I have owned my 2008 Volvo C30 - a quirky and interesting car - for the past 7 years. In this video I talk about all the things that I've learned and experienced with this car and also tell you which mods were worth pursuing and which ones you shouldn't bother doing.

Yeah stock brakes suck. Common issue is with confusion around lugnut torque spec so a lot of people over torque and then the rotors warp way faster. 320mm is the way to go.

I'm currently eyeing one of these cars at my local dealer. If I get it, I will just use it as a commuter car. So it riding, "soft," wouldn't be a problem. But the brakes, yeah I will have to address that. Safety is the one thing I don't mess around with when it comes to cars. I hope the aftermarket has some good parts for this car for this and other things.

@BitterCarGuy 3 ай бұрын

I think upgrading the brake lines to steel lines would help a lot with brake feel. Good luck with the purchase.

I have owned the 09 C30 for 3 plus years. I am burning oil and get a big puff of blue smoke when driving at a steady speed and then making a slight acceleration. Anyone else have this issue? I have previously replaced the diaphragm in the oil breather box as preventative maintenance. Thanks

Your turbo might be on its way out - how many miles??

@edbrandt8972 Жыл бұрын

@@BitterCarGuy about 62k miles. Bad maintenance before I bought it. Can the turbo go bad at this mileage?

@edbrandt8972 Жыл бұрын

@@BitterCarGuy When I am due for my next oil change, I am thinking about pulling out the turbo unit and sending it to this company in California who can pressure test it for oil leaks and then rebuild it if needed. I am hoping that is the issue since it is a lot of work to pull the turbo and reinstall it since it is part of the exhaust manifold. Just curious if others have seen this puff of smoke issue after just a small acceleration when the exhaust is good and hot.
