  • #2 in new Outift

    Now I have the automatic LPT-animal already more than half a year positive and it has me so far quite concerned with Rep’s. Is a lot of money for maintenance for the next 300 TKM flown in – but that had to be easy …. Like a ‘simple’ V70 it should not look like – then again a few toads have walked over and under the car. I simply wanted what otherwise does not have the mass ….. I absolutely wanted that ‘he looks different’ after many replacement and accessory parts organizations it was finally yesterday so far: Ne bumper from the R-AWD front turn, back dito. I had a duplex plant already over 30 years ago on my tuned beetle …. so must bubbert at least like a V6 – something warm as well as with a VB div. I didn’t think about the other optics-kram happening! Conclusion not only for me: GENIAL! …. But of course I really wanted to believe in the first place.

  • OM642 Sprinter 318 cdi

    My V6 Sprinter 318 cdi from 2007 shows the following errors: Offset drift in idle mode and offset drift under load. In the meantime, for 3 months, various workshops have tried the car unsuccessfully and I have replaced AGR valve, air mass meter, turbo, KAT and DPF and a temperature sensor unsuccessfully. Also the engine control unit was tested and found for error-free. I repeated the car, repeatedly deleted errors, then drove about 4 weeks normal, but then mostly in the trailer drives again in emergency run… The two errors 2623 and 2624 can not be deleted even if the engine is not running. Does anyone have an idea what is in the wrong place? Thanks in advance

  • First of all…

    Moin TT drivers, nice forum, I think it’s really good that there is something like this and that’s why hello for the time being! My question … Yesterday I drove against my buddy. That means he has a Toyota Celica 1.8 143 hp, I have a TT with 180 hp. Now it looks like I just won. Cirka ne car length… is that normal ??? I also had the feeling when I pulled the first gear up to 6000 and then made the second one clean that the turbo didn’t deliver the full performance. But it looks different again when we are both in the second gear at 40 km/h and then give gas, then I pull it loose. Is that something wrong with my turbo??? How can I check if it still works 1A?!!!? I hope you can help me …. thank you already achso … can someone tell me where exactly the thrust air valve is sitting and how the exact designation is with Audi. Because nobody can start something with a thrust air valve at Audi? Maybe you can give me a grus?

  • Sliding roof “repair” 3,000,- Euro 😮

    My XC90 (2017) is currently in the Volvo workshop for tour-like maintenance. At the time of the delivery I had stated that the sliding roof causes problems. It only opens very slowly and the engine sounds very tormented. It’s a bit better to do so. My hope that maybe only a little too “lubricated” has been shattered today: According to Master, the whole sliding roof has to be exposed or expanded, since the mechanic has to reach the Bowden trains and the rail system. To do so, the sky has to be dismantled. Day task –> Costs around the 3,000,- Euro. It’s probably the Bowden trains completely “dry” and worn out, so that the mobility is no longer given. That’s probably what happens, among other things, when you use the sliding roof WENIG for details. Now I ask myself: what’s little? I’m already using it regularly in the summer. Also, general weather conditions incl. Tauwasser and triggering for such problems were eventually considered. However, the service has never been evaluated in the field?

  • Purchase advice XC90

    Hello, I’m currently looking for a used XC90: It’s my first Volvo. Before that, I only had vehicles from the VAG group. And I have been able to experience with some expensive problems… I drive with the car about 15tkm a year. Mostly then routes with 20km upwards. In the thread it’s mainly about the following topics: Is the XC90 (diesel like gasoline) otherwise rather problem-free? From other manufacturers I know such problems as oil dilution by defects piston rings, high pressure pump, injectors, DPF or rust on the car. I have read about this at the XC90 forum nothing like that at all. Or did I read it over??? here I already read as an example as a tip that absolutely the 360° camera should be on board. For me it would still be important that I have decent seats with extended leg rests, but they are not there at the moment, only at Inscription or R-Design… Do you have further recommendations? If you can not give me a few points in advance – Alex has already one thing to say and thank you for it.

  • Volvo xc90, t8 charging from the socket is not possible

    Hello, charging with the cable from the socket is suddenly not possible, the LED on the charging socket lights yellow. The charging cable is ok. While driving, the charging of the high-voltage battery is possible by display. In the factory state the error code BECM-P0AA668 and BECM-P0AA668 is read out. Supposedly the IGM module should be replaced, but the workshop can not guarantee that the error is fixed and the charging with the cable would be possible again. The KV is almost 4500 €. This is a lot of money without knowing that everything will be ok again. The IGM module (if the error is not fixed by this) can not be returned. So in the worst case I remain at the cost also with the broken car. If someone has experience with this problem with Volvo xc90, t8, year 2016. I am very grateful for every advice.

  • Phaeton reliability?!

    Hello people, drive since 11.2011 with great enthusiasm Lancia Thesis 3.0 V6. This is my 4th Lancia in a row since 1993 (thema, Kappa Limo, Kappa SW, Thesis) and really a very comfortable glider (was also Italy’s state coach). Since it was year 2002 I will have to look over for a short or long time but after another car, even if it was optically and technically well cared for and becomes. The only annoying on my diva are frequently occurring error indicators, which in most cases turn turn out to be false messages and disappear after some time by itself. The car is just stunned with extremely many sensors, which occasionally sensitively react to weather influences etc. A real DIVA just!!! By the way, it never went so far that they would have let me down, but sometimes it is annoying and was especially frightening at the beginning. Since the phaeton is often seen as a particularly reliable and of special processing and material quality, I have never seen it as a follow-up. But now I have heard the forum of the sound of the electric time and often heard about problems.

  • Use other charging providers alongside Mercedes me

    I have an EQS as well as a Hyundai Kona and therefore also an ENBW+ special tariff. In general I charge the EQS to IONITY. But sometimes there is no IONITY column nearby. Now I have found that many columns in Mercedes cost me 0,90 € instead of 0,52 € at ENBW+ per kilowatt hour. The charging of the EQS by means of Mobility plus App was also problem-free when you first found the correct name of the column. Now the problem: also the Aral Pulse columns are at the moment significantly cheaper at EnBW. So I started the charging process by means of an app. But then I saw that the charging process was billed directly with Mercedes thanks to the plug-n-charge. How can you prevent this? Does someone know a workaround?

  • Mondeo – value (loss)… ?!?

    Moin… Since I have seen another “netten” Mondeo, I have calculated my time at dat.de. Result: approx. 11.500€ DealerEK 🙁 The car is not even 3 years old and has less than 50Tkm down… If I drive it for another two years, I can leave it directly with scrap?!?! I have not had a bad value loss with any car so far! And there were already strange things with… ;-)What do you think is so realistic? If you look at mobile or similar, then there are, also from dealers, much higher VK prices in it. Unfortunately, you never know how much they really bring then.
