  • C30 Callback action

    Moin moin, I received a letter from him on Friday. In it I is informed that my C30 is affected by a recall action. I should make a half-hour appointment with just this one, so that the affected part can be checked. Nice, that they tell me already what it is about… After I called here today, they didn’t know much about this recall action at first, only thought that they had probably come up new and had to ask someone else first. Said in turn. It came out that it was the engine fan (which,how,how,usw. was not said). Think that I will take the one this week to the workshop and then see what will happen if someone already knows what should not be with it. I drive a C30 with EZ: 01/07, but only since 08/08 in my possession. MfG Puhdy

  • Cover problems C70

    Hello together, I have opened the cover again today after the winter and already there were the first problems. The cover opens and closes already, but two things have occurred to me: 1. The loading aid function is no longer possible, i.e. when I press the yellow button in the trunk with the cover opened does nothing more…. In the autumn this went still impeccable. Has anyone had this from you? If yes, what was the problem? 2. In the trunk cover is a felt covering inside. This always tangles with the retracting cover made of plastic, which is in open condition between the headrests and the actual boot cover. This inside felt cover is fixed in the lid with small plastic clips, which are constantly lost by the hooking, because it rips off the cover. A clip costs 8 €! These would still be of interest to me, but the problem remains. Why does this felt cover always tangle on the inner cover? Slowly bothers me, because the scratch cover also has to interrupt the cover.

  • Wheel change at V50???

    Hello, yesterday I tried to change my winter bikes with my Volvo myself, because I didn’t get an appointment in the workshop at short notice. It’s not the first time that I changed wheels with different cars, but never as unsuccessful as with the V50!!! When I released the five wheel nut and cranked up the car, the bike was still bomb-proof, so I couldn’t take it off. My suspicion that I had to solve the mother in the middle of the hub was also wrong – I hope I didn’t make a mistake… Can someone give me a tip on what I have to do and change the wheels!?

  • S40 advertising

    Moin, I have to unload my displeasure about the new S40 commercial. That the woman doesn’t want to let the boy in the passenger seat, who thinks her new car is cool, can have reasons. But that he can’t even touch him (“finger off!” is really ridiculous. I’m kind of disappointed by this spot. Just because I really like Volvo marketing (at least the corporate communication). Besides Mercedes and Audi, they do the best TV spots and super good websites. Also with sympathetic women, such as the V70 spot (“the sports car”). So, nothing against Volvo, but the spot makes me kind of unsympathetic. Otherwise, great brand, maybe even a Volvo would have before the door, but they didn’t want to approve a test ride… -Ebe

  • 2.4 Petrol exhaust noise at full load and cold engine

    my 140hp-5cylinder petrol has the following behaviour (only in cold) engine: with only medium load up to full gas it makes a loud noise, as if (in the front of the engine compartment) anything was leaking at the air eye or in the exhaust system (crackers?) and would be pressed in between. The engine now has 205tkm down and otherwise runs very well, jerk-free, jumps normally on etc. after 5 minutes drive the noise is gone. That means it gets less and less when the engine is completely warm, the noise is also gone at full load (full gas). Does anyone know that? What could it be?

  • How can I check my airbags?

    Hello, since yesterday I have my “new” Volvo 850 TDI. When I drove home to the yard I looked over the dashboard. Since much then I looked up the cover of the passenger airbag. Their edges stand up. If I light up the ignition instead of all the bulbs. Only I can’t detect/find an airbag light. I’ve been looking for a long time here in the forum. It was said that it would have to burn an airbag light for a short while. That the car has defects like a defective wheel bearing, spinning starter, or it drips at the front right of the tub oil is all ok. I can also get the defective ABS. BUT with the airbags I don’t understand any fun. Also with a 1000 € Volvo not. Therefore my two questions: How can I find out if I still have airbags? How can I check if they would work? Can someone help me?

  • It should be young used C30

    I would like to spend about 15,000€.. which is not the absolute limit of pain now. Love a Volvo C30, because it is just so refreshingly different. I still like only the Guilietta, while the well-known suspects like 1 or A3 are simply too boring. So two questions. What are the costs for the portable Navi? The Volvo side doesn’t give anything. On the Swiss side, almost 1000 francs are indicated, but I don’t know if I can easily convert that. I prefer built-in Navis, but if the impact for the fixed Navi is simply too large, it’s more worthwhile to have a portable installation. Of course, look directly at mobile.de. He jumped into my eye.http://suchen.mobile.de/…/showDetails.html?… Does that just happen to me or is the car too cheap for the equipment and running performance/age? Or is that just the price level?

  • Problems with water, What must give the guarantee

    Hello am new here in the forum and I also have a big problem. I bought a Volvo C30 not quite 1.5 years ago. from the beginning I had problems with this car – I probably got one of these Monday cars now since this time with water that comes both in stand as well as when driving at the doors in the car. have already water stains on the seat. Now I want to ask what such a new car guarantee has to give. Have I claim to a new seat and what if the workshop does not get the problem with the water in the grip (was already 3 or 4 times there) thank you already for your answer

  • Brake system – grinding and quipping during braking

    Hello, have read here on the page just from the Volvo at Ebay with 1 million km. and am very impressed. I am curious if we can hold our V70 so long. So far he does not make himself bad, I must confess to the joy. But he also has only 200 tkm. Up to 1 million is still a lot of air. But now to my great worry, the brake system. She grinds and squeaks while braking since I have mounted the summer tyres at Easter. The first thought, the brake pads have not been confirmed. I had taken off a wheel of the VA again to check the pads,although I had looked at the pads at Easter,they are in my opinion, they still have 5-6 mm covering.What is it then? Maybe the age? They have been exchanged with the brake discs and have run 70 tkm. I will also look at the brakes of the HA once Greeting Luis

  • Delete source: feasible and useful?

    Hello guys, I wonder who needs a vehicle here in Germany, where you can always see the source Radio AM when you switch between radio, CD and CD changer. Can you let AM be taken out completely? I don’t see the sense of listening to me with a good FM availability (possibly Radio Vatican? ) Then the selection goes faster and I can concentrate on driving instead of looking for a long time. What’s the point, it just bugs me. I would even hide tape right away because I don’t need it. I’m curious if I have to go to Holland!
