Hey, I’ve been having a leak in the lower engine compartment for at least 50000km. I noticed this from the small black spots in the carport. Forest and meadows workshop and Volvo dealer tipped on turbo damage, despite my doubts, because I had neither whistles nor power loss. So turbo new. See there, the oil stains did not want to disappear. Oil loss (with clean working DP, wg. oil dilution) minimal, I would say now per day about 5-10 drops. Tendency naturally rising. W I think I’m going on, but it’s starting to get creepy. And my colleagues are starting to wonder who’s car is in the parking lot. Now my questions to you: What’s the most common cause of oil crumbs in the model? Guess now I’m going to the shaft sealing ring, I’ve read that there’s a clutch side and a belt disc side, when both are changing? Is a KW Simmerring the same? Oh yes, at 210 000km so I’m at 210 000km Timing belt change is not far anymore. Please make me smarter! Greetings Frank

Hello everyone, I have a question for the legal experts among you. Exactly 2 years ago I bought my C70 convertible from the dealer. In the vehicle description and the sales offer is clear and clear “with original Mirzam rims 18 inch – tyres 235-40-18. Now I have to go to the TÜV and have prepared to mount new tires. It turns out that it is not like in the sales documents about the above mentioned rim but a 17 inch rim with the tyres 23 5-45-17. So a clear mistake….or possibly deception in the vehicle offer! Ash on my head that I didn’t notice it earlier, I just trusted and am now very irritated. Does one of you know what chances I have now to get the dealer (Volvo authorized dealer) for it? I’m not interested in starting a war, but I feel somehow cheated and would like to enforce my right of course. I have already sent an e-mail to the dealer. n, but have not yet received any answer. I am grateful for any answer! LG Ebi

Hello, in the recent past my Volvo V50 has suddenly encountered several problems: Sudden acceleration drop – maximum speed 2000 rpm – no higher speed possible, even if the accelerator pedal is pressed through. Tempomat (cruiser function) can no longer be activated. No error message of the board computer. Remedy is only possible by driving interruption (default off/on) Who has had similar experience with the V50 ? Urs achen ? What does a repair cost ? Thank you for your feedback !

Hello dear Volvo community, unfortunately my Volvo V50 2.0d from the year 2004 brings me back to the palm with 279,000 km. On the highway great consumption values and super round engine run. Also easily creates the 200 km/h and the fuel consumption at 120 km/h is about 5.5 liters. However in the city traffic (even with activated cruise control) at 50 km/h consumption. Onboard computer beyond 20 liters. When accelerating even part 99,9 l. But on average it shows always beyond the 20 Lit I have already tried a lot and the fault memory does not emit anything (is therefore empty). – DPF changed at 230,000 km – pressure converter solenoid valve (brown part) – suction bridge cleaned – additive DPF filled up and memory resett – EGR valve new I am sure that it takes place in this phase the regeneration of the DPF. But about 400 km at a time? Then it runs again a few km (about 50-100 km) quite normal and does not jerk and then this phenomenon stops again. I want to go back to the workshop, I prefer to put my own hand in the mileage performance. The workshops think that you should get a new car. But I don’t want to accept this and hope for your help! Thank you in advance.

Moin, I finally managed to build my AHK under the car on the weekend… Is there almost no effort… First of all, everything worked without problems but….. On the trailer the reversing lamps don’t turn on and the moose doesn’t turn off the PDC… ???? Everything else, turn signal, brake, light, Nebler (also with switch off the moose) Duration Plus etc. is all there. Does anyone have an idea what’s wrong?? Where is it not located, I hang my BMW from it, everything goes incl. PDC A Bschreibung. Greeting Kai

Hello, I have a question about the following facts for you: Last week Sunday I filled my car and after that suddenly the “motor system maintenance required” display appeared in the display of my VOLVO V 50 2.0D, which has about 176,000 down. I didn’t notice anything while driving, no power drop or anything else. After that I was with a friend who works in a free workshop today and was so friendly to read the error. Result – Number of errors 3: -Glühzei In addition, the auto mechanic has found that diesel has leaked out of an injection nozzle. If one could probably see the engine like this (I am Laie this plus :/). My question is now whether one of you has experiences or an idea of what the cause is and what to do. My friend said, since you have little experience with Volvos in the workshop, it makes little sense to all of you. to eliminate possible sources of error by repairs and thus repair many unnecessary things. I would also like to know if you would not advise me to continue driving or not?! I would be very pleased if you could help me further. Thank you already in advance! Erik

Hello everyone, I wanted to ask if any of you had a new bigger turbo installed at a T5? Does it also bring something to install a new KAT? What else could you do besides chip, sports exhaust, candles to get more power out? Thanks Feda78

I have the well-known cracking of the drive shafts. Both sides and that gets on my nerves. Now of course I have read a lot of things and read a lot of contradictions. The one writing that you should “stick” the shafts with a special resin. The other writing that the drive shaft toothing is to be lubricated. And… I even read about changed sem screws, you should take those from the XC90. What is the right one now? Glue or sm What about the new (modified or reinforced) semscrews. Can anyone give me reliable information? Unfortunately I did not find anything in the Vida.

Tach, the air conditioning of my ELCH, V50 2,4i Bj2007 has a problem. Whether the climate works is a bit happy thing. i.e. with 70% probability it works at a cold start. The whole thing is usually 10-15 minutes good, then only warm air comes off. with a little bit happy I can then bring the climate by skilfully turning off and on again 10 minutes function. But that was it then. With a warm start it looks even worse. Z bad to not at all. The calender was filled up and transferred with a contra agent. But no visible leak discovered. The compressor magnetic coupling is off and on. OBD diagnosis I made with VIDA DICE – apparently the magnetic coupling sometimes gets off. with the free friend I was already – which meant that with 90% probability the compressor is broken. could it also be the capacitor? or both? thank you for your help Frederic

Hello, with my little one (C30, Grosser V40) we found in the underbody tank, where AdBlue comes in, brick-red liquid, is normal with Volvo (Ad Blue is normally transparent and very cheap, but with Volvo it costs over 70€/l – what is that????C30 2.0D Momentum (so diesel).
