Hey Ho! do you know when the c70 with the 2 liter diesel is officially available? how long do the delivery times (experiences with other engines desired) want to drive open in summer 08 (from May)…when should I stop by at the friendly one? greez vummy

Hello, we have always driven only diesel (Mercedes, BMW). But due to the horrendous prices for this and no prospect of improvement, we are at the moment seriously superior to buying a vehicle with ethanol-powered (E85) engine. The selection is not quite large yet, Ford is not in question. The next Saab dealer is also quite far away. Just remain the Volvo. It is definitely to become a limousine, therefore the S40. What experiences there with the FlexiFuel moto r? How does it behave in cold temperatures (should it be a problem with ethanol from time to time)? And what is the consumption? Thanks! MfG Franzl

Hello guys, Are a few days I heard in my V50 T5 summum no basses anymore… That’s ka****, because with a Premium Sound Packet that would be great. Anyway, the mechanic at the Volvo dealer said now that all 4 loudspeakers in the doors are broken and you can’t really explain it… Does any of you know this phenomenon??? Greetz Joe

Hello, now my elk has about 1 1/2 months and already small cracks (only superficially so 2 mm long) on the passenger seat. Volvo has promt the guarantee service for this with the reason that the “cut” was created by foreign influence (nivet on jeans, zipper, etc.). I find already a weak performance. Especially since the car has only 4500 km down and was rarely driven with passenger. Also, the leather just seems to me in this quilted area even thinner, wi e at the other seats. After 130′ km nothing was missing from my old BMW. Has anyone had similar experiences? Am I already considering whether I should have a look at this by a reviewer (ADAC or something). VG Chris

HAllo Volvo municipality, after almost 12 years VW and AUDI it looks now almost as if my next car becomes a Volvo V50. Before I finally hit you I ask for your assessment or help: 1. Is the price ok? 2.0 TDi 100KW BJ 12/2004 49000KM Momentum equipment black-metallic SHZ Bi-Xenon Audio package High Performance CD changer climate control roof railing phone GSM sports suspension ex factory new 17″ LM rims ZAURAK cruise control BC MF steering wheel aluminum inserts etc. Usedwa 2. Can I install the Volvo IPOD adapter here without any problems? 3. Are there known V50 vulnerabilities that I should look at before buying? 4. Do you have a TIP for a cheap insurance company? Thank you and Gruss, Tobi

Yesterday evening on the way home from an appointment I noticed already in the city traffic that my moose somehow pulls badly when speeding up in a speed range. Thought first I made up my mind then however to check my subjective impression to drive out the next motorway exit and to test this overland. Then I went into the 4th gear and kept the car so almost exactly at 2400 revolutions. The speed range where I had the feeling he was running zä h. And look here: An eternal light jerking back and forth on the gas, you can also feel it a little bit in the vehicle, as if you were hanging on a rubber rope or better like an old petrol truck where the ignition distributor is in the bucket. Not to be felt strongly but permanently present at constant speed. What can that be now again.

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!
