Hello together, I’d like to know if someone in the interior of his car has installed any accessories – possibly as a suggestion for myself. Who, for example, has installed a battery monitor? A thermometer, a small photo frame suitable for the interior or similar? Who has replaced parts of the original interior with other parts, for example the ventilation grids with any Chrome look stuff? Or a mobile nav fixed installed? Images would also be great. 🙂 Greetings from Munich Thomas

Ecochiptuning is supposed to reduce consumption a little bit and maybe increase performance a little. Did someone try it out here? If someone has experience with it, it would be nice to post here. I am particularly interested in the experiences of 1.8, 2.0, 2.4(i) and T5. MfG ShadMomentum

Hello guys, will be in about a month proud owner of a 2009 Volvo C30 T5 R-Design, with 18″ Atreus (215/45) Pirelli summer tyres. Since we now have winter tyres compulsory in Austria from 01.11 to 15.04 (pronounce half a year!), I thought to myself to the original 18″ Atreus, winter tyres with the same dimensions. Now I was yesterday at a tyre dealer and he absolutely wanted to sell me 17″ aluminiums with the corresponding tires, because 18″ with a width of 215 are The winter tires must be always thinner than the summer tires… erm, that means wider summer tires for me and the thing is eaten?! No seriously, I would be interested in what you say about them. Since I live in Vienna the “hazard” of a snow runway is quite low, however, some snowboard trips are planned into the Alps and then the winter tire should already have enough grip… aja, here the tires to choose from: Bridgestone: Blizzak LM-22 XL 215/45 R18 93V Yokohama: W.Drive 215/45 R18 89V Pirelli: W240 Sottozero XL 215/45 R18 93V mfg mario

Hello, I’m also going to be a Volvo fan now. However, I’d like to know how much “Sweden” is still in the V50. The diesels are probably from a community development with Peugeot; the platform is driving with the Mazda3 and Ford Focus 2. With Peugeot engine technology I wouldn’t have a problem now. But how much “Ford” is in the V50 ? best thanks, Markus

Hello Motor-talker, I would like to get a new car in the near future. It should be a station wagon for two people; in other words, it should not be huge. Well and so I came across the Volvo V50. My impressions during the test drive were very positive, because the V50 is going great. However, the check-up of my workshop clouded the picture. Rusty parts, which suggests sloppily precaution during production. Oil loss in the front engine area. Oil-lubricated sockets v For a 2.5-year-old car with 80,000km I found it a bit terrifying. …you should have seen the face of the Volvo dealer once when I came back from the test drive and reported to him! From these impressions I was insecure then all the forums and now I am completely unsure about the V50 2.0D. Because it seems that if you get this Volvo V50, you will get problems. rd. …you believe the forums! Be it with the engine management or with the rest of the periphery. However, it is clear to me that most people in the car forums are looking for help; i.e. want to discuss problems on their vehicles and thus negatively influence these forums.
