Hello, today with my T5 I made the oil service myself for the first time. Since the car is now 5 years old and has 106tkm on the clock and will be in my possession until the rust/accident or whatever we have separated I decided to make standard things (this is what I now count to make the oil change myself). And this of course will be a much cheaper course than with the friendly one. Here my list: 1) various filters (all MANN filter – so no cheap deck) oil filter r: 9,32 Euro Interior filter: 16,85 Euro Air filter: 16,88 Euro Aluring: 0,14 Euro Total: 51,40 Euro Then 5,8 liters of oil (Meguin Megol High Condition 5W40 with MB 229.5) at the price of 4,97 Euro incl. shipping. Thus oil costs: 28,83 Euro. Makes total material costs: 80,23 Euro. Timel. Use of my side: approx. 2h – while I have done a lot more besides – I have had my car bleeding out for quite a long time – really delusional how long there is still oil dripping out…. I am z ufrieden – but will make the next oil change already after 6 months. Real madness if you compare the new oil with the old used one. The “old” is a black broth – the new nice light and slightly brownish… Pope

Hello together, I’ve been interested in this great convertible for a long time and have now also been able to convince my OHL, will now make me look for it. It’s supposed to be a T5, Bj 2012 or 13. I drive so about 6-10000 km a year, on what I have to pay special attention to when buying and which accessories should not be missing at all Best Thanks in advance Greeting Volker

Hello dear Volvo community, I have recently been the owner of a C70 II (Bj 2011), which is equipped only with a tire repair kit. I will never really trust these kits, so I would like to bring an emergency bike with me. Against this background I would like to ask two questions: a) the assumption is actually correct that when looking for a used emergency bike for the C70 II I can in principle look at all vehicles that have the same hole circle (5×108) and the same hub diameter. better (63,4mm) have like a C70 II (can you get to know for example at lochkreisdaten.de) or are there any other limitations (injection depth, ABE) ? b) is there perhaps someone here who still has a suitable emergency wheel in the corner and wants to get rid of it ? Thanks for every answer. RH

Hello together Unfortunately, I can’t find anything about my problem in the forums. I hope one of you can help me. 2 days ago I changed the injector seal at an injector because diesel has leaked out. The seal was over. I noticed at the wechesln that the intake hose from the air filter to the engine is broken. I could just attach it with the clamp (replacement part is on the way). The next day I drove to work and on the way back I had All of a sudden there is no more power in the lower speed range. Visual control shows that all injectors are tight and the intake hose is still on it. Since then it starts very bad in the morning and has no more power in the speed range up to 2,000. With the OBD read out, the error message “P2002 diesel particulier filter efficiency belwo threeshold” shows me. My interpretation is that the engine no longer burns cleanly. I’m just a bit perplexed, maybe someone can help me. Thanks in advance for tips and hints. Many greetings Markus

Hello Together, today my V50 2.0D 2007 reported the following error: “Motor system maintenance required” After pressing the “Meldungstaste” a, left lever the melding disappeared. The engine was warm driven about 80 km. I mean to have noticed a slight jerking at a speed below 1,500. However, I would not conjure that. After about 30 minutes of service life I started the car renewed without any problems. Acceleration as always and no more error message. Also no more jerking. He said if the error has disappeared now it will be difficult to see what is in the error memory because it will probably be deleted after kutzer time. Was it perhaps a false alarm ??? I am a little worried since I drive to work every day 190 km (back and forth) and do not necessarily want to lie on the Autubahn. I am grateful about every tip. Gruss Thomas

Meal together, last Wednesday (of course exactly when you want to go to the airport or on vacation) I noticed a significant power loss with my S40 2.0D Bj 2005 (157,000 km). The engine only turned up to a maximum of 2800 rpm and managed to reach the 110 km/h even in the 6th gear. Since I had practically no other choice, I still went to the airport. Yesterday I came back and made my way home. At the first 1-2 km he had the normal Power, after that the game started from the front. I did not have the DPF replaced until today. There is still no error message in the cockpit. Today I am in the workshop with the vehicle and the error memory was read out: OBD: error code P2002: soot particle filter bank 1 – efficiency under minimum engine: error code 8194: soot particle filter – function faulty According to free workshop the DPF should be replaced. Recommendation is exchange for original part, additional the pump in the rear part of the vehicle, which is connected to the filter. The error memory has been deleted and I now have power again, but who knows how long… So I will probably have to do it. But since I don’t have to give away any money right now, I ask myself to what extent? I have already read here and there that it can also lie on the differential pressure sensor, which would then be significantly cheaper. If it is not on the sensor, the DPF would have to change it. rden. What about the workshop’s suggestion that the pump should be replaced directly? And what does it say for and against a purified DPF? Who knows the matter and can give me some advice so that I can get out of the number with the lowest possible cost? Thanks in advance.

