  • V50 2.4i Electronic problems

    Hello, with my V50 the following problem occurred: At one stroke loud error messages. immobilizer, brake fluid level too low (but is not so), wiping water too low (is not so) etc. Cars could not be started any more. This succeeded only after the battery was disconnected – 5 min wait – clamp on the 3rd or 4th time. Then he ran and made further strangeness. Then the flasher flashed at once and could not be turned off again. During the ride no Dre The battery has 12 volts of voltage. Thought first the voltage would be too low and had bridged. That probably wasn’t it. Did they now expand, the car is without voltage. Maybe the error memory is empty tonight. Did someone have the same problem? Is this possibly a known problem? Thank you for your answers.

  • V50 handlebar front

    Hi guys, I just sold a couple of great third party rims from my v50. The tires were much stronger on the inside than on the outside, which probably points to the rear bearings on the front side handlebars these have also first cracks…(was just in the Volvo workshop anyway and had this looked at, at least domlag is still ok and steering and wheel bearing also ) I think it will then anyway the whole cross handlebar…. What amazes me are the price differences… I’m looking at Skand right now. ix, original volvo 182,66 Skandix house brand 65,55 Is there anything (except Volvo’s profit margin and pursuit of wealth) that justifies this price difference ? skandix does not sell a cheap shell or ? The corresponding bolts you take also immediately new or ? If I have replaced the parts, then I have to remeasure / adjust the chassis ? As always thank you, Jo

  • Consumption winter- summer tyres

    Hello! I have a stupid phenomenon for me with my C70. Classic I know the thing so that one consumes more with winter tyres than with the summer flaps. With the motorizations usually about 0.5l more in winter. Now the thing is however the other way around. Summer Apollo 235/40 R18 Winter Continental Wintercontact 215/55 R16 Furthermore, the summer flaps are so sensitive from Spurrillen, a premature exchange is not really worthwhile, however, as soon as they are in the Kri What can you recommend for the summer tyres or who already had this phenomenon?

  • V50 Trunk

    Hello, I am not a V50 owner, but I would like to get one, which deters me a little bit is the size of the trunk – it is given with 419 L. I was already looking at a pair of used ones, I noticed that the trunk would still theoretically have reserve – if one looks at the styrofoam tub (with reserve wheel etc.) under the trunk floor, the m.E. could be made quite 5 cm lower, to me at first sight nothing is up Is the sci-fi what I am fantasizing about, or would it be realistic? Thank you. EDIT: still to the info – I looked at V50 of the year 2007, mostly 1.6 D in the equipment variant Momentum

  • Fucked up.

    Hello, I made a stupid mistake with my Volvo V50 built in 2004 (1.8 petrol) . I tried to exchange the LEDs with my son at the speedo (was completely dark meanwhile ) After we have the speedo again , the car can not start any more , and the windscreen wipers run all the way . Also the immobilizer is on . I then expanded the speedo and saw that something solder has dripped down . It could have caused a short . Have jetz t it cleaned up again, but the symptoms are still. What can I do before I have the car scrapped ??.

  • V50 1.8. SRS maintenance urgent

    As already mentioned in the title lights are today tomorrow the Airbag light / maintenance urgent. The car was now 1-2 months in the hall, when I got it 3 days ago it has jumped without any problems however you are aware that the battery no longer has the full power. So I now did not have to orgel or so, but you notice it nevertheless. Could I be lucky and the error is possibly due to an undervoltage of the battery ? I try afterwards the car out read (Icarsoft). Just wanted to ask before asking if someone has had a similar problem or knows in the form.

  • Buy Lpg C70 despite 280 000km?

    Hello guys, I’m new to the topic of Lpg or Volvo and am not sure what to do. Someone offers a Volvo C70 2.0t 163ps from 2001 with 280 000km and Lpg system from Prins. He should have driven a lot with caravan and also many kilometers through the mountains, Switzerland Austria. Now I think that’s not a high load for the engine when he already runs on Lpg then a caravan pulls plus kilometers has to to tow uphill? Because as I learned You should not use an engine converted to Lpg too much because of the higher temperature which is due to it. Can it be that the valve seats have taken damage from it or is that only at full-gas rides and high speeds as it is on the Internet? I am very grateful if you could help me.

  • C70 II: Position light/floor light is not possible. Safety or illuminant?

    Hello together, my Cee “twinks” me permanently for some time when I use e.g. the leaving home function. Sometimes apart from broken veals or similar: can this be due to a fuse or are these the bulbs? Both position and standlight do not go left. See photo. Thank you and many greetings from the hot Frankfurt 😉

  • Purchase V50 1,8 Kinetic

    Good morning, now I have to decide. Drive a S40 2.4 momentum from 03/2004. To continue driving the car I would have to invest a lot. I estimate about 3000€. ( Shock absorber complete, air-conditioning compressor, new door locks passenger side, brakes complete) Three years ago he got a new steering gear and wheel bearing at the VA. What do you think, should I invest again or rather this one: I found this offer at mobile.de: https://suche.mobile.de/ …/details.html?… Volvo V50 Kombi 1.8 Kinetic,Top condition,TÜV New,Shekh First registration: 07/2008 Kilometer: 144.702 km Fuel type: Petrol Price: 4.990 € Thank you for your opinions!!!
