Hello, I just Googled a bit and looked in the fuel monitor, but without clear knowledge. Drive the V50 1.6l petrol now since 3000 km and have found that the only way to stay under 7 l is not to drive faster than speed 100. I drive almost only motorway, always swim with, without much gas/brake. At the moment I have vredestein snowtrac winter tires on it. My hope to save at least 0.5 l / 100km: Does your consumption highway with same driving mode with summer tires? Thank you and greeting Elchtest

So now I finally have it, for 6 days I can call it my own, the beautiful C30 (EZ 03/07) Everything tolli, only the folding of the seats does not work at all. I do something wrong: as described here already, pull up the lever to the hitch, fold lean forward, then the seat slips almost like by itself fast forwards, ok so far. but then, how can I get the seat back? where do you touch it? as soon as I take the lever on the lean (do not pull up) only the lean back. the seat stays in front. if I then push it back by hand with the grip under the cushion, he makes funny crashing noises, has something to ruin. I can’t get to push back the seat back, howl. am too careful, where do I touch it best, so that not only the lean back goes? please to detailed, women intelligible explanation 😉 Thanks not to the function of the car:

Hello, since you can argue about taste so wonderfully pointless, I wanted to hear your opinion, which best suits a silver C30. To the selection: all should then be 17 inches. Actually I find the platinum best, but think that the dark, rather matte silver does not fit and the very black painted spokes I do not like. Decent looks really AUDI. And Tacana looks either great or nice. Your opinion?

Moinsen! So, my favorite stations will probably be changed to “DAB” in the next few months and are then NOT available with the normal FM receiver any more. However, since I would like to listen to the stations, I wanted to ask if who of you knows if a radio extension (not Sirius! That doesn’t work in Europe and is satellite radio!) exists to receive digital radio for the Volvo Radios (have the high performance!)? But I’ve already found nothing through the crazy accessories programs. “Bloodly” Volvo only offers DAB radio in the S80 II/V70 III… Ideas? Greetings Damien

Dear Volvo community… …I wanted to introduce myself briefly as your newest member and hope that the puppy protection is still valid for me with the following questions. I just made the purchase of a new Volvo c30. Kinesis Packet, Edition R-Design, 1.8L gasoline in Polarweiss. I paid for this car “only” 15,000€…there could no other manufacturer keep up ;o) Unfortunately I still have to wait about 6 weeks, but still I would like to know: 1. What do you have to pay attention to with a (new) C30? I think about driving times, precautionally expand and contain radio, which oil etc. …Tips and tricks stop 2. Where do I get cheap fog lights and shorter springs for the dampers? … as you notice I am a small sparfuchs 3. keyword Chiptuning: Who does the best work and how vile is in the engine in terms of performance increase? 4. What should I change/buy from the beginning of this car? Hach…I can hardly expect….

Here’s a little interim report for the Heico C30. After a lot of screwing up earlier, the C30 is on the 70th place in total. Apparently it’s quite round so far, because an insanely fast car in the same class, the Raeder Audi TT RS (fastest lap about 1 minute faster!!), is at 68th place and would have even been overtaken by another unscheduled stop of the Audi. I will continue to report.

Tach together, these days the watch at my V50 (Bj.06) changed to 120T km and drove me (whether the maintenance costs) immediately the sweat beads on the forehead. I knew from the Volvo dealer that at 120T the DPF sometimes curses is changed – cost point: 1,300 T€uronen! To check out some alternatives I let myself be a KVA at the screwdriver of my trust (not Volvo!!!). What was quite surprising: He expands the DPF, disassembles and cleans it up and then builds it up again. That would be quite enough, the part to replace completely is money making – material fatigue not to be expected. The additive is self-replenished. (at Peugeot – and the engine is known therefore – this is often not done differently – and the part is then declared as new, but this is another topic). To sum up: 120T – maintenance is cleaned up with DPF, oil change and what else is made: 450 € (oil I bring with oil) the binovo.

Hello municipality, I drive a Volvo C30 2.0D Powershift BJ 5/2010 in Momentum equipment and High Performace Radio. So far the iPod function of my iPhones worked without any problems via the normal iPhone USB cable. Yesterday I now have a new firmware installed, from 4.1 to 4.21 on the iPhone and since then the music no longer works…. The iPhone reports that the device is not supported and appears in the display of the radio, “Unreadable” when I select USB as input source. Did you also have this experience?? Can I reset the iPhone firmware to 4.1 or is there an update for the High Performance System? I must anyway within the next 14 days for 20000 inspection. If there is an update of Volvo, this can be directly recorded. Thanks for any tips in advance. Grumpy

Hello all, my V 50 2.0 D, Built 3 /2006 has a small repair at 95,500 km behind it. One staune:- alternator totally broken, bearings firmly, has almost torched the engine, – right shock absorber totally broken, everything full of oil, of course both replaced, – all belts and tensioners of the alternator replaced, – additional inspection complete. Now the price: 1800€, hat off, even Premium Cars. The Fz is driven quite normally as family car. As candy: In 20,000km all 4 disks are due and, almost I would have forgotten. the particle filter for 700 €. Is just Premium. Now I am served. Greetings Volvo41

Hello! Does anyone have experience with the two white variants? Is the surcharge on Cosmic White worth? Is this less sensitive to dirt like polar white? Or just take the polar white and put the saved money into the cleaning? Would I be happy if someone could post their experiences. Thank you!
