Hi guys Since I still have a hard time with the decision of a T5, I wanted to know from you what to pay attention to… I am the 2,4i(170hp) test run last week, must say, the thing surprised me, would actually be enough 😉 But back to the T5, many told me not to take the sports suspension, since the T5 is already good from the house… What else do I have to pay special attention to ? I am actually lately, perhaps age-related ;- ) became more the cozy cruiser, but am always happy if I have a certain reserve PS for emergencies 😉 Thanks, I look forward to many reports from the T5… PS: Or should I wait for the V50 D5 (185PS) ?

Hello dear ones, since my V50 gets an eye-transplant today, I got a rental car and would like to announce here my comparison conclusion. Perhaps interesting for one or the other buyer. I have one: Volvo V50 2.0D 6-speed (136hp, 4-cylinder, circuit) Summum equipment with Bi-Xenon and Audio High-Performance car rental today: Volvo V50 2.4i Geartronic (170hp, 5-cylinder, automatic) Momentum equipment with RTI-Navi and Audio HP Although I’m only 20km away The first impression is usually the most important one. So, my opinion of the 2.4i GT: + The Navi is absolutely brilliant. I am very excited, was used to only PDA-Navi. + Automatic is nice to drive, switching is annoying sometimes. + The Dala-Tech covers are clearly more gripping than my leather seats. – That should be 170hp? – When stepping on the gas it takes a second of memory until the Moto reacts. Very unpleasant, I knew about my Leon turbo gasoline. My Diesel has – I missed sitting heating this morning. Very, thanks to -10°C. – the engine is quiet in idle mode, but as soon as you drive on the highway it would be too loud for me. Will be kicked very much. – Average consumption according to BC were 10,3 liters in the test car. I don’t know what time period. FAZIT: Due to the significantly lower perceived power and the annoying volume, the NO alternative to my 2.0D would be.

Hello @ all ! after I have been reading here for some time, I would like to introduce myself and the moving V50 times briefly. My V50 listens to the name “Nasenbär” (my brother-in-law gave him this name) and somehow it fits even if you look at it sideways. I am working a lot with the vehicle (about 1,500km per week) and did not want to have it. But is a business car and since I am only an employee, I had to take it. A V70 was my boss too expensive At least he got himself convinced to a momentum with sports suspension, roof railing and high-p/changers. He wanted to order a kinetic with nothing but RTI/Teflon, DALA, PDC rear and AHK. But RPF was not in any way in question for him! Despite all this I will drive the car now and get to grips with my schiksal. However, the “nasal bear” starts just as much with small cocks (see “Best of…” thread) as its predecessor (Renault Laguna 2.2dCi). I hope it ends differently ! cu… S ven

Should I take an S40 or a V50? Actually, I find the S40 more elegant, the line is more chic. The V50 is more practical, the cargo space is better accessible than through the rather small loading hatch at the S40. I do not necessarily need a station wagon, but if you need it then … The overview to the rear is worse with the S, but it is 5cm shorter (but probably not really what off) Otherwise everything is the same, or there are more Differences?

Where did you place it ? Where is the display (fals available) ? Does the MUTE circuit work with it ? External or internal speaker solution ? Thank you for your experience. Background of these questions: My dealer has sold me the Parrot LS 3200. Unfortunately, it can not be connected to the Volvo MOSTBUS system, because it only has ISO plugs. Does anyone have experience with it ?

Hello I have my problems with the original Volvo steering wheel when “driving sports” , it’s just huge! My question would be if the sports steering wheel is smaller and more handy? probably not! Thank you Donvito

The old song of the V50 2.0D is already familiar here. Especially in connection with the soot particle filter, which causes constant trouble. Also many complain about the V-Max. of the V50 2.0D. The days I drove the new Audi A4 Avant 2.0TDI, with 140hp. The vehicle drives according to the manufacturer 207km/h peak. Without problems the vehicle has come to the speed, also the engine has been much more powerful. Either something is wrong with my V50 2.0D or in connection with the soot particle filter, However, what comes the same as the information from the manufacturer is a laugh number compared to the Audi. By the way, it is indicated that the Audi needs 9.9sec. up to 100km/h and the V50 2.0D 9.6sec. I can tell you that the Audi will definitely leave the V50 standing. So much for the 2.0D topic, which in my view was a mistake to buy.

Servus Dear community. I have determined after short or long time that my vehicle is leaking, but this time inside…. I cleaned my floor mat (rubber) the other day, I started out having lost a can of iren Last content, so after which I inserted ioe, was a spot again a short time later, I tried it too, and it tastes like coolant again. And the only thing that can be there is the heat exchanger…. So now the question is, is d arg complicates the exchange, or is it relatively easy, wants to be called the dashboard out or not, I hope not. Thanks to you already in advance.

Hello, I would like to sell my Volvo S40 II BJ 2007 with 155,000 km. The car is very well maintained, garage car, has various special equipment that I don’t want to list now In April the RP filter was replaced for 1,500 €. A week ago the turbocharger & injection nozzle was replaced for 2,500 €. Next TÜV 04/2015 According to DAT the dealer purchase value (of course without detailed information) is about 6,024 €. I don’t want to offer it at a price where no one comes. But I don’t want to waste it after investment of 4T€. Does anyone have experience? Thank you very much.

Hello together, As already discussed in thread, the original equipment Pirelli P7 summer tires do not seem to harmonize with the C70. I now have saw tooth formation on the rear axle and also the corresponding “tubes” (currently at city speed around 50 km/h – probably even at higher speeds, only there it is still not noticeable due to the wind noise).The tires have a mileage of about 20,000 km See a legitimate chance that my seller (Volvo Autohaus), or Volvo itself acknowledges this as a “lack” of the object of purchase? (show vehicle, during this phase the winter tires were raised) How could Volvo / Autohaus remedy this? Has anyone had a similar constellation and how was such a thing regulated? Is the “pech” or still a “disaster”? Thank you for expert tips!
