Hello guys, I own a V50 Bj 2007 non-facelift with 100KW. (the 2.0D PSA) and now about 169000km… I am satisfied with that, vehicle condition is quite good. The only thing I have been thinking about for a long time is the suspension or its behavior. I find that the car comes only moderately well through fast curves (many slanting position) and somehow cushions with uneven distance. Specifically, I rarely drive faster than 160, that just doesn’t feel so safe. Gra I would probably not complain and accept this as given if my parents did not have an Astra J from 2012 that is better on the road for light years. (Fahrwerk is simply nimbler and resembles potholes and fast curves as well as bridge stretch joints much better) I would also like to achieve this condition with my V50, if this is possible… Therefore my question: Which suspensions are here Most popular? I love the Bilstein B12 / B14, but unfortunately I only read contradictory stuff about it. sometimes hoppets (I don’t want to do that), sometimes it’s perfect again for fast curves…? Would that like to bag in the next service (April / June about) as I think that the current shock absorbers are already a bit finished. Cross handlebar rubbers/parts were made fresh at the last time, all around. Opinions about it? Thanks already

Hello everybody, I had my s40 T5 low last week with the original chassis (2cm)! Since then I notice that it is slightly vibrating the whole car when speeding up! If the car is filled with 5 people, then the vibration becomes stronger. I have listened a little bit around and apparently the drive shafts are a little too long and the car is even more tense: Does anyone else have the same problem?

Good morning, someone knows the values for the speed, which for the above engine (D4164T) can be reached at the AU in high idle if necessary up to the control speed. In the attached ZDK brochure to the AU I read on p. 11 that at least 90 % of the nominal speed must be reached. This would be at a nominal speed of 4000 rpm only 3600 rpm, i.e. a huge difference compared to the control speed of approx. 5100 rpm measured by me in advance. In some ways, the electronic pedal encoder will limit the speed so that the tester doesn’t turn the engine up higher than absolutely necessary. There are experiences. Thanks Chekorte

New Swedish shit in the V50: As I had to learn now, the error “Glühzeitsteuergerät” is not defective with the rocket engineers from the country of the Nobel Prize, for example, that the glow relay is defective. Oh no! Where do we just think there!! Of course this refers in the realm of Vikings still to the wiring and the glow plugs themselves (Only funny, that for example with the TIGUAN not only a defect of the relay or the glow plugs is displayed to me but even is communicated to me, WELCHE by d I’m in the shower!!!) But first I installed new relay and then stupid looked and sometimes old-fashionedly measured the glow candle circle. And then one was over.Alcohols pay attention! Incandescent time control device defective means that everything in the glow circle can be in the bucket, relays, wiring, glow candles. Therefore check everything here before you buy anything (plug in front of the glow candles, one glows before, the other measures the incoming voltage. 4 veins, one per candle, – each has 12V at the Gl In fact, a red lamp with a diameter of 3 cm in the dashboard should do just as well in terms of information density as the on-board computer in Pipi long stocking quality. Crazy!

Dear Moose Community, I would like to buy a friend his C70II (12/06) T5 with Heico LS (250hp) soon. However, the car has a problem: There are very strong vibrations when driving powerfully. After that, they calm down again very soon and at higher speeds you don’t notice anything. My friend’s workshop told him that one (or both) drive shafts had broken out. Today I had the car at my Volvo master to change teeth and he checked the g However, he couldn’t find a game in the drive shafts, especially since he thinks the whole thing is unlikely at the 110TKm and came to the conclusion after the test drive, that it was rather an imbalance in the tire, because the speed range in which the phenomenon occurs is very limited. However, my friend said that the problem also occurs with the sommer tires, so it is not the tire. If any of you have similar experiences or an idea about what It could be otherwise? Thank you in advance!

Hello dear municipality I have only recently driven a Volvo V50 1.6d. He drove really great. However, shortly after the purchase he had only reduced performance. Memory read out resulted: soot particle filter differential pressure sensor signal faulty AGR pressure sensor signal error AGR throughput too low AGR exhaust gas throughput too high The display says: stability program maintenance required (sporadic) Made so far: differential pressure sensor replaced without result Dieselpartike lfilter (cleaned) without result AGR cleaned without result AGR renewed without result AGR sealed Turbo renewed I had the seller’s information that Turbo and DPF were renewed. That’s why I only changed the differential pressure sensor. As this was without result, I had the pressure measured at the DPF. This was 92mbar. After cleaning it is now 19mbar. When controlling the turbo it turned out that the shaft had 5mm axial play. Then the was also changed. Now b I smoke the help of this community. There are now about 600€ in it and I don’t get it sold either. With the old owner also no litigation can be started, because I had not made a contract. I am very curious whether someone can and wants to help me. Thanks already in advance.

As I will drive approx. 100 km a day, I have taken into account a carefully-kept Volvo C30 D5. The engine is supposed to be, volvo-typically, robust, but what about the body, the electronics and all wear-dependent components? Count the offer of C30 with just that motorization at hand – and mostly only in combination with the 5-speed converter automatic. According to some Users are not so much the hit. Is this also true for durability, i.e. is the 6-speed manual transmission generally more durable? Look forward to your contributions!

My S40 cracks like the devil with every load change (left/right movements) of the car. The Volvo workshop has lubricated everything possible and can also do nothing else, except install a new seat, which is very expensive. The WHIPS can no longer work with the silicone part because it has not triggered any more with a car afterwards. I am also not sure if it is only on the WHIPS, because it cracks everywhere – seat front left, front right, back etc. Plastic covers of the seat rails are also not in place and the rails themselves are firmly tightened. I found some used seats on the internet, partly with a few km. Can I, as a “Laie”, remove/change a seat myself? My S40 has no seat heating by the way…is the side airbag with this Volvo in the seat or in the door frame? Anything else I need to consider? Belt lock / belt stretcher? Thank you and best regards Peter

Good morning! For a few weeks, my faithful moose has been jerking pretty rough at the traffic lights, for example. Feels like massage seats. The speed remains stable. I tap the accelerator pedal minimally off. If I have driven half an hour or hour it will be much better. I can’t find anything in the forum that could fit quickly. If I have missed anything, sorry! Is a V50 of 2006 2.0D with now 283,000 km. Can that be the throttle flap? That the not m Keeps very clean and open? Or LMM? In the 8 years I have the moose now I have never noticed that, or do you become more sensitive in old age?

Moin together Have a rather disturbing problem with my V50… And my discs always get a gray veil, which is quite disturbing in the current season. Only right when other vehicles come to meet. That blinds then extremely and you hardly see anything… The veil can only be removed with glass cleaner. It is not foggy moisture!! The veil remains, even if the air conditioning is active times The veil comes so every 2-3 days And then I have to clean the window. When it rains, the veil forms much faster, so that I usually have to clean the window after driving in the rain. The worst is on the front window, the front side windows and the rear window. But everyone else also has a veil. However, it doesn’t bother. Last year around this time I had no problems with it… Question is, what can be done about it or what could cause it. I tried everything but I For me it’s so annoying, because then I hardly see anything in the dark and I’m also a bit pingy with the windshield. It always has to be strip-free and clean with me Maybe someone has some ideas
