Check out real-world situations relating to the Volvo V50 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.
-
Faulty V50 PVC valve
The first port of call after your mechanic diagnosed the problem should have been to a Volvo dealer to have them inspect and diagnose the problem. That way they could experience the problem first hand and not through your complaints and the mechanic’s report. There are times when you can’t help thinking that Australian customers are being treated very poorly by car companies that don’t follow up on recalls overseas here. On top of that the cost of parts compared to overseas is something that needs to be addressed, possibly by authorities. There’s no doubt in my mind that Australian motorists are being ripped off.
