Hello Elche, is it actually possible to deactivate all !!!! Airbabs ? without the registration of the vehicle expires ? After the broadcast today in the Fersehen I am still very unsure what the things develop so in own life. Last week in the Astra BJ98 the airbag of my son triggered from the right seat by itself! Luckily his 6 month old sailor in the Maxicosi in the back seat nothing happened. But I don’t know bang trauma or so ? Since my XC 70 so no passenger air bag has ( previous owner had ordered the so) I wonder if you can’t turn off the things. ? Drive since 1967 car from the Beetle Convertible to real Cooper Mini,Audi,Mercedes,Alfa,Jaguar,all without airbag until 1983-since Volvo.Even with my daughter’s Super Gau with 245 D no airbag needed. What do you do? Greetings crevice fix

Would like to retrofit a soot filter for our XC90 D5 (4.2003). As it is a filter system that is installed in addition to the existing catalyst, it has to be renewed if it was installed for more than five years or for more than 80000 kilometers in the vehicle. What is it supposed to be? The cat is completely functional, otherwise the TÜV would have criticized it. Our DB 230TE has the first G-cat and has been approved by TÜV with 260000km. Decade of politics or a vers The economic promotion programme, as additional costs for the cat of 1000-1200 EUR arise. But if you prefer to use the tax for approx. 40 EUR further, what is economic, the environmental zones should be united. In addition, a car without a soot filter in two to three years is worthless. What do you think about it? Stefan

Hello Volvogemeinde… last year I had my V70 D5 MJ 2006 unlocked the heater and could use it cheerfully in the last days. At the beginning I always used the timer function. But because we drive a lot of short distance I took away from it due to the running times (40 min) and activated the heater manually (20 min before the start of the drive). The car was then always sufficiently heated. switch (after approx. 3 sec) with a 10 second long pin. GrrrkdaGrrrkdaGrrrkdaGrrrk…. During start-up and during operation, the heater is well audible, but even. sounds a little like the fans (outside) from the Combi market in our area 😉 Can anyone explain what the pin is about and whether I can/must live with it or possibly cause bigger damage? Greeting, gosar

Dear forum, I am a newcomer here and have no idea of cars. – I drive a V70, year 12/2004 with currently approx. 170 tkm mileage. – A fantastic car, as I find it. Unfortunately, in recent times I noticed that the good at driving under full speed in the middle speed range on the one hand is rusting relatively strongly, on the other hand (is now the right season) from the engine area gives a slightly clacking noise of itself. Inspection (not with Volvo) is only v or 3 tkm, after that I drove him on the track a little (about 300) km full speed with otherwise rather moderate driving. – Since then I noticed his changed behavior, which worries me, because I want to drive the good one a little bit. Are there any ideas, what could exist? – Can I rather neglect the whole thing? In advance Thanks for answers.

halöle… about 3 weeks ago I noticed that my turbo (car: s60 mj 05 d5 163ps 160 000km) quite loudly abbläst (kissed) once you notice that twice as much and you always pay attention to it… I actually didn’t notice any difference in performance and it is also normal that the turbo a bit whistles and hissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssings but as strong as this is now I can’t imagine that everything is normal… 3 days ago also came the error message “motor maintenance” but this one was gone after the engine started again and didn’t come anymore… now my questions: -is the turbo easily accessible so that you can look for torn down hoses?(I came in front of the turbo behind the engine block and so very unfavorable) but I didn’t explicitly look after it yet… -how would your remote diagnosis be? wish all still nice day/evening and thank me already

Hello! Can anyone report about problems with the XC70 II D5 with 186 hp and automatic (until 2007) with the front drivetrain (differential transmissions/joint shafts/cross joint), repeatedly reappearing strong metal flapper noises from the drivetrain at the front left. I have now (at km stand 178.000) for the 2nd time a defective cross joint (after only 40,000 further km with the first new part), have slowly had the nose of VOLVO, own a real “mountain car”!, was in the last 2 years approx. 20 times in the workshop and have (in addition to the prescribed inspections, all performed!) had about 2000 € of repairs in addition to this vehicle, my predecessor (V70 D5 , 5 gear gear gears) ran over 230,000 km impeccable, seem to have real quality problems, never buy a VOLVO again…:-( CYGNUSX1

I turned the ring for the information of the on-board computer. Shortly afterwards the message “Sure stop, engine restart” came on the BC. Since I was at home anyway, I parked the car overnight in the parking lot. When I started the car this morning, the following symptoms occurred: cruise “Cruise” does not turn off and when repeatedly pressing the horn goes with it. When I press the rotary switch always remains the same angle. The flashers don’t work when I do the lever. The driving light does not turn off. That was the first thing I noticed. Who can help me there. I am grateful for any help. PS. Pictures of my moose are now also present.

Hello together, my V 70 II (Sport Edition, Bj 08/2007, 2,4D with Heico Tuning = 210 HP) was just for routine 40TKM inspection.. In addition to the price (here for separate Fred) I am also surprised by at least a perceived performance reduction after the service. .. in the invoice is what of new software for the control module (on guarantee without cost), but I hope that the workshop at the engine control set up by Heico can not grope about anything, right? Would I be very happy If one of you (at best also with Heico) could report about his experiences/evaluations… Thank you and many greetings Matthias

Hello, after using the search function on the topic of four-wheel drive and reading various forum posts, it makes me feel that something with my four-wheel drive can’t be right: I drove up a small climb on a slightly snow-covered road on the weekend. I already gave a little bit more gas to see how the car reacted to it. Result: The front wheels started to spin! Whether the rear wheels could be driven at the same time ic Now, of course, I would be interested to know if this is so normal or if the car should have reacted differently? Above all, however, would I like to know how to check the correct function of the four-wheel drive itself? – Is there a simple test for “everyone” that clearly confirms whether the four-wheel drive works or not?

Hello all, I have again, or should I say still, a problem with my Navi. Background: I bought the car (V70 II BJ 05) last year with working Navi. A few months later the thing went no more. “DVD can not be read”. Exchange of the laser unit from me unfortunately did not do anything. That meant it was the ECU and must be replaced, cost approx. 720€!!! Now I called this morning at a workshop in Düren, the Volvo Navi error beh They think that if it’s the ECU, we will cost you 350€ or ABS ECU 199€ depending on which one it is. However, I would have to have both ECUs removed or extended myself. Repair approx. 2 days!!! Now to my questions/problems. -Can it be that it’s not on the ECU and that just wants to earn a few €. (Wouldn’t be the first time with me!) -Can I have the ECUs removed myself or rather have them removed? -Com mt the error message “DVD can not be read” at all from the ECU, if everything else e.g. immobilizer funnitioniert? The workshop in Düren is unfortunately 3 hours drive away, so I would not like to go there. Would I be very pleased about any help!
