hello guys! has one of you already been able to deactivate the belt alarms at the V50 and if so how? I’m feeling terrible about the spirit and the car is already buzzing before you even drove a meter! moreover, the with backpack on the passenger seat put also again and again a problem… certainly you could pull off a plug somewhere under the seat, but then he would think you are not strapped and in case of an accident the airbag would trigger differently, although you a I hope to have been understood and look forward to reports, so get in touch! best thanks in advance greetings faustus

Moin dear Volvo community, I am here for the first time today and want to get rid of something immediately. Free according to the motto: You must also be able to treat yourself! I wish all proud C70 owners a great summer and always the right panorama behind the next curve!!! And to all who wait with me: Good to know, it’s for a good cause… I ordered my C70 in December 06. Lt. Volvo (FOR the signing of the contract): Delivery date: August 07. In the order confirmation: after the factory holiday 2007 (non-binding). Most current status (on demand): October 2007. Now I have some questions: – The order confirmation shows the current prices from 2006 (but already with the new VAT). That means that the price increases should not concern me, right???? Everything else would surprise me very much… – The car was configured and ordered in 2006. With which (if any) additional new rounds (without additional charge) can you at Produktio n in September 07? – What experiences have you made with regard to the acceptance of the dealers during the delay in delivery. Also under the aspect that the order confirmation is “non-binding”? Price reductions (hah)? Accessory admissions? I look forward to your answers. Thank you for this! Until the delivery I enjoy my V50 2.0! Tim from the far north greets you!

Hello to all happy ! I re-registered because I am very close to a c 70 d5 order . On a dealer visit I was shocked by a very fuzzy statement about the delivery time . That meant that I have to reckon with up to 12 !!! Monaen . But much more surprised me when he said that the model 2008 will come with some changes e.g. another center console , as well as light optical retouching . I mean that it is nevertheless a new model and Ve changes after such a short time are actually not usual. Has heard of you already similar or I have come to a “steam-plauderer”.

Hello community, I’m thinking about taking the Volvo Pro Package 2 (maintenance + repair). For four years, per month 48E. Do you think this offer is worth it? Thank you for your opinion!

Have you heard somewhere that the C30/S40/V50 is being hit more and more by marten bites? I wanted to do a test drive here on Saturday with a 2.0 C30, bingo… warning light firework. bonnet on and see there: Lamdasondenkabel bitten through, hair residue on the ZK cover incl. footprints of the uninvited guest. The friendly said, yes that would be unfortunately very common, 6 out of 10 engine problems with this platform (in the heres a workshop, urban, non-rural) marten bite (cables and / or hoses) Can anyone confirm this here? Does Volvo incorporate such delicious components that the little one is at the top of the marten’s goumets menu? Wouldn’t it be pretty stupid.

As I have already written, I am looking for a C30. However, the beeped from the belt is really on my nerves! Can you turn this down somehow or completely deactivate it? With other manufacturers it is possible too! Alas, according to my friendly this is not possible. I can’t imagine it. MFG

Hi community, have signed me up extra because I and my mechanic are absolutely helpless. First of all. Volvo V50 Built 11/2006, 2.0D. Now to my problem. If I drive relaxed with my darling (with cruise control and speed doesn’t matter) it starts to jerk at once. It is a minimal jerk like a heart sting in humans. This happens at different times, weather etc. Then we have the problem e.g. at speed 50kmh instead of a consumption of 4 liters. 8 liters is to be read on the on-board computer. Nothing is displayed in the on-board computer, no light. The car was already with the mechanic and he repaired everything possible, this following error was shown. -Instead of 4.5 liters of oil was about 8 liters inside, must probably have been diesel with, oil change was made etc. – air in the fuel line, also fixed since the Volvo sucked it in somewhere. After many euros less I picked it up and it consists imme If anyone can help me, I’m desperate, and I’m getting pretty clumsy at the cash register because of this gas swallower…

Hello, from the engine compartment often comes a whistling/screaming noise for 1-3 seconds when I step through the accelerator. I give gas-> IIEEHHG, let the engine come up to 3400 rpm, turn up, give gas -> IIEEHHG! This noise occurs at about 2200 rpm, if the engine wants to grip properly. It reminds a little after a screeching wedge belt, but is not. With open windows you can hear it quite loud, but even with closed windows you can hear it when you click on it. I have already told the Volvo dealer twice, when I brought the car to the inspection. He thinks it’s normal. “There’s something blowing off”. If that’s normal, then other 2.0D drivers should hear this noise? So my question to the 2.0D driver: Does your engine make such a funny noise at a strong acceleration? “Blow off” should not really happen anyway? The 2.0 has a VTG turbocharger, which has the charging pressure above the wing position. I’ve also driven Wastegate loaders and you didn’t hear any noise from the sound.

Hello dear friends, I have a problem. Who doesn’t! 🙂 Can someone recommend me a tyre brand for Volvo V 50 Kombi. It should run quietly and comfortably. At the moment I drive Goodyear NCT 5 (summer tyres) and have the feeling that the car is not well equipped with it. Track behaviour and restless suspension are just noticeable on the highway. At Goodyear it is recommended for the vehicle. However, seems to give problems.

Hello her “suffering” Well, I’ve had this “drive-wave problem” for a long time. Actually, most users here would have to be familiar with it for quite a long time. When starting or changing loads, you hear a “crack” or a “snarling”. This noise is often very difficult to recreate at the dealer’s office why it is often said “If you can reproduce the noise, you should come back”. I can reproduce the noise (know how I do it) and thought, because With you others who have not been around for so long, know what this noise has to do with it. This is how it sounds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FtWq2fLgLIWhen does it happen? The sound is heard as already said during load changes as well as more often while starting. It arises when there is too much play in the drive shaft gearing. Means: between drive shaft and transmission input shaft is more play in the gearing than in the tolerance ex works. e drive shafts before and back. What solution is there? The solution is simply but not really ideal. Volvo has official documents, which solves this problem. The documents indicate that the problem is known, why the tolerances are not changed is not clear to me, but rather repair. In doing so, the drive shaft is removed and with a special type of adhesive (m.E. it is a resin) which compensates the tolerances. By this measure (which is not very It can hold some 100,000 km, or even only a few 10,000 km. It depends on some points, but as a cost-effective repair (my workshop told me something of about 40€ for both sides – much time would not be needed) so pretty useful So, now you can, if you can not make the noise just take my video My dealer has confirmed the noise and my repair will probably be m July or August (currently I have too little time and then I have to follow the workshop ).
