Hello dear forum, I am looking for a family car up to 5,000 € (for emergency also 6000) . Best a station wagon , if necessary also Touran or similar i would like a petroler with not too much mileage and ESP , ABS and Isofix . And too LAST the vehicle should be . Do me a favor A4 or a Golf Variant these are but I find either very expensive (a4) or scare me off the TSI / FSI engines . Avensis (T25 ) also find very good , seems to me too big . Octavia likes , but I find the (trustworthy) offers in Berlin rather thin. However, this V50 has done me good:https://suche.mobile.de/…/details.html?… It’s 200km away from me, but since Berlin doesn’t have many Volvos for the budget, it seems quite ok. What do you think, is it worth a trip and what is generally to think of (this) V50? My research has so far produced nothing (too) worse. The spare parts are probably expensive. But of these similar I haven’t found any problems like the VW Gasoline. Thank you for your advice! Greeting Meran

Good day, My Swede with a 2.4 (140hp) engine currently consumes about 400ml of oil per 1000km. (150TKM mileage, year 2006) Otherwise a dream car!! Performance is still completely available. Mostly I consume about 1000km hardly anything and then I suddenly consume on 500km 600ml of oil. Use the Castrol 0W-30 (recommended by Volvo workshop). Is an oil change to a viscous oil (e.g. Shell 0W-40) useful? Would you like to stay at 0W, as I soon live in Lapland and it there Very cold in winter The car was at Volvowerkstatt and was examined for oil loss. “Unfortunately” everything negative. Spark plugs also checked for residues. So nothing leads to an oil burning/oil loss. Have never seen a blue cloud in the back. What do you consume with this engine? Is that normal? Selling? Engine wash? Thank you for your help!! If information is missing, please ask.

Hello all, I have some questions about a V50 1.6D from 2006 (key no. 9101/ABO): I write some stick point-like observations, infos + questions together. Maybe someone can help me further. – The car has run 180Tkm, is moved every day 2x 40km highway – Fzg. was before ~3000km to the oil change -> today tested: too much oil. Where can this come from? – MKL is not at the light, no noises, no pains, no power loss. Car actually runs normally except: “ru mpeliger” cold start, approx. 5 sec. slight speed fluctuations after starting – Is there a message if the Eolys tank is empty? This was last filled up at the DPF exchange in 02/2015 at 120Tkm – How do you recognize that the DPF regenerated? – Error memory has ADM-E010, ECM-6630, ECM-2A40 ? – Air filter replaced: the old was oily – s. Photo attached, what task has the red marked part? around it everything is oily – The yellow marked air hoses have an oil film inside, up to the air filter he, also in the turbocharger is oil… I would like to drive the car for a while, but I have concerns above all about the oil in the air hoses… Thank you very much in advance!

Hello dear community, I recently sold my beloved V50 2.0D. With more of a crying eye than with a laughing eye. The model which is supposed to follow is actually already clear, again a V50. However with the T5 engine. The higher fuel consumption compared to my old one is rather unimportant, because the work path has been significantly shortened. In addition, I dream for a long time about the dying engine combination 2.5l 5cylinder turbo. But now to my questions: What about the AWD? Does this drivetrain cause more problems than the FWD? How solid and robust is it? -To this end, one has to say, I live in northern Germany. So no mountains and AWD not necessarily necessary, but possibly nice to have. Handswitch or automatic? Automatic takes a little bit of the sportiness, but at Stop and Go in the city perhaps more pleasant? Since also the question about the solid. Finally: I noticed that there are extremely few in DE and have therefore looked around me Europe-wide and e Is there any experience, speciality or simply whether a purchase from the Netherlands would be recommended or not? Thank you very much! Lg PS: the only alternative to the V50 would be the S40 II as T5

Hello, my C70 II had a roof flaw and lt workshop was the control unit defective. After researching and thinking because I really liked the C70 I had it changed at Volvo, including everything that belongs to it (software set up, adjustment, etc.) Now after I picked it up I opened the roof 4x in 2weeks and then message trunk not closed, it was checked but everything has to be inside in top opening position the cover below and the trunk m was closed. Then when pressing the roof opening again the windows drove down 2 cm and there were roof defects… workshop. I did this and in the workshop the error was understandable. Error memory gave no information where the problem lies. Fzg then stood for a few days with Volvo and despite this error nothing was to be found. In the workshop it was e.g. when it was open no more to… Then without reason it went back in the workshop and there the roof was opened x times and closed sen. LT. Volvo direct demand of the dealer – it could be the main power connection to the control unit. It should not be the same error and the change of the control unit would have been necessary. Since it worked nothing was done and… I picked it up again after 3 times opening within 2 weeks…. The error is back. Does anyone have an idea or tip? I’m concerned that it works – and after the not insignificant costs I find the result something However, I’m not satisfied with what it costs to pay for the error – that’s why you give the Fzg to the dealer of the manufacturer. My suspicion was in the roof contacts because I had that with the beeping when crossing a floor shaft before the workshop visits, this was solved by pressing the roof closing button. Now I give the Fzg back to Volvo, I am grateful for every tip that helps. Ultimately it is a technical problem. I took the new control unit with me. I noticed the error in connection with higher outside temperature – but that can also be related to the fact that you usually try to open the roof when it is warmer.

