The light column of dynamic LED indicators, which rises from the inside to the outside, ensures greater attention and therefore also greater safety. They are now established in many vehicles on the road and have also been approved in Germany for several years.

These LED turn signals are now available for retrofitting to almost all Volvo models from 2007 onwards. The retrofit kit replaces the original indicators plug and play, nothing needs to be programmed or activated.

The indicators naturally have an E-mark and are therefore legal and registration-free.

The dynamic LED indicators are now available in the store under the numbers below for the vehicles listed behind them.

On Thursday it was time to set up our service area, again there were many hands and a quick finish.

Friday morning at 6 a.m. we set off to view the stages. After 450 km in the Volvo, Steffen and I realized once again that the Volvo is not for long distances, our buttocks were flat and we had fallen asleep. The external stages are going to be as fast as a pig and for us the end is at 160 km/h in 4th gear.

At 6:12 p.m. we finally set off with start number 75, show start in Grömitz on the beach promenade and on to SS1.

This was immediately interrupted by start number 3, a serious accident (both are fine again). As the route was blocked, we were directed to SS2. Here there was also an accident and we were diverted again, so the first 2 stages were over, not a meter driven but off to the 1 service.
Here we were rewarded with a delicious dinner from our kitchen for doing nothing. The service guys also had time off.

It went into the 2nd loop, SS1 now SS3 still closed, so on to SS4. Now we were allowed to drive and could experience the 4th time of 9 Volvos.

We went to bed at around 0:00 and at 8:33 we started again. Now the stages on Putlos with a high proportion of gravel awaited us, so we switched to gravel in the early service.

We were able to defend our position from the previous day on the upcoming 4 stages there, the stages were so much fun that we celebrated at the finish. It also happened that I took off my helmet, put it in the back of the car and realized after about 1.5 km of the connecting stage that I couldn't read the speedometer at all - shit! Glasses left on the roof, gone.

What do we have service for? To get a pair of glasses so that Silvio can see again. We called briefly and were told straight away that the servo was making noises. When we arrived at the service department, we got the reading aid from Mutti, ok a field road now looked as wide as a highway, but this can also be an advantage, let's make the best of it.
The bracket on the servo broke and it was child's play for the guys. A temporary solution was put in place and, as we all know, they last...? That's how it was.

The next 4 stages were driven on asphalt again and so we put different tires on.

We were still able to drive Wp9, but it didn't go so well for us, the tender 100 hp on the bike didn't want or couldn't achieve what we wanted. Only 7th time.

Wp10 there was an accident involving a Swedish Volvo team, again the route was blocked and we were diverted.

Wp11 the same as Wp9 with the same result.

Wp12 was canceled and we headed towards Grömitz to the finish ramp.

After 7 of 12 stages (5 were canceled due to accidents) we were more than happy with 3rd place in the class. We were rewarded with full points for the German Volvo Cup.

We were also both happy with the all-round support in the service department, as there were more people looking after the Volvo at every service than at the beginning. We were also well looked after by the kitchen during this time and will probably have to re-mark our belts soon, after service 1, after service 2, etc. But at some point the belt will come to an end.
We spent the evening raving about the Baltic Sea Rally over a beer and it was clear that we'd be back in 2025.

A big thank you to everyone involved who contributed to this event, it would never have been possible on our own!

But now it's time to concentrate fully on the next round: next up is Badschmiedeberg in Saxony-Anhalt, a round of the Schottercup, keep your fingers crossed that we can continue to defend the top of the table.

Drifting greetings
Your Silvio

The advantage of this type of transmission is that no plastic joints fall apart with age, as is often the case with some other vehicle manufacturers. In the Volvo 200, 700 and 900, the front wiper mechanisms in particular are also among the inconspicuous, robust parts. Defects usually only occur at astronomical mileages.

In addition to a worn motor or a seized wiper shaft, the stainless steel transmission cables occasionally break. A seized wiper shaft may be to blame, but in most cases the cable is simply fatigued.

Crane operators refer to this as “discarded rope” when individual wires break and the rope splices. Replacement is then absolutely essential.

Now, with a wiper boom, a load weighing several tons does not immediately fall on your head if the rope breaks. Nevertheless, it is more than annoying when a wiper arm suddenly stops in the pouring rain. And rest assured: this is exactly when it happens.

