  • V70: Seatrest and heating shorter than before?

    Hello, I don’t know if I’m wrong, but I have the impression that the seat back of my new V70 is a whole bit less long than that of my previous S60 from 01/2003. Also, the seat heating seems to me to be a little shorter, so that it doesn’t reach that high anymore. Can that be or am I wrong? rotto

  • The Monday car returns

    Hello dear Volvo community. One or the other may still remember me. It is now a little over a year ago. I had a V 70 D5 BE, which was changed by my friend after a total of 17 workshop stays in 6 months. I have since the one V 70 Mj 05 and must say I have surrendered to my fate! My fate to have me enstchieden for a car, which … I am missing the words at this point, I am simply disappointed! A car, that in real money is calculated to cost 80,000 DM, after a few days just loses his left foglight, the engine error indicator, which should never have been there, and which starts to vibrate after 40 tkm, to shiver and knarze like a VW Golf Diesel, type I. The crowning then finally came yesterday: capitally please engine damage! 3 weeks after he was at the friendly for inspection! Keel belt, control chain or whatever he has fixed, valves off into the piston head, at least has got to get rid of this morning’s birthday?

  • Error code B1111 Smart 450 bj2006

    A hello to everyone, it is your swarm knowledge asked, because I am finished with my Latin. The following problem. From now on I could not open my smart by infrared key any more, he was dead. I thought. ADAC put it Smatri in the garden where it stands for 4 weeks. ADAC has read out: error code B111. He tried a lot without success. Auto key service came, has key coded. New batteries were inserted. NOTHING! Then an idea ?? Maybe it is the infrared receiver, ordered, inserted! NOTHING! (I opened the car at the rear flap) I can lock it with, the central locking button on the dashboard, key position 1, press, then 0, then and quickly out, o.s.a. fuses were checked (31+11) ! That’s it. Hope you can help me!! L. G. from Berlin, Sarah (battery from the car hung on the charger, so is full)

  • Tacho spins

    My speedometer no longer goes back to zero. The Smarti is off and the speedometer stands at 80 (or anywhere else). It also indicates no correct speed during the ride. Do you need to renew it? Or ???

  • Smart fourfour scrapping?

    Hello, my smart fourfour has been having a problem with the gearbox for a long time and now the stove is completely out (I have been driving without the full automatic for a long time, but now the reverse course is no longer possible). I have decided to sell it for slaughter because I live in France and the cheap screwdrivers don’t really know about the car. What else can I ask for and maybe someone knows a good buyer for me? Is there also buyers in Germany who work internationally? I’m second owner, the car was in the dealership front car. 2004 80 hp second set rims for winter tires Version Passion A crash at the rear km 247,000 Thanks for every help – is needed.

  • Who knows SAM?

    Hallihallo, SAM in the 450 is the central control of the cube. Since I lack some things that are standard in my big one, I am just thinking about the possibility to intervene from the outside controlling. Please correct me in the following statements… The whole switches for light, window lifter and convertible roof are actually only there to tell the computer in the SAM which relay it has just switched through. SAM is controlled with 12 volts of switching pulses from the respective switches. If I implement on a switching wire from the outside by means of a circuit 12V, SAM shakes and does what the switch actually says. Background is the following… I’m terribly disturbed that the interior light runs out when the ignition key is turned. But I don’t want to buy a module for x-Euro now. Here a few transistors and Elkos rolled together on a circuit board would be a small help… So, where are the professionals…? Thanks…

  • Are you happy with your XC70?

    Hello, starting from the survey for him I would like to ask the question of the questions here. I quote: Quotation: Now I read so often already from dissatisfied … drivers, that slowly really the question arises to me, how so the end user really thinks about the car now. I is of course clear that in a forum mostly problems and dissatisfaction are discussed. So hand on the heart: how satisfied are you really with the XC70? It would also be nice if you can present Pro and Kontra briefly here … Greeting Tom (and for the fifth time very eagerly looking forward to the answers!)

  • Please to Volvo: Brake Assist with horn

    And now I drive the A40 from Essen to Duisburg, when in an 80km/h zone a middle-aged lady, with her Opel Astra, from the acceleration strip still has enough time to the next appointment, is driving on the track. So far everything is normal, only that she leaves the turn signal on the left, makes me a bit stubborn (and attentive). Suddenly white lights at her rear, the car goes up in the back and sometimes also the brake lights on. I reacted immediately, despite the heat, just like the brake assistant too. Unfortunately, I could only push the horn a quarter of a second later, because my multitasking skills are even more limited in such situations than usual. Couldn’t you combine the brake assistant with the horn? With flickering backlights, that’s what I could have used, by the way, since the Omega Caravan, who drove behind me, but then with a good distance, had nothing better to do than turn on me (Ars**, what can I do for it!) But what made me look like a ride on the ride, because I had a ride on the car, because I had a ride on the car.
