  • V70 D5 EU import vs. dtsch. Version

    Hello V70 D5er ! Who has, or where is there for future D5 Faherer a list with the differences between the EU cars (France, Benelux, Italy, Netherlands etc.) and the German original equipment and/or production stand. IMHO it is only then (for me) possible to compare the price advantage of the EU cars with the added value of the German cars. What I already got out: a.) Following a tip I can already state that French V70 D5 a approx. 12…17mm smaller front Brem (from self-made photos, with the same rim, with an estimated measurement error) b.)The next difference is the question about the heater. As I read here, it is not clear which EU variants have at all standard. If one goes after the surcharges for the real heater in the respective price lists (criterion equal price for gasoline and diesel), then in the French, benelux and Dutch V70 D5 the heater is not included. Who knows more precisely ? Who has a a list ? Who still knows differences ? Greetings Christoph P.S. A V70 D5 will make it safe, only from where and what do I have to do without !

  • On-board computer self-test

    S60 / S80 etc … most people know this: “READ” button and 2x short (not, as everywhere is 3x !) the key of the fog lamp is pressed, the error memory is read out by display and the individual assemblies are tested. However, if the individual assemblies are tested (ABS checking … etc.) there are some that do not get out of the “checking phase”. -> TCM (control unit automatic gearbox), ECM (motor control unit), DDM, PDM (control unit doors), CCM (air conditioning unit) your device) and SWM (driver steering wheel). Everyone else shows “ready” quickly. Is that also the case with you? And does this mean that the test is unsuccessful, or do you have to do anything else to make it go through?

  • Recommendation Volvo-Werstatt in Berlin

    Hello, I have had a used V70 D5 Edition Comfort (MY 2007) in titanium grey for 3 months. Pictures follow, of course, when the weather is nice again. I bought this from a Volvo dealer in Mönchengladbach, but I live and live in Berlin. The BC justifiably asks me to maintain my standard since yesterday. Now I am looking for a Volvo contract, because the roof sky needs a new fixture (causes the known noise). Of course, I would like to combine the visit with an inspection. I am therefore looking for a recommendable Volvo contract venue in Berlin. Unfortunately, the SuFu only lists negative examples. Thank you for your commitment!

  • V70 II (Diesel) starts badly

    Hello, my Volvo has had some cold start problems since the beginning of winter, but I had to org for a few seconds which didn’t make the battery any more. On suspicion I also changed the glow plugs, which have already driven 100,000km, so it was necessary anyway, but this didn’t bring any change. Say: I also had to org a little longer than usual, but it starts after about 6 seconds. Due to the rather high mileage of almost 350. 000km and the knowledge that my moose should last a maximum of one year, however, I did this as a smaller “wehwechen”. A week ago it was then quite frosty outside and also under 0°C. After determined 10 start attempts (each about 10 sec.) I then called the ADAC which had the car with start spray immediately on the run. Now the situation is so that I have to orgle at the cold start each time endlessly long/often until it starts at some point… the starter is completely lost. then once it is at operating temperature, there are no more starting difficulties… but it stands 4, 5 hours the same procedure starts from the front. Is there maybe one or the other component that I could check or exchange on suspicion before I put the moose into the workshop?

  • Standlight always on!?

    Hello together, help my Volvo (V70II Bj 2002 with Xenon) understands the stand light function wrong! Despite the shut off ignition he always wants to leave the stand light on?! This happens when I stand the switch in position “Automatic dipped light”. In the Volvo workshop it was said that it was on the light switch. I disassembled it once, but could not detect anything suspicious (e.g. boiled smell, cracked circuit board) Before I buy a new switch: There are still and he possible sources of errors, e.g. relays, control unit, etc.? What controls the automatic glare? Is there a sensor? Thanks for every tip! Jojo

  • V70 – Where to place switches?

    Hello… I have to expand my V70 MJ06 to PDC (front, rear – third-party) and a front (prisma) and rear camera. For this I would order the video break-in box from www.volvotech.nl with 2 video inputs. At the automatically switching input I would put the rear camera (radio T5 in the license plate frame of Luis.de), at the other input the front camera. To activate the 2nd channel, one has to set a 12V switching signal. I would then have to do this manually. K If I use a free switch on the switchbar at the bottom of the center console for these purposes? The front PDC to be installed would probably always be under juice regardless of speed. To do this I would probably have to switch it off in case of snowfall etc. Here is the same question with the switch.. How and where did you put additional switches in your Volvo. Would be nice if you could post a few pictures about this… Why is the front PDC usually on the Tachos ignal connected and shuts down at over 30 km/h? Due to false alarms at high speeds? Where would I usually get the power supply from the front PDCs? Pull voltage line from the fuse box forward or pick up somewhere in the engine compartment? Many questions… Greetings, gosar….

  • Driver’s door is spinning

    Hello, I was on the road with the V70 and something spins completely at the driver’s door! When I parked the car, I wanted to first open the mirrors electrically, on the right it went quite normal. But on the driver’s door only the engine hums and the mirror drives back a little bit and stays there permanently. Also the floor lighting in the mirror flickers up and then goes out! In addition, the lighting of the window lifter control unit flashes like the blinker indicator, and the d If you run down the window with the lift, it goes perfectly. If you want to make it up, it only goes a little bit higher at the push of a button. If you do it long enough, you get the window up completely. What can it be? Is it somehow connected with the power supply of the door? Since it is so many things, I somehow can’t get along with the Sufu. Who knows what? VG Pete

  • XC90 draughts

    Hello, I have already received quite a lot of information about the draft at the XC90 in this forum. I have a 07 summum D5. Since the beginning of the colder season I have constantly after a little longer ride a cold left arm and the left side of the face is also cold. The heating on the left switches to cold after some time (already repaired twice). Both problems have nothing to do with each other, since I have a XC90 car rental for a week (Mod. 06) and there the same Zu gluftproblems occur. I have the feeling that the cold air comes out of the door, i.e. between internal covering and disk. On the right side there is no problem. Does anyone have similar experiences or solutions?

  • Again throttle flap, but other mistakes than usual

    Moin moose driver, my S80 has already given me a funny error message twice. I drove, then turned off the car and hit it again shortly afterwards. Suddenly the MKL lights up and the message: Urgent engine maintenance required. To get my plug to the OBD and error code says: throttle valve: Sudden high air throughput. Error code deleted continued. 4 days later again. Same error. When driving I noticed nothing and strangely comes the Mistakes also nciht during the ride, but appears when I turn on the car. Someone an idea what that can be? Does the DK possibly hang somewhere and only have to be cleaned? Ohso, is about the 2.4 suction cup with 140hp BJ 2002
