Hi Volvo community, my 2001 V70 bifuel seems to be a time machine in fact. When I refuel, I always reset the day-kilometre counter. When driving away from the tank: mileage 0.0. A short time later and about 20 km further at the factory gate: ignition off, ignition key off, lock the gate, reset, ignition. TRANSLATION: mileage back at 0.0. The same also when I switch off the ignition at the traffic light or at the level crossing. Is there any time machine of yours? What can I do to make the day-kilometre counter do what it is supposed to do again, namely count RIGHT? Greetings, KaiCNG

Hi! Does the S80 T6 have something like the new Audis “Launchcontroll” That means (with automatic in D) you stand on the brake with the left foot fully through, step on the gas with the right foot, the speed stops at approx. 3000 rpm or 4000 rpm, doesn’t know exactly where and then you let the brake snap and immediately has full thrust and coolest acceleration from the stand? Is that possible with the S80 T6, wants to try it out for fear gear or anything. immt damage, if there is no “Launchcontroll”.

…my Germany flag. Since tomorrow we beat the Ösis with glory and fighting, I am of course thinking about where I put my flag. In addition, I wonder how many people, standing in the trunk of my S60, I would nicely attach the flag to the bonnet. However, I am a little afraid that I could possibly detonate our great flag or that the flag will increase during the ride and smooth on the front panel. e lays nailing, tackern and welding is by the way no option Black-Red-Golden Greetings MINKI …which by the way was rock festival for the Czech Republic…

Hello, all of a sudden, the engine becomes totally lame, when I give the foot of gas is always a hectic “automatic” gas giving so from 1,500 to 2,500 U, then it falls down again and goes up again on its own, then the idling falls off again, then up again. In the stand funny stuttering. If I want to start at the traffic light, totally lame and can drive just so about 40 km/h, no gas acceptance at all. It is the warning “motor maintenance urgent”. I sometimes have the message ” Engine maintenance required”. What can that be … I should probably only drive to the next workshop… V70 II, 2.4 L, 170 hp, year 2001, 165,000 km

Hello together I was today with my thick at the TÜV. Volvo V70 II 2.4L 140 HP BJ. 2003 175`000 km It came out that I had to change the crossbars (both rubbers broken), left and right and the support joint right. I was a little surprised because I only changed my Volvo 2 weeks ago with a friendly brake, set track and had winter check and said there, they should control everything, because I have to go to the TÜV at the beginning of January. But what should it ever be? I have to change the parts so that I can get TÜV. Now I went to another contract venue near me (region Lörrach / Weil am Rhein) and got an estimate for the work there. Price for 2 crossbars, carrying joint incl. work and track adjustment and follow-up check at TÜV 1`000 € Now I wanted to ask if this price is realistic or a bit exaggerated: Thank you very much Friendly greetings Tobias

Hello municipality, between the years I slipped into the ditch in northern Germany near Glatteis and thanks to the all-wheel again without problems came out again. Nevertheless, the bones hurt with shock and light gum bleeding also had me. The pulse raced and everything ran off like in slow motion. This happened on an asphalted dirt road because I did not turn off in time. The Navi then meant as a new route: in 400 meters to the right, in this well-developed dirt road. At the end turn right and I slowly slipped sideways into the ditch. The vehicle stood diagonally sideways in trenches. First of all radio out and stupidly looked. Nowhere with the car jagged and getting out did not go because of the slanting position and the bushes. Steering wheel straight and backwards, the car pulls sideways deeper into this ditch. Thought what now, so steering wheel hit again to the right and the Volvo came out quite loosely. Problem was, the mirrors look into the sky, you see nothing, no tree no shrub. Now my question, since I have slipped quite long, slowly. Can I actually, since I have braked the reverse gear and thus shorten the slide path? Is this even possible with the Geartronic, or does it only work with a hand switch or in general not at all?

Hello Volvo-Freaks, my V70 BJ. 2005 – 70,000 km makes terrible rolling noises. The master of my trust has told me that the dampers are through and therefore the tires outside the front have developed to the saw tooth. What is necessary now? – An axle measurement and to direct the fall? – new tires? – new dampers? or everything? For experiences of yours or recommendations I would be very grateful to you!! Greetings MC

Hello, I have the HU-603 radio system in my V70II. Since I would like to feed the Teifbas area, I ask the forum whether it is possible to connect an external power amplifier to it. I have the power amplifier, it also has a low bass filtering. So I would have to get the audio signal out of the radio, for example, to hang it on the chinchein entrances of the stage. Then I build a subwoofer in the trunk floor and everything should be chic … Who has information, if this with as an ex-technician, I am not afraid of deeper interventions. So, let it out the secret! 🙂 Thank you and greeting Frank

Hello forum, I’m back to their LPG thing. Now I have to calculate with an annual mileage of approx. 27,000 km with 2 autogas computers in the net that the installation is amortized after just 2 years. After that save approx. 850€/year. Here in the forum I read partly that this is not worthwhile at the annual running performance. The car is BJ 2001 and has now 95.000km down. I bought it used to a year ago. What’s right now?? btw: Does someone know an experienced change. ster in the area Karlsruhe (+Umkreis 100km)? The dealer where I bought has been upgrading for a few months. I don’t know, however, how fit it is in the short time already…. Or do you want to go to the WW?

Hello municipality, have a performance increase of Heico Sportiv since the latest and I am particularly satisfied with the new fuel consumption. So far the average fuel consumption was about 12-12.5 liters to 100 km. I now have about 2 liters less fuel consumption to 100 km after performance increase (the indicator went even for the first time below 10 liters average). The whole response behavior of the vehicle (automatics) has improved. Thanks again on this way to Heico Sport iv also for the particularly friendly handling. Here everyone paid off. Greetings from the sunny winning country. (XC 90 D5 – year 03/2007 – 185 hp (now 210 hp) – approx. 50,000 km)
