Moin moin, with 133k km my V50 is probably just in a “difficult” time. After defective wheel bearing the following can be observed now 2k km later: If I drive with the vehicle “longer” (20km up) routes, then a diesel / smoke odour in the interior is very easy to perceive when standing at the traffic light (not during the ride!). I have already googled and is mentioned again and again the seal to the vents under the bonnet. I would exclude this first, since it a) looks good and b) the smell can still be perceived outside the vehicle (if you stand 1m away from the engine). So if the air around the engine stinks anyway, then the best seal can’t save anything anymore. Now only the question is what I can look at? Otherwise it continues to be great: no power loss, quiet engine run, no warning lights etc. Even with short distances no smell is noticeable. Thank you already for your help. Fos forget, so I like to give them after. Ahja: I am absolute layman and therefore ask for forgiveness when I ask “doof” questions.

Moin said yesterday I was surprised by the instrument cluster of our elk with the yellow motor light. The error P0171 (mixture on bench 1 too lean) was stored. During the ride there was no impairment. Had only a strange phenomenon two weeks ago: On the highway at approx. 100km/h in the 5th gear (automatic) times the socks pressed on the pedal: Automatic switches down, speed torments up and there was a loud suction noise to hear (similar to open air filter or r Intake noise after cold start) noticeably less power. But only two times up, without MKL and then the moose ran again normal. After research in the net, the following causes come into consideration: – LMM defective (have I removed and cleaned) – hose crankshaft ventilation to the oil trap (was changed about 2 months ago after defective already) – false air, here the rabbit is in the pepper Have been able to detect a hissing in the running engine in the range of the battery, the hoses with brake clean The hose, which goes from the vacuum pump next to the battery to the suction bridge (see picture). At first glance there was nothing to be seen, since there was still a kind of protective cover over the hose. This was removed and there was already a hole to be seen. I got it temporarily sealed with insulating tape and hope that this was the fault. After research in the net it is probably the parts number: 30736693 vacuum hose and seems to be only available as a complete part. Are there alternatives to the original part (if still available), at Skandix I didn’t find it? Thanks for information.

Moin I hope for your experiences…. My beloved Bolide Volvo C30 D5 with automatic transmission brings me to despair. It vibrates at about 55 and 80kmh and has slight fluctuations in speed, it feels like you are driving over cross grooves or moving a switch too subturgy. It stops as soon as you go off the gas or give more gas. It was with a drift specialist, repeats no fault in the memory. Adaption values of gears and throttles were reduced unfortunately no change. Car was then at the friendly in the workshop and there was another transmission oil flushing it was flushed with oil. Again the adaptation values were reset. Unfortunately also here no improvement of the problem. In 2019 he got already a flushing according to the Tim Eckert method. Today we determined that he did not switch back in manually although one forces it and is almost already standing. The 3rd gear is held simply. Maybe already someone has already Similar experiences and can give me a hint where we have to look. Greetings Rebecca

Hello, I’m new in the Volvo world and proud owner of a V50 T5 hand switch from 12/2005. I’ve had the car for a week and the previous owner told me an occasional rumbling from the front right. Since it’s the cheapest thing, I re-engineered directly in front and rear Lemförder Koppelständen. Meanwhile, however, the polking has become worse, just this morning at -1C° occurred during acceleration, even on top level road especially in the 2nd and 3rd gears ( A workshop has examined the complete chassis and recognizes the pinning during a test drive, but not the cause, all joints are fixed. I have now read more often about defective drive shafts, which one does not look at the defect from the outside, or noticed by shaking. I have therefore ordered the right drive shaft from SKF and change the times. If one of you has another tip, to which I can give as much as possible Achja, the poltern is rhythmically with the wheel speed when accelerating, so I also exclude the motor bearings… In the stand with the steering back and forth everything is fine, so hopefully also not the cathedral bearings, to me remains slowly as idea only the drive shaft Thanks to you

Hello municipality, after a long time I have registered now. What should I say. My additive tank seems to be empty. Now the question of which additive should be in there torments me. Would it do it myself. These 2 stands to choose from:EOLYS 176 Additive Gen 2 or EOLYS PowerFlex Gen 3. Unfortunately I found nothing in the manual and when reading along I always came across EOLYS 176. My C30 with the first registration date 29.03.2010 probably exactly in the generation change of the additive ger The key number………. 9101/AFS……… Running 85,400 I took over the car from a city driver. I only drive long-distance highway. Maybe someone can help me here. Thanks a lot and you have a nice holiday.

