r/VolvoV50

Hi. I have a Volvo V50 T5 2006 (pre-facelift) with ECC climate control.

Symptoms:

No heat in cabin at all
Both heater core hoses through firewall are hot
No coolant loss, no glycol smell, no foggy windows, no wet carpets
When I set climate to HOT/HI, airflow becomes very weak like blower drops to 20–30%
When set to cold/LO, blower can blow very strong normally
I can hear small noises/movement behind the floating center stack when changing temp
AC compressor/clutch also cycles on/off every few seconds sometimes

I scanned CCM and got:

CCM-0004 Passenger compartment temperature sensor signal too high/missing
CCM-0040 Air quality sensor

From what I understand, on pre-facelift V50 the cabin temp sensor/aspirator fan is behind the floating panel and connected to CCM.

Does this sound more like:

failed cabin temp sensor / aspirator fan,
stuck temperature damper motor,
CCM issue,
or something else?

Any common fixes or exact part numbers for pre-facelift 2006 V50 appreciated.

Hello everyone!

I'm just curious, how often your car does DPF regeneration?

Mine is 2010 1.6d, around 339k kilometers on the clock. 60-65k kilometers ago (5 years) DPF was cleaned and now, if I'm not driving it on a highway, every 130-150km it does regeneration. No check engine light, nor any other faults, normal fuel consumption, no oil consumption, but it feels like it's too often. Mainly because only 5% of my driving is in the city, 50-60% are ~25 minutes driving 50-70kph, and the rest is on the highway.

Hi I

I'm looking to buy my first V50 probably a 2.0D

Will be a budget of about 1k-1200.

What common issues should I be wary of

Thanks in advance 😃

Hello!

My D5 08 has an issue with the drivers side tail lamp. Both the bulb and LED strip on the top board aren’t working, and doesn’t seem to be working with a replacement lamp either (diff board and bulb entirely).

Is there any relays that are unique to the drivers side, or is there anything else I need to check?

Any help appreciated :)

This is a long shot into the dark...

I recently picked up myself a 3D printer and want to try / mess around with printing some car parts and would love to print a spoiler for my volvo v50.

Problem is I dont know anyone who owns one to take measurements nor can I find any measurements online so if you have the spoiler and would like to assist me please let me know below or in my DMS

Can anyone suggest a code reader that will work on my volvo v50, that can read and wipe codes but doesn't breake the bank when buying.

I bought one from amazon for around £15 but it doesn't read the codes from my car.

Hi all, I hope you can help.

A few weeks ago my Volvo V50 2.0D started juddering at 2600rpm and has very little acceleration beyond 2k. There was oil coming from the union between the intercooler boost pipe and the air intake. I changed the pipe for a (very cheap) rubber one today and nothing has changed.

Any suggestions of what to do next are welcome. As a start point I’m going to change the jubilee clips on the new hose thinking it might be a sealing issue.

Thanks in advance

Hey guys looking for some advice from fellow v50 owners. I have an 07 2.4L non turbo v50. The accessory belt snapped while I was driving and I’m assuming got sucked into the cam and skipped timing.

The tow tried to crank on a boost thinking it was just the battery died since the alternator belt snapped.

I replaced the pulley and both ac and alternator belt. Tried to start it and no crank. Put my scanner in and got a cam sensor code. After talking to a local mechanic he mentioned that the timing skipping after the belt snaps is common.

Anyways I’m looking for some solutions. Should I just reset timing and see if it runs? I’ve changed a timing belt before but never reset timing on something that has skipped a tooth. Are there any tips I should be aware of?

I’m assuming I’ll probably have some bent valves. Would doing the valve job make more sense or should I just find a used head and just swap?

Thanks for the help!
