  • Omega mv6 buy worthwhile or not?

    Hi, I actually come from the Ford Mondeo range I play but with the thoughts of me in the next months to buy a mv6 price up to 350€ but with guarantee he can also 4costs. But would like to know how the omegas with the V6 are in general like that. so e.g. I drive a Mondeo Mk1 with 2.5l 24V v6 engine is actually also quite satisfied alerdings too lazy to switch. How are the acceleration values of the mv6 BJ:95-98 so the 3.0 211PS motors. is the 4speed automatic ik good or rather not how long does it last and how long does the motor last there are parts on the motor that break particularly quickly e.g. ZKD or or (I know the bender is not very good) and would you buy such a car again or rather not? MFG

  • who fills e10???

    Hello Omega driver, I would be interested in who of you fills everything e10, and what experiences he has made with it. I know that the government vehicles are not allowed to fill e10. I thought that if they are not allowed to fill it, then mine will not get it either….. just refuel super plus, because this has the same price as e5…. I don’t want to have a political discussion here, but only the experiences of those who have filled e10 in their omega. thank you and say hello to zoekie

  • Change V-belts

    Hello first of all, I have a V70, year 2001 with LPG system and 220,000 km on the clock since yesterday. I noticed two things, for which I would need tips: The servolankung is sometimes too difficult, e.g. after a longer motorway ride. Oil is enough in it, I think it is due to the pump. But I don’t even know how to get down the rib belt. Where does it get relaxed or relaxed? And how do you get there? (Obviously, because I’m not an inexperienced screwdriver in itself). Then ma But I can’t locate where the noise comes from. The TÜV man could not tell anything. Does anyone have any experience with it? How long do the things last? When do you switch them for safety reasons? Then I would like to have a workshop manual for the V70 (2.4), someone knows what? I had that from Haynes for my 945, was quite okay. I say thank you.

  • No oil pressure and clapping from approx. 2500 u/min

    Hello dear Volvo community, I am now almost again despairing ………….. now my Dickelch ( Volvo S80/2.9 l ) was back in the workshop, oil change was due again, now after about 500 km the message No oil pressure immediately stops in BC and from 2500 u/min it starts to clap. I of course immediately turned off the engine and had the car dragged into a workshop, check the oil pressure switch was I.O. now the guess of the workshop master either it acts s I am very disappointed now and play with the thought of getting 5 l of fuel and finally burning off the scissor………. First of all I will drink a frustration beer ….. What is your opinion and experience ?? Who has had the problem ?? gruss a frustrated eifeler33

  • 225/35 R18 on V70II D5?

    Hello, I may have the opportunity to organize OZ Hydra rims 8Jx18 H2 ET35 (wheel type: 01652 201) including the following tyres: 225/35 R18. I fear, however, that the 225/35 R18 is not sufficiently sustainable. Can anyone help me? At the moment drive the Thor 17″ on my D5, year 2004. As far as I can see this as layman, my car is in the current report of the OZ Hydra, but under tires only 225/40 R18 is in it. The rim is really chic. k. Would be stupid if I had to throw down the 225/35 just to raise 225/40. Sorry, but I am in terms of rims, press-in depths etc. unfortunately real layman! Thank you! Have added the current report.

  • XC90 PDC front

    Hello together, someone can tell me what a PDC retrofit costs in the front incl. the bumper protection and installation of the XC90 Mod.06. My friend firmly claims that the bumper protection is extra and costs everything together around 1100.- Euro. In my accessory price list from 2007 however “parking aid incl. bumper protection” for the model years 2005-2006 for 410.-Euro incl. VAT. Thank you in advance.

  • Volvo V70 or S80 short bearing if possible

    Hi guys, we’re currently driving an Opel Omega 2.0 16V Bj 98. We’re looking for a Volvo, we’ve already looked at a V70 with 170 Ps and 2.4 liters. Nice thing so with climate, leather, glass roof, heater, E-seat and so Bj 2000 and 168Tkm on the clock for 7500 euros. The H.ändler also had a Dekra expert report, I don’t give that much. Today we’re looking at a S80 Bj 10.2001 with also 2.4 liters and 170 hp. He also has leather, climate, car phone system, and Radi/Cd HU 6 01, DSTC and Tempomat etc for 5800 Euro ach ja 156Tkm on the clock. What should one pay attention to, what says the verbauch are both automatic 🙂 should be so desired. What do the parts do so, rust etc. Would be grateful for any answer and help. Lg Martin

  • Volvo 850 t5 bj. 94 2,3l 5-cylinder vacuum hoses.

    Hello together, I changed the days the quick coupling to the warm exchanger and changed the cables in the engine compartment. The air filter box had to go out and some vacuum hoses went off. After the assembly and the warm drive I noticed that de Elch accelerated like wildly and the turbo turned up without limit until he had strong dropouts. At the same time the charging pressure indicator marched to the right over the display area. I don’t know exactly which hose belongs to where. My predecessor has at least partially replaced it with a kind of wiping water pipe. The hard art pipes lie in softer hoses of different diameters practiced are partly connected by such sockets. Someone knows how the hoses are properly laid, so which hose is laid from where to where and which diameter they have to be Sss? I’m totally desperate. Thank you so much. Greetings Joko2000.

  • rattles front right

    Hello, after I replaced crossbars and pendulum supports, I thought the flap would stop at the front right. Unfortunately, it is not. Also, the tire at the front right on the inside was quite worn out, which I connected with the old crossbar, as well as steering wheel vibrations from approx. 90 km/h. They are still there. The flap occurs with short bumps/impacts. I got an appointment for the track setting. But I probably can’t get the flap with it. Can it be the spring leg or the right motor bearing? Or anything else? Would be grateful for any hint. Jürgen
