Dear Forum, so far I have read along with you. 2016 was the purchase of a used car. I didn’t want to have to rap it much and needed a reliable car. My grandparents have always driven Volvo, my first one I inherited from them. so a V60 with 110 000 km, BJ 2011, automatic, D3, check-book submitted by Volvo contractors. Purchased from a free Volvo dealer who took over from a Volvo dealership. 2015 was in the latter V-belt and spanner a uf Kulanz. In 2016 he got another V-belt and a handover inspection with transmission oil change. 2017 then for the first inspection at the Volvo contract partner on site with me. Above all interior filters were made, moreover the sockets were on the back soon, otherwise everything good, nice ride, 500 and something € incl. oil change and Naviupdate. 229 km later he stops on an autbahn exit, engine goes out, no more jumps. No warning lights, nothing. There it was said the next day: Timing belts through, we have to evaluate the damage, open the engine costs 500 €, then we look further (either repair for 4900 € or engine replacement for 9400 €). After a bit of research and telephony I ask for the V-belt: half of it is. They don’t want to tell me what is the cause of the whole thing. Slowly I get angry. 10 000 € Repair but one is not ready to make a guess about the cause??? Ver towing the car to a free workshop: they open the timing belt cuff and find an intact timing belt. However, the tensioning roller lies in the cuff. Screw broken. After 125 000 km. Screw through. So there are two scenarios: 1. The screw is crap. A two Euro part does 10 000 € damage. 2. The dissolving V-belt has somehow destroyed the screw. But why does a V-belt dissolve 229 km after the inspection? Is not guaranteed here, Why am I going there? The Volvo partner says: maybe a stone. Only the car is closed at the bottom, there are no stones in the area! Now I am looking for: 1. The cause. 2. The culprit (who takes care of the repair costs). 3. A solution. Do you have ideas/experience values?

Moin together, I would like to upgrade an AHK (Westfalia, removable) to my V70. I trust that the coupling can be installed without any problems, but when connecting the E-Sat I still have “disquiet” – I would take a vehicle-specific AC. Does anyone of you know if these are only plugs for plugging (so also for an electrics layman no problem), or has to connect loose cables to existing cables. Is there a “SUPPORT page! ? Would I be happy if here one of you can give information. Would like to save the 300,- for the cultivation…;-) Thank you and greeting Fossi

Hello, Since my driver mat looks kind of rough, I look for new ones. Unfortunately, so it seems, there are always complete sets with mats at the back. Apart from many mats from third-party manufacturers I find hardly anything in the net (admittedly, I have not yet made it to the dealer …) The current mats – oh yes, it is a V70 Bj 2008) are already quite thin. In my former V70 the parts were always nice thick and pulled up at the edge. Son thin stuff wi i didn’t know that in the current car. Therefore, the question whether someone has a tip – a neat mat – as far as possible only the front … Thanks and a nice weekend Frank

Dear Volvo friends, I have a V70 D5 Momentum with 185 HP, EZ 06/2008 and 140,000 Km with which I am very satisfied. Now my friend offered me this V70 for a surcharge of 4,000.http://suchen.mobile.de/…/details.html?… Now I am unsure. He has more kilometers but 5 years younger. What do you think? Should I accept the offer? Thank you for your help Andreas

Moin moin. We are close to an XC 60 to Leasen, at the moment we are still driving Tiguan. My questions to the experienced Volvo drivers, it is worth taking the family package? Children are 7-9? Sounds good with the seats. Then still to drive? Diesel 190 ps with or without all-wheel drive? Or the petrol engine? Of the mileage we are full in the petrol range (about 12000 per year). Planned is an XC 60 R design in brown metallic. 20 inches, everything at assistants as well as harman and kardon soun. d. Panorama roof ect.

Hello, I plan to buy new tyres 235/35R19 incl. rims for the summer. Now my question, are steering fittings/limiters necessary? So far I have installed the 225/55R16.

Moin, I hope you can help me. Our elk is in Lower Saxony and always under a carport, so that an icy windshield has absolute rarity value. Today it was at least a little frozen with the elk, so that my wife wanted to try the front window heating this morning, but then scratched again, because nothing happened. Tonight I wanted to try if you can at least “feel” the disc heating, outside temperature Ca minus 2.5 degrees. In urban traffic, I always felt the disc temperature by hand at the traffic lights, inside and outside. At other electric consumers only the driver’s seat heating ran. Inside I had the feeling that it became minimally warm, but I could also be wrong, because I had only set the ventilation to 0 after about 2 minutes. From the outside there was no difference to feel the side windows. Besides, I noticed that the disc heating turned off after 3-4 minutes independently (have s After what I have read here about the de-icing effect one should also feel the heating power or? Automatic switching off is also in the operating instructions, but this should take place at the earliest after 10 minutes or? Do you have an idea where the error lies? “Does” the disc, if there is no ice and does not work? If it does not work, it would be in the error memory and can be read out, or can one d I hope you have an idea.

Hello dear community, As you can read above, I would like to do more myself on my Volvo Xc 60 year of construction 2014 and not throw more money into the workshop for it. Unfortunately I find almost nothing about maintenance work. Except from the interior filter, there are videos and descriptions. Does anyone have any information about this or can give me tips? I still know from my parents a repair manual but I also don’t have such a thing found or probably there will be no such thing. Thanks for it. Greetings

Hello Volvo friends, I turn to the swarm intelligence, as my Volvo car dealership cannot explain the following: I have my XC60-D4 (model year 2012) now almost 7 years 130,000 km, was planned from the beginning as a 10-year car. So far hardly any problems – except that the rear brakes always have to be renewed after 40,000. Since 2020 the car has an underground car blues. This is expressed by the fact that it is now 3 times in different underground garages to a complete union the communication came on the high-speed bus. 2 times the car didn’t start, but a whole cascade of error messages was displayed. 1x the malfunctions occurred while driving slowly in the underground garage. Helped: car off, 10 minutes wait, then everything went again. Once for 2 days the fault indicator at the top left “abgases”, but then also went out again. The Volvo workshop listened to my descriptions first unbelievingly, the assembler said after boarding and nd Driving: it’s a great shot. But the reading of the error memory then resulted in some communication problems of all possible ECUs, invalid data of ECUs, then at the end several times “DEM-U000188 bus”. However, an origin could not be recognized, since the selection list unfortunately shows no date clock time. As mentioned above: so far only in underground garages. My first suspicion goes towards reflection of signals -EMS (electromagnetic disturbance), since the environment i n underground parking is pure reinforced concrete. Maybe it is also something completely different? The workshop certainly has no explanation – “we have never had before”. Maybe someone knows it … In advance thank you for your contributions erde9

After just 2,000km I get the display “Ladestand Battery low”. What’s going on there? Too much music in the stand heard? Now I drove about 500km of highway in the last days and thought the battery should now be fully charged again. To my surprise the display “Ladestand Battery low” came back. What’s going on? Battery not okay? alternator not okay? Chigurh
