I'm currently also working on the hot air flap, started because the vacuum hose connector broke but when I remove it, it looks like this: ansaugluftvorwärmung.jpeg ansaugluftvorwärmung2.jpeg If I understand it correctly the piston in this part should press the hot air closed and the vacuum can pull ...

I was able to find out what it is now. It's neither for the hot air flapper nor the cruise control, but for a cold running regulator which did not come with the car but was added afterwards to achieve a better emissions class (Euro2) so the car costs less in taxes. The vacuum hose that connects to n...

Hi, I removed the PCV system today, because the car (1996 Volvo 850, non-turbo 2,4L 10V B5252S engine) failed the glove test and the dipstick smoke test. It was actually easier to do than I expected, no screw that snapped off or was rounded in the whole process. :lol: I didn't order the parts yet be...

Don't forget to seal properly under the cowl if you find where the water is leaking Doesn't look like there was any water leaking at all. No signs of corrosion, I also looked inside the holes with a flashlight and the PCB also doesn't show any signs of something that could be wrong. I think I just ...

I can't see any traces of water up to this point. I've removed the relays and the shunts. Should I remove the CEM further from the housing anyway? The connector also doesn't want to come off like in the video after removing the screw…

They always make it look easy in the videos, its not real world, they already removed it and put it back before turning on the camera. In reality it takes a lot of fighting, band aids and cursing. You disconnected the battery right? if not, do so. I always disconnect the battery when I'm working on...

Does anyone know if I can just pull them off? 1. You can try to fix it yourself if you have soldering experience. I would do that if I would get it apart mechanically. I already had to glue three things which I broke after removing the dashboard. Hence I don't want to pull the delicate needles out ...

Try looking with a flash light under the dash, see which CEM you have (look up on Ebay CEM 2003 vs 2004), the 2004-up one is prone to water ingress and may affect the DIM. You may even see water marks on it, especially if it did rain recently. Saying this because normally only the 02-03 DIM without...

How did it happen ? All of a sudden ? Being fine just before ? All of a sudden. Apparently it worked this afternoon and when my father reparked the car in the evening it didn't work anymore. Normally these silver rings are normally from 2004 when the DIM was upgraded to a better quality one. Sorry,...

Hi, my mother's Volvo V70 II 2.4L from 2003 2004 has a problem with the dashboard: volvov70_problem_tacho.jpeg This is how it looks when the motor is running. All the four pointer instrument don't work (RPM should be around 800 otherwise for example). The two text displays in the middle just shows g...
