  • The current environmental debate.!

    Hello As a Volvo driver it is clear which side I am on. That now our Chancellor is also vehemently strong for the car industry, I find it worrying. It is obvious that the production of fuel-eaters in the long term rather endangers the jobs. So slowly I ask, how strong the influence of the economy is and whether this is limited to the usual more or less legal bribes, or whether with so much money at stake (mord) threats are already common and present. Anyway, the limit of 120cc something is not the yellow of the egg. Why can you not also introduce pollution certificates in the car industry? All companies that only build fuel-eaters, pay on it, with many it will compensate itself and a few can profit from it just if they are smart. And that is twice because they remain competitive. And the consumer notices directly at the car price, where it hurts or he can save what, since most people with running costs like taxes or fuel-free as well as with a taste-free

  • Brakes

    Good evening dear community, would there have been a question: From which BJ was actually the EBA (Emergency Brake Assistance) installed in the S60? (only from 2002)? Or otherwise asked: Is it possible that my S60 T5 year 2oo1 has no one? (I and the subsequent traffic at least did not notice it so far and in my manual there is also nothing of it…but there is nothing in it from the built-in panic fkt…. In the manual of the current BJ it says that the EBA is integrated in the DSTC, and that my elk has yes.) Thank you in advance. Greetings Fox p.s.: Please no discussion about the meaning and nonsense of this assis, I have already read enough about it thanks to the search fkt.

  • Fog/light right XC90?

    Hello, the fog lamp in the XC 90 is left in the upper part of the bumper. Now I noticed yesterday, that the lamp on the right in the bumper also seems to have an incandescent lamp socket. (looks at it from the outside) This is actually without function, had thought that this only has the function of a reflector. Now the question: If you remodel these two as additional taillight, that is allowed. The function of the fog lamp must of course be preserved, e.g. with a 2 thread light. Technically I can do it, only what the TÜV uncles say about it. Thank you for your opinions in advance. Torsten who likes to rumbast on his vehicles……….

  • Put 1 liter of gasoline in the D5 and towed!

    Hello dear Volvo community! So I just got to the gas station, there I grab the tap and realize that I should just gas instead of diesel, should have hit me better the lightning. So! I packed exactly 1.1 liters of petrol (normal) in my D5 (BJ 2002) and did NOT start the car! Theoretically, another 70 liters of diesel on top of it could be again. The ADAC technology center advised me not to have the smallest quantities of gasoline could have devastating consequences (with the remark: if something goes wrong, I could drag the informant before the court – so the answer was clear!). Now my elk was just towed away and put in front of the fence at the local one. On the way there the tow trucker and I had to discuss whether a radio contribution to the rising steel price, of course also about influence factors on the price increase! That makes me very much. Both! Now it is right there, my Swedish living room made of steel and leather (assumably good prices, if you melt it), to the Vandals of the night made public by 2004!

  • Pegasus replica on my V70 II possible?

    Hello, I would like to mount the following Pegasus replica for the summer at my V70 II 2.4T (BJ 2003).18″ PEGASUS in the bay Since I am not too knowledgeable in the technical matters following my questions: Do the rims fit and with what conditions? Can and must one have them entered or is also a ABE sufficient? Unfortunately the seller is not interested in information, certainly also a reason not to buy from Him, but the offer seems to be quite cheap. Manyl. has also someone a good shopping tip for Pegasus rims, gladly also the copies. Thank you already in advance for your tips! Greeting RON

  • Chiptuning V70 2.4T year 2001

    Hello, drive a v70 2 year 2001, with 2.4L 200hp and geartronics. Kilometers currently 105000Km. Have read a lot about chip tuning here. Fa. Heico etc. is not sure if I buy chip tuning or rather a tuning box. Now my question: Does one of you already have experience with Lexmaul tuning boxes? The software can be played from the tuning box via the diagnostic connector. Thanks for your ideas! Dirk.g.

  • Original navigating?

    I swarm between two V70 D5 Momentum (185hp) with approx. 100000km. The one comes originally from Sweden and has auxiliary heating and detachable AHK the other although no auxiliary heating and AHK but the big Navi. The first costs € 14500 and the other € 15000 (with new tires + 1 set of sucked winter tires on steel rim). The first V70 from Sweden is super well maintained… the other good but not quite as good as the other. Are both leasing back runners. I want to drive the car so about 2 – 3 years and then sell again. I think therefore also after what would be better for a later sale. Is the Navi only an expensive player’s work (I have a TomTom otherwise) or do the people stand on it when selling… Does anyone have any advice / tip ? Thank you.

  • D5 with particle filter and 163 hp

    Hello municipality just passed over the following articles:http://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/d/75032 here still the text: Snip!———– Volvo will equip its five-cylinder diesel with a particle filter as standard from May 2005. The filter will be without additives and maintenance-free, the Swedish car manufacturer announced. The 163 hp diesel is used in the S60, V70, S80, XC 70 and XC 90 series. For the mid-range models S40 and V50 there is already a particle filter, for which Volvo currently requires 600 euros extra charge Snip!——– roof always gets a power cure on 185 hp. Or there are then again two versions like today with 2.4D and D5? Gruss Hobbes

  • Volvo S60 D5 Problems with injectors

    Dear Volvo friends, my Volvo S60 (BJ. 09/2003, 180,000 KM) is slowly driving me crazy. The problems started with light vibrations on the steering wheel in the speed range 1400-1700 u/min. especially under load and cold condition. After about 1 month it was clearly audible that the engine does not work properly – in idle run it nails, in the lower speed range it is powerless and swallowed itself. The moose father found that 4 of the 5 injectors do not have to work properly and be replaced – measured values of 5,7-30 mm3, (reference value max. 3 mm3), only one was still fully functional. The best thing was to replace all 5 – cost point 2000€!!! Meanwhile 4 of 5 injectors have already been replaced (at Bosch, all general overhauled), but the problems have remained the same. What do I do? I don’t know any more! If I had stayed right with the Volvo. What does the professional community say? Need reasonable and useful suggestions.
