Thank you Volvo, that you build such safe cars!! I was able to experience yesterday live, how sure such a V50 is built. Yesterday an Opel Astra with at least 100 kmh unbraked, into the passenger side. He packed me on the rear axle, hurled me against a tree and then pushed into the ditch. I got out as if nothing had been done. Except for a sling trauma and a slight bruise I got nothing. Only the V50 of course is completely destroyed. But no matter, you can replace it!! Ps.: also the Astra driver was God is only slightly injured thanks !!

C70 II – how much longer? Newbie is looking for advice…
Hello fan community, for a long time I am thinking of buying me a new Volvo C70 II as D3. I am first tested some used ones (2.4 gasoline 170 hp, 2.0D 136 hp), but a new D3 just convinces me more. My reasons for the C70 are this very nice appearance and a lot of space for 4 people. Since the C70 II has already come a little into the years I would like to know if and when a C70 III from Volvo is planned. But neither dealer nor importer express themselves to me about it. Now I have read in Wikipedia that the production should be completely discontinued in summer 2013 due to factory closure – without successors (?). Do you have any further information about it? I’m currently pondering about the questions whether I am buying a C70 II at all or better waiting for the successor, or just now the current model should be bought quickly before there is no more of it. Because an alternative with folding roof is not known to me (or better said: I don’t like all the alternatives). Now I hope for the advice from you pros here… By the worth of buying the premium – and the most expensive sound system is actually enough.

Child safety + defective central locking door rear
Hello, I have a problem with my rear V50 side door. The central lock no longer speaks to. When opening with the key or the button, you can hear the cracking of a relay in the door, but the locking button does not stir a millimeter. The stupid thing is, I have activated the mechanical child lock mechanism. however, you can only reach it when the door is open again. If I try to open the door from the inside, then the pin goes up, but disappears when releasing again in the sinking. If I hold the button as soon as it is up and then try to open it with the external handle, it doesn’t work either. I found a link here in the forum how to extend the panels. I have done this with success today, too, without breaking anything. Unfortunately, the locking module hides behind the inner cover. this is attached with 8 screws. But I don’t know if you can also use the window lifter for the inside panel. In any case, I have to solve 3 more screws which fix the locking mechanism. But on this side, you can only get the door lock is open.

Where are there good prices / discounts for new cars in Switzerland?
Hello everyone! So, for a long time I have only read and collected information here in the forum, but now it is time to put something in. I would like to treat myself to a new Volvo V50 T5 and finally send my (catastrophic) Audi into the desert. Now I am looking for a garage that gives a good price / discount on new cars, import would be ok as long as all services (e.g. SwissPremium) as in Switzerland are provided. Where did you buy your little one and what did you get for discounts (only private person, no fleet discount, etc.)? Does any of you know the Globalcartrading in Wollerau, what have you done for experiences with them? Greeting to all of a future elk driver 😉

C70 Heico, single-sided tyres
Hello and greetings from the BMW Forum I hope one can help here, it’s about a C70 D5 that was tuned by HEICO. Besides engine tuning and exhaust system the chassis was also changed, as well as Heico 19″ rims with 235 tires installed. On the rear axle there are also track widenings. It is about that all four tires drive off more strongly on the inside and after approx. 18,000km a new set is necessary. It was very often repaired/checked by Volvo and after initial replacement of track rods on the rear axle all measured values were found to be ok (up to the exchange had already two tire places at the HA occurred). Also a free workshop has now checked the track/sturz and confirmed that all values are in the specified areas. So far only the Pirelli P Zero tires with which the Heico rims are sold have been used. maybe there is also Heico – drivers who have experience here. PS: today (again) new tires were installed, but this time Hankook V12 evo

My V50 2.4i is now also a gas-elk !!!
Hello together. From today my V50 runs on LPG. I picked it up today and noticed zero that it runs on gas. The same engine / exhaust noise….absolutely quiet running behaviour. To the installed system: – BRC P&D 5-cylinder. (without FL) – 50l wheel dump tank 650 x 200 (no increase of cargo space necessary) – tank connection under original tank flap – incl. Dish- / Germany adapter With installation, exhaust gas reports, TÜV reports and all papers incl. service booklet…………..for my opinion a really good course and indeed 1850€ !!! I uploaded some pictures with you. Can really recommend the conversion operation (Room LEV)….brought there yesterday and picked up today completely at noon. Be informed about my gas-elch as he does !!! Nice greeting from the Bergische Land

Volvo V50 Built 2008, how do you recognize the high performance sound system?
Hello, I bought a used V50 last week. The dealer advertised the car with the “High Performance Sound System”. However, I am very disappointed with the sound quality, so I think that the high performance sound system is not installed at all, but only the normal performance sound system.How can I see which sound system is installed?

Restless idle, engine trembles
I have a V50, model 2010, 2.0 Flexfuel, with 68,500 km of mileage. My elk has been having a restless idle for several months now, which expresses itself as follows: Speed remains stable and immediately but as soon as the engine is warm, after about 10 km of drive, then the engine trembles in the stand, after longer highway rides it has quasi chills, which is not only scary, but more than annoying. The start behavior in cold and heat is completely ok, as well as the gas acceptance, the passage and the max. speed likewise. There are no problems. Here the list of works, which have already been carried out in 5 workshops, of which 2 x the friendly, 1 x Bosch and two free, but which have immediately waved off. Error memory repeatedly read out and deleted, no faulty entries present test on allg. Andichten, all o.K. Zündkerzen have been changed by now 2 x. Zündspulen have also been cleaned by Drosselklappe valve play has been checked => i.O. Compression has also been updated.
