    Liked the look of the Volvo V50 SE 2.0 D but did not expect the following
    Not had a problem with the clutch yet but it has been back for a faulty drivers seatbelt; faulty steering wheel (leather trim came away; handbrake fabric became detached; airconditioning intermitently blows extremely hot!- not related to the next fault; air conditioning failed because of leak in exchanger (took three attempts to fix as part had to come from sweeden; warranty recall because of fan control unit and gear knob seems to vibrate at idle in traffic. Strangely two external bumps have appeared on the bonnet associated with some rivets on the inside of the bonnet to the right of the catch. Glad its a company car and that I did not spend £22,000+ of my own money on it.

    that's the third Volvo V50 SE 2.0 D clutch gone... happened this morning on the way to work... seems like we need a new clutch and flywheel every 20,000 mls or so... the volvo dealer in Inverness acknowledged there are problems with leaking servos and warping flywheels...
    I am so disappointed, I wanted so much to love this car...

    The power and handling of the Volvo V50 SE 2.0 D when new best car we have ever owned until -
    computer gave various intermittent problems in early months, loss of power being the main problem. Then the clutch went, it was repalced under warranty, the next clutch went 3 months later and now that replacement seems to be slipping.......
    The mechanic seemed to think it is our driving style and not a fault with the clutch, we have several cars and have been driving for more than 20 yrs and never had ...

    The Volvo V50 SE 2.0 was brought in 2005 after only 21,500 miles it needed a new clutch and flywheel which was covered by the warranty. At
    57082 miles the electrics failed and electric unit No31254903 was installed at a cost of £452 which I paid as the car was out of warranty. At 62,500 miles the clutch has had to be replaced once again and a new flywheel was also needed. This has cost me just under £1000 at a local garage as I couldn't afford the Volvo garage who wanted nearly & ...

    Since owning this car, I've had nothing but trouble. The dealer support has been poor and Volvo don't seem to be interested. This is my first and last Volvo.

    This is my third Volvo. My wife has the S40 I had the V40 and previously 740 - all well above par. As I said if they made an automatic 20D that would mean 10/10. It has a feeling of luxury expected (but not nowadays found) in Mercedes at a lot less than Merc prices. the floating console is unique the space is fabulous. I drove in France and covered 1400 miles no complaints at all. But I have had it three months (my wife's S40 same car different shape) is 14 months old and equally great. i would ...
