  • Kaufhilfe XC90 BJ05 120t km

    I’ve been looking for a reasonable 7-seater for a long time (we have 3 children). the xc90 is at the top of my list – only I don’t know this car at all. now I’ve got a good offer for a bj05 with 120000km. first possession, purchase from the dealer, 12 months guarantee. my question is whether you can buy the car with this km stand without hesitation, or if I have to reckon with göberen problems in the next few years? what should I pay attention to? many thanks for your support, martin

  • Growth and two small problems!

    Hello ! Since my 94-iger turbo is in the hall for the first time (wheelhouse and spring leg dome back right completely through was no longer to be created to the TÜV , at the time) I have placed a MY 6.93 with 107 kw as transition to. The car is naturally great (carroserie, disc frame engine everything good 280 Tsd. on the clock) . Only one bothers, who I want to start in the morning he starts up and goes out immediately, I start with gas giving it starts and after about 20 seconds I can walk from the gas pedal and it runs ?! And my speed is in the warm condition too high, 1200 tours. Once he showed check engine 4 times blinking, Temp. sensor, can the for both be responsible? Have the battery stuck now remains check engine out but that behaves not changed! Temp. Feeler comes in Sunday the new one. Does anyone have a mutant behind it?

  • Engine overheated when air conditioning is switched on

    Hello everybody, my 95er 9000 comes with a high outside temperature plus traffic jam plus the air conditioning that it steams out of the engine compartment. It can’t be the cooling system, because the temperature indicator doesn’t rise and the cooler system has also been checked and rated for functioning – so nothing striking. If you turn off the air conditioning system, you can simply continue driving. Does anyone of you also know this phenomenon or the cause?

  • Wants to buy me a T4!

    Hi to everyone! I already have a Volvo V40, but it’s not the power bomb, because it’s a tired (210,000Km) Renault TDI with 95Ps. And now I wanted to ask you what to consider when buying a T4. How long does it last if you drive a lot of motorway (150-170Km/h)? Can you expect 200,000km? How fast is it from 0-100? So about the 7sec or worse? So, I look forward to your knowledge, since I only know the V40 in the diesel version!

  • Subaru instead of golf and Kia Sportage ?!

    Hello municipality, I am looking for the big compromise between an everyday car on the way to work (tägl. 100 km ) and the hunting car for the terrain. For the first one it is currently a Golf VI TSI, very economical with moderate driving mode, but in the winter it gets very bad warm and recently water runs through the door inside and who knows what after almost 3 years everything comes. For the terrain it is a Kia Sportage JA Bj. 1999, where jumping does not always work like this ( immobilizer problem ) In addition comes twice insurance and taxes. And now I just ask the experienced Subaru municipality, if there is not somehow an acceptable compromise, i.e. a car for both requirements.

  • VW Amarok V8

    Hello VW friends. Unfortunately, there is no Amarok forum yet, so I am here. I intend to buy amarok, but I would like to have a tightened version possibly with V8 (from Audi or Porsche) with rally suspension and offroad-widening like the Ami-Ford F150 raptor. Does anyone know if VW or Abt would do such a thing in individual production, because the 2 liter diesel is really too lax for this otherwise horny vehicle. Would I look forward to answering your Mischa

  • Strange noise at low speed V40 2.0T

    Hello everyone! I’ve been having a little problem with my moose for a few days. When I’m driving at low speed (no matter which gear) such a funny glaring noise comes from the lower part of the car. It sounds like a chirping cricket. But the noise can only be heard at speeds of approx. 1000 rpm to 1500 rpm. The sound can only be heard when I’ve been driving. Has anyone ever heard such a thing or has someone ne Iddee? I am grateful for every advice.

  • Consumption/maintenance V40

    Hello, I would like to buy a Volvo V 40 soon. In principle I would be more interested in a petrol engine. Depending on consumption and maintenance costs I would also choose a diesel. If I want to drive the Volvo V40 as cheaply as possible, which engine should I choose? Does nothing need to be agile, I would only like to come from A to B cheaply. So which is the most economical diesel and which is the most economical gasoline engine and how much do the engines consume? Greetings and thanks, Felix

  • Purchase of spare parts

    Hello! Since the extensive use of the search function did not help me, I open up a new topic. I know that in some Fred times links were mentioned, but I did not find it again. So the following: with me (or my elch v40 bj. 01/97 1.8 l 115 hp;184000 km) a few smaller reperatures are necessary, which I would like to do with the help of a expert friend. Since I also want to get the parts myself, I need help from you. Maybe you can also give me tips, with which you have had good experiences. The following things are: – air filter – oil plus – filter – Stabi’s rear axle – pollen or interior filter – brake blocks front – lock back (has someone experiences with it?) – ignition candles – shock absorbers (where I want to have them tested again, since I lack a comparison) – luggage cover holder at the back Otherwise my elch (laut durchsicht) makes a very good impression! Neither rust nor Macken! I thank you for the help for your Leo service already!
