  • Experience with S40 1.8 FlexiFuel?

    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

  • 2004 V50 T5 Summum: All speakers defective… ๐Ÿ™‚

    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

  • V50 leather quality

    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

  • Engine problems the 100th

    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 zรค 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.

  • Engine death at 94000

    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 โ‚ฌ). Greeting Bernd

  • 1.6 B engine does not start sporadic

    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
