Volvo V50 parts reviews

got powerdiscs on my v50 and they seem great.

OEM rubber floor mats are quite nice for soppy boots etc

I drove my 2012 V50 from late 2021~165 000km to present day 300 000km with skf discs and pads with no problem. Ordered a new set from Aeromotors (EU, EST) ~70€.

I replaced my previous rotors with Zimmerman ones and they also had this notch so don’t worry about it as it’s normal.

My Volvo V50 with a 2.4L inline 5 takes almost 6L of oil.. surprising for a 2.4L. Surprised me at my first oil change.

I put brembo pads and discs last time and I got about 4 years out of them before gave up (I'm pretty hard on them).

I live in southern Ontario in Canada and after one winter of driving around mainly in the city I decided that they weren\u2019t enough especially when going up any sort of incline with snow on the ground. I recently got a set of Michelin Ice-X tires and it makes a world of a difference. In the end if there\u2019s anything more than a light dusting on the ground dedicated winters is the way to go. Also for context I drive a FWD Volvo V50. All in all they are great but as someone else said. Jack of all trades, master of none.

I bought Bosch aerotwins a year ago. They were great for a while and then started jittering. I really don't like the jittering sound

Most common failure on my V50 is the voltage regulator.

I forced him to take it to my current indy Volvo garage and they gave him a huge lost of everything wrong with it, including a timing belt and fan belt. It had the distinctive whisp/chirp of worn belts.