Most of these cables are no longer available from the vehicle manufacturer. Of course, we noticed this when a friend came to the door with exactly this problem a few months ago. Because there was still a used wiper linkage lying around somewhere, it was quickly repaired. After this incident, we took a closer look at our cars and realized that it wouldn't have lasted much longer in some places.

We obtained samples of the ropes and ordered a reproduction. None of us wanted to wait out the rain on the hard shoulder either.

We tested the new ropes on three wiper mechanisms and found them to be good; one of our cars is already undergoing the endurance test. On two of these used linkages from cars with 340,000-450,000 kilometers, one cable was already on the verge of breaking. When we write that you should have a look, then this is serious advice and, at least in the case of the 700 and 900 Volvo, can be done quickly.

The water tank also gratefully accepts a little cleaning and preservation, and the linkage is also happy to receive some grease.

The reproduced stainless steel cables for the wiper mechanism are now available in our store under the numbers listed below.

suitable for the following models:

• Volvo 200: all models
• Volvo 700: all models
• Volvo 900: all models
• Volvo S90, V90 (-1998): all models

• Video: Wiper mechanism installation

On the occasion of this theme, there will be a variety of interesting replicas and replacements with modern technology. SKANDIX will be presenting a number of new products with which you can keep your classic up to date.

You will also find more SKANDIX product innovations from this year at our stand. We will be showing high-quality Volvo parts and a selection of Saab spare parts.

Another highlight besides the actual trade fair is the parking lot, where you will find a large number of impressive classic treasures.

We look forward to your visit to the SKANDIX booth and the opportunity for a personal conversation.

The ADAC Baltic Sea Rally is also on our schedule - the last start of the season for the German Rally Championship and we from the Volvo Cup are allowed to take part.
Our preparations have been going on for a long time, everyone in the team had recognized their task by themselves, it was organized or done. Our team is simply a self-runner and we would like to say a big thank you in advance!

Ted Malm is also at the start with his Volvo Euro Cup and 18 Volvos from Sweden and Norway, with a total of 22 Volvos we are the strongest class at this event.
After an 8-year break, Stefan Haberland from Tegernsee will be joining us on the canvas with a rented Volvo 940. We are looking forward to seeing him again.

Twelve tough special stages over a total distance of 135 kilometers lie ahead of us. The show start is on Friday at 17:01 at the Festwiese on Uferstraße in Grömitz, after which the first four special stages begin. The first stage ends in the evening at around 20:44, when the vehicles arrive at the rally center in Lensahn for servicing.

On Saturday, the second round starts at 08:36 hrs on the Putlos military training area with four royal stages, which are unique in the German rally scene due to their route characteristics and location directly on the Baltic Sea. Four more special stages will follow before the top three in each class are expected to cross the finish line in Grömitz at around 18:30, where the final award ceremony will also take place.

The brackets on the inner, upper headlight mounting are almost invisible small parts, of which only the end of the stud can be seen when the bonnet is open. They connect the bonnet brackets to the headlamp holder and the centre section in front of the radiator.

If, for example, a headlight or the air conditioning condenser needs to be removed, these brackets must be removed or loosened. As the stud bolt to which the headlamp is attached faces forwards and is therefore exposed to wind and weather, it tends to resist attempts to loosen it as it ages. The nut is often hopelessly rusted and the stud bolt tears off.

The vehicle manufacturer discontinued the brackets without replacement around two years ago. As we still use these cars ourselves in everyday life and work on them, we know only too well how easily this small but important part can come loose.

So we didn't think twice and had a small series produced.

The brackets are now available in the shop under the numbers 1034162 and 1034163.

Suitable for

• Volvo 940 all models
• Volvo 960 up to 1994

They are the connection between the trailing arm and the axle and have to absorb a lot of lateral forces when cornering. As a result of this and of course also due to age, the vulcanization becomes loose or the rubber webs simply tear off.

The result is poor handling due to the axle shifting sideways when cornering. In the worst case, the wheels rub in the wheel arch and damage the tires and paintwork. We already had a car like this in the workshop as a test object, with clear rubbing marks in the wheel arch.

