Good Tach too, I’m a Newbie in this circle and greet all Volvo drivers! Up to now I didn’t have much on the cap with Volvo, except that my Bio-Pauker in the middle of the 70s drove a metallic blue 164 E with black leather cushions, a car that I find at that time like today megageil. Drive currently Passat Variant TDi (< 20 workshop dates in 5 J.) and had as successor an A6 out. Then on the weekend I tested the V70 D5 and since then back and forth !! Especially the engine makes every VAG diesel look old !! Have now configured a V70 and would have liked to have your opinion on it: V 70 COMFORT, sapphire black-met., partial leather sports seats front Sisalbeige, LM rim Mimas 205/55 R16, inserts Alu dark matt, climate automation, Dachspoiler, roof railing, beverage holder vo/hi, smoker package, reserve wheel full of luggage? Well THE FIGHT IS THE FISHING?

Hello dear forum, I am always more enthusiastic about the active activity in this forum. At the moment I only read with – but since I plan the purchase of an S60 R, I hope to be at the side soon also with advice and action. I still have one question: Do you know a source on the Internet in which the S 60 R in black is shown with beige or in silver with blue interior equipment ? Both cars were offered to me and I doubt which one it should become final. Every tip is helpful – the original brochure does not do so much therefore.

In the last week my Navi had moved me! At first my Navi only showed a displacement of approx. 100 m (at <-> = 100 m), at last it moved permanently on the airfield Münsterä-Osnabrück, when it was with me in the garage, although that of me is approx. 150 km away. Although not tragic, since at the moment there are no big drives, but annoying. Then the description of the Hidden-Menues in the RTI, and on Saturday I sat down with it and see: I was able to rearrange and adjust my Navi! For me as a non-technician already something really great! Anyway: now it works again, apparently also stable, since I have been on normal roads again and not on the airfield. Has someone ever had to do with such a “disorientation” and adjustment, or is it here a (dramatic?) drop-out? In any case: well that there is mt!

Have I got an XC70 Bj 2001 and would like to equip it with LPG-system. – How can I reach as wide a range as possible with little space consumption? – Is an underfloor tank possible with the type? – or maybe two tanks? – Can one separate the bottom of the spare wheel pit to mount a large hollow tank? Would be nice 85 L gross, much better of course 100 L. I’m curious about your tips!

Hello together, 3 years ago it started. The starter didn’t start. The magnet switch clacked. But more than that. A slight blow with hammer and rod helped then always. Until recently this maybe only occurred every 6 months. But then also beats did not help any more. Then I changed the starter. Was a new part from the Internet. However, it cost only 69 EUR. It then also had a month perfectly funtioned. But now the same thing: magnetic switch clacks. Starter does not start. Only after several keys turn or not at all. But then a knocker helps again. I have already replaced the starter relay, recharged the battery once, and checked the contacts of the battery, the starter and the crowd. All in order. Did I now catch a cheap starter, who gives up his mind already after a month or do you have any other ideas? Many greetings Ingo Klever PS: Since it is a turbo, unfortunately the starter is not so easy to change.

Hello people, since the retrofitting of Xenon is too expensive, I would like to use other means to get more light out of my V70 (the present one is really a little too weak for night trips). My idea: Nightbreaker build up. Problem: They break quickly (especially if you drive with light during the day). My idea: retrofit day running light to save the sensitive nightbreaker (I would only need it for the darkness). Of course day running light also costs money and the Umkau costs time. Therefore, the question is whether the effort is worth it at all, or whether you simply buy 1-2 times a year the particularly bright illuminants. What would you do? Greetings of the Swede

Hello, yesterday my V70 P26 (VFL from 2004, 2.5T with 209 hp) came back from the timing belt change and a few other repairs on the front axle and brake renewal… After a few kilometers of display “little coolant, safely stop”. Yesterday filled up accordingly and then drove in the sum of about 80 km. Today morning pure in’s car and same error message, coolant at minimum. 🙁 refilled but MKL remains on, no further information is visible in the display. I could not check whether coolers are leaking, as the parking area was all around wet due to permanent rain. Have autotechnically “2 left hands and only thumbs on it”, so I depend on the workshop.

Hello, my XC90 slowly worries me. He’s cracked the 200 tkm mark tonight, that’s a nice thing, unfortunately he has a seemingly insoluble problem. He can conjure coolant away!! That’s what follows. For about 2 years and now 60 Tkm cool water disappears! Performed work and search: First checked for external leaks and searched for Mitllerweil 8 times. A one-week stay at Volvo for diagnosis, with co test and leak test! WITHOUT success. There it was still so that you have filled up about every 6 to 9 weeks from Min on Max. Meanwhile I do this every Sunday. Daily driving distance 60 to 80 km. Heat exchanger in the interior area has no leakage that one could see or feel, the heater I have a week ago with a lot of fluffy egg through the distant fog light cannon? I still have a good idea to wear out this out. Unfortunately still disappears cool water. Kien slimm in the oil, no oil in the water. So CO test did not have to have the cool water here.

Servus zamm, I mainly drive low speed road (1500-2000 ) Since a few days my V70 has been accelerating worse and worse. Today the computer has reported “engine maintenance necessary”. The diesel filter is new. Running power about 380 000 km. The turbocharger whistles slightly but according to Volvomeister not yet alarming. Does anyone have an idea before I drive to Volvo? Can the TL fail? I can’t hear it anymore. Can the particulate filter be tight by driving too low? And could a fast highway tour blow the free? Thanks for every hint. Need to run the car as a fresh family father cheaply again. Greeting Benjamin
