V50 2.0 Diesel

Discussion in 'Volvo V50' started by Eric vd Weerd, Nov 26, 2004.

  1. Hallo,

    ik heb een nieuwe v50 diesel, geweldige auto, alleen nu is bij 10000 km al
    mijn EGR klep kapot.
    De auto is gerepareerd, en Volvo werkt aan een oplossing.
    De verwachting is dat meerdere V50's dit zelfde probleem zullen gaan hebben
    omdat deze motor uit de Ford Mondeo komt, maar de Ford wat lichter is dan de
    V50, waardoor eerder roetafzetting op de klep kan ontstaan.

    Volvo zegt te werken aan een alternatief.

  2. Please translate this to English Eric, unfortunately not many of us can
    speak Dutch. I am sure that it is an interesting point to make. George
    Holmer on the VOC forums is a translator and speaks several European
    languages.

    All the best, Peter.

    Sorry , here is the translated version of my previous posting;

    I bought a new V50 diesel, which is a great car, however, at 10.000 km I
    have my EGR valve broken already!
    The expectation is, that more V50 diesel are going to have the exact same
    problem.
    The Engine from the V50 diesel is the one from the new Ford Modeo, which is
    a lighter car than the V50.
    Because of this difference in weight, the EGR valve may not be proper for
    the volvo V50.

    My car has been repaired (with a new, but same EGR valve as it had).
    Volvo has the EGR in backorder, expecting more people to return their cars
    to resolve this problem.

    Cheers,

    Eric

  4. Thankyou very much for the translation Eric. I can now let my South Wales
    members know of this problem. I will also check with my local dealer to
    ensure he is aware of the problem.

    Cheers, Peter.

    Dit is niet dezelfde motor als uit de Mondeo, maar als uit de C-Max.
