[The Thong]

Ok, I've just had an 06 2ltr Diesel V50 SE.

Look out for,

Poor starting from cold or when the engines up to running temperature. It'll start but there's no throttle response and lots of smoke. Most likely throttle body, seems to be a common issue. The throttle body is a sinch to change, it's about half hour job inc tea break.

Clutch, make sure it's ok. They're expensive to replace.

I believe the Euro 4 is pre-DPF but I'd check with Volvo before you buy.

Check the front lower arms are ok, they're another expensive replacement, roughly about £380 at the dealers.

If you go for the Later ones with a DPF, I believe they have to be replaced at 75k and it a big bill too.

I'm getting 50+ MPG on a run with mine plus it being an SE model it's quite nice to drive (I say quite nice, my last car was an S60 and it was Uber comfortable)

Hope this helps.
