But now I would like to ask you a question about the Vkmer, the Vkmer, the V50 2.0D, the first registration 06/07 with now 57,000km. I was always satisfied. Anyway, about 2 months ago (i.e. still within the warranty period) the display started to show me “motor system, maintenance required”. So I came to my Volvo dealer. The guys thought that it was only the particle filter that had to be “free” to regenerate. Was for me no problem because I drive a lot of highway anyway. So from then on with 140km/h. Anyway, the report came back then, and we were just on vacation on the coast. I went there for safety reasons again to a Volvo dealer who told me that the “pressure control unit” was broken and had to be replaced. At this point I would like to mention that I didn’t know exactly what the boy said. The thing has cost me 166€. But now was much more expensive my 40,000 inspection too. How do you see the case? And I don’t have to tell you that I’ve got a message about it.

RTI Navi Software / Voices / Language…
Was there a new V70 for trial driving (hardly excited) and I noticed that the voices (woman/man) in the Navi were different or sounded “cleaner” or “expressed” more understandablely than it is known from my V50 RTI. Didn’t update my software/DVD so far because I don’t have the Navi soo often in operation. However, I’ve always been disturbed by the cumbersome, “puzzled” way of expression. Completely hacked off and also often wrong in the sentence making (“please keep them on…” etc.) because the way is taught… Sometimes the voice also gets “dumpier” in the middle of the sentence and it sounds like suddenly someone else is speaking. In addition, the female voice is completely useless because it sounds like it has been recorded under drug influence… Well – these things may already be known to some here…. That was not all so in the V70, and therefore my question whether these errors in the V50 are also “excessive” with new navigation software, or if only the card material is updated here? Did anyone have noticed a serious difference in language?

Warranty for used cars
Hello! my S40 recently received the Navi. This was shown by the monitor no longer driving up. After I was at mine it turned out that one of the components is opposed (TMC, GPS antenna, control unit). So exactly it could not narrow down my workshop. It would now be about 3-4 working hours only to find the error. That alone would cost 200.-. But there is nothing repaired then. After I only have my car for 6 months, I immediately got in touch with the car house where I bought the car. They are now the opinion that on the Navi is not a guarantee and therefore I have to pay the defect itself. Can someone confirm that on multimedia components the used car warranty does not apply to me? Thank you!

Consumption of the C30 1.8 not so bad
Since recently I have been discussing how bad the 1.8 engine is, I would like to write a positive contribution to this engine! I’ve been driving my C30 1.8 for 4 months and a good 4000 km. So you can’t talk about the fact that the car has already really started. At the moment the consumption is steadily decreasing. If the good piece at the beginning was still more than 10 litres, I come now with normal driving on 8.6 liters with automatic climate control and winter tyres and light. Even with permanent motorway rides with speeds between 140 and 190 I didn’t get over a consumption of well 9 liters. (the consumption is always calculated) Wouldn’t have really thought that the motor developed so positively! Also the indicated final speed of 200 km/h exceeds the car quite easily. After I switched to the summer tires I wanted to know how much maximum in it is. On a slightly cut-off motorway piece the needle of the tachos was still written down a little bit less than 220km/h! Since the tacho in the C30 I was already a little surprised!

my new V50 =)
Hello together, because I was always happy when jmd. introduced his new elk, I do it now. Because last week Tuesday I was able to pick up my new company car: Volvo V50 2.0D Momentum, titangrey met., 17′ Zaurak rims (grey lacquered!), business package (Navi, Bluetooth phone, …) High Performance, Dalatech anthracite Had a V50 of the first series before and was really happy. This one is already MY 2009 and after the first 1,300km I am enthusiastic. I took a few pictures and set them here. I especially like the combination of the color with the rims. Was there before quite uncertain, because painted rims are actually not so my case… What do you mean? Greeting, kranzi

Finding a solution for the eternal topic: Top speed
I am now unfortunately the owner of a brand new V50 2.0D MY2009, which under no circumstances managed to reach only 200km/h. I gave a really good V50 2.0D MY 2004, which always reached 220km/h on the straight line, downhill even (according to Tach just over 230) And I am very angry about it, because this topic is already a problem for soooooo for a long time and Volvo apparently NOTS about the quality fluctuations at PSA even tried to change. Before I commissioned my friend with the problem, I wanted to know here in advance whether there are now effective solutions for the problem (software update, new valves, air mass meters etc.). With the model 2009 I had not expected to do so, but it is a pity for one’s heart if the Bock from 190 simply did not accelerate further. Should the deviation continue to be so significant (more than 5 percent probably according to previous jurisprudence) the car will probably go back to the dealer soon, however it does for that then. I have so far made many good experiences with the V50, but I am very grateful for the help again.

Wipe without ignition key!?
Moinsen! I just noticed something strange… Bzw.. Had I once, I just thought wrong. The following: My ignition key is in my pocket. Vehicle is open. Just the front window was still full of raindrops. “Miracle” and suddenly the disc is free again. Meaning: it was wiped! Now the question is: normal is not that, right? I drove the car last time with a rain sensor turned on – was like that also last time. However, if you pull off the key it should be off after all, right!? It definitely wiped. I did not have a second key here, so no one can plug it. Key is also not in the car. Wipe levers don’t go either. Is that someone else already happening? Say: Wipe in front move without doing anything…!?

Experience with V50 former car rental and petrol or diesel?
Hello, I’m just thinking about getting a V50. Have seen several offers at Motormeile.de now. The cars are from Spain and were used there as a rental car. Has someone had experiences with previous rental cars? I am very doubting about that. And another question: diesel or gasoline? The 2.0D is actually great. I already tried it. But in the fuel price development I ask myself whether a petrol engine would be the better alternative. I drive about 25,000 km per year. Which gasoline engine can keep up with the 2.0D? Thanks and greeting

V50 R-Design D2 — Purchases at Heico? Ask for help & opinions!
Hello all! My D2 at the rear will be a little too nice to be honest. I would have liked to see chic exhaust blinds that are also on view. No excessive tuning equipment but something fancy that Volvo would sell if necessary. I don’t think it makes sense to have an exhaust system of the T5 or similar sub-assembling. Heico offers an AbG system for the D2. However, they could not provide me with a sound example, which is why I am afraid of the investment. My elk also has a fixed trailer coupling (which is needed several times a week) which has already required an incision in the R apron. So what are your opinions on the following points: – optically ok with fixed AHK – performance improvement – sound change in the small diesel The system is specifically offered for the D2, D3 & co. I would be very pleased about your answers Exhaust system from Heico http://www.heicosportiv.de/mainframe.asp?lang=en1=204 LG Jens PS: Have a R-Design forgivers, X-Schurze front-neck, front-neck-neck-neck-neck-neck-shapeg.
