    The C30 does actually have a gas cap holder btw. Its at the bottom of the fuel door in the middle, the little fin sticking out. I have a V50 myself so I know. The chassis is called the P1, shared with the Volvo V50, S40, C70, C30 and same generation ford focus and mazda 3, and all sport variants of those as well. Very capable and cool platform and car.

    The first thing I noticed was that your shifter blind was also broken... because mine is broken too and I've been putting off fixing it because dashes suck.
    Edit when you mention it not going into manual mode: That's because the shifter blind is broken. The little plastic piece that blocks the shifter lever hole has lil magnets in it that control the manual shifting of the auto transmission. The part is only $10 from your friends and my neighbors FCP euro so GO GET THAT PART AND SHOW ME HOW TO DO IT!!

I just subscribed to your channel today, but I'll spend the next couple of days compiling a short list of hopefully helpful tips. Tip #1; don't replace your gas cap with an OEM unit. They're about thirty bucks new, but you can source an exact replacement for HALF that. These are the type things I've learned since April. Good luck with the C30.

      @@zaclarkby6389 probably not. If same tier of audio and sounds worse I suspect probably an EQ setting that’s hidden in the menu.
      S40, V50, C70 and C30 all share almost all same hardware, C70 probably having less shared than the rest but still same platform. Audio systems between all 4 should all be the same apart from the optioned tier. 3 main tiers. Performance, high performance, Premium. With premium option being only one with physically unique hardware such as amplifier hidden usually under passenger seat, MOST security system on the audio network (is just annoying), higher wattage speakers and sometimes more speakers...sometimes a subwoofer (tho not always weirdly), center speaker (seems to be optional as well).
      The normal Performance and High performance sound system is mostly if not completely just a software change. I have using vdash reflashed my friend’s C30 with base audio package (performance) to high performance and it made a noticeable difference but still not massive, seems like maybe volvo just tweaked some EQ stuff that we can’t touch maybe preprocessing stuff.

    Used to live right there on the other side of the FM road from there. You could hear the race from outside in the yard. Walk in the house and it was gone. Race weekend made getting in and out of my neighborhood a serious pain, but not that bad. The cool part was you could see them transport all the cars for the "driving experiences" from the garage down the road. They just drove them. Odd to pass a race car on a FM road. Also, you missed out on the Beaver Nuggets goodness.

Also you said something about “milkshake” in the early part of the video. These 5 cylinders, if you don’t drive them far or often, get condensation buildup, especially on the dipstick, with the 850s anyway, same engine technically, unless you give it a good half hour highway drive.

    The high performance sound system was not standard but a factory fit mid range option. When I had it fitted to my C30 back in 2008 it cost me an additional £300. A graphic equaliser for front and rear speakers. The premium system was a Dynaudio system costing £1,150 . I bet that was something, although it's hard to tell how it could improve on the high performance system.

    Have been to that Buc-ee's many times in north Fort Worth (I lived on the south side of town, near Crowley/Burleson). I loved stocking up on jerky and other goodies to snack on. One of the few things I miss after moving to NW Arkansas. I bet that was an easy trip for you though, just down and back up I-35.

    Would love to see the Camaro in the background at 11:59 as a project car.

    ive got a 2.4 NA c30 and i like it apart from it being an auto and it not being all that fast. check the PCV valve. the sterio is pretty good in the C30 and the fuel economy is solid as well

    You have access to things many of us don't. I still can't get anybody to attempt a head gasket on my 84 Nissan pickup, They say it doesn't line up after a turn! I say that is fine, once the chain and gears are right. I have done it 3 times myself, no problem.

    Drove past Texas Motor Speedway the other day, a few miles down the road and I'm 90% sure I saw that same C8 driving down I35, first C8 I've seen in person, kinda wish I wasn't on the other side of the road so I could get a better look.

  • @805NAVE
    @805NAVE 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Much more interested in the C30 than the C8 at the end hahaha

    I think the anti-roll bar (sway bar) links are a common problem on them , could be your rear end knocking noise?

    17:10 maybe that button's meant to adjust the levels for an integrated speakerphone?

  • @kens97sto171
    @kens97sto171 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I wonder if the button for speaker is to help if you listening to an audiobook or a phone conversation.. so voice sounds.

    Love these things, I'm on my 2nd now. You need to get the VIDA software upgrade, it'll give you MPG and range tank range, these are fantastic little cars!

    I have always adored these, so sad they aren't made anymore!

  • @TheHienax
    @TheHienax 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    sad that the c30 is not manual...
    also, the service message can be reset
    search in youtube there are many videos how to do it...
    Good to see a Volvo back!!!

    Finally a TH-camr I like and watch doing a c30, and in the year 2020. I have a 2011 Volvo C30 t5. I just got the exhaust done and I want to do some more stuff, I just don’t want to make it some eBay ricer😂

    Speaking about sound systems, my 2006 Lexus ES330 has the mark levinson premium audio system and it is so so so freaking good it sounds amazing and I only paid $5k for the car and I now have 237,000 miles on it. My 2008 Lexus LS460 has the same mark levinson reference surround sound and it is hands down the best system I’ve ever heard, better than my friends G63 AMG and M4

    The back seats can slide to the back, so you have more passenger space.

    I know exactly what you mean with the stereo. I have the xc60 and the stereo rocks! It definately sounds like it has a sub but not sure if it really does.

    During that song in the Volvo I kinda expected you to start working on a helicopter or crop duster of some other plane that none of us will ever build in our garage. That’s why I love your cheapest car videos they are realistic of stuff we can buy and work on

    @Very_Angry_Citizen 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I really dig the early 2000's to 2008ish Volvos. The only thing I don't like about the C30 is the tail lights.

  • @Rickie-Goldsworth

    On the shifter it probably needs the arms rebuilt it’s a common issue on the P2’s and it looks like the same shifter.

  • @stevesgarage6012
    @stevesgarage6012 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Sorry, I think I got you beat on lowest priced C30. Purchased a 2009 R-design, 107k, clean title for $1300 from Copart, needed a short block, now finished and running great. All in for $2400. Probably should’ve filmed this one for my channel.
