  • Stronger headlight bulbs

    Where are there stronger headlight bulbs for V70 AWD? In the manual “HB 3” is noted as a base. I would like to install 100 watt headlight bulbs (frequently on the way at night), but find only such pears for H7 and H4, nowhere for “HB 3”. What is this for a super special base or are there other products that fit in there but do not call HB 3? The question in the more advanced stage of despair would then still be called: Can one convert to other base? Halogen conversion is not possible h, says the Garagist. (For V70 AWD year 2000, new form). Who knows advice?

  • After replacement of all 4 Stabis, further prob.

    Hello people Ride an S80I bj. 2004 145 000km I replaced all 4 stabistangs today. Outside it was nice and dry and it sounded great again! Until it started to rain. Now it is wet outside and then comes back the noise that I don’t know from where it could be. They both sound exactly the same. No matter if front left or back right. It’s a dull hitting front left and sometimes back right. So I order it from my ear. What else can that be? is really about 99% in wet road conditions. Domlager I think rather less as I hear no noise while steering. Thanks Gruss jimmy

  • Connection ipod, questions about this. IMIV?

    Hello everyone, I need your help, have already fought through the Sufu, but still a bit confusing ?!? I want an ipod nano/touch/Classic in my V70 afterwards. It is a V70 II EZ 07/2007, Radio 850 Premium Sound Dolby Pro Logic and of course has the AUX connection in the middle shelf, also RTI Navi, CD changer, Volvo phone and multifunction steering wheel. When I connect the ipod to the AUX connection, I listen to music, but have no control on the radio or multifu nktion, right ?? If I get the special ipod adapter cable, this is relatively expensive (170 Euro???) but I can control the ipod via radio and multifunction steering wheel, right ????? Is the imiev the only true solution, because I can also watch videos from the ipod on the Navi screen or connect a rear camera, or also watch TV ???? I have not quite understood what the imiev really can do and how is the current situation to buy/order the imiev and who installs the right one and where is it positioned ? Thank you for your quick tips ! Nice weekend !

  • Error codes read out-V 70 2.4 T ! What error causes troublesome motor run?

    Hello , now have the following error codes read out. One has deleted the memory now and I should drive far away. Then one will see again which error will occur again. How long should I drive now? 500 km in 2 weeks? Is that enough? These are the errors: Error code- Motor-Bosch ME 7.01 Code: 37632 Engine control unit – Communication disturbed Code: 4874 Air quantity/mass meter, signal faulty Code: 8218 Valve Coolant circuit, temperature under control range. Could the problem described in the following text probably cause?? The workshop did not want to express itself yet! In the following I explained my problem with the slightly restless motor running while accelerating. : My V70 2.4 T , Mod.2001, had a little bit of power on which I bought it in November and made noises on the solenoid valve which regulates the turbocharge pressure (charge pressure control valve …). The part was renewed and the car finally had the right performance and For the first time I heard the turbocharger whistling softly from about 1800 revolutions. So it should be, shouldn’t it? But the solenoid valve still makes noises from time to time (it creaks a little bit about 10 seconds), when I turn off the car and turn off the engine…but that’s probably normal, because the turbo pressure is now there. But if one accelerates something under load, so in the 3rd or 4th gear from speed 60 full throttle, then one notices a slight jerking from about 2000 to almost 3000 revolutions. It’s not strong, but the driver notices it. It feels like you suddenly get a strong headwind (storm) from the front and the car is slowed down very easily in the acceleration. So it doesn’t accelerate cleanly….! This only occurred immediately after the change of the solenoid valve. First the dealer had the hope that it would play itself again when the car was driving for some time with the new correct and strong turbo pressure. t, but it’s not like that. (It’s probably been driven without turbo pressure for a long time) What else could cause an unround acceleration?? Thank you

  • Roland Berger changes throttle flaps…

    … one could believe, if one looks at the following figures for the V70 P26. I now have 5 offers available: 700 to 790 euros for the whole action, so exchange of the flap with material, work and taxes. The highlight is that for the mechanical assembly alone it is necessary to slash about 70 euros. For this I need incl. cleaning 5 minutes. (I made 2x) Makes an hourly wage of 840 euros. In the year this is 1.2 million euros. Looks very much like usury / fraud. This must be a fake to protect the “friendly” monopolist. Thank you @ volvocarl: When can we do without software?

