First of all, a “hello” to everyone. Now to my request: At the moment, I drive another Opel Vectra. As this one slowly blows out his life, I am looking for a new “needed”. Like chance, a neighbor just sold his V50. It’s a V50 BJ. 2005 2.0D with 50,000km on the clock. The car is checkbook maintained and also the optical condition is 1A. There are even floor mats over the foot mats have been laid…. Since I find Volvos long time ago it is really in the fingers. Well, my question. I already have a little googled and find all the opinions: From Super Car to Total Scrap. Especially, the reports about engine damage and similar capital damage have scared me. Of course, I don’t need that if I now claim for a car, that he will have a motor damage next year. (Guarante has one of privately purchased ones). How do you see this? Are the “individual cases” or is here a serial greeting.

After 40000 the PS gearbox on the board***** my climate loses the coolant. Was filled up about a month ago (was down to almost 300g). Today only warm air came again. Compressor doesn’t turn on anymore. So think that it is empty again. Really to break slowly the box. Car is just 1.5 years old… that’s not a lemon but a whole lemon tree…………doesn’t really have any fun anymore. I also hoped that the flapping at the higher temps will be less. was probably nothing. like a children’s rattle……….. Am already a little disappointed at the moment.

Moin, so I would like to know if anyone has already had experiences with the BSR Optiflow Intake?! I have already looked at the system of K&N, but I am completely averse to it, because the control unit does not get any “fresh air” in any way and could therefore possibly overheat it. I like the system of BSR already more, because the air filter is still shielded by a complete box which is roughly identical to the original part, also the connection for the fresh air supply is guaranteed. I would like to install something like this, however, because the control unit is usually cooled by the flowing air. If anyone has had personal experiences with it, I would be happy to hear if a cooling of the ECU is actually guaranteed. Point 2 Besides, I wanted to build additional instruments, mainly oil temp and oil pressure, but charging pressure would also be nice to thank you. These new cars have something that is no longer in it, actually something that is really useful!

Hello to all friends of Sweden. I have my C30 D5 Momentum with all the extras except body kit since March 07. (price approx. 35T€) I find the car is a small but very nice blender. After about 8TKM and half a year I can report the following: 1. Low power, subjectively at the level of approx. 120 – 140 Diesel-PS 2. Consumption between 8.3 and 9.5 l/100 Km after “Software update” in case of two complaints with the dealer (before 9-10,3 l/Km) 3. Top speed is not reached – max. speed approx. 210 km/h (but only after a long start) 4. Rugging in gears, especially when switching down in the small gears 5. Kick-down is only reluctantly assumed 6. Cracking in driver’s seat during cornering 7. Wind noises in the driver’s door starting from 160 km/h 8. Disc wiper motion on the brake pedal is noticeable 9. Vibrations in the disguise. rear and on the sliding roof with open roof. As a small criticism, I would still perform the seats without sides. If the other D30 D30 or the car can not keep quiet with the D30 or even with the driver’s.

Hello to the Volvo models (especially V50) detailed specifications on the Internet, i.e. with transmission ratios, brake sizes etc. – I am particularly interested in the automatic transmission in the V50 in connection with the diesel engines. Is there any data/specifications on the Internet – or experts here in the forum?! I am particularly interested in: – Is it an automatic converter, or a double coupling gearbox (DKG)? – If DKG, which manufacturer? (Always still the carrier gearbox, as Ford is built? – How does the manual mode work? (We automatically kick-down in “M” prevented?; Are there additional switch swabs?) – Which transmission translations does the automatic transmission have? (incl. final translation?) – Does the transmission have a start-stop automatic? (Has anyone practical experience with the automatic?) Greetings from the South!!

Hi, today I gave my little one in the hands of the friend and his doctors for less than 2 hours. Now the double tube system of Heico as well as the appropriate air filter is mounted. I can only say I am thrilled. I liked the sound of the 5cylinder before but now it is simply HAMMER. In the area of 2000-3000upm it roars something in the interior that can disturb a manchma but from 3000 it sounds more like V6 than after 5cylinders. The workmanship is of course also Top and a body kit Volvo with only one tube looks somehow unfinished . I take the days still photos and try to somehow make some good recordings of sound and upload them.