Volvo designed it this way at the time with the aim of increasing comfort; on the Amazon, this connection was still rigid. Even later on the Volvo 700/900, the trailing arms were again bolted firmly to the axle.

Replacing these bushes is a rather difficult task without the appropriate special tool: the two-part mountings of the bushes are delicate and not connected to each other. If the wrong or unsuitable tool is used, they are quickly bent and the mounts are no longer aligned. Corrosion between the mounts and bushes naturally does not make things any easier on vehicles of this age. We have also seen bushes that have been hopelessly destroyed during installation.

The mechanics among us were almost all familiar with these problems, almost everyone has or has had a 240, so we took the original pressing tool as a sample and had it reproduced. We also had the support shell built, which is clamped between the two mounts and is not part of the pressing tool. It ensures that the two mounts retain their position in relation to each other.

Apparently, some mechanics have occasionally forgotten the support tray on the car, as it has been out of stock for a few years longer than the press tool set.

We tested the new tools and found them to be good. A colleague's Volvo 240 is now driving really well again and the repair was completed in two hours.

The tools are now available in our store under the numbers 1040781 (support shell) and 1040779 (press tool set).

Finally, two tips from our own experience:

Before first use, all threads of pressing tools or pullers should always be well oiled or - even better - greased (e.g. with 1074346 Anti-Seize High-Tech assembly paste) to prevent galling.

Over the decades, corrosion has often caused the bearing seats of the bushings to become slightly larger. As a result, new bushes could move sideways and were therefore fixed in place with welding points in the seat. This was practiced even in authorized workshops. Check your old bushes for such welding points. These must be removed before using the pressing tool.

Fits the following vehicles:

• Volvo 164: model from 1975
• Volvo 240, 260, 262: all models

This year, 65 members of the VOLVO Klassiker Interessengemeinschaft met in beautiful weather in the beautiful Siegerland. One highlight followed the next over the three days. The meeting point and base camp for the three days was the spacious 4-star Dorint Hotel in Siegen. From here, the journey took them along the traditional “Iron Road” through the densely wooded Siegerland to neighboring Hesse. Here the Volvo friends visited the impressive Loh Collection (National Automobile Museum), which is only a year old and has already won several awards.

On the delightful way back, there is still some Siegerland local history in the Wilnsdorf museum. Back at the hotel, the participants were already awaiting the next highlight, a colorful IG evening with three attractive main prizes from SKANDIX. On Sunday, the Technik Museum in Freudenberg was on the agenda. And before you knew it, the long-awaited weekend was already over.

Due to its unconventional, but nevertheless well thought-out design, the first sources of rust are usually in other places than the average of many other manufacturers. On the one hand, this concerns the drive shaft tunnels often mentioned in buyer's guides, which are also known to be a weak point in the Saab 99, and on the other hand, the front wheel arches are often affected by rust.

This is due to the somewhat peculiar design with sheet metal inner fenders welded to the outer fenders. They give the front end additional rigidity, but are naturally more susceptible to rust than plastic wheel arch liners.

In many conventionally designed cars, this problem is otherwise only known from the rear axle.

We have had the front mudguards 1003061 (left) and 1003062 (right) for the 87-93 models reproduced for several years, but as they are welded to the inner mudguards and therefore form overlapping panels, the inner mudguard is usually just as rusty.

It therefore became clear relatively quickly that we also wanted to have the inner fenders produced as a complete part according to the original pattern. Unlike a repair panel, they should enable a repair that is as true to the original as possible.

The reproduced inner fenders have already been available in our store for several years under the numbers 1017908 (left) and 1017909 (right). Nevertheless, we are often asked about them and would therefore like to mention them again at this point. Many Saab 900 drivers are not aware that this repair option exists.

On July 20, we went to the rally in Teterow, a hill climb designed for motorcycles.

10 Volvos were at the start. The weather was perfect and we knew it was going to be hot, even in the car.

We set off at 12:30 p.m. and the "hot" issue was reflected in the display. We, or rather the engine, wanted to start boiling, the fan was probably stuck. We rolled down the hill to the start with the help of gravity. 5, 4 ... engine on, 3, 2, 1 go. We were supposed to do 3 laps. Based on the temperature display, we briefly wondered whether we should pull out, but oh no, it'll hold.