Hello guys, we have problems with our V50 again. It is a 2.0D and has a little over 180000 on the speedometer. I briefly describe the procedure of things. It started with increased consumption- Currently we are at about 8L/100Km. We were at the Free Workshop, no diagnosis, no error with the universal device indicated. Well, continued. Then a slight jerking in the lower speed range was added. We then drove further up in the display of the error “Motorsystem maintenance e The reason for this was that the workshop did not have an appointment in the next few weeks and only deleted the error. I then tried to find a bug myself. So I bought and set up a Vida Dice on Ebay. My first guess was that the DPF did not make any more regeneration. The DPF was not changed at 120000, only professionally cleaned. So the first thing I did was that the DPF was not replaced at 120000. e I read the last cycle from the regeneration, this showed at 2,5km. I started from a permanent regeneration, therefore also the high consumption. So the filling of the additive tank read out – 1/15, LEER. Then got me a liter of Eoys 176 and replenished the additive tank. About Vida then reset. Read out 15/15. Super I thought it would be, the additive will be replenished at the next refueling, regeneration and good. At the first refueling I am at risk with the Vida. n to see if the pump is running after refueling. Unfortunately, the pump did not run. However, I don’t get any error from the ADM. The pump is not running again via the function of filling the additive hose after repair. How would you like to continue? My wife usually moves the Volvo, this morning the message “motor system maintenance is required” came again at the speed ranges 1200 and 2300 when there was a strong jerking. I will read out the message again this evening. About jeg I would be very happy if I could give you tips! Thank you very much in advance! -so long

The year 2005 is. With 110000Km taken first hand over dealer. 1. What is AWD at Volvo?!? Although I have not moved the car yet in the border area. (Comes still :-)) But at least when starting fast you notice nothing from the AWD. DSTC intervenes and does not come from the spot. And in my special case I have a curvy muddy descent to the garage which I have to drive backwards.. also there I notice zero from the AWD and have zero traction. Where the 4-wheel drive? 2. Is hand switched. Has he any Which directions can I take off? Can couple and give gas as I want.. Drives well.. but rough. Have the feeling that there is something electronic and he always starts immediately. 3. The famous infamous gear wheel on the Navi. My Navi makes terrible noises when driving in and out.. clamps. Has also not been completely pulled out and had to help. Gear is not that case… how do I have to lubricate that this is better? 4. My old Turbo only really started at 4000 tours. With the Volvo now I have the feeling, that with 5000 tours after that nothing more comes and I have to switch. Right? 5. Would like to add a rubber pan for the trunk. The AWD coffee room is the same as the normal V50? 6. Dealer before buying has changed to me fresh water pump and timing belts according to his statements. How can I check whether this is really so? 7. Before always Volvo garage… the dealer where I did not get it. I also did stink normal 5W40 oil in. Should I change it? Otherwise.. kind of funny. Engine seduces to drive.. the rest comes but rather very cozy. Strange mix the car. But I like it. 🙂

Hello dear Volvo community, my problem exists only in a similar way already than Theard, so I get another one. The problem is a little longer. It started with my C30 not accelerating any more, then I went to a workshop and had the fault memory read out, then it came out that there is something with the particle filter, which was then cleaned, during a test drive was then noticed that the car accelerated uncontrollably, because the oil level of itself It’s very hard to get an appointment, so they built me a new sensor behind the particulate filter, renewed a diesel line, and replayed a system update for me. Since then, the car has been running wonderfully again, just since the weekend it hasn’t accelerated again, and I guess it’s the particulate filter again, I’ve been working with Volvo anger ufen and they thought that the cost will amount to 130€. Now I wonder if it will be cheaper, because this amount actually seems to me to be quite high, because the other repair was not without it. I would be happy if someone had any idea what it might cost.

Moin, own a Volvo C30 bj 2007 that now cracks the 300,000. Hand-operated 2.0 diesel. Never had any problems! Now the clutch seems to say goodbye (maybe also normal that is worn after the km). If I step through the clutch pedal completely, then it shakes quite energetically. But only when it has completely penetrated. Since then I do not step this to 100% to change gears. Is also recently the problem. How harmful is this for the car? s I immediately replace a complete coupling, or is it just a particular component of the coupling, which one can replace. Because I ask myself whether it would be worthwhile to replace a complete coupling, which certainly will not be cheap !?

Hello, I have a problem and so far 2 workshops could not really tell me how serious this is. I would be very grateful for an assessment, tips and suggestions! I bought a V50, 1.6d, year 2006 with 172TKM before 4 months. I had 2 workshops look over it – dubious vehicle, import, various inconsistencies, but technically so far ok. Directly after purchase: 1. Fuel filter leaked – was replaced. 2. Air intake hose torn at overflow – was replaced. S Then during the BAB-driving message “Stabilization system maintenance required” & “Decreased engine power”. Then I went to the workshop with 80KmH. After ignition out and on, the message was gone. When reading out the following: error code: 26160: glow plugs, circuit faulty 42512: additive dosing module, circuit faulty 10816: differential pressure sensor soot particle filter, signal faulty 5399: turbocharger, charge pressure too high. see that the thin hose end of the new intake hose, which sits at the overflow of the engine, has stretched (how emptied) and is sprayed out of oil. That was also the problem, why the previous one was changed and someone had tried to screw it with screws. Is this a common problem, or because of construction? The question is now, what does all this sound like for you? Is there any correlation between the errors? How serious does it sound? Does anyone have a problem? a similar experience? Where to start? Thank you already now and all a nice weekend! Greetings, Markus
