First Volvo!!
Hello.
Last week I picked a 54 plate V50 2.0 diesel that needs some TLC. it has 165000K on the clock. my 1st Volvo and I am really impressed, my 1st Diesel car too, needs a front wishbone bush, discs and pads all round, and a rear Hum (local friendly mechanic did that for me) my dislikes..... The stereo, CD changer refuses to read CD's.... and from what I have read I will have to spend at least £250 for a bluetooth/usb upgrade. I don't know if it's a Diesel thing but it feels very lumpy on startup, always strs 1st time and goes well enough, economy is about 36-38 mpg around town, as I also have a company car any jobs can wait till after Xmas when funds allow, I'll get to cleaning out the EGR and Throttle body as I have read these jobs are a must.

Hi, your first Volvo? So what took you so long?
Funnily enough, I've been out of Volvo ownership for about ten years but have also just bought a 2.0D V50. My excuse is that I've just got myself a labrador and he refuses to be driven in anything other than a Volvo estate! |
