  • Help! 18″ CBS at S60

    Hello Leuts, some will remember, already a year ago I was looking for a few 18 inches for my S60. Now the standard 205ers have gone off and what is closer to do there than the upgrade NOW? Felge: BBS RK 7,5×18″ ET 42 Tires: Bridgestone S-03 Potenza 225/40 R18 The report I have now with me, there are the following conditions: 1.) By limiting the steering stop on the front axle, e.g. by Volvo parts no. 9473207, is a sufficient Fre 2.) If necessary, by rework in the area of the rear wheelhouse cut-out edge or the plastic inner fenders in this area, sufficient free access is to be achieved. In the same report, there is only one condition for the V70: the tyre load is not to be exceeded, which is no problem with the tyres with load 88. now my questions: has the V70 other wheelhouses front + rear, so that there are no runs ? Does any of you have similar tyre sizes? Were there problems with the registration, did something have to be changed on the vehicle? How problematic is a lowering of 18 inches? Is there any problem with this? Wouldn’t want to lower more than 40/30 or 30/30 (feathers only) Can you get around the steering stop limiters with the help of a hot air gun by pressing in the front inner decots? What do I have to keep in mind? Thank you very much ! Ciao, Eric

  • Consumption V70D5 Geartronic

    Tach people, do I have to worry? Now after 9000 km and 2 months have a calculated average consumption of 8.5 liters. I drive in the field service a lot mix, wants hot city/country/motorway. On the highway however I very rarely drive towards topspeed, rather so 150. I am also not a friend of Kavalierstarts o.รค. So all in all a nevertheless rather more sedated Volvo driver. Since the search function is switched off, I could not use the reports of other D5 friends. Would be nice if I lost a few words. Thank you very much.

  • Correct my statement regarding XC90

    So, I said in another Fred I find the XC90 pott ugly. I looked at it again…. It’s not sooo bad, I just don’t like the copied tail lights, that reminds me of the V70 (which I have). I saw him at the dealer with Heico rims and quite emboldened> 67,000โ‚ฌ . That’s also a word. Well, not for bad, Greeting Flodder

  • V70II 2.4T no longer starts

    Hello, I have been the proud owner of a V70II for 5 weeks, a car I always wanted to have. Unfortunately, he hasn’t started for a week and I’m in despair shortly before. I saved a while for it and then bought privately. Is year 2001, with the 2.4T and has run now ~340.000km. What I noticed in the time when he was still running: – jumps warm super bad – jerks in the standing gas when it is warm – has not gotten really warm despite a long distance ( what was done with new thermostat) – motor control light approached three days after purchase – error message P0422 Then one evening when I came home from work and wanted to continue 20 minutes later, it doesn’t start any more. It turns three times quite strong, “swallows then very briefly and afterwards it turns only weak and felt without pressure. To do anything more. It also doesn’t work. After that compression was measured – it is actually too low cylinder 1-3: ~8.5 bar Zylin the 4-5: ~9.5 bar In addition, another software was read out and it spit out an error message for the throttle flap: P0121. Now I have of course asked a few people who also screws and have quite different opinions. From: engine damage because simple too little compression up to can not be, that still has to start. I am done with the nerves and would like to drive it on. Gasoline arrives, ignition spark is available. ht has someone here still an idea or can generally say about the problems – I would be happy about any approach! Greetings, Basti

  • S80 error message ESP & ABS

    I write here for a good friend. He drives an S80 MY99 6 cylinder Automatic 150KW MKB: B6304S3 Now to his problem: the moose runs quite normal, suddenly the Lambda lamp comes out and at the same time ABS and ESP fails. When was read out by VIDA he unfortunately did not have to print the protocol. Can now only reflect what was told him. Lambda probes defective, ABS sensor defective, cat defective, or control part defective. Now one part after another should geta The connection between Kat and the ABS or ESP unit can only be explained to me that the cat is really over and the moose switches into the emergency program and switches things like ESP and ABS off. With my guess I might have been right there? Was there ever such a case and how was there the solution ?? Thanks already for your help. Greeting Patrick

  • Engine damage, house number and advice

    When I checked the compression, it was also clear – 3 cylinders are at 7-8 bar, one is only at 6bar, one is completely over. That is, a repair of the valve is no longer possible, because the piston rings are also through. If then replacement engine, the rest of the car is already repaired, economic is long gone, but I would like to save the car. My workshop has the following rough calculation a Motor 1500 Execution and installation 2500 with conversion of all secondary agregates + liquids. Believe that could get there – what do you say? That the engine is done is clear + question is whether you get the installation cheaper. Here it would be made with guarantee at least on the installation and by the professional without murklei and speedy.