  • ABS/Slip-proof.Wait.Required

    Hello dear motor-talker. I have had a problem with my elk V70 D5 BJ 2005 for about 4 weeks. After the start comes very sporatic 2 error messages. 1.ABS/Slip.Wait.Required 2Bremsassistant Wart.Required and additionally lights up the ABS lamp. ABS at this moment also without FKT, could be felt with the beautiful snow. Then it goes again 1 week, then lights up again after the start. Was with the friendly error memory read out and reset. Ig or something. Last week another brake pedal changed because it was in the error memory, but unfortunately again today this “SCH” message.According to friendly ones he wants to change the control part now ?????????? costs really money. My question would be, since the problem always appears during the start process, it might also be the battery. This is now also 4.5 years. Has someone event.Experience with the same problem. Thank you Cora

  • What sales price O.K. ?

    Hello, I would like to ask you to give me a short assessment of which selling price for my XC 90 is realistic. So the price for which it can also be implemented. I have already looked at mobile etc., but there are comparable XC 90 with 18000,00 € – 23000,00 € and I dare doubt that this will work. My car is 2nd hand and MwST. is no longer passable: XC 90 Comfort from 01.2004 with 120 TKM 7 seats Automatic D5 motor with 163 HP (yellow badge) 18 Inch Atlantis (brand tyres run about 10000 km) Heating (thanks to the dealer in D) Wooden steering wheel Speedy servo leather (in the comfort package with inside) Xenon dark discs 2. Air conditioning for 3rd row of seats Parkpiepser rear Radio High Performance (vehicle has no RTI NAVI !) Vehicle is top maintained (check booklet Volvo) and has no flaws or accident o.a. What do you think ? Retailer shopping is not interesting. Thanks for your help and assessment. P.S. Still a great The vehicle from which I separate myself was really hard. Defects were only 1 flown turbo hose and 2 or 3 wheel bearing damages, which were fixed on warranty/propulsion. Too bad there is no technically upgraded successor. I mean, a serious error of Volvo/Geely

  • Speed fluctuations Saws roll in idle mode or when clutch entered

    Volvo V70 II P26 Built 2001, model year 2002 2.4l 140 hp petrol engine type: B5244S2 Hello, I’ve been through some posts and threads now and I hope for help or good advice from you… Basically I have 2 points, where I don’t know exactly whether they are related or not, therefore summarized in a thread. 2. Engine system maintenance required Since the vehicle is (almost) in possession, the error message is displayed sporadicly in the on-board computer. Sometimes a door is open open/close, and the message is no longer displayed. I’ve already read the wildest things about it but I didn’t get smart about it. Basically, I find that nothing is in the memory. The error memory has been read with VIDA several times, currently I don’t have the software anymore, but also with other Diag. nothing gets out of it.

  • S60 T5

    I don’t have any questions… I just have to give my nervousness room 😉 Today at about 4:00 p.m. it’s time… I get my FIRST OWN VOLVO!!! A S60 T5 BJ 12/2001 97tkm Oh man what a… steam hammer called it my father! My father gets his V70 2.4T today. I’m so nervous, I can’t say! I’m going to turn from a Mazda Mx-3 1.6i 65kw to a 184kw Volvo! – I could burst with pride! For my father this is the 10th V olvo in a row, the first car I drove after the driver’s license was a 740GLT… since it was clear – a Volvo will be! And now eat one! Can jmd with a S60T5 tell me what to make so realistic about top speed? Don’t misunderstand, I’m not a “cold heater”, but why buy a T5? 🙂 A bit of what “high-octane” you need already in the blood! Hope this post doesn’t bother anyone… Thomas

  • Question about sitting at Inscription

    Hello together, have a question to Inscription driver of the XC 90: Could such a equipment unfortunately never see in natura. How good is actually the side stop here? In the brochure it looks as if there is more to be expected here than with normal equipment. According to Volvo there will be no optional seat selection at the XC 90 in the distant future, as e.g. with the V 70. The seats in the XC 90 sport probably nobody knows yet, but should be reserved for this. A configuration with various snaps however makes sport more expensive than the executive. Greetings bkpaul