Moin, I unfortunately have a serious problem with my V50 2.4 BJ 2005. The CCM air conditioning unit has completely discontinued the service. So there is no ventilation anymore, no air conditioning, no radio, no seat heating. At first the part fell out in between times and then went out again. Since my battery was quite old, I changed it directly. After that, unfortunately, nothing went on at all, since then the part is completely dead. I still had a CCM of a newer year of construction lying here. Now I wonder if it is not due to the CCM or another defect. Is it normal that an unregistered part does not show a function at all because it has to be registered in the system first? Does anyone have experience? I have already checked and cleaned the fuses and the CEM. My consideration was to send the CCM to the company Rickim Elektronik in Düren to have it checked and repaired if necessary. he company experiences? I am happy about every tip! Bastian

Dear I am a newly baked owner of a C70 Bj 2007 and as soon as he stands with me I would like to install a double-DIN. I need a navigator and one cling to the disk I find not so chic… But if you read the entries on the topic 2din, there is usually “not feasible”, “to guess”, “almost not possible”, but never, why… Is this really such a huge thing and if yes, why? I have a block with buttons in the center console below the radio, it stö But I don’t know if they’re going to work. Is that the reason? I know that it needs an adapter, but that can hardly be… Or is the cut-out for the device too small..? I’m going to attach a photo of the (still dusty) center console. Thank you..

Hello all, our V50 DriveE purrs like a kitten and we are happy with the car. The only flaw: The Start Stop automatic grips almost never. When I pull the plug on the battery and plug it back in (which is similar to a reset) it works a few days. But then no more – even after long highway rides not. Battery and alternator were replaced, charging function positively checked by the friendly Volvo contractor. is normal. My impression: The start stop does not get the signal when there is enough charge. I don’t think that’s so bad, but I’m interested in how your experience is. Thank you Andreas

Hello Together, with my V50 1.8l petrol engine, 5-speed manual transmission (see below for more details on the car) I notice the following peculiarity every morning. Mainly in the warm running phase (engine no longer cold, but also not yet warm) the idle speed varies with me, if I drive with a stepped clutch for example to a traffic light and brake. The speed then varies between 800 and 400 rpm. However, as soon as I have come to a standstill, the e Speed immediately at 800 rpm. I can also reproduce this effect by rolling down a sloped track with a stepped clutch or idle. Then the idle speed also varies between 800 and 400 rpm. If the engine is warm, the fluctuation is between 800 and 600 rpm. And as I said, as soon as the vehicle is standing, the speed is stable. I wouldn’t be disturbed by this anymore, but it has happened to me that the engine is turning again. Was just the bad moment at 400 tours. I don’t want to wake up any sleeping dogs now but can you understand this with your 1.8er too? Would be nice if you could contact us!

Hello, when I turn on my V50 2.0D MJ2006 after a cold night, the brake pedal is the first seconds (!!!!) hard. Only when I step on the engine 2, 3 times is everything normal.For this 2 to 3 questions: 1. Could it be the vacuum pump that it works nciht (or does not start in cold weather) 1.1 Does a new vacuum pump have to be registered in the Vida? 2. Does the engine itself produce a vacuum, which then gradually builds up? Where does it come from, is not a sucker engine. Thank you here an article of a newer series.. there was probably a valve in the vacuum pump to blame: http://www.autoservicepraxis.de/…r-13-000-ford-and-volvo-849818.html
