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 ?

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?

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.

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.

My V 70 D5 Premium didn’t pass the AU for the first time today with 176tsd. Something with the turbocharger, my unfriendly opinion. Error message is PO 244 charging pressure limitation magnetic valve out of order. The turbo is gone, the valve, if that were it, would come 800 teuros, the complete Turbo 1000 without installation. I don’t trust the roasting, the car runs like cut, 1200 km with a tank in mixed operation, from time to time, once a month comes the message: engine maintenance required after locking at 2500 touring. Shut down and start again was the solution until now. As a woman I don’t trust a mechanic, they always hold you for stupid and clapping in the most expensive rep. Does anyone here know the message and has an idea for the solution? Thank you and nice greetings!

Hello – my S60 2.4T 8/2001 has a problem: During the ride it keeps perfectly 90°C cooling average emlerature. I noticed by chance in the Torque that it goes clearly up at the stand (have stopped at 104°C). After that I caught my little Volvo tester. Both fan levels are off without air conditioning. I activate the climate, goes fan level 1 to ON. Temp rises however as said over 90… When should fan 2 trigger and what activates it? Recently I kicked it half way, then the fans ran after full pot – so as the fans still went without problems. Thernostat is also new since I have never reached more than 78°C in winter… Thanks for your help!!!
