  • € 400 for the 1st inspection V70 D5?

    Dear Mitelche, although it is already a few days ago that I received the invoice, I am still pissed off. € 400 for the first inspection at 20,000 Km! What should then the 80,000 cost then? At my last V70 D5 two years ago the first cost 300 Öre (which I did not find cheap). Before I call my friend now and ask if he still has all the lattes in the cellar, I would like to ask what your experiences are like. Greeting and thank you in advance.

  • Very loud motor noise since today

    Servus. My xc kills my mind. Call my wife, the car is so loud, she doesn’t listen to the music anymore. I said, see if the oil stand fits and come home. Joar. Oil stand fits. I immediately said the exhaust is broken from the noise. Well, the noise is in front of the engine and not behind the engine! But it doesn’t sound like a grinding bearing. Turbo works with the gas. I have already found some entries because of hydropulse. Only if they can produce such a noise?? Could that come from the camshafts? The last engine died because of the broken camshaft bridges… What do you think? Achja, 2.4 l D5 motor with 120kw 163ps Andi

  • personal consumption record!

    Hi guys! I finally made it today. 4.4l consumption on average! I have S60 2.4D with chip. I drove it very gently with this tank filling. And so it doesn’t mean “He can tell us a lot” I also took proof photos:http://www.vw-bluediamond.de/private/tank1.jpg Here’s another pic where the tank needle was located:http://www.vw-bluediamond.de/private/tank2.jpg Here’s the daily mileage level. You have to count 1,000km.http://www.vw-bluediamond.de/private/tank3.jpg And here’s the result that the on-board computer calculated for the range after the tanking…;-)http://www.vw-bluediamond.de/private/tank4.jpg What were your best consumption values?

  • defective xenonl light; ambiguity of the socket and the correct burner selection

    Hello people, the xenon light on the passenger side has said goodbye and only lights up more red. I have read numerous xenon threads now and am now somewhat unsure. Vehicle is an XC70 D5, MJ ’07 with bi-xenon without cornering light. In my manual the D1S socket is indicated. However, in the threads is always only about D2. Sockel. In addition, I also entered my vehicle with a D1S burner at Amazon, and he writes to me that these are not suitable for my vehicle. Don’t understand this completely now…. Should I trust my manual, or can there be something wrongly stated? Besides, I can’t opt for a specific lamp: for selection are among others -) Osram Xenarc Nightbreaker unlimited -) Osram Xenarc Cool Blue Intense but also Philips lamps. For me maximum illumination is most important, even in the case of rain. “Extreme” blue rather not so. Who can help me?

  • S60 2,4t with Prins vsi gas system, problem!!!!

    Hello Volvofans, I bought a Volvo s60 2.4t Bj 2001 with manual transmission and 150tkm. About 1.5 months ago I installed a Prins vsi car gas system, the Flashlube system was used for valve protection. Now my problem: right after the installation the car ran perfectly, after approx. one week and 500km on gas the car started at constant speed (approx. 80kmh, Thempomat, 5th gear) to jerking, then feels as if one once gives full throttle and then switches into the emergency run (not faster than 80kmh and only on 4 cylinders), besides, a yellow warning light goes on: engine system, maintenance urgently. The next day on the way to the workshop the error goes off by itself, in the BC is no fault any more, when reading out it also shows no errors. In the gasoline operation it seems normal. Yesterday I had the problem again, only the addition the exhaust control lamp with the attack, error: po422 something with the cat. Has it been possible for you to know what your plant is completely working.

  • V70 Problems with on-board electronics ?

    Hello Have on Saturday resp. Sunday made some “interesting” experiences with my elk. 1. Drive car in underground garage, park, get out and close LOCK at the push of a button. When we came back about 2 hours later, all orange flash lamps with dipped light lit. What could have happened there? 2. On Sunday something drove up a mountain and parked car. Shortly after getting out the cooling fan ran under the bonnet; is in itself nothing extraordinary. An hour later back at the car and marvel that the fan still rotates. Open door and get in. Uuups, why does the air come out to the vents? Ignition key was not yet in the ignition lock at this time! Has someone found something similar ?

  • Geartronic spins- How to repair?

    The search function is unfortunately still out of order, therefore my new thread. My Geartronic recently spins. Either it doesn’t turn at all, or switches like crazy into gears, where it has nothing to look for. I suspect that the electronic control on the gearbox, or the Mechatronic has suffered damage due to the extreme heat effect of the engine (T6). The heat problem has been solved by now, but now the gear has to be repaired. The Geartronic seems to be a GM (Opel) gear (Made in USA). Maybe someone knows who can repair this type of gear in North Rhine-Westphalia cost-effectively?

  • XC90 suspension: Very, very “straff”

    Dear XC90 friends, I’ve had my XC90 D5 since the end of May and now notice that the – as also found in the MOT. “somewhat tight” suspension tuning more resembles a full-blown rumbling. Every channel cover and every road patch is mercilessly communicated – partly the whole car wobbles. That can’t be wanted with a travel car like this, right? Who has similar experiences? Thank you in advance.

  • Severe storm: rain sensor and DSTC

    Hello together, once again the popular topic rain sensor: I have become accustomed to the way it works, but what the RS did yesterday was the crowning. I have the adjustment ring on the steering wheel lever normally in the lowest position. I get well used to that. But yesterday then that means: Flood-like rain, car in front of me, the spray swirls up, windshield wipers run at the fastest speed (as determined by the RS), then it happens. The wipers change from highest speed abruptly into interval mode!!! At about 80km/h this means an estimated 20m blind flight!! There I was baff. Luckily then I am not the one who goes into panic on the brake. Whether there is a GE jump on it? at the visibility and water conditions had changed to my forgiving nox… Have the RS then set a level more sensitive then later (m.M. after too early) I would like to drive into the next higher speed, but always better than not to see anything. I’m very receptive to the topic of DSTC, but have only reacted to a lot of praise on a piece of music.