Hello P1er! Yes, what a bad quality Volvo is installed! There you buy a Volvo (almost) new with almost 10,000 km on the clock, drives the 6.5 years and then that… The first defect! At 200,000 km the front Lambdasonde really kills! Message “Decreased engine power” (even less than before!?) and the emergency run occurs. More than 2000 rpm you can no longer turn the engine and it smells like fuel at the back. What kind of scrap! ? Not even 200,000 km gets Volvo without a gun Okay, yes, a little poorly formulated and now seriously. The first time I ever have a (serious) problem with my C30 2.0l. The engine runs, the box drives. ALL other diseases of the P1 series have NOT set up in my C30… – all 4 wheel bearings are original and from the plant still – the climate capacitor is still the first from the plant – no problems with any steering locks – no problems with the Electrics – no problems with the gearbox The “defects” I had so far were pure comfort things. Cracking drive shafts, crackling driver’s seat, creaking cathedral bearings, etc. serious problems my C30 has not yet done. Now it is in the 8 year and has 200,000 km down. Some statements from various forums included “the engine does not hold out 100,000 km” and “you should put a reserve gearbox in the trunk, you will definitely need that” and other statements. I have e don’t worry that the car will take part in another 200,000 km. And going after the condition, it will be absolutely without problems. The age of the car can’t be seen at So, so much on the subject of bad Ford quality in P1!

Moin, I bought a few months ago Volvo V50 2.0D BJ 2007 (Facelift) switch. After a short time the problems have already started. Suddenly I had a very high consumption, at Tempomat 60 without gradient 7-8L. and this has also been confirmed when refueling after about 600km: In addition, it also jerks around the 1800 revolution at little gas, if you hold about the speed (no matter which gear). But the jerking and the high consumption occur only together, but h old also not permanent. It’s almost like an on/off switch, either it’s there or not, it’s not related to something, so you can’t bring it in or make it stop when you’re driving. Read out didn’t do anything either. 5000km ago, AGR and DPF sensor were exchanged (already before my purchase). After that, I was at a free workshop, where the injectors were tested (OK), fuel filter replaced and a DPF regeneration initiated. (everything for 200€… ) This hasn’t changed anything. Had the assumption that it can have something to do with the additive? In the service issue it never says that it has been renewed and the car now has 207,000km. Presumables on DPF can be of course, but I have no loss of performance. My knowledge has not yet been exchanged. I am now considering giving it to a contract workshop, but thought before I put a lot of money (for me as an apprentice at least) on the table again, I try my luck again here. Thank you very much in advance!

I think the topic deserves its own thread. Quotation: Original written by Track42 I would be interested if you have a right to the mobility guarantee. I bought my car with, and in the purchase contract there is nothing of a mobility guarantee. Jütten & Koolen buys the vehicles themselves in Holland. If a Dutchman buys a car from this dealer, he also gets the mobility guarantee. Apparently the national Volvo Assistances are already structurally s I wonder if this is not contrary to EU law. At least there is nowhere on the website, Track42 has only been lucky, or everyone has had a look at it. My handler has at least said that he has never received a replacement car from the Association for EU imports before.

Hello everyone! I am very interested in the V50 and think that the purchase via a grey importer is definitely worth it. My questions: – Did you still be able to act well when buying with the well-known EU importers, e.g. with complete payment without financing? How much per cent were still in it? Or did you not get involved with the cheap EU prices? – Are there EU importers under the here repeatedly appearing names (Swedenservice, Auto Hock, Neuwag enbroker, Jütten & Koolen), of which you have to advise against for any reason? – Is a down payment usual when ordering? – Do you have to pay attention to a substandard equipment difference with EU imports (mostly from Holland)? Thank you, ERIK
