  • Sports exhaust for the “R” by Mr Swedensport

    Servus, for spring I want to do something good to my R and think now if I should buy him a sports exhaust. Does anyone have experience with the sports exhaust from MR Swedensport? What is the sound? is it louder in the interior? What is the quality? Thanks and greetings Jochen P.S. Sufu I have already used

  • DSTC probably defective!

    Hi, yesterday I was once again on a driving safety training of the ADAC. Incidentally, during this training there was an absolutely identical XC90 V8 with identical tyres (Pirelli Ice&Snow) and even the same profile depth there. At the last driving training one year ago I had massive problems with the V8 in the watered circular track: the vehicle broke out at the lowest speeds at the rear. At that time I pushed the rear tyres driven at the limit (1mm above the mark) N. Other XC90 (e.g. XC70D5) didn’t have this problem at the time either. This time exactly the same picture: My XC90 breaks out already from about 30 km/h HINTEN on the slip surface. And this is exactly what the DSTC is supposed to prevent, it regulates the wheels so that the car breaks out at best in the front. Also, the ADAC trainers have not been able to detect control action on the wheels! Since an identical comparison vehicle was there, we have the same driving situation with the other V8 gem eight: The car was also by force not to be moved to a rear outburst – the rule intervention was very fast and clearly visible. Even with the DSTC switched off (actually only reduced) there was no rear outburst to be generated in the comparison XC, but an earlier outburst at the front. In my case, there was no change at all with the DSTC switched off – the car also breaks out immediately at the rear! e to use the car in the front and e.g. not to let the tree that may be present hit the weaker side. And it doesn’t. And I did my first training a month after taking over the car – so it doesn’t work right since the beginning. There have never been any error messages in Vida. Ergo: I emailed my dealer the above description today and asked him to make a short-term bug fix with Volvo help. For me, this is a mistake in e in the security system completely unaccetable! Have a nice evening Jürgen

  • Drive shaft screw away !!!!

    Hello people, was brave today and hope that there is no more snow. So I pulled up the summer slurps. And now it comes: On the driver side is in the ANTI-FREE NO SEMI-FRAUD MORE !! How can this be ??????????????????, but the Volvo cover cap was on it, this screw can not just be lost like that ?????? Therefore now some very important questions: 1.Can I drive DANGEROS? Probably I drive already tens of thousand kilometers in this condition 2. If I now the S 3. I have already found suit torque via SUFU, but what does e.g. 25 NM plus 90° mean? 4. Which screws should I take, old version 30714151, or 30714142, which should probably be the “new” one, but probably is not clear if those are only for the AWD? 5. I have already for some time when inserting the first gear in the stand a clear clack. The friendly has diagnosed the clutch , which was also my guess. Can it be that it is due to the missing shraube ? I thank everyone in advance for the quick help ! makeve …. … leaves the elk now rather in the garage …

  • Exchange of door rubbers useful?

    Moin, was surprised that I have not found this in the SuFu yet My elk (V70 D5 EZ 02) now has 257 tkm down. For some time now it is a bit louder than at the beginning of our “relationship” (at 135 tkm) or as a new car. Well on my second car it does not reach by far At the driver and passenger door the door rubbers are no longer ok. In the upper area (to the back door) they are definitely broken. Can someone tell me about the cost of the rubbers? And what else I still have more interested, does it really bring a lot or has the engine also increased in volume over time and contributes to the larger part? There are just loud driving noises that disturb when cruising.

  • What do you think of this VOLVO S80?

    Seen in the net an interesting Volvo S80 and would like to know as a non-VOLVO expert what your connoisseur thinks of it 😉 Here the data: VOLVO S80 2.0 T 120 kw (163PS) EZ 02/2000 77,581 km 1 previous owner, check booklet (last service at 65089 km) grey (accurate shade would be nice) ESP, ABS, automatic climate control, leather equipment, seat heating, cruise control, telephone FSE (plant mounted) middle armrest, parking aid, NSW, flat interior mirror, electric window lifter, front side airbags, alarm rack e, elek. outdoor mirror, multifunk. leather steering wheel, that would be so important and what I noticed.. Outside the vehicle has a few small scratchers in the rear in the right fender area and in the left front area, whereby also the glass of the left NSW got a crack. But will be replaced on request and also the scratches will be treated. Price would be 850€ incl. 1 year warranty. Is the price i.o. ? What costs come to me in the near future (prices for service and replacements) ile…) What specific flaws should be taken into account? Thank you very much to you. Here are a few more pictures.

  • Track ok, car always pulls to the right and steering wheel is crooked

    I was already the 3rd time at the track measured with my S80(2x other workshop). The following problem always occurs: The track etc. is 100% in the tolerance range of the manufacturer specifications. The car drives as far as normal and straight ahead, but the steering wheel stands a little to the right. But if you make a short jerk at the steering wheel once, the steering wheel resets itself to the starting position and the car then runs to the right to the road edge. It has also been checked everything It has nothing to do with it. I’m slowly lost and I’m tired of driving into another workshop all the time. It has to be normal to adjust???!!! Does anyone have any idea what it might be about?

  • for the x-th time: MP3 to HU-XXX

    Hello together. I wanted to warm up the thread about MP3 player instead of changer at HU-603http://www.motor-talk.de/showthread.php?… where it was abruptly and probably unsuccessfully canceled. The state of affairs was that an external MP3 player should be connected as an alternative to zm Volvo CD changer. This should work after playing a software that normally only uses the changer. Is it now correct that the recording of the software makes it possible to select the changer as a source on the radio? This does not appear as a source without playing the software as a possible source at all? In my case I can choose the missing changer. So can I assume that there was a changer in my case? And I am one step further? Where is the original changer normally installed? Maybe even that’s still the case. and one of you would just have to sell me the matching changer until the MP3 alternative works.

  • What wipers?

    Hello together I wanted to buy new disk wipes for my V70 Mod 06 today. According to the brochure, there are 966S from Bosch, but according to the seller (ATU) there are not yet to buy Are there good and clever, or do I have to take originals from Volvo? Greeting Oliver

  • Experience with used car guarantees

    Hello together! I got a used car warranty from MultiPart for free for my used S60. Now I have the problem, the actually natural things, such as a defective climate sensor are not paid. What experiences did you have with such warranty insurances? At the moment I am actually quite annoyed by the topic. This guarantee is for the most part eye-wishing… Is there any experience with the providers? Mfg Stephan
