  • Consumable route mix 1/3 highway : 2/3 motorway

    Hello friends of the great Sweden, I also plan to buy an XC90 T8 PHEV, since I have become a commuter between Wuppertal and Leverkusen since last year. I drive about 2400 km a month. With a simple route (only working distance) the motorway share is 28 km. Does anyone have a comparable route mix and can tell me something about its consumption values ? The planned XC90 has 389 hp. I just want to make sure that I did not charge myself in my fuel calculation. I expected a consumption in the burner operation of 7.5 and 8.5 L/100 km. Is this realistic ? Looking forward to your answers. Greeting, Oliver

  • Volvo S40 Seat Problem (plug)

    Moin, have the following problem built in new seats here however the plugs 0 fit each other, because completely other. Then I only had problems now I “framed” back and made the leather covers on my old frames. Now I have unfortunately missing 2 plugs on the passenger seat and I have to know how the cables belong to each other already tried out 1x but when reading out the friendly has turned out that it was probably not right. Now I would try on this way if someone had a problem already or maybe just take a look under his seat can look the plug assignment and post here? (my seats have Whips (not electric) SIPS (electrical) seat heating and a buckle recognition) Now still the 4 cables which have to be brought together. From the car following cables come a cable in black with white stroke, orange with white line and another blue with black stroke, white with black line from the seat goes from a cable with brown, blue filled in an orange cover (SIPS) and another one with black line (from orange)

  • Disposal premium, does anyone here participate????

    Tach zusammen! To prejudge it, I don’t like to do polemics here, as I have seen in relation to this topic in some other Unterforen. Rather, I would really be interested if someone from you would exchange his old elk (for whatever reasons) against the 2500 toads and a yearly or new car? As far as I am concerned, this is not possible. I only put 2650 flakes for my old, faithful bumps down last summer. In relation to the age and the condition of care at takeover the good runs really super stress-free. Even the comparison with my previous equipment he can not only stand up, but even surpasses most, as far as unsolicitedness is concerned, even clearly. And since I don’t have to make monthly advices, the insurance favorable and the tax payable and the consumption is also quite ok, I am absolutely satisfied. Since I am sitting in the car later quite a lot and also the various new creations again, I can make a comparison with comfort. And since I have to say that I have not had to drive in the same car with no more than 850.

  • Collection order OBX complete system incl. downpipe

    mealtime, until Sunday evening you have time to think about the following: in the neighbouring forum the demand for a stainless steel system from OBX is discussed with 2(!) downpipes (straight, angled). to be found is the whole here -> click me hard – lt. a forenmember, which has already installed the same system, should be the good material and provide good fitting accuracy – 3″ downpipe (as I said, 2 pcs.!), 2.5″ exhaust system – KAT each has to weld (let) – no ABE or anything else! please note!!! – sound samples are available at youtube – other tailpipes can be welded (let me make, in original I don’t like) price 350$ (ll. will be some more $ cheaper) shipping around 85$ (more accurate follows) anything between 7% and 13.9% duty EUst …at the end of the day around 400€ complete. if I have more info, but I still have to make this evening thought.

  • Window lifter goes down, but not always up

    Saturday, at the end of the week, the first time the driver-side window went down, but no more up. first at the X-ten attempt. since then, the whole thing happened several times, sometimes you press the switch 20 times and then the disc goes up again. today, the whole thing went without problems and the first time. something was with the switch units, I think to remember. but does this also apply to this problem?

  • Timing belt Volvo V70 2.5 TDI

    Hello first of all … I’ve registered here by a friend of mine, that you will get good advice if you need something. Have myself a Volvo V70 built in 1998 2.5 TDI which has already been 380 000 km down. I wanted to change the timing belt now. Since I don’t know so well I wanted to ask if it is enough if you change timing belts with tensioning roller and turning roller? Or should you change other parts too? There is still the V-belt and the V-belt and crankshaft … have no insight 🙁 Please now for your help and experiences…

  • Luggage compartment subdivision Traveller

    Dear Forists, a Traveller owner can help us: Is there a stable, so also to be loaded, trunk subdivision? So almost 2 floors? The brother at Citroën didn’t have that, but I have already seen videos where a subdivision in the trunk of the Traveller could be seen. Thanks in advance for your help Thilot

  • V70/1 – uneven braking / jerking!?

    Hi, I have a workshop appointment tomorrow, but I would like to ask you about my problem for opinions, the following problem: My V70/1 slows unevenly, I don’t know if you can call it jerking, it’s like an imbalance and you really wiggle back and forth (that’s really hard to describe ). When I bought it almost 3 years ago it was extreme, then the brakes were made and it was almost gone, but only almost, never really. Now it’s become stronger again, just when you’re on the road longer and it’s warmer, it gets so extreme that the whole car vibrates, that’s really bad. Does anyone have any idea?

  • Current 200K (184hp) and 280 V6 (231hp)

    Hello me it is about the engines in the current W204 (safe also in other series, E-Class, SLK, etc.) Who can help me with the following questions: 1. How is the internee designation of Mercedes for these engines? 2. How does the valve actuation (hydropump, cup plunger with Shims etc.) 3. How expensive is a possible valve adjustment? 4. are these engines permanently gas-resistant? (Autogas/LPG) Plan the purchase of a W204 with subsequent conversion to LPG (drive 30,000km p.a.) Thank you in advance for your information Greetings, Eric

  • Remarkable encounters. When and where?

    What do you think of it? Here’s my story: I was yesterday on the A 93 Regensburg in the direction of Holledau… In the limited 100’s I first overtook a beautiful Maserati quattroporte in the classic dark blue tone. At the height of Saalhaupt the speed limit was open and I ran my 3.0 Diesel GP4 in the direction of 230 +. A look into the rear-view mirror showed me that the quattroporte literally stuck on me… I immediately released the track and it raced away. Then the classic…A golf pulled out loosely on the left and braked the quattroporte fully! Worth seeing was the dust that the braking system of the quattroporte swirled up!!! After that I was right on the Maserati again… He left me such a thing from standing people… At 230 he pulled off at no look again! Respecting Diesel it was no one. I didn’t recommend it to VTS or Trofeati!
