Hello, I need your help: our 1997 V70 2.4 144PS has run over 180,000km by now. Except for the climate he never had anything. Since he spent his whole life with us, I can clearly say this. Unfortunately, however, some problems with an unround ride accumulate. It all started after the clutch exchange half a year ago. When starting it occasionally after complete domes, i.e. at the beginning of the acceleration, a large set made. This became better with time. However, three weeks ago he started to jerk slightly in the stand. The speed varied between 600 and 1100 rpm. After the next, somewhat rough start of the engine, the engine jerked very strongly and without interruption. However, it was not regular. Over 3500 rpm, however, the rushing disappeared. In the workshop, however, spark plugs, air filters were read again, … and it was gone. Now it started again. In addition to the jerking now also a strong vibrating. It was not possible to get rid of it with an irregular weight of 70km/min. But in the workshop, there was still a good time to compare.

Does the water pump slowly give up its mind??
Hi, since recently my C70 makes slight howling noises from the area of timing belts, V-belts, one hears the noises best when the engine is running in the standing or in the first gear slowly passing a wall. The timing belt, V-belts and belt tensioners were changed at 112000km and now after about 2 years and 132000km further makes me the howling noises from this area, what could be the water pump or?? because that was then not changed. It is a C70 Bj. 2000 2,0T thanks!

Oil consumption! Normal??
The previous owner of my elk had made an oil change at ATU, and they had the oil drain screw screwed. Then I went there and the have then sucked off the oil and there came only about 2.5 liters, then they meant that can not be everything and then made the drain screw out then, but there was really nothing left, i.e. I drove around with 2.5 liters of oil, but must say I looked about 2000km and poured a liter. But can that be the so much oil consumed?? I have no oil in the cooling water and the candles are also deer brown. It’s about a 96er 2.0 16v with 140hp PS: Whether you believe it or not, they have done everything on culant, I just paid for the oil and the filter. You may now mock me but I used to be an absolouter ATU Hasser, but in the last time only make good experiences with those.

Central locking by radio or key!
Hello dear moose, I do not have any problems with my V40! It’s all going well. But what happens if the central locking is total failure. Whether by radio and key! My V40 only has a door lock at the driver’s door and tailgate. Driver’s door opens and the tailgate also! But passenger.- right rear.- and left rear door no longer open or tank lid! What now? Am abroad, don’t speak the language of the country! How do I go on? How do I get my passengers into the car?

XC60 D5 high oil consumption.. can that be ?
Moin from Hamburg, I have had an XC60 D5 AWD Autom. with 215 hp. from 09.2012 Km performance now 69,000. The car was bought in Stuttgart by a Volvo dealer and is perfectly maintained. At 61,800km an oil change was made. When I came back from the Sweden vacation, the car kindly asked for half a liter of oil. KM stand about 64,300km. I thought, well, the Volvojungs have given quite a little gift. So a good half refilled… Then at 67,000km again this indicator, it disappeared this time a three-quarter liter in the engine. Today, at 69,000km my car shows me again, that it is from the liquid gold moose… guessing ..jepp, it wants a whole liter… My driving profile is by the way Landstr. and Deich (we have in the Hamburg Umland abundantly), highway occasionally, but no full gas steps. At a visual inspection I could not detect any damp spots on the engine or below. Have just spoken with a Volvo dealer; a consumption of about 15km, I can’t have to believe in the same standard of oil.

From the XC60 back to the V70 (Black Edition) – and happy
Hello, after three years of XC60 I am now back to the V70 in the equipment variant Black Edition and am impressed how much higher quality the V70 finally is. Sure, the XC60 is a great car and I am very, very happy to drive it, but I could never get used to the very rumbled chassis. The V70 is, despite sports suspension, much more comfortable to drive and the materials and workmanship quality are a different class. That starts already when the doors are closed, the appearance of the interior equipment up to the tailgate – really great! And the new engine… so if the on-board computer is also close and after the start-up phase the consumption also sinks, I am very happy here too.

Water in the interior
Dear experts, this morning I had to slow down a little bit more and it happened exactly what happened when it rained before: A flood of water ran down the windshield. It’s new, however, that it ran down on the inside of the disc this time! Is this a typical weakness? Next week I already have an appointment in the workshop because of the tailgate. I’m honestly a little angry, because I bought the vehicle a week ago from a renowned Volvo center, who have the reputation that their vehicles are a bit more expensive than others, but really perfect. I could have bought another old one (if there were any). I didn’t have such problems!

Any possible new breakdown with old injectors ?
Auto VW CADDY DIESEL 1.6 I was abroad in Europe and on the motorway the engine failed. Towing service -> Injector had to be replaced. 1200€ cost this, for such a tiny part including removal and installation. That was injector number 2. Injector number 1 I had to have cleaned already 6 months ago for exactly the same reason, but that cost half. The mechanic said, if you change one of these pairs of 2, often the other is broken a short time later. Well, that 3 and 4 still did not have to be handled. But that also means that the car is a driving breakdown that can be broken at any time. Now I am layman, therefore I ask, what is right about it? Was the price overpriced, what cost injectors in the purchase? Can I exchange such possibly on the way? What are your ideas to solve the problem sustainably and cheaply? Summary: injector 1 cleaned, injector 2 exchanged, injector 3 and 4 unapprobed.

Different instruments at the Ocean Race?
Hello, just can’t find an explanation why some V60 Ocean Race instrumentation with distinctive aluminum look and others don’t. Have seen both variants on pictures and videos. According to the price list, the Ocean Race has only the “normal” instruments. Does it have anything to do with the choice of the engine? Or is there chrome with any “extra” to it? Pictures are only for illustration and are not from the V60 Ocean Race, that’s clear to me. Just about the principle of comparability.

Honda Civic brakes change back like ?
Meal I have to change the discs on my Honda Civic EP2 Built 2004 on the rear axle and the pads from you has a short instruction for it. On the front axle I have changed them only on the rear axle it is a bit more elaborate because of the brake piston and the hand brake. Once 4 years ago had changed the complete brakes front and back itself, however, I had to do much more on the rear axle than on the front axle. Since this is already 4 years ago and I can not remember so exactly it would be nice if someone could give me a short instruction again (for rear axle).
