Hello guys and thank you all for your replies.
I think that clutch is ok since it starts perfectly on hills and its traction is good in normal speeds. It has problems trying to speed up. Anyway, I will ask my service guy to check it...somehow. But, before that, I will check out filters and egr as @AndyV7o suggested, even that fuel filter was change about 1000-1500km ago.
@wilbydoughboy thank you for your suggestion. I will check out that thread and see if will help me.
@domhart10 , will check out the MAF too.
I have tested with a simple OBD2 while running the car and this ore some results. If anyone can "read" them, hope that may "say" something.

What I observed is that when the car was running with 120kmh the throttle possition tends to get low, as in the last image. I don't know of it is normal. Also, I have to mention that all screenshoots are when the car was running at its limits (110kmh - 120kmh).
Also, I have observed a small fluctuation on rpm while 100+kmh and fixed acceleration pedal.

Thank you!

I have just made a drive of a couple of km now and connected the obd2 where i saw a fault code as follow:
Code:
P2080
Raw code: 2080
ECU: 10
Status: Pending fault present, Pending fault present during this driving cycle, Test conditions are met, Test is inhibited by other DTC, Test has not been completed, Validated and stored in non volatile memory, Validated fault present at time of request, Validated fault has been present during this drive cycle
OBDII: Exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensor 1, bank 1 - range/performance problem
May this one be a reason of my problems?
Thank you!

Getting back to this thread since i found the issue and resolved it.
After we tried everything possible, our last chance was to check out the ECU software. We saw that it had the last update but, anyway, we decided to reapply that update again...and...voila...an error appeared: flowmeter error.
Decied to change it with a brand new one for testing, because we tried this 2-3 times before and no success. After a short ride, got back to the service and connected again to VIDA where the flowmeter error was there again. After a short thinking, one of the guys from the service thought that this type of error may come also from an air sensor on the radiator, left side. To get it out they had to put down the whole front of the car. After they changed that small sensor I got out on a small drive where ... voila again ... the car runs perfectly without any stress up to 238kmh . What a joy.
Anyway, I got back to the service to put my old flowmeter back and see if anything changes. Nothing changes. The car runs perfectly with that old flowmeter too, and no error are shown now.

I want to thank everyone that tried to help me and hope that my small experience with this V50 will be helpful for anyone else that may be facing the same problems.
