  • EQE – Intelligent recuperation: SA or series?

    Hi together, I have read this in one or the other topic, but have not yet found a definitive statement or even a source of it. Is the intelligent recuperation, i.e. the automatic braking/recuperation in front of the place sign/circuit etc. or when approaching a slower vehicle at the EQE in series included? (always and without use Distronic) Rumor is this only from Premium package and Fahrassi Plus, but not with Advanced Plus with the assistance package. Does anyone know any more? With the plug-ins this is a series and I don’t want to miss that anymore.

  • Low coolant – MKL

    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.

  • My XC90 conjures!?!

    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.

  • Buää doesn’t want my climate like this anymore….

    The joy with my air conditioning didn’t last long At the start of the journey the magnetic coupling switches and everything runs fine. After a few minutes the compressor switches off and doesn’t want to anymore. No reaction when the switches are activated or when the vehicle is restarted – Where is the error? -The magnetic coupling switches (for a while) -The relay (glove compartment) clicks audible I was told that the dryer gives up when the system is open? Can the pressure switch be the nuisance? Can the expansion valve be the nuisance? What does it have with the part on it? Please for help !!

  • Display “Sign in for maintenance”

    For a few days now, I have started my daily journeys with a hint on the display, which would like to remind me of an upcoming maintenance date. This maintenance is due in about 8 weeks or 5000km. I wonder who has now thought up this nonsense again. I realize that a reminder is useful, but at every start and almost 2 months before? Those who have kept themselves to all maintenance intervals so far are now punished by annoying warning messages, because those who have not taken it so precisely should get another hurdle in the way. One way to delete the message by keyboard combinations is apparently not, only the gear to the or does someone have a tip on this?

  • Mispurchasing my usage behavior?

    Hello people, have bought a V50 with 100kw and DPF and he has convinced me of purely driving power and visual, as well as of the equipment.Have bought the vehicle with 124,000km.The DPF is brand new. Drive it now for a good week and it was great so far.Consumption was about 6.8-7,3 L,with which I can live. I am not as sure from now on if I have the right car.Have now already the much quoted ruckeln and a consumption,which goes clearly over the 8L in the mix. that this has to do with the particle filter, I read and I could live with it.But I drive a lot of short distance and that has to do with my side job.I distribute the newspaper in the morning with the car and then I always drive only metly from road to road.That goes so about 2 hours every morning and then I drive directly to my main job.To do this I have about 10km through the newspapers and then over the BAB about 15km and then down again and then the usage is free and still about 10km the day of my main job.

  • 80,000 inspection C30 1.6D / Autoscout24

    Hello together, at my C30 1.6D (109hp), year 8 / 2007 the 80,000 inspection is on. Have obtained various offers, among others via Autoscout24. I am very surprised about the prices of an average of 1,200 EUR. Supposedly the particle filter has to be changed!? Does anyone have experience with the year of construction? Is this really necessary or is there an alternative to changing the filter (cleaning?). Have bought the vehicle 2 years ago with 40TKM, and drive mainly long distance. Thanks for your tips!

  • Headlamp wipers and icing

    Hello, as everyone has noticed now winter with all the inconveniences as every year. I drive now for over 20 years Volvo, now it has come to mind to me this morning what I have never thought of before. The headlight wipers and icing. What happens if in the morning hectic times this is forgotten and I wipe the windshield, the headlight cleaning system ergo also the small wipers are operated at the same time. A fuse by B engine of the small wiper burns through !!!! B would be very annoying since I have seen this year as bad……. the change of the engine s is to be handled What do you think about this, my idea would be to put the temporarily out of operation, so that this does not happen ?

  • V70 diesel BJ 2003 accelerates badly

    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
