now the question to you, they have the one heater also only such a T91 or you managed to connect this T100. Mind you, if a heater is installed ex factory. Thank you. And yes, I am a bit mad at the dealer because he didn’t tell me that before the installation, but what should I do… I would be looking forward to tips now. Thank you very much.

  • Interior colour code – leather refresher

    Hello everybody, I spent some time yesterday again and cared for the interior of my V60. Since the seats are slowly coming to an age and the preoccupied woman didn’t know the word “care”, it’s time to do some minor repairs in one place or another. Now hang on to the right color. The interior code is KT60 (Mj 13, R-Design), but so you can’t find a “name” of the color to order it. Maybe was someone from euc h already at that point and can help me? Thank you very much!

  • An Eastern Austrian workshop in Hungary

    Hello, since I live near the border with Hungary, it would offer to have future service and repair work done at a Volvo workshop in Hungary. Since services are much cheaper than in Austria, the bill could be cheaper. The question is whether the quality of the work is appropriate. Does anyone have experience with it? Thanks Urwi

    Good morning, unfortunately I have the problem with a wet footroom on the driver’s side. A-pillar is also wet. Now, unfortunately, I can’t make it to the friendly one in the next few days.

To the possible question whether he has a glass sliding roof. yes, he has 😉 Do you also have good drying tips? Have already old newspapers I’m looking forward to your suggestions.

  • Diesel Additives for Volvo 5-cylinders

    Hi, everybody, I’ve been digging a little bit and reading a lot about diesel additives. One half says: “Modern engines don’t need additives”. The other half swears on a variety of additives. Starting with two-stroke oil up to many means known and unknown manufacturer. I’m not talking about performance, but durability in terms of a long mileage of the engine. I’ve recently had a D5 2.4l MY2014 with a current 190,000km. Greetings! Smart PS: What do you think about the premium diesel debate? Some just refuel the Premium Diesel from Aral or Shell.

  • Valve cover seal or NW bearing blocks on the D4204T5 (VEA) leaking

    Moin. Even if you shouldn’t do it, I still opened the bonnet. I noticed that it is relatively wet in the area of valve cover seal and has already distributed a rough oil film (see appendix). What do you think, is there need for action, especially in the area ZR and is the cause actually the seal, or rather the outer NW bearing bells? I would be pleased about comments.
