  • Noise determination Aggregates

    Hello you dear Volvo connoisseurs! When I start the engine a few short grind, quick, jaul sounds from under the bonnet, stop like when a ball bearing slowly gives up the mind (I think). That stops after a short time and then remains calm. I assume, however, that will occur more and more often and therefore I would counteract early. I strongly assume it is the LM, servo pump or the belt tensioner. LM & servo pump are still original, belt tensioner sometimes made new at 130T km. Now about 340Tkm are on the clock and the V70 is 24 years old. From me everything can come slowly. Has kept for ever. But sometimes theoretically and possibly even practical, can one determine by the sound from where it comes from? I have the wedge belt quickly down. Thus a one after another exchange is also not super expensive. Thanks for your opinions! Ohso, is Ridex also Ok to take or better Bosch and similar. Is just a bit more expensive. Maybe I am also on the wood and it is something completely different. Better ask the connoisseurs. Dear greeting Mario

Until then always good driving and comes all heal over the winter! Markushttp://aelg-garage-bargstedt.de/

  • Omega B STG ZV plug-in or cable colours

    First hello to everyone, I bought me a ffb universal to deal with the stress with the originals. was also instruction and all in doing so only I have problems with the cable colors. and indeed I read here also iwo that the cables for “on” and “on” should be brown-white and brown-red but in the instruction is indicated with “on” brown-black. the problem is, on the stg I have 2 plugs and on each these cable colors are available (on the wide plug even several times). Which of the two plugs do I find the cables for the on and to control and which colors or pins are these? have a 96er omi b limo. but please explain for “dummies” because with schematics I can handle so much net. oh yes + and mass I have taken from the small plug, is that ok or should I take directly from batt? is on the plug even perennial juice on it? should already the original ffb funzt yes also (sometimes). the zv is mass controlled, right? so ke ine pneumatic or something? hope someone can help me with the search I always only stumbled on schematics and I can’t get any further.

  • Voice control

    I noticed some inconsistencies in the voice control. For example, a list of possible (voice) commands is displayed if you don’t understand the system. For example, you can read it as a possible command: [Maria Meier] call But that doesn’t work. It works the other way around, so call [Maria Meier], but not with all entries in the phone book. In the user manual – so that the confusion becomes complete – then the syntax: call [Maria Meier] [ Number category]. What does not work is the operation of the radio/media, e.g. games[Interpret] creates a confused list of titles (e.g. from the connected iPhone), which have nothing to do with the interpreter. I could continue the list now with some examples e.g. from the operation of the air conditioning system (you can only increase the temperature, lower does not work), but spare me that. The whole thing makes me the impression of a beta version….and learn to vocabulary. I don’t feel like it. What are your experiences? Maybe the Swedes tank doesn’t like a Baden accent.

  • Granada MK1 with Cosworth technology?

    Hello, I’m just setting up a new 72 Granada and would like to know how elaborate a conversion to Cosworth technology would be from nem Scorpio. Would ideally buy a Scorpio Cosworth and transplant as much as possible into my Granada. What I could already ergoogle is that probably only the BOA 2.9I V6 from nem 1er Scorpio comes into question. But that’s also the only question that I could answer 100% myself. What does it look like when installing the engine? or do they have to be adapted or rewelded? Does the Scorpio I have a cat and can I take it with me? Since I definitely want to have a manual transmission, what does it have on me with the MT75 transmission from the Sierra (except that it should tolerate 300 NM)? Is this the transmission from the Sierra Cosworth with rear drive? If so, should the part be difficult to find or only to pay with organ donation card. Or was it also installed in other models? plus NM alternatives? e.g. the transmission made of 150 hp Scorpio I 2.9i V6. What happens to the drive from transmission? Does the original cardan shaft fit to the new transmission or does it even last? Or can I take the shaft from the Scorpio with me? Should the diff. also be changed? Can I install the brake system from the Scorpio in Granada? Or, in other words, where do I get stronger brakes for the Granada? 200 Ps should be kept under control somehow. obleme could I get with the electronics? That all the electronics for the engine has to be taken over is clear. What problems will occur that I have not yet thought of? And since I come from Austria, someone has experience with getting such a thing registered in Austria? I don’t care about oldtimer registration, I don’t need it. I hope someone who has done this before and can answer my questions in a little more detail in the Fore n, which I found, rather only general answers alla “will fit already” found. already thank you in advance for answers

  • Sucked off by car dealers

    Hello, already in advance sorry for the OT, find unfortunately not the right area. It is about, 2 months ago from a “dealer” bought us a Hyundai Coupe, he then arrived at the purchase contract to which he gives no guarantee at the low price (2000€). Well, the car looked otherwise good, (rust and from inside) had also only one previous owner, and only 90,000 KM on the clock, so we took it nevertheless. Last week then came the evil, on the way the wagon caught In the workshop it was only the engine that went down, the piston is broken by the engine. Total damage. At the beginning of the week then the dealer who sold us the W203 told us first of all that what the dealer did there was illegal, he is always obliged to give warranty, no matter whether cheap, hobbyist car, etc. Now to the question, has since possibly already someone experience what it would look like if I was lawyer against the Hän have 2000€ or not. Thank you very much for any tips and advice.

  • Be careful with inspections!

    I would like to describe the following (for data protection reasons) fictitious case person A brings his car with no more than 12,000 kilometers ran for the second inspection. In the workshop a list is read of the things that are pending at the second inspection. Person A asks the employee B workshop type, why some parts are changed or cleaned at all during the low driving performance. Person A did not agree to the optional replacements and cleanings and thus could reduce the invoice by 1/4 and still has the same claim as before. Conclusion ! You should be really careful when your vehicle has run only a few kilometers. Hyundai offers you some replacement parts during your inspections, which are not necessary with low driving performance. Some workshops do not point out that some parts can be changed optionally, s onders simply calculate fully for this and thus collect vast amounts of money.

  • Suzuki Alto – Model order and construction time

    Moin, I hope you’ll be able to help me a little bit. Unfortunately, I can’t research the order of the different Suzuki Alto models. My research to date is as follows: As the first model in Germany I identified the model SS80G with 0.8L three-cylinder and 29 kW. Construction time 1979 to 1984. The successor model in Germany is the model EC/CA71 with also 0.8L and 29 kW. Construction time 1984 to 1989. This model closes the model EF with 1.0L engine, with 40 to 43 kW Moto The model FF is connected with a 1.1L engine with 46 kW. Construction time 2002 to 2006. The current model is the model GF with 1.0L engine and 50 kW, built since 2009. Do these data vote? Where are the errors? Can you please help me to assign the models and construction times correctly?
