  • OT: Has the §17 para. 3 StVO been amended?

    Moin Elch driver, After I have almost become accustomed to the fact that hundreds of thousands of drivers drive around with the fog lights in the area and thus annoy and dazzle the oncoming traffic, now also two pole-line cars have come to meet me at the WE, which also meant to have these things in the clearest conditions. According to my knowledge, there is clearly in § 17 para.3 StVO: Quotation: (3) Prevents fog, snowfall or rain the view is considerable, then also a In such weather conditions only fog lamps may be switched on or has something changed?????

  • V70 – S60/80 Purchase advice

    Hello all, unfortunately I still haven’t found out about a new car. In short: Omega A 2,0 BJ 93, have never driven such a reliable car before, but he is still quite “ready” throughout the years, first Papa, then I,nie Porblme made. Now I would like to have another such vehicle for the next ten years. V70,or if there would be a great kick-off also S60/S80 from BJ 2000 I think. Equipment: climate automation, tempomat and he should be well cared for s 1. Seat heating, PDC and Navi would be great but not so important,Stand heating of course a dream 😉 But now, which machine, no diesel,170 hp should be already and the most important thing, I must be able to pay it. Absolute max. 800€, rather at 700€ end. What would you recommend, is the small Turbo ok with 179 Ps or rather the fingers of the turbomachines right away? Thanks for your answers and efforts. Greeting Kriss

  • ILLCHEF’s car torched!!

    Hello! Tonight it happened:http://www.sueddeutsche.de/,tt3m1/germany/article/234/115119/ My question: Could this happen with a VOLVO too?? How is the passive fire prevention, the flammability of the interior materials, the possibilities of repair after complete burnout??? @ Gseum: would that be a case for VOLVO PRO?? Gruss Michael (doesn’t find the topic to joke at all…even in Berlin today After several “luxury carosses” have been torched…but the m it offered the BILDCHEF now just here..Sorry!)

  • Volvo XC90 never ending story

    Hello dear Volvo community. My third Volvo is now an XC90 D5 BJ2006 136TKM The vehicle was top a few months ago and without any defects. After the determination of a somewhat spongy driving method, the crossbar jacks were detected when the wheels were changed in the spring. Didn’t bother me in itself. But if it’s defective, you switch too. Had I rather let it. After the exchange of the crossbars and measuring the axle by a Volvo workshop I have a The car was picked up in the evening. It was all right. 2 days later, when we parked out of the garage with wheels hit over the edge of the board, a “klong” from the VA on the left and the steering wheel was a bit crooked again. Immediately the factory noticed the wrong steering wheel and immediately complained. So back to the workshop and let it be straightened. A few days later, the 150TKM inspection was on. Cross handlebars were, of course, found impeccable. The suspicion was expressed that the drive shaft and/or cathedral bearings could be. Drive shaft was allegedly glued to it. No improvement. So I was advised to exchange cathedral bearings on the left, including coupling rod. Said-do. When driving out of the workshop garage backwards over the edge “klong” – everything back to the old. Volvo-Mechaniker achselzuckend “woh Tomorrow we try SEM screws. So much for the history. Now my real question comes. This “Klong” comes to 90% when driving slowly backwards over unevennesses with beaten-in wheels. From time to time even when braking abruptly until the stop e.g. before the traffic light. After that there is rest during the whole journey. Also during the load change. Until the vehicle is switched off for min. 20-30 min. The curious thing is that since the change of the transverse handlebars and the appearance of the “klonk” noises the steering wheel repeatedly turns wrong in other directions. So sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right. Hard to reproduce itself. But imagine that this fits after a “klong”. Cross handlebars were meanwhile found OK by 2 independent workshops. Did anyone ever have this from you? Greeting Alex

  • Oil on a hose near the cooler!!?? V70 2.4 Turbo !! Help !!

    Hello, in the engine meiens 2001er V70 2.4 Turbo there is a hard plastic hose. It goes from the cooler (below the headlight on the driver side) to the middle of the engine block and then runs (I suppose) under the engine. A hose from the same hard plastic material also runs directly across the engine block. At first mentioned I found an oil film directly where it is flanged to the cooler (beside / below) from the driver’s headlight. What is this for an S Chill or pipe? Does the oil film belong there? Looks like engine oil!?!?!? Thank you !!

  • Exhaust for S60 2.4 petrol Bj 2001

    Hello S60 professionals, for the OHL vehicle we need a new exhaust in the foreseeable future. The holder in front of the rear silencer was torn down and was replaced by an innovative spare part from VOLVO (price value). But the front and rear pot and above all the rear suspension no longer have the eternal life. On demand with the really extremely friendly one I sat fortunately as my friendly warehouseman named the price. As Asterix always said: “…the spiders, the Romans!” But in our case it is real “spinners” from the aftersale area at VOLVO-Germany, unfortunately! I have decided in this case to search for the original supplier or a qualitatively adequate alternative supplier. Who of you has experience with the alternative renewal of the exhaust system or can call shopping sources? THANK YOU in advance! Good journey SÖM-XC90

  • all warning lights V70II flash on

    hello – I’m new here and try to find out a problem on this way: With my V70 (diesel/automatic) the following happens again and again at irregular intervals: during the ride all warning lights suddenly light up during the ride, there is a small jerk – the lamps go out again and the ride continues. In the stand I have already run out of engine, that means probably that this also happens during the ride, but by the swing it becomes almost like has someone had something like that before and what was that at the end? Many people for your answers!!!

  • RTI doesn’t want any more

    Hello everyone, my RTI worked until recently with a 2005 DVD without any problems. But since I also own a (original) 2007 DVD (which unfortunately never worked) I asked during the last workshop visit, you should take care of it. You probably put a cleaning CD in there, but otherwise allegedly nothing else did. Unfortunately the result was that the 2005 DVD doesn’t work anymore! The question is now: Can this be or has been so the next question is: can one somehow achieve, by software, that the previously perfectly functioning disk suddenly no longer runs (I somehow have the quiet suspicion, they want to build me a new Lauwerk) What do you think about it??? Thank you in advance
