Questions about C30
Having recently bought myself a C30 2.0 petrol R-Design, I have a few questions that I haven't been able to get a definitive answer for.
Do these suffer from the dreaded swirl flaps problem? All I can find online seems to be related to the Ford Duratec engines, not sure if Volvo badged engines had anything changed in them to mitigate this issue. Mine is currently approaching 118k and there is a rattle at idle which is making me uneasy. Lastly, anyone in the Hampshire area that can perform scans? I just have a basic ODB2 scanner that doesn't pick up any codes,but the throttle response at times feels a bit "notchy" (almost like it's working in steps) and as if the engine is building boost but then nothing really happens - again, this doesn't happen all the time. Thanks in advance, |

An update on this subject: took it to a Volvo independent mechanic, issue was traced to be the solenoid that actuates the swirl flaps. Replaced it and now it pulls beautifully.
