Hello to each other, I just bought the Volvo, V50 with the 136PS 2.0D Bj. 2004 with 158,000km. Test drive and transfer drive to my home was running like smeared, even under load there were no problems. Now the car was standing in front of my house for about a week, because I only got an appointment at the registration office this Friday. When I showed it a few times to my friends, the engine also did not cause any problems. He only indicated for a few days that the battery is almost empty, so I had let it hang on to the charger since then. Today the DVDs arrived for the Navi. I wanted to try them again, because he still showed me that the battery is almost empty and that I did not let me into the Navi because of the power pair mode, so I thought I just started the car and make it fast with the running engine. So now I’ve let it start again again, because it’s still normal and after about 5 seconds just went off. I tried to let it start again, but it really started again.

Hello, in the last 4 years 5 Volvos bought, last year a C30 1.8 F and a V70 2.4D. I have now changed the winter tires at our C30 itself and after 11 months and approx. 8,000 km of driving performance a shock, in terms of the quality of the vehicle. If you make the trouble and the wheels unscrew, you can see on chassis parts, drive shafts screws, shock absorbers etc. massive rust! I am not talking about flight rust, but real base metal corrosion. To my astonishment I then on the same day still on my 4 month old V70 with almost 25,000 km on the Tacho look and ergo also here, the same picture. This year I took pictures and attached here, at the same time also got in contact with my dealer. I mean the two soap boxes cost together more than 80 mille and then one gets this miese Ford quality still under jubiled. This year is actually a change of our V 50, but I believe here no more Swede to the house. Have you know how to write about the same problems in the V70 STlam!

When I was growing today, I noticed the rather narrow track at the back of the C30. I knew that it was quite narrow, but I knew that the wheels were actually going so far – I didn’t think so. Now there’s the possibility to do something -> Distance discs/track plates Does anyone already have long-term experience with such things? I mean now not with other cars, but only with cars from Volvo in the range of the P1x models (S40 II, V50, C70 II and C30)? They say that the discs have a higher load of the wheel bearings. Is that true? How far should one be a widening of the track? The tyres and rims should not just stand out, closing flush is also not important. They should just look more suitable and coherently… In the appendix an image as it looks at the moment… Yes, the tyres are also slightly slanted.

Hello dear ones, I hope you can help me with my “problem”. I bought a Volvo C30 2.0D in June. At that time he had a km stand of approx. 26.600km. The maintenance was done 10/2008 with 25.997km. Now he shows me today at 28.823km that I should book a maintenance appointment. My question now would be whether it is normal that the appointment is one month before the actual 1-year maintenance rhythm is reached and whether this is normal, since I have only driven so little with it, say only about 3000km. Thanks in advance for your help.

Since new photos have emerged from a C70 Facelift, my question is whether there will be a facelift for the C30/S40/V50 series for the 2010 model year. Do you have any info and pictures regarding this topic? And which engines will it have? Would be really cool if you have photos or more detailed information. MfG, Altea2004

Hello, we bought a S40 2.0D year of construction 03/05 with 16tsd km 2 weeks ago. Now I am shocked about the high fuel consumption. After about 400 km on the highway the tank indicator has already fallen below half. That can not be normal, right? We are “cozy” drivers and too fast driving is not to be thought, because the whole highway track is limited with “100”. We had a V40 Diesel BJ01 with 115hp before. There were easy 900km in there. Can someone tell me n what we’re doing wrong?

Hello dear Volvo community!, I think the cars of Volvo are beautiful, but I know a lot of people who have a lot of technical problems with their S40/V50, many of them are about to sell the car. Is it that way with you, or not, because I can’t be trusted that such expensive cars have such a shit to offer:? lG Matthias

Hello! Does someone (i.e.: does someone have access to Volvo’s spare parts price lists) know what it would cost to assemble and retrofit the premium sound system from spare parts? I only know the high performance sound system, I liked it, but I didn’t like it, there would still be air up there. As written elsewhere, there is a very very cheap special model in Holland via EU import, which has only limited options. Or just the amps and the tax revenues. it? Thank you Alexander

Help…. I made the ultimate mistake and cut in the indicated grip hole (so that you can pull the roller back – wrong thought). New price of the complete box is according to friendly at 300 euros. Was already with the saddler, but he has waved, because he can not expand the roller and probably does not hold a partial welding. Who has a advice ready?

Hi, I’m a bit perplexed. I would like to treat myself to a V50, but I don’t know if the 1.8 petrol or 2.0 diesel. (from the price would be the diesel ceiling). In this context also my next question whether someone has experience with EU import cars (sometimes significantly better equipped) regarding good addresses, problems with German workshops, warranty claims etc. as a small thank you for reading, tips or possible help the following joke: What do you do if the mute-in-law he’s going for you???? Shoot again!!!
