    Odb ii

    I've just been browsing the internet for hours looking for an easy fix for my car and came across a lot of forums where people ask for DTC codes etc. Found out that I need a ODB2 cable and a specific reader or some PC software to get these codes. Do you guys use something like this and would...

    First car problem - reduced engine power

    First time the oil levels were outside the recommended zone which might have damaged something else if I drove like this for too long. Really hope not. After filling, the oil level is in the middle of the recommended zone. So the oil level shouldn't be a problem anymore. Don't know if I need to...

    So... What did we all get?

    Just recently moved out from my parents, so I got a lot of home appliences like a hoover, iron and ironing board, mixmaster, waffle-iron etc. Also some cash, a shirt and a pair of shoes. Money will probably be used for fixing my car which recently got a minor fault which I have no idea how to...

    First car problem - reduced engine power

    Tried filling oil. All warning lights went off and it seemed for a while that the problem was solved, but just 5 min into driving again, my car stalled and the oil lamp + error message returned. Car still starts and seems to run normally, but since I have no idea what to do, I'm leaving it until...

    First car problem - reduced engine power

    Just a second ago the warning light on my dashboard went on and my car lost almost all its power. The info display said "motorprestanda nedsatt"(Swedish) which translates to something like "Reduced engine power" or "Engine power has been reduced". The only other things i can think of is that...

    Cadence v ABS

    There's snow and ice on all roads at least 1-2 months a year during the winter in southern Norway (almost 5-6 months further north) and landscape is very dynamic with a lot of steep hills where stopping is almost impossible if you don't know what to do. Because of this, everyone in Norway has to...

    Booze cruise or Wine Sailor

    I have one very strict rule, never drive after drinking alchohol! Not even if it's just a very tiny bit. But I do enjoy having a little to much to drink now and again :) Don't think I'll ever go to France for cheap shopping tho'. That's just so typically english! I'd probably drive to Poland or...

    Cadence v ABS

    I take it most of you know the facts: - The friction between to objects is higher when they are not sliding across each other. - ABS prevents the wheels from locking and skidding, therefor maintaning better traction and stopping a car faster compared to a skidding vehicle. (on solid surfaces...

    Snow chains, winter tyres and snow socks

    Like I said in an other thread; It's illegal to drive without winter tyres in Norway during the winter. And staying home because of the snow is not an option. Been driving on snow and ice every day for at least a month now. The main roads are dry though. The government and Public Roads...

    Hi, just a quick question! The cigarette lighter in my 2002 s60 Volvo doesn't seem to work. I want to use it for basicly charging my mobile phone's battery and when I plug the charger into the car and phone nothing happens. Is this something I could as a beginner change/fix myself? - Got to...

    Cold steering wheels

    Usually just go for it, although I've had to scrape and brush snow of my car every morning the last week. Good excuse to power up and heat my car for a couple of minutes while removing all the snow and ice. By then the steering wheel isn't too cold.

    SNOW - in Kent in early December

    I've been driving on snow for the last couple of weeks! Can't stay home because of the snow in Norway. Driving on anything but mud & snow tyres is actually illegal during the winter in Norway! - Still there are a lot of idiots who drive too fast and crash! Happens every year
