Can the Philips or Osram H7 LED bulbs be installed in the V50 instead of the normal halogen H7?

Good evening I have a question about the plus cable on the battery. This has 2 outlets that have such a kind of flat sheet metal, and something rectangular, see picture, the left cable it is, what is the starter, is probably permanent plus. What is this rectangular “thing”? The one cable that goes on the starter, is something wrong, because the voltage drops rapidly from the battery pool to the cable. Is it about a fuse? The problem began on Saturday that the starter only clicks. Battery is new since winter, voltage ok. Starter replaced, still clacked…. Relays in the engine room (same) already exchanged against each other. Is a machine, therefore nothing to push on. Voltage on the starter just like battery. Voltage on the starter terminal only 1.7V So for me at the moment the most important question is once again, in the cable shortly after the batterypoool a fuse, resistance or whatever? Please just report Who has had or knows the same, thank you much.

Hy people, I want to change my winter tires myself, but I need a torque wrench for it, what size is needed for it? So [1/2″] is now my guess …. And what moment must be set???

Hello everyone, I drive a C30 D5 with AEZ Xylo 7.5×18 ET43 with 225/40-18 tires. This went without rework and it grinds nothing, although I also have a 30mm lowering. Now we will get another C30 (D3) and are looking for 18-inch rims for this, which I fit with 30mm lowering. Unfortunately, the Xylo will not be produced more than 18inch and I don’t like the Ronal R41 so much. At 8×18 ET45 I find only rims with runs. I would be interested here whether someone drives an 8×18 ET45 rim or a 7.5×18 ET40 rim with 225/40 and has got it removed without rework, although it is something in most reports. And if what rims have fit with you with which tires? Here is a typical edition K42 on axle 2 by reworking the wheelhouse edges a sufficient free-accessibility of the wheel tire combination.

Hello, scary, unfortunately in the workshop have found a crack, respectively cracks of the oil tank starting at the oil drain screw. Can someone tell me what a new oil tank costs, or where there are the things at a reasonable price. Volvo V 50 2.0 D Summum 02/05 115000 km Thanks already

Hello, with my V50 MJ09 I experienced the following on Friday as well as yesterday: I drive about 50 km to the highway, want to activate my cruise control there, “Cruise” lights up, but with “+” or “-” I can’t program speed. I stay in a parking lot, switch off the engine, start new and cruise control works. Yesterday a similar game: I drive on the highway with a working cruise control, take a pee break, then continue and cruise control does not function again with “+” or “-“. Stay back – motor off – on: funzt. Has anyone ever had this? Please for explanations *g* Pope

According to the Swedish Teknikens Värld, a five-door version of the C30 will soon appear called V30. Here is a picture of the cover of the magazine. Since I have no access to the article, I can’t say anything about the supposed timing etc.

Hello you, my 2G iPhone works perfectly with the USB port of the high performance system of our V50. A friend had his brand new iPhone 3G with him today, but his iPod function was not recognized. Does someone already have the iPhone 3Gs (not the 3G) and can contribute experience values? Thank you, Phileas

Require 4 new tyres and a few offers in the meantime, but there are still some questions unanswered. At the moment I drive the Continental SportContact 2 brand in size 205/50R17 93W. I was very satisfied with this tire so far, also the mileage is fine for me. As a new purchase come into question: – Continental SportContact 3 – Michelin Primacy HP The Volvo workshop offers the tyre with the name 93W, the tyre dealer says that also Speedindex V and Lastindex 89 would be allowed. This would have no disadvantages, only advantages with the price. I am now unsure why Volvo does not draw attention to this variant. The Volvo offer is also about 25% higher than with the tyre dealer. Volvo wants me to sell Michelin Primacy, which would increase the final price by another 50 euros. Who has had experience with one of the two mentioned tyres and can tell me something about it, among other things also because of the km performance, comfort and rolling noise. The tyre dealer tells me that the Michelin would offer more comfort, but is really fit?

Hi guys! I don’t know if my question has been discussed here before but I haven’t found it yet. I would like to renew my light bulbs on my V50 and exchange them for Philips NightGuide pears. I don’t know if I need H7S or H7R pears for this. Does anyone know anything about this? Thanks V50 Jäger
