  • V50 Preheating / Used car warranty

    Hello together, have me here registered in the hope that someone can help me here further. I bought me before 4 months ago. A V50 2.0D. The car is BJ. 2004 and has now 133000km on it ( when buying he had 122000km) unfortunately had to find out that the heater does not work. Is probably the control unit or the fan. When the vehicle was handed over the heating was also not at, because it was about 20degrees warm thought it is simply too warm that it does not concern. Since I bought the car from a VW dealer ( about 200km away from me) and have the PerfectCar guarantee, I thought that the thing is probably a case for the guarantee. It is not only a stand heating but a heater which was unlocked as a stand heating. According to the dealer however, there is not taken over because he has sold me the vehicle explicitly with stand heating. Also the “nice” lady from the VW insurance says there is not only a stand heating but a heater which was unlocked as a stand heating. But because not so much because he has taken over to me because of the warranty can help me from the nice thanks already.

  • Is black Volvo paint more sensitive than other brands? Or is it imaginable?

    Hello, I have a black C70. Either I have become too pimply by now, but somehow my bonnet/front bumper now seems to me after approx. 48T-Km a little demolished. A lot of small stone impact damage. Why I ask this so much? I had a black S3 as a previous car. And so I was “done” and I didn’t notice stone impact damage in the number. But now with the C70 I am the one who is overtaken and like an opa driving – close up I avoid – alone for the reason, because you just drive more relaxed. You also get older! So I can’t explain! What experiences did you have? Especially with the black/dark lacquer at Volvo? Thanks already!

  • Track broadening C70 II

    Hello together, I am driving the Mirzam 18 inch rims on my C70 at the moment. I would like to do a track widening on the HInteraxe now. I spoke with a tuner and if I only widen 20 or 30 mm, then the existing standing bolts have to be replaced, which costs again unnecessary workshop-hours. Now a tuner recommended the 40mm widening. with this the Volvo bolts are fixed within the widening with retractable nuts and out of the widening new standing bolts are available for the wheel assembly. My question to you… Can anyone tell me if the 40mm still fit into the rear wheel box? I (and the TÜV) have no interest that the wheels will be grinding or additional work required. I have Mirzam mounted with 235 maturation. many thanks for your help. frank P.S. Can someone tell me what the load in Germany at TÜV cost about ?

  • Used V50 against new Hyundai

    Hello and good day First of all, I would like to come out as a Volvofan, but my question is quite serious and I ask for your honest opinions! Well, I am proud owner of a beautiful v50, now 5years old and almälich start the repairs, last year’s ignition lock,Lima,disk wiper motor,air conditioning system.And since I’m not so well placed anymore financially (divorce) I have thought of mocking the good piece and with some allowance to buy a new Hyundai I30combi,5 years guarantee appeals to me.So with the use of 4000 euros we say a nimble new car to drive. Thank you for your thoughts!

  • Oil pan defective – only renewed 10 days ago!!!

    Hello. First of all, all of you happy Christmas. With us it is, however, first with the joy. My friend just found out that under her V50 there is a huge oil pool. Oil lamp has also lit, the container is apparently completely empty. Have now called the Volvo Assistance, since we bought the V50 only in June, thus still guarantee… According to information of which also no problem, at least verbally they have promised the cost assumption. But now the hammer. Now exactly 10 days ago the car was in the workshop – 150TKM inspection. There it was established that a crack is in the oil tank, should pay – 950€ incl. everything. After consultation with the friendly, where we have the car we got around the costs around it, because only half a year ago we bought – very kulant, after my opinion. But how can it be thanks that now, after a few days exactly this oil tank is defective? Too bad? The latter can be excluded, at least not the same thing? And we have not noticed the warranty? In fact, the question is over again again for me.

  • Radio into the ventilation shaft

    Tomorrow For a long time now, I have been interested in the topic of “Installing a car radio from Alpine”, it is not easy because the factory radio remains in the old place. I find it difficult to do so. Maybe you could try to expand the central console/ventilation grille (or warning indicator) and instead install the 1 Din Radio/DVD player. But how do I build up the two ventilation grilles? I don’t want to start scratching in the new car.

  • V50 only blink once?

    Hi it is possible to change the flash interval by another relay. from the standard 3 times blinking to one time blinking? depends only on the relay or is that integrated into the vehicle software?!

  • Volvo C70 Type N ??

    Hello Together, two questions… what did the new Volvo C70 (from year 2006) mean for a designation to distinguish it from its predecessor. In the INternet and EBAY you often find the name in the report for the type “N”… is this the “old” C70. I’m looking for rims for the winter tyres. knows but only 5 holes hole circle 108mm The rest should not be so wild, or ? Tyre size 215 and important the load index of at least 90 because of the vehicle weight… What can you tell me about it? I wanted to take the 16 inch variant rather because cheaper. But if there is a set 17 in favor of EBAY or tyre dealers, I don’t say no either. So which expert can help me if I have to pay attention to press depth and co….? and which model our new C70 actually represents. Many greetings FRANK
