  • Coolant exits + knocking noises 850/10V BJ96

    Hello dear forum the other day it probably did PENG in the workshop and the screw on the drain tap of the cooler said goodbye. Strange was only that the temperature was probably not too high. (according to the description of the workshop) Well, the cooler was patched and I could drive again. However, only about 2 days. Then the coolant came out again. Although not abrupt, but probably steady up to the MIN display of the coolant tank. The patch is absolutely tight. I have in the anh In addition, one hears a kind of knocking noise, which always (threatfully) becomes louder when one starts the good. My guess is that a line is clogged and that the overpressure has arisen. Because one has only patched the hole at first, the actual damage has not been fixed of course. Do you have ideas or experiences with such peculiarities? For all the ideas already in advance a big thank you! All of them…

  • Cooler fan does not run

    Hi guys, I noticed now in the heat that the radiator fan doesn’t start in our car. Car is a V70 I petrol bj99 with air conditioning. The air conditioning hasn’t been running for a while. The coolant temperature on the display never goes over the middle, remains rather below. That’s a bit strange, because that’s how it is in the traffic jam, the temperature doesn’t have to go up there if the fan doesn’t run?. Temperature goes relatively quickly after 3-5km to just below the center. Heating is running, cooler hoses are all warm as well. How do I best check what it is or what can I replace? Or can I somehow connect the fan so that it runs permanently? Would be better than not at all.- Greeting Carni

  • Omega A, buy or don’t buy, that’s the question…

    Hi men, I haven’t been so active so far, because I had neither much advice nor many questions. Now I have an important question. I’m a fan of Omega A. Was our family car until I was 18. Before I could take my driver’s license, however, the engine said goodbye. It’s supposed to be the 2.6i. Now I want to buy one and realize that there is little useful. That leads to the assumption that the things are either all rusted through, or those who have one. Now I have found a cheap one with the usual search engines, which however has a huge rust damage. My question to the experts is : Is it worth buying the car? Do I still get TÜV for it? If yes, would it be the last TÜV to get the car?http://www.autoscout24.de/Details.aspx?id=v3wnrkdwqan# The car is meant

  • Type-R 07 Driving impression (short)

    Moin, we unexpectedly drove the new test today, but only had 20 minutes for 3 people… What does a WRX driver and a Focus ST driver say about the Civic? Here’s the answer: Unfortunately, everything had to go very quicklyCompared to the WRX… – Brakes feel better at least. – Steering: more direct but already more difficult! – Chassis: Strammer quite well, but when we drove back to the yard from the Honda dealer… UI quite hard. Wouldn’t bother me that much. n. – Sound: The engine sound has at least 100 MAL more than mine. In comparison, I have absolutely no sound coming from the engine, so was again very quiet than I have climbed into mine. Coupling is also much easier than with me Vtec area is very good to hear, no jerking.General… Test car had a little over 300km on it. was driven city, country and autobhan TRÄGE? No need then you have to drive a not so new turbo, so rotary zhal goes up fast… Acceleration joa a lso went, but did not compare to the old one. I only drove with Zebu and RSAMD once. – Seats are also good but rather for thin people. With me was still placed on the sides What didn’t like was the arrangement tacho, dehzahlmesser and all the digital stuff. Could not find on the fast also no seat positzion which has fit well everyone wanted to drive once. What still negative (on the test car) was that the ventilation let through at speeds around the 100 wind noises!! el. exhaust left right ??? looked like this, looked into the apertures.. So I would have at least bought the old one almost once 2 mobile photos picture1image2 1 mobile video 3gp!!! bit of sound video1 so that was from me MfG Peter

  • Interested in the 850 – which engine?

    Moin, think about getting me a 850 station wagon. What you’re reading is real long-term cars, which you can also buy with 280,000km on the clock and then drive for a few years. Little rust, extremely stable technology, even the exhaust system should last almost 10 years… Since I’m more of a suitable type, I place more value on reliability and lower consumption than on full boost at speed 200… So it’s clear that a turbo is out of the question. Which engine i The 2.0l with 125hp or the 2.5l with 145hp? Does one of these two DOHC five-cylinder weak points? I would be grateful for your tips and experiences with your 850s! LG histomatic

  • Immobiliser

    Good morning, someone has – in another forum – claimed that the electronic immobilizers (these terrible things that disqualify my elk as an escape vehicle in bank robberies) are “…to crack an experienced carcracker in less than 3 minutes”! Apart from the question of which “experienced carcracker” wants to steal a 16 year old 850 – is that true? I wish you all a happy, sunny Easter PS: I don’t want a recipe – just want to know if it True

  • Will return V70

    Hello, I’m looking for a stay again after a V70 2.5 d switch. Only all the vehicles I’ve longed for have a fancy mileage (was out of the favorite check booklets when you call at the workshops) I wanted to know, however, if it is possible to get the leaching power of the vehicle (since Schekheft and invoices are not always available), I always hear different opinions, but most say the e I have to say that by now I have been quite shaky, that almost 100% of the Volvos I have seen have changed the running performance!!! Slowly you are really inclined to Paraneua!! 4000 expensive for a twelve to fifteen year old car with 400 000 km I don’t want to spend either! Thanks in advance for your opinions Jojo

  • Audi 80 Type89: fuse 14 always burns through

    Hello, I have a problem. And I noticed last time that my numbering lights don’t work. I first thought like lamps would be broken, but then I noticed that fuse 14 (glove compartment, number handle.) burned through. So I switched fuse and it burned out right away. So I measured what resistance I have there between + and -. There are 5 ohms without tacho on it and 3 ohms with tacho on it. I know in the “cold” state it is of course only little meaningful, because the conductivity of the lamps in the luminous state decreases. What can not be true, someone an idea. PS: A year ago I smoked the poti for the speedometer lighting, which I have now bridged (so almost always full on), but also this is not possible.
