Hello together, I have found that here often the question arises which costs for this or that repair occur. What do you think of opening here a collection thread, in which one specifies his car model and the type of repair, and then the corresponding costs. Perhaps also with indication of whether it was a contract or free workshop, or whether one has supplied any parts with it. So a kind of “database” for repairs on the V50, C30, S40II, and C70 … What do you think about it ? e.g. the brake blocks were recently renewed at the front.Model V50 1.6 petrol year 2005 – Volvo contract workshop – both brake blocks front – Cost of time and material: 150 EUR gross Greeting E.

Hello together, short question: I’m thinking about buying a used V50 with EZ 2009. Of course there are also offers of “younger” cars, so I wonder if there have been important changes to the V50 since 2009 that could influence the decision? I mean both equipment and design and engine. At the same time I would be grateful for short reviews. I read again and again that the V50 would consume a lot in practice, compared to similar cars. And that it is quite vulnerable. Since I am not at home in the world of cars, I would be grateful for information. Many greetings k.

Hello together, drive for about three months a Volvo V50 D2 and have the feeling that the first gear is really only usable for starting up and not for accelerating out. Also I have had problems with the clutch from the beginning (running), and after longer city traffic it has come off the engine room so funny. Furthermore, the engine makes funny noises at speeding up in the second and third gear. The workshop told me that it is the normal starting noises, whereby I drive already 6 years Volvo V 50 “,0 D and have not noticed these noises so strongly in any Volvo yet

Hi guys, I’m currently thinking about throwing out my H&R coilover suspension and “only” Heico springs (-30mm) up. Will I upgrade to 19″ Tomason in the spring. Now my question. How do the springs behave in terms of comfort? That it gets tighter is clear to me, but is there any unpleasant abnormalities? Does someone have the Heico springs in it and 19″er on it? Would I be happy about photos! All C70 that I’ve seen with feathers up to now have disappointed me a bit, because they were a bit deeper than in the back, from which photos would be really top! Thank you already in advance!

Hello, my V50 was now twice because of defective injection nozzles in the workshop. I noticed the defect, that the car when the engine was running and warm was always extremely cooled for oil. The engine compartment was also filled with oil. Now my question, how many injection nozzles did it have? Are there four? And is the problem known at the 1.6d. If a nozzle is defective, is only changed or the whole set? Were every time strong invoices, in total around 1000€. Although I did not have to pay, the used car guarantee has taken over. Who knows what? Mfg ronnyv50

Hello, I have the next problem with my C70 T5. During the ride, the warning light for “gas cleaning system” flashed several times and then went out again. One day after that, the lance went on permanently and at the same time I hear a squeaking / grinding noise when I’m driving slowly along house walls or guardrail. The noise stops as soon as I give gas. I was able to locate the noise in the standing car. It comes to the right of the engine from the deep. It sounds like grinding or tyres. When the engine is switched off, the noise runs out slowly. So it has to be a rotating part, which makes this noise and brings the warning lamp to light up at the same time. However, I haven’t noticed any performance problems yet. I have thought of the turbocharger under consideration. A blower or other part of it wasn’t immediately the exhaust lamp to light up. Do you have any idea what it might be? I’ll definitely make an appointment with the friendly and wait for the Volvo Pro Garantihilfe…

Hello people I’m currently thinking about getting a C70 II. The D5 has a Sate 50 Nm more as a switch, so it would have to run twice as well as an automatic one. But now it’s like a brand new one for a week (I was the first to drive it) S80 D5 with a manual switch. And now I’m driving a V70 II EZ 12.12.2005 (delivered 09.12.05) MY 06 with also 185 hp diesel engine, but this time with the 6-speed GearTronic. Subjectively this is going much faster from 0 to 100 as the more recent S80 II with HS – despite automatic one. Can someone please report to me here his experiences with the C70 II, which has driven the D5 both as a hand switch and as an automatic one? Thank you already in advance! Gruss Howard P.S.: And no, I don’t know the board search!

Hello, for 1 month I have been driving my new V 50, with the 125 HP Flexifuel machine. Now I have the following questions: Is it normal that the engine is already running at speed 160 with almost 5000 revolutions? Unlike my old V 40 with 116 hp, the V 50 extem is more revolving, I am surprised. At 160 he had only about 4000 revolutions. He has now nearly 2200 kilometers down, purrs like a cat, but besides the increased speed is also the consumption still very immense. I am in the city almost 12 liters and also on the BAB he is still at 11 liters, if one steps it in the meantime. By the way, if I have filled E 85. I have heard that the consumption should decrease from 5000-6000 Klometer running power. Has any of you made similar experiences? Or do we have other opinions or suggestions? By the way, we have allowed to change oil properly after almost 1700 kilometers. Otherwise we are highly satisfied, since we have the momentum execution plus the Select Package.

Hello together. I have the following problem with my V50, Bj 2005, 1.8. At Volvo, they found that the control unit is probably broken, which is located in the steering wheel.This is responsible for all functions that are on the steering wheel. My question is whether I could also install a used control unit? If so, does it still have to be coded? Are there professionals here who can answer this question?Or sufferers who already had the same problem. At Volvo, they want to have the 600 Euro for it. The exchange is no problem for me. Please let me know who can say something about it.

My V50 2.0 D has already squirted 2 times like stupid. The first time I had driven a road track of about 60 km behind me. After that it started to smoke in the engine room. I thought that the car torched me. I called Volvo and they sent someone from the ADAC. He noticed that nothing was missing, but that the diesel additional heating just sometimes smokes when it had around 4 degrees +. His ADAC service car would have. Today I have brought a 40 km highway ride and then 10 km of road behind me. After that the same again. Today’s temperature again 4 degrees. So I don’t think it’s normal. Do you have similar experiences?
