The v40 was indeed more simple and therefore more trusty.
I had these car for 5 years and drive it from 125k KM to 250k KM without big problems. It was chipped to 130hp and i always drive more sporty.
Things i need to replace in this time :
- clutch + flywheel
- drive shaft
- small things
Now i have a 2008 v50 bougt on 145k KM.
The firsts things i need to do to make it a good car was kickout the entire dpf system. It was just so a piece off **** and always with problems on diffent parts.
Now thats done its a verry nice car to drive. Its also chipped and the power is very nice.
Other parts i need to recplace :
- alternator
- exaust pipe (rust)
- cardan rubber hose
- 1 of the 2 horns (yes it can be broken ..)
The biggest disapointment was the basic stereo.
I needed to replace al the speakers, add extra amplifier and now i'm happy. But it was realy a shame wat the put in there...

In spite of all potential issues mainly DPF related, thinking about removing it altogether.
how the ride so far ? Any downsides or any hiccups to date ?
