V50 (2005) Radio/climate Display Problems...
Hi, I own a Volvo V50 with the High-Performance Radio and Auto-Climate control system. Since owning the car, bought second-hand from a dealer last year, I have noticed a periodic fault that causes the Radio/Climate system to shut-down completely after engine start. It seems to coincide during the following;
1. Engine ignition start 2. Engine revs at 2000 revs for about 10-seconds 3. Engine revs drop to just below 1000 revs 4. Car put into gear and pull away...display shuts down (intermittantly - 1 in 10 attemps) To clear, the ignition has to be turned off and I msut wait for all electrical system to shut down - usually after 20-30 secs from engine shutdown. Restart and all is okay until the next occurance. If I try to pull away while revs are in the 2000 range this can also occur, or is more likely to happen? Has anyone had any experience of this. Sound like either an electrical or firmware issue to me but thought I'd test the water first before trying to get ripped off...sorry, I meant fixed! My main concern is that when this happens it disables the audible warning emitted by the reverse parking sensor. I've begun to rely on this far too often of late and nearly hit a car this morning while parking at work because of this issue! Sorry, forgot to mention that this is a 2.4i Auto model.

Strictly speaking, if it IS a software issue then surely this should be updated for free as it would indicate a manufacturing defect? Thanks. |

mine wasnt done as a recall ,my radio was plying up at the time of my starting problems,all they said to me was that they had updated the software for the radio the same time they done the main ecu and it cured the problem .
so i think you have to go back to the maindealer and get them to check your vehicle to see if an update is available for your system !!! |
