  • Used V90 CC D4 purchased. Is there anything to watch out for?

    Hello, I get tomorrow my used Volvo V90 CC D4 Pro Built 3/2018 96,000 km and would like to inform me if there is something I should pay attention to. I have already searched the forums, but not found much. Maybe you have links where I can find something else or you write me experiences. Since it was an online purchase in the lockdown I could only look at the Volvo in photos and only at the used car place. Originally the Volvo drove a Volvo employee in Gothenburg and the service was done at Bilia in Sweden and the last at Volvo Göteborg AB. Then the Volvo was imported to Austria. Thanks already.

  • I’m back; oil lamp burns after AB ride, oil level cold but okay???

    Hello dear community, after the SuFu has not delivered me a suitable result my question: For a long time I have been thinking about the near/after heavy motorway rides the oil control light burns (after a short stop) Yesterday as well, today I checked the oil level with cold engine and it was ok. Otherwise I refilled it quickly. I know that the good oil needs (despite changing oil traps). But why does the lamp burn even though there is enough oil on it? I change oil regularly (10 W40) with filter (with check valve from the accessories; no original)

  • volvo 850 Combi deeper / which mature ? / tyre stretching

    Moin, eternally chewed theme, unfortunately in the threads a lot of scrap and nonsense. The following: car: Volvo 850 Kombi, ’96, 106 KW, 2345ccm ( HSN/TSN 9101 741 ) I have now a coilover suspension, should next week. ( TA- Technix ) Of course then comes up in better weather after the winter also a new set rims/tires. Now I have read and heard of course, rim dealers often seem to know no more than on the homepage. I would like to go a little bigger than the original ones, 17″ it should already be ( or the 16″ at max. lower setting of about 60mm). I would like to come low, however, do not know how that goes with the wheelhouse and the penway. Who knows? I would like to ride 16×8,5 with a “stretched” 195/40/16. ( currently 205/50/16 on 6.5) I think original volvo, which look like a propeller.) Which ET I have to consider ? ( what the TÜV says is not quite a bit more difficult.

  • 99er C70 Turbo with 193 hp – Problems with the throttle valve?

    Hi! We have a C70 convertible built in 1999 with the 2.4 turbo engine and 193 hp with manual circuit. Now the Cab has approx. 100,000 KM running power and I suspect problems with the throttle flap because you can read about it. In the idle run the cabrio “saws” and goes almost out – if you switch off the climate it runs a bit better. In normal driving mode there are no coarser problems otherwise. Is this definitely because of the throttle flap or do other things come into question which you could test or try? Error reading results no error and even during the ride there is no warning light or engine control – there is actually no sense in it as said quite well…. What would you recommend? The throttle flap expand (must the intake bender down now or not? – one reads once so and once so…) and they clean well and so on. or does it have no meaning at all? How long do you need about it? This company Ebay article number: 310239449160 would repair the DK for 235 Euro + shipping. What is to keep your tips?

  • Volvo V50 2005, windshield wiper no longer after changing the heat exchanger

    Hello together, after I froze last winter, because my heating did not work, I decided last week to venture to the project heating => heat exchanger switch. After watching various videos on the topic I then successfully completed the change last weekend (slip 10h). Now unfortunately the big one but… This morning I had to realize that my windscreen wipers at the front no longer work, but the wiper at the back and also the wiper water pump/ nozzles work at the back and at the front. I have no idea where, how, what I forgot? or possibly damaged. The fuse in the engine room No.17 is healing. I hope you have ideas!!!

  • Volvo V50 T5 error message reduced performance

    Dear community, I have been hoping for some time now to rule out a problem with my Volvo V50 T5 automatic 220 hp. When driving a motorway with switched-on cruiser he suddenly knocked out of it and thwarted the power. I have restarted the vehicle and was able to continue driving with the error message in the BC ”decreased power”. At the time the vehicle had felt still about 170 hp. After deleting the error memory the error message came since only when I activated the cruiser. In the error memory the following errors were filed / Bosch Tester: – 21AD Long-term mixture control, lower partial load/component function at the control stop – 1230 air mass meter signal too low – 614B outlet shaft control position Faulty From this realization I have now changed the air mass meter, which unfortunately did not bring any improvement. After deleting the fault memory and restarting the vehicle, the error message has not been checked again.

  • New cooler due?

    Servus, actually I was happy not to have to report with problems after a long time, but today it is again so far on the highway I noticed that something was wrong with the acceleration and then I opened up moderately to home and engine room. Immediately I noticed that from the cooler on the top left (if you are standing in front) white foam is coming out (see picture). Is after 310,000 km just the cooler over now or do I have to worry about causes? 1 week ago I noticed that the water tank licked down on the hose (dropwise). Temperature normal, footroom dry on both sides, no fog inside/windshield, oil change carried out 3 weeks ago, oil filler cap rope rod no foam/slam. As usual used with Scandix or alternative at bay, approx. cost for material and work? Thank you Coray

  • unofficial MT meeting on 18.08.2012 near HH

    I’d like to take advantage of the event and invite you to a small barbecue party. I’m very happy to have all the members of DIES Subforum. The meeting will take place on/around/in my Schrauberhalle. Since the volunteer machine from far away Bavaria is on its way to the north to have “a few small things” straightened up, I’d like to see the “thick hangover” as a spare part donor not far away, and also our summer night 80 would like to take advantage of the opportunity to carry out her dream, which I hope was acquired until then… (Otherwise she promised to come with the bike) With the “usual suspects” I could imagine that they will also appear… (jonny, hjalmi, L15W…, arsic, etc) Tschok is still on holiday. But elegant850 could also be over “printing”, so let’s go now with the software… Who else would like to appear here in the Thread, can give a coffee, a box for Beck’s and give a coffee and a little bit of knowledge.

  • Insolent or my new annoyance…

    Hello, As you can see from my Sig., I drive a V70 III D5 which was brought with Heico to 240 hp (+ a bit) because it was a bit lame to me just above. Thanks Heico am resp. I was satisfied with it to this day. As said, BIS HERE!!! Today I could test the (new) car of my better half on longer distance. And now I am really something of Sauer…!!! That’s where this Blöde S60 drives as D3 with stink normal 163 Hottehühs almost as fast as my for expensive money get under V70 D5 which should be clearly stronger from home. To this end he consumes also almost 2 liters less than mine! That’s probably the very last and so something of shameless!!! That’s certainly not possible! Please for your opinion on such outrageous behavior and how I should now be towards Volvo behavior! Greeting Michael Der (almost) is envious !!!
