Hello P1er! Yes, what a bad quality Volvo is installed! There you buy a Volvo (almost) new with almost 10,000 km on the clock, drives the 6.5 years and then that… The first defect! At 200,000 km the front Lambdasonde really kills! Message “Decreased engine power” (even less than before!?) and the emergency run occurs. More than 2000 rpm you can no longer turn the engine and it smells like fuel at the back. What kind of scrap! ? Not even 200,000 km gets Volvo without a gun Okay, yes, a little poorly formulated and now seriously. The first time I ever have a (serious) problem with my C30 2.0l. The engine runs, the box drives. ALL other diseases of the P1 series have NOT set up in my C30… – all 4 wheel bearings are original and from the plant still – the climate capacitor is still the first from the plant – no problems with any steering locks – no problems with the Electrics – no problems with the gearbox The “defects” I had so far were pure comfort things. Cracking drive shafts, crackling driver’s seat, creaking cathedral bearings, etc. serious problems my C30 has not yet done. Now it is in the 8 year and has 200,000 km down. Some statements from various forums included “the engine does not hold out 100,000 km” and “you should put a reserve gearbox in the trunk, you will definitely need that” and other statements. I have e don’t worry that the car will take part in another 200,000 km. And going after the condition, it will be absolutely without problems. The age of the car can’t be seen at So, so much on the subject of bad Ford quality in P1!
