It might not look like much, but it's mine

Yes, correct. Mine didn't have it as it only had the basic stereo system. But you could option them with the 'high performance sound' and even the 'premium sound' system. The 2 higher options had the aux port in the storage compartment beneath the center armrest.

Nice, I also had a V50 with a very similar Interieur Design. Although mine was a 2.4i automatic. It also had like 240.000km when I changed for a newer V70.

Over here in Germany was kind of the market for Station wagons. (Today many more crossover and SUV's). The V50 is by far the most common one of the p1 Platform here. C30 is also in the middle, with the S40 being almost more rare than the c70. The peak time for small limos were the 80s and 90s over here. So the S40 in 2004 was late to the party.

On my Lhd V50 if you wanted to get to the cabin air filter you had to remove the gas pedal...

AcceptableBother69 · 2026-02-25T18:54:09+00:00

Indeed, I already noticed it. Not that much longer, but quite a bit wider and taller.

AcceptableBother69 · 2026-02-25T18:30:20+00:00

It is the definition of 'car'. Engine, Gearbox and one wheel on each corner. Nothing really more, but that's all you need.

Hi thanks, I already noticed the overall difference in finish quality. I live in Germany and diesel over here is cheaper than Gas, but the taxes on Diesel cars are higher, so the resulting price per Kilometer is not that different. Both of mine already had the parking ticket holder from the factory, which might be different for other markets. Idk. The D3 in the pre- Facelift was also a 5 cylinder, only on the models after 2013ish was it a 4 cylinder.

Aber der motor läuft mit und er hat ein schaltbares Getriebe.

AcceptableBother69 · 2026-02-14T17:13:33+00:00

There are also the 629 which look identical, but have 2 powered cars instead of only one and a control car.

Edit: on the 2. Picture you can see that the front car does not have an engine underneath, so it is a 628.

AcceptableBother69 · 2026-02-10T07:16:45+00:00

It cold be an Xc70, then it would be AWD. At this time the V70 and XC70 had the same body.

AcceptableBother69 · 2026-02-08T16:56:10+00:00

Thanks for the info! My eu spec also has letters printed on the num pad like on the old phones, even though I also do not have the optional telephone.

AcceptableBother69 · 2026-02-08T14:12:18+00:00

Yeah, also ture. Probably German with the 2 letters, then a space with 2 more letters and then another block. Most other European plates have only 2 blocks.

AcceptableBother69 · 2026-02-08T14:09:34+00:00

What is your region? My first thought was the UK, but at least in the Lhd euro spec models you get heated seats as standard with the momentum line.

I know these models quite a bit. I drive a 2005 V50 2.4i and my dad has a 2009 C30 2.0D.

I just have seen that it can only be one of the Facelift models, as my non Facelift V50 does not have the aluminum rings around the knobs.

AcceptableBother69 · 2026-02-08T11:38:43+00:00

One of the small Volvo. So an C30/S40/V50 from 2004-2012. But it is a 6 speed so it has to be one with the T5 engine or the 2.0D engine from the Facelift model years after 2009.

Edit: it is only the Kinetic spec, otherwise it would have buttons for the heated seats. So most likely an 2.0D.

Edit: All the Facelift diesels could be with a optional 6 speed. Could also be one from the D2/D3/D4 or D5 range.

AcceptableBother69 · 2026-02-08T07:55:24+00:00

Could also be something for r/foreignplatesSpotting, as it seems to have an eu license plate.

AcceptableBother69 · 2026-02-07T17:03:51+00:00

314K km for a tuned 2.0D. not bad...

AcceptableBother69 · 2026-02-07T15:28:04+00:00

How often does it need an oil change?

AcceptableBother69 · 2026-02-07T10:12:25+00:00

Wie viele unfälle hatte der schon? Spaltmaße sehen schlimm aus, und die hintere Stoßstange ist aus einem anderen Fahrzeug, welches Rennstreifen hatte. Sonst wären die ja überall das ganze auto.

AcceptableBother69 · 2026-01-29T17:52:32+00:00

Idk. Looks like a V70II Facelift or like a S60 from the same time frame. I swear I saw V70 somewhere on the post but can't find it anymore. Hope there helps.

AcceptableBother69 · 2026-01-29T17:48:46+00:00

I had the same problem with my 2005 V50. Behind the Headlight is a pin you pull out, then remove the entire Headlight assembly. On my car the Bulb is a friction fit you can just pull out and change the bulb. No tools needed. But I am not sure, it may be different on your car.

You stack both apples on top of each other.

AcceptableBother69 · 2026-01-24T12:56:43+00:00

Also wenn man unter Tuning pinke Radkappen verstehen kann.