When we arrived at the finish line, the driving time was recorded and lo and behold, the fan was working again and the temperature was dropping. A quick check under the hood and on to the scoring round 2.

This was very rolly and it often carried us a long way out.

Scoring round 3 without boiling water this time, but a bit faster.

Scoring round 4, which had just been rolling, had a turn-off behind a stone. This time there was grip, I had underestimated it and so the baby wanted to go in the new direction far too early. There was a short bang and you thought the wheel had come off.

But we couldn't stop at this point, nobody would have been able to get past. There was still propulsion, so we continued the 400 meters to the finish on what felt like 3 wheels.

We were out.

Since I started my vacation with the family from Teterow, co-pilot Steffen took the Volvo home with him, father Fred Mollitor searched the workshop on Monday and grabbed all the SKANDIX bags to bring them to Steffen. Tuesday afternoon the news: Volvo is ready and measured. That's what I call a best time, 1st place overall!

Our vacation ends on 3rd of August in Wangels on the Baltic Sea and there we will drive the Holsten Rally, thanks to all the hard-working helpers this is possible.

I love my team and am extremely grateful!

Best regards, your Silvio and the SKANDIX-Motorsport team.

A turbocharger is usually mounted between the manifold and the flame tube, so it cannot be supplied with the vital lubricant directly from the engine block. The turbocharger needs this to lubricate and cool the shaft, even with a water-cooled turbocharger, as is the case here.

For this reason, there is usually a pressure line from the engine block to the supercharger and a return line from this to the oil pan.

In the Volvo 740 and 940, this is a very solidly designed rigid pipe, which is also generously dimensioned. Failures due to leaking hose components, as with other vehicle manufacturers, are not to be feared here.

Nevertheless, it is occasionally defective, usually due to stress cracks or improper installation. After all, the tube has to be dismantled when replacing the cylinder head gasket, manifold or turbocharger. It can happen that the pipe has been dismantled three times in thirty years. Corrosion damage to the return line is very rare; it is usually well oiled during the somewhat impractical oil filter change.

The part was discontinued by the vehicle manufacturer last year. We immediately ordered a replacement, as it is impossible to operate the turbocharger without the oil pipe.

The turbocharger return oil pipe is now available in our store under the number 1023753.

Suitable for the following vehicles:

• Volvo 740: engine B200FT, Mitsubishi turbocharger
• Volvo 940, 960: from 1992 engine B200FT, B230FT, B230FK, turbocharger Mitsubishi

The reason for this is almost always the spring integrated in the opener, which eventually becomes tired and breaks.

Of course, this also happens to the other doors at some point, but in our experience it is extremely rare, as the driver's door is opened most frequently.

The spring has been discontinued by the vehicle manufacturer for some time without replacement. We had it reproduced from the original sample and tested it; it fits perfectly and the door opener returns to its original position, just like on a new car.

The replacement is quite simple. Detailed installation instructions can be found below the article. The spring for the door opener is now available in our store under the number 1027896.

Fits the following vehicles:

• Volvo 960: model from 1995
• Volvo S90, V90 (-1998): all models

For years now, there have been virtually no piston kits available for the classic, triple-bearing B16, as used in Volvo PV, Duett and Amazon up to 1961.

Recently, parts have become so scarce that the only option for an upcoming engine overhaul is to look for a usable used unit or to convert to a newer engine such as the B18 or B20.

No alternative if the car is to remain original.

Some time ago, there was a reproduction from overseas, but it didn't really meet our quality standards.

There is hardly anything more annoying than a hole in the piston of a freshly overhauled engine. To avoid such problems in the first place, we had forged pistons produced for the B16 by a well-known German original equipment manufacturer.

We have had four oversize sizes manufactured so that an engine that has already been overhauled can also be repaired. The pistons are of excellent quality and manufactured to today's standards. In terms of tolerances and material quality, our new forged pistons are clearly superior to the originals.

The new forged pistons are now available in our store under the numbers listed below.

Suitable for the following vehicles:

• Volvo 120, 130: model up to 1961, engine B16-
• Volvo PV444, 544, P445, P210: model 1957 to 1961, engine B16-
