  • Smoke off / under the engine compartment in cold condition

    Hello municipality, my XC90 D5, Ez 12.2006, 185 Ps, 251,000 KM, automatic, makes the following problem: When starting in the cold state he smokes heavily under the engine room for about 30 seconds. If I have programmed the heater and start it, then it smokes violently for a few seconds. – Heating performance not even lukewarm. – Heating last week I had overtaken for 1,000,-€ – Heat exchanger I got today. Is installed after the holidays could then also the environmentally harmful and unpleasant smoke formation be finished? Many thanks for your tips in advance. Best regards from the Badischer, Volker

  • Ventilation / heating / actuators defective?!

    Hello, my moose doesn’t get really warm anymore. Even after a long drive only lukewarm air flows out of the nozzles. I have read a lot now and shut out the heat exchanger. The thermostat is also fine. It seems to me that it is more likely to lie on the actuators, because I hear a short surrehen every 4 seconds (about 0.5 seconds each) as if the actuators want to adjust. It sounds like they somehow sit tight and don’t find the position or something like that. Do I turn the heater once on cold and then on warm I hear a longer surrehen (adjust) and the short adjustment noises are temporarily gone, but it doesn’t get warm. Does one of you have tips? I read you can recalibrate the actuators. Does there have any experience? Thank you and greeting

  • Front car (leaking) pulls to the right……

    Hello, everybody! Yesterday I picked up my XC70 from the car. In order was given among others a chassis measurement. Already on the return trip I felt a slight “pull” or “drift” of the front car to the right, so that I was often busy with it, slightly to the left to steer. Today I drove a little longer and added, to the above mentioned “self-style”, that if I let go of the steering wheel on straight track, it immediately slightly to the right and the car of course also “pulls there”. Only light counter steering briefly help. Have on Wednesday again an appointment at that. But before it is so far, I would have liked to have caught up with you, dear elk driver community, again a few opinions. Has someone already done with it already experience? Is that what is going on there, explainable? I don’t want to show up quite without background knowledge at the appointment. Oh yes, if the question arises, yes, the tires are equally driven (both still around 5,5mm, was measured old).

  • 140 hp vacuum cleaner against 2.4T

    Hello everyone, consider whether I would like to exchange my 140 HP suction cup for a 2.4T. The 2.4T is from 2001, (like my 140 HP suction cup) has about 90,000 km and automatic (just want to have one automatic). It should be kept and the timing belt has already been changed. Question now: Does such an exchange or prefer to take a younger 2.4T ? The purchase price of the 2.4T would meet my finances (about 8,000 euros, from the dealer with guarantee). Thanks already for your feedback.

  • XC90: Water infiltration in the footroom

    That can’t be the case… Volvo gives the depth of the XC90 with 40cm or more, but the floor is not dense. For the second time, the floor and the carpet lying above the driver’s side is completely wet and partly wet on the passenger’s side, where the wetness comes clearly from the deepest point of the ground. Oh yes, I did not drive through a deep ford, but only washed my car thoroughly (by hand, with the water hose, without injecting the underbody large). Let’s see what the friendly one means to it; meanwhile the first inspection is due anyway. Then hopefully the new flap noise is switched off. And the fall at the back due to suspicious tyre wear is remeasured. And the paint defects are taken into consideration. Grusss Christoph, still satisfied with the XC90, but still a bit annoying.

  • Reliability XC90 vs. V70 (II)

    Hello, I fluctuate between a V70 P26 and an XC90 (1). I would like to operate both with an LPG system. What could be problematic with the XC90: All-wheel and automatic – with the V70 I would take one with a manual transmission and front drive (probably the 2.4 with 140 hp). With the XC90 you have no timing belt but a (hopefully) durable control chain. Who knows what it looks like with the spare parts supply, repair vulnerability and the general reliability of the two models? Greetings and thanks already Stefan

  • S80 – throttle valve unit defective

    Hello, I’m driving a Volvo S80, 2.9 liters, 200 hp, 6 zly. Bj, 10/98. Now I have the following problem: My on-board computer always displays the following messages: Brakes – Stop immediately, emissions – Stop safely – Start again. Maintenance – ABS required, maintenance STC required. The tacho fails and the car then drives only 40 km/h. Then I have to stop, restart and the problem is solved for a few minutes. I have the feeling that the problem occurs more frequently in warm weather than in cold weather. The Volvo dealer has read out the PC, cleaned the throttle unit and installed new software for it. However, the workshop computer shows: internal error throttle unit. Now I should buy a new unit. But what I don’t understand is the following: If the o.g. messages of my on-board computer are displayed, I can’t insert the 5th gear anymore, the return lights don’t go up and since yesterday the windows don’t go up automatically. This can’t all be related to the DK unit?

  • Do these original rims fit my XC90 moose?

    Hello, Servus to everyone, I wanted to ask in the round if these rims (see picture) fit on the Volvo XC90 2005. The seller writes: For Volvo XC90 2012-2016 255/45 R20 I’m a bit confused because the models have a different hub diameter from the “newer” ones from 2015. So can’t explain why the rims fit for both models (until 2014 and from 2015). Maybe someone has a photo of his moose with these rims. Thank you and LG

  • XC90 Used or new purchase/leasing ?

    Hello dear XC90 fan community, have been reading here for a long time, especially on the subject of XC90? Stand now at so slow before the decision in direction XC90. Since I have to pay the car from the private box, I swung between used purchase and repurchase or leasing. In case of leasing including special payment by selling today’s vehicle the monthly rate (at 10,000 deposit and 15,000 km/p.a.) would move at approx. 300 EUR/month. Thus, for 3 or 4 years would first be quiet and a super car available. What is absolutely surprising is the fact that used XC90 D5 (at best 7-seater) will be very expensively traded. At Mobile.de no XC90 with reasonable KM performance (would not buy a vehicle with more than 60,000 km) would be offered for under 32,000 EUR? Therefore, my motivation for buying a used (before facelift, if necessary only with 163 PS) is not particularly pronounced. At New Purchase I would receive a discount of 15 % as expensive as your observations.
