  • XC60 HEICO & Original Accessories

    Hello colleagues, I’ve been fanning around for a long time now – I’ve searched the forums and consulted them with friends. But now I’m looking forward to this community because the probability of competent and stylish opinions is more likely to be found here:Ordered an XC60, 2.4D, 170PS, DRIVe FWD // in WEISS was planned the bodykit front/back, by Heico, including exhaust system (4 tube). Everything white painted (also the original side skirts) My problem: I might be a bit “to much” of the 4-pipes. I’d rather have the 2 tube version – but this is not compatible with the Heico kit. This results for me the following possibilities: 1) nevertheless the Heico kit incl. 4-tube solution 2) original kit rear and simply paint white, including 2-tube solution by Heico 3) original kit rear incl. “Alu” accessories back, incl. 2-tube solution by Heico 4) original kit back incl. “Alu” accessories back (allerdings in white lacquered, incl. 2-tube solution by Heico).

  • Rugging at the Alhambra Diesel

    Hello forum, I drive a Seat Alhambra, 1.9 TDI pump nozzle, 2004 with 75,000km. For a few weeks I noticed when driving in the speed range of 1500-2000 tours that my car is jerking. The whole thing is independent of the speed and gear, the speed makes up. If you exceed the 2000 tours, the jerking is over. Can someone give me a tip what that can be? I have heard about a two-mass swing wheel? Can it be that? What symptoms would it have to occur if this is broken? Are there any culling rules with a four-year-old car? Who already has experience with such repairs. Maybe it’s also something else, but what can it be. If you get hot gas, then you don’t really burn it. But I can’t always give a sharp gas. Thanks for every hint. haprisi

  • Electrical sliding door rear right causes problems

    Good evening I have recently been a problem with our right sliding door at the back right! You press the key or the buttons at the door or in the center console want to open the door or they flash the switches! I recently renewed the battery and the actuator of the tank flap because it has no longer locked itself when closing the car! Error memory gives no information about it! no errors saved! When you press the tank flap you stop working the lock in the door! But the door does not open! Maybe someone can help me further! Thank you!

    Hello, it’s about my wife’s car. It’s a Seat Alhambra N7 bj 2011. The error is the following. The windscreen wiper motor has no function and cannot be activated.

These errors suddenly all came together! Who could help me here? Very important is the windscreen wiper motor first of all!

  • Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric2…. but which one? Problem with replacement! Identification aid required!

    Hello Phaeton driver! I have received a brand new set of Goodyear Eagle F1 Assymetric 2 from the VW customer service workshop in Zwickau. Like so many others, whose car was before delivery to your VW dealer in Zwickau for inspection and preparation. When researching the price and which tires could be an alternative after that, I noticed that many tyre dealers have insane price differences. According to the Goodyear website, there are indeed three different versions of this tyre, pictures attached. The different types are listed there also with 2 different product numbers and also considerably different RRP. Irtumm on my part is virtually excluded. However, on my tires I find no indication that would help me find out which type is installed with me. If I had to renew 1 tyre at short notice due to a defect, the purchase of the same tyre would be desirable. Whether the tyre dealer, who really has to follow the development of many tyre brands, which I would have to doubt on the screen. Therefore, I would like to be prepared.

  • Error code 02071 Local data bus – 014 broken + 2 other errors

    Yesterday I was at least with a user of the Facebook Phaeton group in Rathenow and maybe I checked out my fat guy via VCDS more closely, after they left me at VW Auto Technik Dähne a little in the rain and I wanted to read out the expression of “Data protection reasons” not to give me. As turned out my GP1 beside ACC also side exit, which is currently however broken, and I consciously also never worked like that, even the previous owner said it was not installed (because out of grayed in the assistant menu). But he has resulted in the following error: 02071 Local data bus 014 – defective What does this mean? Is this reparabel? If yes what has to be exchanged, knows who? 2. Certain that my phone control device is defective I have now also left behind unfortunately, part number part number: 3w0035385ap ? Do you have a cheap replacement?

  • Questions from a V70II newcomer

    Hello everyone, I took over a V70 bought used by the dealer a few days ago. I bought the two days after he had come to the dealer’s yard. The car has about 25 extras and there are some that had probably escaped the dealer. Anyway, he mentioned it nochzt. Well, the other way around it would be worse. Question: How can one determine whether the car has an aut. Level control? Except the car fully loaded naturally. Next: My wife (162 cm) claims she doesn’t look good because the driver’s seat would not be set high enough (electrically). Let’s do something wrong. Normally she doesn’t need a seat cushion when driving a car. As far as Achim is concerned for the first time

  • V8 – It’s ordered!

    Just the order is out: V8 Summum rubinrot – Finally stop thinking about the rum There would be a question for the already XC90 drivers: I am looking for a good fixed installation FSE (for my P900, with radiomuting and external antenna). What experiences did you have? Which FSE can you recommend? I decided against the overpriced built-in phone… Greetings from day 1 of the waiting time crosselk

  • Consumption D5 very high

    Hello Volvo driver I would be interested in your consumption on shorter routes, so no tank filling with motorway.Drive mostly on the day about 18km to work, of which 50% are rural road and 50% city(no stop and go or Kavaliestart).My D5 is now 1 year old and started with 8,4l on 100km.Today with a consumption of good min.9.3L on the same route. Thus, every two months increased by 0.2l. Even with motorway ride of 500km (120km/h cozy) and 300km above described track still at least 8,2L consumption.Bein meine erwesen Dieselfahrzeuge (were not Volvo) always driven at the below stated consumption limit.My friend is at a loss and changed the AGR,was in error memory, but did not bring anything.Has someone similar experiences. mfg Werner
