Hello! On my Volvo S40 2,4 last Saturday a conrod broke down and hit me through the engine block. Through the resulting hole in the engine it caught fire. I then (stupidly) extinguished this fire. Now the learned, what is the cause. I had an LPG gas system installed at the KM stand of 89000. Until this time the engine ran flawlessly. Oil consumption was not a topic at all. However, the engine damage was caused by oil shortages. But I had not checked the oil 400 KM before and it was at the maximum level. On Friday last week the car was to adjust the gas system at the company Oecotec in Lengerich. After that the car ran perfectly, at least 350 KM. Then it came to the said damage. Would be grateful about your opinions, or tips, since I do not want to stay at the expense of the new engine (7000 €). Greeting Bernd

Hello, I have a question for the (a few) 1.6 B drivers. I have the following “problem” every now and then: Every now and then the engine doesn’t start at the first attempt. The Anlsser normally turns the engine, even as fast as ever, but it doesn’t work. Even longer stops about 5 sec. doesn’t help. The second attempt then starts, but “shakes” partly from the speed cellar. (But goes fast) The whole thing only happens when the engine was warm and the car then 1-5 hours It has never been for shorter or longer breaks. The whole thing rarely happens, since the new software 2 months ago exactly 2 times. In the error memory there is nothing, the Frendliche knows nothing about it. But I’m surprised. Does anyone have an idea? Does the error occur with others too? Perhaps also with other engines? A mechanic from Volvo has once typed the key, so I will try the other one. Thanks Torsten

Hi to all unfortunately I no longer had time to write here since my new c70 was finally there. he has now almost 9oo km on the clock after 5 weeks and was gently drive in, heist I come with 62 liter ultimate super proud 750 km far ! the consumption of my c70 is below that of the small c30 with 170 ps !I have 140 hp. c30 ha ? yes I have to drive a c30 at the time of volvo ,unfortunately !Why ? the car I got on 11 september it had no processing defects at first Look! unfortunately only on the 2nd! 1. The driver’s door grinds a little bit on the rubber when making (hangs ).The passenger’s door doesn’t do that at all .and closes clean. 2. the love aux !if I don’t have an mp3 player or psp clasp I have a nice surrending noise on my boxes from aux (it’s no cable in aux) nevertheless this surren.if I close everything I still hear it !just because I like to listen to loud music with this super system (premium sound). I also have this surren. the cable from the mp3 plate, no improvement !( ps : the c30 has also aux and the same problem ! my08 ! 3. my phone in the car which is a fixture of volvo also has the nice buzzing in the phone ear ! (you can hear it when you go on aux and the loudness turns up. no cable in the aux plug in!then it is audible loud.with cable and mp3 player it is also audible.) this week Monday I then brought the car back and told my friend that he was only w I need to report to me if the problem has been fixed with the aux! I am mad at the volvo in sweden the problem! but nothing can do (can) ? otherwise the car is my dreams .and there are no faults so far. I feel in berlin almost as if the c 70 is threatened with extinction ,I just don’t see any ! Only on the highway 1 times from berlin to Heilbronn near leipzig. Please write me if you have such problems with your aux connection . your c70v Loved

Tomorrow we picked up our Volvo V50 2.0D from the inspection. Result: I am at 230€ poorer and the problems could not be solved. The problems were: clattering back right, playing in the passenger seat, when switched down, the car sometimes gives gas on its own and keeps the speed instead of braking by motor brake (on straight track). So I had brought the oil myself (SLX R-Tec 0-W30) since however only 5.5 L should be pure I assumed a Half a liter to get back. So I did, only half a liter that I got back was not the fully synthetic Castrol SLX R-Tec 0-W30, but a Castrol GTX 5-W30! Then I asked and the friendly one poured half a liter into a barrel and filled me with half a liter of SLX R-Tec 0-W30. Now I have the fear, however, that he also made the oil change with the 5-W30 oil, that means he kept my higher quality oil and mi The friendly one said it was already the 0-W30, but I don’t know if I should believe it. what do you think about it? and what do you think of the price. The price of 231€ consists of: -46€ tyre change – 13€ oil filter, the rest is wages, because I did not have to pay the oil, I hjalte the price for quite proud. nice greetings

Hello, I’m thinking if we should get a V 50. Have two children (9 and 7) who populate the rear seats. Now I’ve been sitting in it once, if the driver’s seat is set for me, I find the knee clearance in the back acceptable, but my feet just fit under the driver’s seat. The Volvo has some kind of doll in the footroom back, so I can’t move the feet anymore. Does anyone of you drive a V50 with children in the back? Is the space available ok? Or is it going to be fast too tight? I don’t care about the luggage compartment, in case of doubt a roof box comes along, then it fits anyway. By the way we drive now nn V70 D5 (163 hp), which is nice big, but you drive just a lot alone, short distance or city, and there I find it rather tacky and a little “unjointed”. And the fuel consumption is certainly also lower with the V50!? Roemi

Hello together, I’m just putting together my interior equipment (for V50). I’m really stunned, the views and patterns I’ve seen are too small. You can hardly recognize anything, let alone imagine it. Unfortunately, my friend has no V50/S40/C30/C70 with real wood Nordic standing around. The wood looks really nice. I just wonder how sensitive the surface is? Is the wood painted or otherwise treated somehow? How scratch-sensitive i the surface? Volvo also installed wood on the door handles, I wonder what that looks like after 2 years? I used to find wood in the car always stupid, but it becomes really more comfortable in the long run! The inlays alu should not be scratch-resistant either. Thanks already to the wood fans….Micha
