Hello, with my V50 1.6D MJ 2008 the BC constantly shows a much too high average consumption. I fill up full and then calculate the actual consumption. After fully refueling I always reset the BC completely. The deviation is the greater, the more I drive in the city. Sometimes I drive a whole tank filling away in the city, then the BC shows values between 8-10 l/100km. When calculating then I arrive at 6-7 l/100km (average consumption). The BC shows then already an average consumption of 2.5l at times! Only if I drive only highway and country road (holidays + departures), the indicated average consumption reaches the actual value. Then the BC shows still about 0.5 to 1l too much, but nevertheless. Unfortunately on the 26tkm driven so far an average deviation of 1.2l/100km has set itself. At the first inspection the friendly one has made an update, without effect! The tyre measurements were also checked. With my old V40 1.9D MJ 2001 the BC values were very accurate, but not so much to the average deviations?

Hello together, the driving style seems to be a big factor in all the upgrades; I often read between the lines that many drivers risk high speeds with LPG/LPI, damage their systems sustainably and end up crying out in the forums. Maybe I’m conservative there, but over 140kmh I wouldn’t drive with an upgrade anyway longer than 2-3min. (and then also not over 160-180kmh) Is everything a matter of discipline at the end? How is your assessment, experience etc…? Best regards, H.

Hello, I’ve been looking for a convertible for quite some time, I’ve already dealt with MB SL 320, CLK 320, BMW 330ci Cabrio but unfortunately there was nothing good at a reasonable price so far. Today I noticed a C70 during a long car ride, because I shot in the head “there could look around”. Quickly done and joa I have to say, it doesn’t look so bad at all. My parents were already with Volvo 2 years ago, but it has become a CLK then. If then it would become a C70 BJ 2006-2007 with the 220hp T5 engine. – Is the engine comparable with a 320 V6 engine? (quietly running) Automatic is a MUST with me, but has it with him. – Is there a trailer coupling, or how much can it pull? – How does it look like with the consumption? (24.000 km/year 80% car lane, 15% country road, 5% city mostly 110-120 km/h) (driving a 2.0 Ford diesel and coming under the factory specifications) but I don’t like the engine?

Hello guys, maybe someone can help me.I would like to add a new radio with MP3 function to my Volvo V50 Bj 12/04.Have already developed the radio and changer to see what’s going on.But what it looks like you have to buy some adapter plugs.I would then try to install the radio where the changer was sitting.Can someone give me some tips?Or is that not possible?

Hello I play with the thought of my wife to buy a C30. What experiences there is to the 2.0 petrol with 145 hp. driving performance, consumption everyday fitness etc. I am grateful for every experience report.

Moin, what do your elks look like in winter? Aluminium or steel in the cold season? What is your opinion? Many pictures are welcome. If there is a similar threat just move. So I start with: Steel rims: 205/55R16 91H Goodyear UltraGrip 7+ and wheel caps Steel rims are enough for me in winter, if you slip against somewhere with the beautiful aluminiums it is very annoying.

Moin people, I wanted to know what your T5s consume of oil or whether they consume something at all. Mine consumes some oil, normal or?! I guess 0.8l on 5000km. By the way, I don’t think that’s normal, because my old 6s didn’t consume 1l on 1000km and only because the engine is newer it doesn’t have to be called that he can consume garnoin oil. Improves me if you have more detailed information about it. It doesn’t smoke or something like that. Next thing would be; How much do your T5s run in the final speed to Tacho? Mine pulls to 220km/h but afterwards it only goes to a drag up to 240-245km/h. How is that with you? I would like to drive another V50 T5 to compare times. You’re probably wondering why I want to know that but that’s just curious. I haven’t found any opponent who has as much power as mine. For example, something like a Focus ST or something like that, because these whole 2.0T from VW have less power and therefore don’t have anything to hear about.

Hello today wanted to mount the winter tires (on steel rims of the old V50) on the new V50 (BJ 2011, summer tires on aluminium rims). Because of the strange wheel nuts at the new V50 (conical course to the thread) I then let it be; was afraid that the steel rims did not fix properly. Do I have to buy a set of new wheel nuts for the steel rims now? Greeting fiete

Hello Volvo connoisseur, We need a new family combo and I have been super helped here in the forum as an unacquainted car buyer… I would be happy if someone could give me an assessment of his initial impression of these two Volvos: (price performance? suspect that a car had two previous owners?…) http://suchen.mobile.de/…/searchrefine.html?… I would introduce the car to someone who knows but in advance brings me any hint further! Thank you

Hello together, especially on the last two weekends, watch that the people almost “snake standing” to switch from summer to winter tires and because the days in the Harz and in the Sieger-Sauerland have fallen a few snowflakes, they all drive like the “Lemmings” to the tyre dealers and can not be served quickly enough. I would be interested to know when you changed or to change… (just quote by complete) I start: ********************************* UweV70C70 : Saturday appointment 06.11.2010 Beautiful weekend!
