  • Oel pressure switches

    Hello experts, would like to finally activate the oil pressure gauge in my Saab 9000 CS ECOPOWER, 125 kW. To do this, the serial pressure switch for the warning lamp in the dashboard has to be replaced. But how is it removed? Is there only one plug plug on the thread socket and can you just pull it off? I tried it, but the thing is damn tight. Wouldn’t want to destroy anything. Or how else can it work? Greeting, julefreund

  • Idle problem

    I bought a Saab 9000 Bj.88 (Motor B202): Unquiet idle, after cold start the engine commutes between 500-2000 RPM, when it is warm it runs restlessly. After I take away gas the speed drops to below 500 and it likes to drain off. I have worked on an idle control valve with brake cleaner and did a new throttle damper – no change.In the lower speed range it runs rough, but from 3000 tours it pushes off powerfully.When accelerating bright whistles?Today after start the electronics (inside blower, window lifter etc.) has no power. After restart everything works again (accompanied by a strange noise from the rear). Euro 2 does not seem to be possible, since I do not get a cold run controller for the car. What can I do?

  • Buy – or fingers off?

    Hello, I am currently without a mobile kit, but I urgently need a vehicle (for about 1 year) that reliably brings me 70Km of easy distance over the highway to my workplace. A buddy borrowed a Phaeton (6cylinder) from his company and now I think about whether you can buy the good piece. The maintenance condition is “under all sow”, especially with the bright interior equipment this is of course bad, even the preparation at a specialized company helped only marginally. The car jerks when accelerating, not always, but more often. The control unit for the tire pressure control is probably defective, the front disc has a crack, but should still be taken over by the partial cascade, various pinned rust spots also has the good piece. Navi-DVD is missing. I once read out the fault memory and attached the relevant part. EZ is November 2004, mileage is about 265,000. What else can you spend for this? Thanks for reading and for tips Josef

  • My name is Udo, what’s your name?

    Good day, my name is Udo, my Nick is, as can be seen, A346. My Nick is still uncomplicated, others, however, straddle with five X, 4 M and 8 Z. Was only an example, which Nick does not exist. Is also: aaabbb001nullkommanix, again just one example! Yes, will be in an anonymous forum.But so anonymous that I have to break my fingers on the keyboard, in order to, politely as I am, address the Nick by name, can it not be. What does it say against calling his first name? Privacy? Ne, rather not. A little bit personal, and whether it is just the signing of a contribution with the first name, would also be able to take the sharpness out of some inconspicuous discussion. My opinion. My day as Udo was beautiful! LG Udo

  • Cheap new car leasing for the Phaeton 5-seater 3.0 V6 TDI 4Motion

    Hello, at the moment I’m going to take a BMW E60 – Leasing end is scheduled for March 2011. After that I’m thinking about whether I have an A6, E-Class, new 5 or a Phaeton 5 seater 3.0 V6 TDI 4Motion lease. I’ve got some time. I’ve now got an offer from the VW dealer regarding the Phaeton 5 seater 3.0 V6 TDI 4Motion as new car: The configuration with the different equipments resulted in a total fare of Br. 86.065 EUR. Leasing duration: 24 months / No leasing special payment / 30,000 km per year gross leasing rate 898 EUR. This corresponds here to a leasing factor of 1.04. I had the V6 TDI for 1 day to the sample and must say already, a very valuable car with a completely sufficient engine would be offered here. I drove 180 km and had a total consumption of approx. 9 liters (autobahn, city, land road 1/3). Here’s the alternative offer of leasing would not be given.

  • V40 fan / fan defective (problem already limited)

    Hello together, I have a rather urgent problem with my parents’ Volvo V40. Since yesterday the fan or the interior fan no longer works. 1. guess: fuse. I checked. 100% OK (because it is the same for the disc heating and this works or does not work if the appropriate fuse is missing). 2. guess: blower motor defective. Plugs pulled and bridged with a 9V battery (unfortunately nothing else…). Blower ran, although only very weak because of the battery, but it ran. Then measured the plug with a voltmeter. Ignition off -> 0.00V; ignition on -> 0.30V; No change if I have “regulated” on the fan controller. 3. guess: the two plugs next to the fan plugs put in any relay or something like that (which I believe belong to the fan control) both plugs individually pulled off and all contacts (1x 3 and 1x 4) measured. Sometimes there were 0.00V and sometimes 11V. But there was never a change when I turned on the fan controller.

  • Camshaft wheel – do they really have any problems with that?

    Good evening to the round! I am currently busy with the V40 petrol engines of PhaseII – everywhere you read about the defect of camshaft adjustment. Now such internet searches have the catch, that you can only find negative statements and the satisfied drivers rarely report. So I would be interested, who drives a PhII petrol engine here, first of all the 1.8 122hp and has no problems with the camshaft wheel? How often does the defect occur when? Some wrote (yes, I have searched the SuFu) of intervals 40-60k kilometers. Others have 180.000km on it and do not mention any defect…also in the “Who has how much KM on the Tacho” thread smoked turbochargers more often… So please get out with the language MfG

  • V70 2.0D – Electronics Failure while driving for fraction of a second (CEM?) / VIDEO

    Hello together, a friend recently added a used V70 2.0D from 2009 with approx. 213.000km. The car has an interesting problem: In case of running engine (in stand or while driving) suddenly all lamps light up in the speedometer, the central locking is controlled and the lamps of the buttons in the center console go on for a fraction of a second. The speed drops and the “DSTC on” message arrives, similar to after the engine start. It seems as if the onboard electronics for a fraction of a second lose voltage. I have the impression this is related to the current decrease… (e.g. when the windscreen wiper runs). See attached video. Reading out the car brings three errors: POT (Heck valve module) – U300316 battery voltage. General electrical errors. Current circuit voltage under threshold DDM (driver door module) – B110A11 driver’s side rear door central locking motor. General electrical errors. Short circuit to mass CEM (central electronic module) – B10EA14 positive temperature response.

  • Current circuit diagram for the crankshaft sensor KWS at CNG different?

    Hello together, can anyone tell me if the KWS is running over the controller of Prins? Or if the signal is picked up on the way? A circuit diagram of KWS at the 2.5T with CNG would be great. Background is this: Volvo had changed the sensor in January, because ECM-P033500 occurred permanently and I still have problems with the ride (complete dropouts and start problems, both in cold or “half warm” engine). After a month this error occurs again very violently. I would like to look very much for cable breakage and mass contact errors. I don’t want to think about a mistake in the control unit at the moment. I have found a company now, which specializes in such troubleshooting. Even Volvo would hate to get there.

  • Outer mirror on the right does not work

    Hej Motortalkler, I have just got a problem with my XC 60 MJ 14 from 09/2013 (currently 16500km). The right exterior mirror works on a case-by-case basis when locking and also via the door keys does not work. On the left, on the right, only a short “rugger” is standing. I tried to fold it out of the normal position with my hand, again, so it is locked in. And very important: doesn’t always appear, then it doesn’t work, then again a day, can’t recognize a typical frequency, most likely temperature (i.e. in the heat rather not, but that’s still uncertain) Just asked my workshop by phone, there should be an update?! For me this looks like a mechanical problem, it can still be a software matter. Has anyone had that already, what the “insiders”? Freue me about info’s! LG Forrestking
