Hello dear Volvo community, I bought a Volvo V70R from priva MJ 98 with approx. 200 000 KM. I thought for a long time because the body had some used tracks but nevertheless closed up. The owner was a trained screwdriver and a Volvofan who sold his whole Volvo collection because of illness. I looked at the car last weekend, and looked at it for 2 hours. Except for the Karrosserie and a Kaputter Nebler was all in order. Today I picked up the car with my girlfriend in the convoy, about 200 km away from home. Tonight I took the car in the garge in the magnifying glass!! Since much of the oil on the oil measuring rod was not even at the lowest mark. The oil cover is also directed at petrol, but it probably happens. The pre-circuiter drove every day maybe 35 km to work and back! So not so far I can find a turbo is a little oily, in the charging air hoses is just an oil film. In the clothing under the cooler package is oil as well as on the forum, just like the turbo is consumed by a lot.

Hello, I hope I’m here in the right forum. Hello, a friend of mine drives a Volvo C70 cabrio with the 2.5T engine. One of the first ones that were built from 2000. The engine has now almost 270tkm on the clock and there are some things that need to be done. The clutch must be made absolutely, the timing belt, water pump also because it loses cooling water, ZKD has to be new and somewhere the turbo leaks, it whistles so nen bissle past the side. The workshop meant that there is a total damage, because the engine goes into the thousands and the car is not worth more. Right you, could be very expensive, therefore it will be made itself and we have decided to take the engine out. We have from April the possibility to bunker the car and to work on it. And if the engine is once outside, you will get comfortable to exchange all parts and to check it out. The question is now, since the head has to go down anyway, what can or should be done right with the valve seat and the valve loop, or if it is enough to make the piston ring again?

Hello, I have a volatile phenomenon, but it doesn’t stop every time. if I press my flasher no matter if left or right, it doesn’t blink, but the flasher just lights up until I take out the flasher. I assume that it is on the relay, if yes, where is the flasher relay?? A small question I would have in addition. If the cam crankshaft sensor has so slow a blow away, and the engine does not start now and then, then the motor control light lights up?? With the antenna ring nothing should normally light up. With me nothing lights up if the engine doesn’t want to start. I know that from other car manufacturers that lights up the motor control light when the cam crankshaft sensor has a blow away, so I ask, because then I know where I have to start looking. Because in addition, I have the problem. Before I forget it, it is a C70 2.0 year 2000 Thanks and a nice weekend!

There is an unergonomic place in the 850: the ceiling light switch. I fiddle every time before I found the thing in the dark, I often catch the single buttons instead of the central toggle switch. Since one or the other may be as good as me, the idea comes to me to install a discreet lighting in the switch. If this works, I would of course also like to introduce it here. I would like to have an extra ceiling light module for this project, so immediately the question: Does someone have one left or can remove one from a battle vehicle? Don’t worry: I would pay for this quite normally, I wouldn’t have given it anything (if someone would spend it for the purpose, but I wouldn’t mind …).

For my 855 I’ve had a new end pot for ages, because it sounds a little very ‘sporty’. But I never really got to change it – ‘Sound’ since about 20TKM is the same and consumption is ok. I have a V70I since today, which just sounds ‘sch.ße’, because there is obviously more than one hole in it. Vlt. also somewhere in the pipe – I haven’t been lying under it yet. After some googley I noticed, the different provider for both elks offer the same pot. 850 has type 714 (2.0, 10V, 93 KW) V70 has type 740 (2.5, 20V, 125 KW) After all, the V70 has 32 KW more and would like to get rid of something more ‘air’ … !? D.h. could / would I imagine the at least of pipe a little bigger dimensioned. Are the VK all just deppert / no plan / wrong info or fits the nevertheless? Info and experiences please.