  • Workshop history (e.g. entryable data)

    Who has already been able to view and/or find out about their Volvo workshop history? What is registered with date and km status? * Warranty services, recalls = I expect. * What about regular inspections/repairs and warranties (repairs)? * Other (e.g. timing belt change)? A cooperative operation is at least ready to provide oral information about the entries. Who can therefore report on its experiences? The “workshop history” is an Volvo Dtld. does not want to know the history of my vehicle, dto. formerly Italy. Volvo holds the hand over this data (so also the expression on the pages: “Property of Volvo Car Corporation”, although there is no ownership of data and data protection reasons for lack of indirect or direct personal reference, which is often not given for pure machine data, also does not apply. This is a hot topic, see only https://iot.taylorwessing.com/ …/. But that’s not the point here either, because I don’t want to know if I can get to know the history.

  • In love with the interim solution (presentation of my V70)

    Moin, my name is Chris and I have now since October a Volvo V70 II 2.4 with 140 Ps, from 2005. I bought this only as an interim solution because we were looking for a Mercedes E500 station wagon and spontaneously found none. Up to here everything normal, we bought the Volvo with 369,000km. Now he has 376.000km and I LOVE Him. We were with it on a short vacation and it is incredible how good this car, despite the age and the mileage drives. My wife and i I’ve had so many nice moments with the Swedes, I just can’t give it up anymore. Last week, a nice E 500 T was offered… and I refused because I don’t want to give up the Volvo. Now, of course, I have a problem, I have to make the Volvo “more beautiful”. And I know that it doesn’t make any sense economically, but… if the engine gets up at some point, can I install a Volvo Turbo engine with relatively little effort? in plan was now the following: driving a car, making optics, chassis and interior perfect, by the way building a V70 II Turbo engine and then when the day X comes just make a motor swap. Thanks for the answers

  • Which Volvo is the best?

    Hello together, I currently own a Renault Clio BJ 2004 and my parents have a V70 D5 Geartronic, in front of a V70 TDI. Now I am also looking for a Volvo and had gucked into a C70 2.4 with automatic and luxury package. But after a long time and a test drive I decided that the car is probably a little impractical and that I was already a little old for almost 10 years. Now I searched the Internet again and four other Volvos The Volvos:suche.mobile.de/vehicles/showDetails.html (there is currently an action there. I would then decide for the 1000 day warranty).mobile.de/vehicles/showDetails.html (is probably the most modern car)suche.mobile.de/vehicles/showDetails.htmlsuche.htmlsuche.de/vehicles/showDetails.htmlsuche.htmlsuche.htmlsuche.de/vehicles/showDetails.htmlsuche.de/vehicles/showDetails.htmlsuche.htmlsuche.htmlsuche. Motor with Torbo) What do you think is the best one? How do the motors differ from the performance and how are the size differences between the S80 and the S60 and the S40 respectively? Are the prices suitable so ok?

  • Volvo V70 Built 2003 EasyFix+MaxiCosi CabrioFix

    Good evening, with us has announced for the middle of the year offspring. ๐Ÿ™‚ Well, now it’s about moving our little angel safely in the moose through the large, wide world. We have considered the MaxiCosi CabrioFix with the associated EasyFix station. In the Volvo the required Isofix recordings are available on the rear, outer center seats. It’s actually about this combination of the baby shell and associated Isofix base for our moose is allowed. Lei I find on the Maxi-Cosi page only the information about the three-point seatbelt. Does any of you even have this combination and use it successfully? Thank you already in advance, wish everyone a nice evening, greeting Basti
