  • Xenon – Light cone and light range regulation

    Hello everyone, wanted to ask me about your experiences with the xenon light. At my V50 (MY 2010, without autom. cornering light) it is the case that for example with the large signposts, which stand sideways to the right of the highway, the lower half is brightly illuminated, while the upper half with sharp border appears clearly darker. If the road is still a bit uneven then the light cone begins to “jump”, which is clearly visible and very irritating because of the sharp separation. Since I have not noticed this yet with any other car, the question: is this the same with you or are the headlights turned off? Besides, does someone know in which situations the automatic light-width regulation after, only with stronger loading or also with gradients/falls etc.? Thank you already in advance!

  • 156 2.4 20V beating noise while rolling away

    Good evening, with my 2.4 I have a speed dependent hit. That means if I let myself roll at 50 km/h and get slower it will beat slower. Under load it is gone. I have to say now that I had an accident at the front right and the car is driving again since yesterday. I also have the problem that comes at 120-140 km/h the emergency run and there is no power and but only comes at this speed. If I am below and even if I turn out the lower gears full no error comes. The error code is P1235 and there is: -turbo pressure signal -There is a bit of helpless and hope someone can help me further. If more information is needed please let me know. Greetings

  • XC90 D5 2009 Momentum vs. Summum

    Good morning forum, yesterday evening my has made me an almost immoral offer. A new XC90 D5 almost in 1-1immediate leasing exchange to my beloved XC70 D5. So replacement of the lease agreement 5 months before the end of the term. The Dickelch would be in momentum equipment with automatic, dark disks, Xenon, Opa-Radar and RTI. Unfortunately without a phone, but as 7 seaters. Color Uni-Black – Leather Anthracite. Now the thing with the fixed installation is not a huge issue, if there is a clever BT plant. My question should I take instead Momentum 7 seater better a summum 5 seater? Family and professional this would also be full enough, the story with the 7-seats is just a nice gimmick, Zg at children’s birthdays. Is there at XC90 actually 4-c and there is the telfon in the summum equipment included? I have seen nothing in the configurator. The question is what the summum large from the o. I am grateful for your equipment.

  • Survey: How satisfied were you with your Lexus in 2011?

    The year is slowly coming to an end, it’s time to start the winter tires again. We hope you’ve come through the year with your mobile kit so far! And to find out if that’s how it is, we want to start a small survey again in 2011. Like every year, the manufacturers have done a lot to interest us drivers in their products and services and to satisfy their customers. But: How satisfied were you with your car? Or with the service that every car needs every now and then? So: How was your personal car year 2011? Since most manufacturers not only regularly read MOTOR-TALK but are also in contact with us, we are focused on the manufacturers with the survey results and your praise and criticism in the comments. That’s why in the comments you liked Lexus in general and your Lexus in particular in 2011, which is even better and what was not so sparkling!

  • V70 D5 Monday car

    Hello Volvo friends. did any of you have similar bad experience with his V70 as I did? Drive a D5 black edition, geartronic since April 04. As a frequent driver until the first inspection was 20,000 km at the beginning of June, everything was ok. but since the… a total of 6 workshop stays, three times defective injectors of the comonrail system, a completely defective battery… Let’s see how this goes on… How Volvo does I not know yet, one is testing and researching. However, the Voco dealer in Straubing shows himself extremely cooperative! Has someone from you experience how easily Volvo new vehicles are converted? or are 50 to 60 Tkm annual running performance for a Volvo too much? Thank you and greeting, Msi

  • Hydraulic Oil Rinse Lupo 3L

    Since I really had to change the pressure tank for Lupo 3l, it was a bit of hydraulic oil. I then got a bit of hydraulic oil refilled by FEBI. Link : https://www.autodoc.se/febi-bilstein/788020 That was about 3-4 months ago, since then my Lupo always shuts down on the highway. At outside temperatures under 20 degrees I can easily drive 100 km/h before the engine shuts down and the car just continues rolling. At temperatures from 25 degrees I can only drive max. 80. Slimm it will be from 30 degrees and above, I can then drive a maximum of 60 -70. If I drive too hard over a street boomer anyway, then since the summer semester I often ride on the highway, and now it has been really warm to do the same thing in the first months, because the outside temperature was under 15 degrees clear and I was driving anyway only in the city traffic, but since I have been busy driving on the highway, and since I was living in Sweden it has been a lot of trouble.

  • Sales advice VW Lupo

    Hello, would like to introduce me first. My name is Jens am 47 years old and I live in the south of Hamburg. I signed up here in the forum because we want to buy a car for our daughter in the near future and I hope to get help with the upcoming questions. Now our daughter has already looked out a little bit. It is supposed to be a black lupo with folding sliding roof. Motorization 60 / 75 hp. Now I’ve been browsing the forum a little bit, but not really found what I’m looking for. What do we have to pay particular attention to when buying? Are there typical weak points? What is with rust and where does the brown plague like to occur? The budget is about 4,000,— Euro. Thank you for your help in advance.

  • Clips for front turn signal do not snap in, is there a remedy?

    Hello, can someone tell me how the VW Lupo flasher hood is fixed sideways between front bumper and bonnet? There are clips, see photos, which supposedly only have to be pressed on and then snapped. But they don’t. Nothing rests, it doesn’t hold anything. Even with the greatest effort they are not locked in, just a bracket for the clips on the aperture has already broken away. (How can you construct such thin bridges where a force effect is necessary?) How should the clips work at all? Do the transparant sleeves remain on the white pins or do they have to be pulled off beforehand and inserted into the holes of the fenders? I have already tried to understand the function, to press the pins into the sleeves with the pliers, but nothing moves at all. I also tried to pull out. Also, zero movement. How should this hold, I can easily push the clips into the fender holes and pull them out again. If the pen is in the sleeve, I should never ask for a solution.

  • Interior noise levels VOLVO XC60

    Hello, since the end of November 21 owns a Volvo XC60 B4 AWD Inscription. Feels the generally comfortable vehicle however as quite loud, above all unrolling and chassis noises can be heard clearly. At low speeds also the diesel is very present. Once with a sound measurement app the noises recorded during the ride, the Db values are very high in my opinion. So I had values up to 79dbA at country road speed (80-100km/h) and on average 71dbA. Also in urban traffic I reach values up to 70dbA. Acoustic glazing is not installed, independently of that these values seem to me to be too high. Does anyone of you have similar experiences or considers these values too high? How reliable the app values are, remains open, however, they coincide with the feeling that the vehicle is much too loud for its premium claim. Thanks for your feedback!

  • Volvo V60 Bright or Black

    Hello together I’m just about to configure my 2nd V60. My current is a D4 AWD, black, Inscription. In the future it will be a T6 Recharge – maybe also as XC. I’m still unreliable with the color scheme. Find black the currently best color for the V60, but constantly fluctuate between the versions Bright (with chrome) and Black (without). I wonder how the whole of the new model year without exhaust works. Has anyone already got delivered or seen this in the showroom? I know… taste thing, but I’m interested in your opinions.
