  • Elk XC60 some questions?

    Hello dear elk friends, My name is Thomas and I come from the beautiful Hanseatic city of Hamburg. We have and decided to buy a Volvo XC 60. Questions arise? The following is planned: Volvo XC 60 , roof tent, conversion 2. Battery Solar – Refrigerator The good piece should then always accompany us on short trips and on longer tours. The place should be enough because we are only two and will also stay. Here a few questions to be able to start with the elk purchase soon? Which Hä ndler in and around HH can you recommend? Has anyone ever had a modification of company XXXXXX???? for 2. battery u.s.w. made? Are there any problems? (place etc.) What delivery time would I have to reckon with with with new cars, and what is to be considered with a Jung-Needen? At present I still fluctuate between used and new cars? Does this also depend on what my Benz E280 brings? The D5 215 PS automatic should be bought. That should be enough for the first time. I am looking forward to numerous Answers and suggestions. A beautiful Easter Monday evening Greeting Thomas

  • Xenon burner exchange S80 II

    Dear people, I recently received both Xeneon burners and I would like to exchange the second one myself (the first one was exchanged for expensive money in the workshop). First of all I wanted to check which model was now installed by the workshop to have the same color temperature. Now my problem comes: on Youtube there are wonderful instructions on how to take out the headlights and change the pears. Easy for children, one would like to think – but unfortunately this can be seen imm It’s easier than it is. I just can’t get the plug down for the power supply. According to the operating instructions, you have to push your thumb in the top and pull it at the same time. But with my S80 there’s just nothing going on! The part must have been stuck somehow over the years. Has anyone already had the problem and could solve it? I don’t dare spray WD-40 on it, because it might also cause damage. Greetings, Gryphon

  • City Safety MJ13

    Hello dear Elk community My question to you! Last year in August I ordered and received my new XC60 D4 AWD with Heico with full equipment except fond display and rear heating. My question: City Safty, does this also have the bicycle recognition? When I have the cruise control inside he recognizes the cyclists and brakes, but I don’t know if he would do it without cruise control. 2. Question, City Safty, I drive in the city my foot is on the gas a person “jumps” in front of the wagon or a car in front of me brakes (BUT my foot is still on the gas) does the car still initiate an emergency braking system? 3. on the highway, e.g. speed 140km/h the car bursts in front of me. Does my car also brake or does it only light up the collision alarm? I mean it is already clear that it can not brake to a standstill without a collision, but will the car if I crash, brake and prevent the worst possible? I mean with the cruise control the yes priiiima recognizes t will everything from bike to truck still what, if no bike recognition is available in the MJ13, is this updateable via a software? look forward to your answers!

  • Camshaft Suit Order

    Halllo all on the other hand, I have searched extensively in my Vida Edition for the D4204T5 but could not find anything on the subject of suit order of camshafts during installation. So either there is really nothing there or my Vida is incomplete… Does anyone know more? Otherwise I would have simply worked crosswise and piece by piece from outside to inside and when installing from inside to outside… Thank you in advance, Lg, Michael

  • Help! S60 Cross Country AWD strong polternoise rear axle

    Hello dear Volvo Community, I have a strong poltern at my S60CC D4 AWD on the rear axle. Actually, since I bought the car with 30tkm about a year ago. The sound can be heard sometimes on the right and sometimes on the left side. Mostly I notice it in residential areas or in urban traffic. At high speeds on the country road it is almost impossible to determine. It has already been exchanged – shock absorbers on the rear side on both sides – dome bearings on both sides – Exhaust rubbers – coupling rods – brake calipers – brake pads at the rear unfortunately without success. I made a video in which I drive over a patched roadside. Here this is particularly clear.https://youtube.com/shorts/vitt310nivA However, this can also be reproduced in everyday life, partly it occurs with gulli lids and partly even with a coarse bitumen strip. Depending on the distance, however, this is sometimes not good to reproduce. I’m beginning to despair. Maybe someone here knows the problem of an S60/V60/XC70/XC60…

  • Installation Volvo Subwoofer and DAB

    Hi Together From a reliable source, I know that the installation of the original DAB and subwoofer in my V70 III can be done without factory options. Now I want to clean all of this, i.e. to the extent possible exactly to the factory installation. I know the positions of the devices and also their protection. (Sub 25A and DAB 5A in the rear fuse box) That brings me to the first question. Does anyone know which cross section of Volvo is installed for the SUB? Probably 4mm2, I would have now 2x 2,5mm2 v The second question would be where can I get this Volvo plug? (See pictures) Twice power and once Fakra. But the Fakra is not the standard dual port connector. Greetings and thanks Christoph

  • V60 BJ 2015 D3 Very high oil consumption

    Hello to the round, I have the following problem with my V60: It has now run 117,000 km and consumes about 1 L to 1000 km. It has already consumed some oil when I bought it as an annual car with 20,000 km, but since I crossed the 100,000 km threshold, the oil consumption has increased strongly. I was already at a Volvo dealer. That meant 1 L to 1000 km is still within the frame and by the way, you can not do anything anyway, because you can separate the whole engine apart Then I was at another Volvo dealer, who looked at the engine a little bit more closely and then changed the “fresh air intake hose filter turbocharger”, replaced the “VD seal” and changed the “sealing valve cover”. So it is on the bill. It all cost 800,- €. Then I could drive at least 2,500 km until he wanted to have 0.5 l of oil again. But now he wanted to go after another 500 km have the next 0.5 l of oil. So it didn’t do anything. So what now? Selling a car is bad, because you probably have to specify the oil consumption (otherwise fraudulent deception) and thus only get very little for the car. Continue driving and always continue to tilt oil? Or then threatens an engine damage? Or continue to exaggerate cause research?

  • Electrode distance spark plug (Volvo) for CNG operation

    Good day, I am about to have the annual inspection and maintenance, and the spark plugs will also be replaced. Currently, the Beru Ultra Titan UPT14P are installed, which will then be replaced by the original Volvo. My gas retrofitter said, and I have already read this several times here in the forum that the Volvo candles should also be the best for gas operation (CNG). My car has in the upper load range partly dropouts while accelerating, and now by changing the spark plug However, there are different opinions that you should also reduce the electrode distance from 0,8 to 0,7mm/0,65mm during gas operation in order to relieve the ignition coils in particular. I personally would prefer to leave the fingers of sensor gauge and co. Are there experiences of the LPG and CNG drivers? Did you just take the standard candles unchanged or still change the distances? If yes, this has somehow been noticeable g My ignition coils have been holding for so long now, so hardly do you think that the gas operation will let them live off much earlier. But if the lower distance allows a better ignition spark, then it would be worth considering… Thank you VG

  • LED license plate lighting V70/ XC70, 60: ultimate solution

    Dear Forengemeinde, the search on this topic was rather nothing. So I would like to inform you in this article about an original LED solution for the registration plate. These are the luminaires, which were used with the XC60 I in its last model year. These inserts fit the V70 III and XC 70 II (as well as all others with the luminaire shape). Plug&Play replaceable, discreet light, no error message and (basicly) legal. At skandix currently costs an approx. 24 Eur o, with Volvo directly 16,16 Euro incl. VAT and was available within 24 hours. Details in the pictures. Maybe yes for the one or the other interesting.
