Good morning community! I plan to buy a c30 and need some advice, which I should pay attention to. My object of desire is: Volvo c30 2.5 T5 RDesign bj 2009 68.000km 1 hand 8.500€ Equipment: ABS Aluminium rims passenger airbag onboard computer CD Electric window lifter Electric side mirror ESP driver airbag Air conditioning Automatic air conditioning Leather equipment Multifunction steering wheel Fog headlights Non-smoking vehicle Radio side airbag Power steering Seat heating Sport suspension Sport 1.Question: is the price ok? 2 Question: What are you looking for during the test drive and inspection? 3. Question: which repairs and maintenances are coming at the old and the running performance in the next time? Thanks in advance

Moin, first of all the data about the car: – Volvo V50 – 2.0 D – BJ 2006 – 130.000k KmNow to the problem: For about 3 weeks I have heard a “pocken” from the rear right when driving. At about 40kmh it starts to become well audible and the faster I drive, the louder/faster it becomes. I then looked at the tires and could not notice anything, but since they would have been up this year anyway, I bought new ones and had them raised yesterday. What else can that be? My ideas: – Wheel bearings –> that should be more crunchy, but my sound sounds as if you have a bump in the tire that produces a corresponding noise on the ground and in the vehicle at every turn. Also, it won’t get worse/better in curves – rim –> That should have been seen when the tires were balanced, or? – Brake disc –> Can such a thing happen from a minima, if necessary? l crooked brake disc coming? For me it looks good, but I don’t want to rush out anything, but I really don’t believe it. More ideas? I still tend to the wheel bearings myself, but videos at youtube show a different sound than mine. This page on the other hand: http://www.tipscout.de/radlager-defect_tipp_4933.html speaks of “comparable to the fast knocking of a woodpecker”, which would fit and also “Later the noises occur even at cur Vent-free ride.” Thank you very much for your help.

Dear MOTORTALK forum, a little something to me: I will soon be 18, have the FS since Nov ’14 and drive since the regularly accompanied almost every day a T5 Multivan. I want to have as fast as possible own car and also have the luck to have a job next to the school to afford it ;-). But on the subject: I am very impressed by the Volvo C30 with the 1.6l machine. I have already researched in detail what a used one costs (car + insurance + tax + tax + tax + tax + tax + tax + tax + tax + tax stop + maintenance). The question I ask myself: Is it suitable as a first car of my own? Can I expect that it can achieve 200,000km and more without having to put in more than it cost? For qualitative answers I would be very grateful 🙂

Hello, my moose will soon be due for the brakes. Now I ask myself, which brakes are the right ones?! I kept pushing on them: Suitable for 16″ rims but not for 17″. In the bill are entered 205/55R16 90V, raised are 205/55R17 93W. So the 16″ brake system (front 300mm, rear 280mm) should be present, or am I wrong? Could someone be so nice and enlighten me a little bit here. Thank you. EDIT: So, after I now have the brake caliper a I found the following: Brake disc at the front diameter 300mm, at the rear 280mm. But for me, the question still remains: What is it like with the rim sizes? Why are some discs, even if the diameters are the same, not suitable for 17″ rim size?

Hello dear Volvo friends, I am from the MT forum Mercedes W124. Please use your help. Search as a daily-driver and to the caravan pull a vehicle and I came across a Volvo V50:http://suchen.mobile.de/…/241387934.html?action=parkItem Can you help me with the purchase decision something with your experience ? The vehicle should be moved daily (road, highway, very little in the city). Running capacity approx. 20,000 km per year. n Canoe on the roof! How do you appreciate that? Thank you! Hans

Hello together, I don’t know where to start and I am grateful for every advice. Have bought a worry child. Everything started at the end of 2016. The car consumes significantly more and ran slightly unevenly. Shortly afterwards the engine burst at 178 tkm. As a result we had a overhauled engine with new injectors and all filters installed. Cost point beyond the 6000 Euro. Now we have the car again and unfortunately the consumption did not decrease, but rather rather gestie The oil level is astonishingly high, even almost rising. The workshop is slowly no longer aware. The injectors were last checked. Also there are no error messages in the system. If the differential pressure sensor had been suspected, however, there are no error messages. Short vehicle values: Volvo V50 2.0d 2007 100 kw 180 tkm DPF at approx. 150 tkm. Replacement engine from Vege Are for every little tip. and give thanks for their advice.

Hi together, excuse this senseless, moody thread. I sailed today with the C70 D3 in the federal republican highway reality just under 500km. I know: the 5 cylinders died because of too much internal friction, fleet consumption etc. But I have been on the road again with an average consumption of 6.4l. Mode “forward looking” and Vmax 160 km/h whenever possible – while I move a barely 2-ton Klotz. The Kassel mountains lay in between and otherwise flowing He traffic. I enjoyed the cozy growling of the 5-cylinder again very much. From me, Volvo could dig out the 5-cylinder again if they were looking for a unique selling point. Greetings!

Hello together, today I mounted my winter tires and had to notice with horror that I have strange traces on all rims. They were stacked in the garage. These are no scratches, possibly some kind of corrosion…? Can someone tell me what this is and where it comes from? Photos are attached, thank you!

Servus friends, I drove my C30 D3 from 2011 (99,000km) now for the first time a ‘longer’ route; exactly 260km highway. On average 140 km/h. At the same time, on round-trip and return journey, each after c.a. 180-200km the warning came: oil level low. I then drove to a rest area and peeked over the stand over the display – there was actually ‘only’ one of five beams. Normally he gives me 2 out of 5 beams. After short service life of c.a. 15min were w But I’m back at 2 out of 5. Now that I’m back to work normally (one distance 70km) I don’t get a warning message and stay at 2 out of 5 strokes. It only seems to come after a certain runtime. I don’t get wild at first, but it’s a bit stumpy. That’s why the usual question: what do I have to do or is it so acceptable? I’m irritated that the car only received a change of oil in the normal maintenance interval at Volvo a few months ago and about 3000km. I can’t see the oil loss on the engine as a layman; everything is dry under the hood. Background: I want to go on vacation in Bavaria soon; 900km per track… I can’t see the oil loss on the engine as a layman. I can’t see the oil loss on the engine as a layman. I can’t see the oil loss on the engine. I can’t see the oil loss on the engine.

Moin people. New problem Checked today the oil level on the V50, 2.0d from 2005. Oh shock: oil level at the maximum. OK, “701-deckel” opened and in the complete filling tube white/yellowish mucus cooling water level checked: ~1cm below minimum, no oil in the water When driving I did not notice anything the last days. Drive every day 35km easy distance over federal and country roads, partly local passes. Regeneration etc. one noticed clearly when he carried it out – there has Two months ago, he hung on to the tester – without an entry. Is my ZKD going through? Oil increase? Next steps to limit the error? Does anyone know a good workshop in the Diepholz or Vechta circle? Thank you for your answers.
