  • New battery after one night and 20 minutes of heating operation too empty to start??

    Hello people, the following problem has my 850. Old battery after a few days and then three times only short distance (2 times 3km plus morning and evening 20 min of floor heating) empty. That’s clear to me was not a good idea and the driving distance can not charge the battery! Since I didn’t want to exchange it for long and ordered for 100 cruisers a 60Ah Varta and after delivery a day charged ( charger a Ctek 5.0) a built up and start attempt! Super Starts as well as for long no more. Everything set again (radio, clock in the combination instrument and heater) just for this morning and 20 min after start of the stand heating in the car and key around, kotz gürg organ organ organ, just started!!! So nix drive but only again to the charge. Just checked with my Zangenampermeter and 100 mA rest current, stand heating and measured. This pulls still at start 6A and levels it at Vollast at 3A. What I had to do with the heater is quite a bit of the time that I can measure the old school with a lot of time!

  • Did you give your Phaeton a name?

    wolfgolfplus asked an interesting question at the Phaeton Forum last year “what do Phaeton drivers work?” I found it exciting that there were many interesting answers…, great questioning.. Most of them love your Phaeton and I noticed that some even gave names (Karl 1, after Karl 2) that made me smile and get to this questioning might become a cheering correspondence. Fire free! Does your Phaeton have a name and maybe even the name of a Klaus-Bärbel? LG Gerhard (my name doesn’t have a name yet, let’s see, maybe I’ll be inspired)

  • How do I notice my DSC is active?

    Hello together It’s logical that you can give too much gas when you start and then lose the wheel attraction and slide a little bit. With my colleagues driving the BMW 528xi or Opel etc. the DSC lights up in the middle of the speedometer but that’s not the case with me. I rarely slide but if I slip then only briefly but it never lights up. The DSC button is activated when the LED button is on above the DSC button and that’s also the case with me. I drive a Volvo S 80 Premium A 2.9l Question: If you lose the traction at the front, does Volvo also light up traction control at the speedometer inside? Thanks for your answers. gruss jimmy

  • Noise at steering impact left

    Hello “old Sweden” :-), I am 25 years old, I have been living in Berlin for a long time and am still driving Opel and now after many years Cabrio (Astra G) and a Corsa, finally long-distance comfort. I am interested in a – S80 – Bj. mitte 2005 – leather, Navi, standing heater, sliding roof etc. I think it is the executive equipment line, but I don’t know myself with Volvo yet so well. – D5 – 163 hp – 95,000 kilometers down – good condition when driving I noticed that when turning left (standing) there was a single noise to hear. It listened as if an additional unit has switched on. But the standing heater was off! Since the car is relatively large and heavy, I suspect that the servo pump might cause these noises. Since I don’t want to make an expensive repair right after I turn to you with this problem. Can you know this problem? Which component could this be necessary? Is a repair necessary? Many thanks in advance, Cab1.8

  • V70 D5 Difference model year 2005 to 2004?

    Hello, after now 16 years of golf gurking I want to finally switch to the league of the more pleasant driver’s office and love the Volvo V70 for a long time. Especially since I would like to offer my wife and my little daughter a maximum of possible safety. Not to mention the additional space (stowroom). And he looks chic also ;o) I have come across quite favorable offers in the range of the model years 2004-2005. One stands out, but this is the model year 2004. What has happened in the model year change to 2005 at the V70 D5, what would justify a “extra price” of good 1500-2000 euros (apart from age)? I am concerned with eliminated (material) weaknesses, which the 2004er had yet to succumb to, but the 2005er no more.. or the other way 😉 Or has safety done something? Was the DPF installed as standard from 2005 on? Questions about questions. With please answer.

  • Sliding roof and windows close up after engine stop and door

    Moin, what bothers me if I turn off the engine and the ignition is off and the passenger opens his door, I can’t get the sliding roof and the windows anymore. Even if the closing has been initiated before the door is opened, the process is simply canceled. Can you change the fact that he at least doesn’t break that which has already started? Comfort closure is also not possible.

  • Separation grid or grid in V70?

    Dear Forum I would like to protect the passenger compartment from bullets, especially since the trunk is probably used for a longer journey, despite the roof box, over backrest. No animal transport, only luggage. For the V70 there are the extendable cutting nets or a foldable grid. Who has experience with the solutions? About the SuFu I did not get the desired information. My assessments, without having seen the two real: The net seems to be needed something cheaper and the cassettes fit into the compartment on the lower floor when not used. Visually, I like it better, but it takes away precious depth of the trunk. Is it parallel with the roller blind usable, or does it have to be out first? I would probably have to buy the grid anew and in my opinion provide for something “Viehwagenambiente”, but looks robust. Folds the part back there annoying? Must the roller out? What do you use? What do you recommend to me? Or does someone in the forum have a grid, which dusts only in the basement and I could take over? Thank you for your experiences Simon

  • 2 measure oil for the Phaeton Diesel

    Hello everyone, have recently read some very interesting contributions on the topic of ds Zumisches from 2Takt oil to diesel vehicles. In other contributions the added value of the Premium Diesel brands was discussed. Conclusion: 0 Added value only higher price. Mixes any of you 2 measure oil to his diesel in the Phaeton and there are experiences. The experiences with other diesels from the e.g. forum seem to be clear. I think I will do it soon.http://www.auto-treff.com/…/showthread.php?… Gruss capdoc

  • XC60 D5 – “Motor maintenance required”

    Hello municipality, now it has also caught me, yesterday suddenly the yellow warning “motor maintenance required”. To the background, my five-cylinder from Mj. 17 (the old) has completed in the last years each 12-15 Tkm in the year, short but also long distance, largely trouble-free. So far no performance losses noticeable, no emergency run report. Last service 7 months ago, of course at the FVH. I asked for the oil level, which showed itself just in the red bordered field right, i.e. it could have “mistaked” “some” diesel in the engine oil. What else could come into question?? My friend can only read out the error memory on Tuesday, but complained immediately with overload and booked out for at least 2-3 weeks. In one week however, I want to reach my holiday domicile in Croatia. Who has similar experiences and can give tips ??

  • Search Holder additional headlights V70 as pattern for replica

    Hey, I had the holder for the additional headlights for 850 from MJ94 built as a prototype from 4mm Edelstal. It is planned to produce a small series on request. Now I am still looking for the holder from the V70 as a sample to take the dimensions and also to offer a replica. Would someone have the holder and would lend it to me? Of course on request against deposit and also not quite for lukewarm. Would I be happy about feedback. Thanks Janko Anbei times the pictures from the holder for 8s.
