Fuel or is this part of the Haldex system?
The complexity of this car is just remarkable.
On a side note would you consider buying a manual V50? One of my coworkers has one and may be returning to his home country. Anything I should look out for?
These cars have a very specific stereo system, is there a good way to have something a bit more modern preferably with Carplay?
Thanks

That's all part of the Haldex AOC system.
I would buy a manual V50; that's the only V50 I would buy . I like the styling. Has the same 6 speed as my C30 prior to the AWD.
No idea on stereos. There is a company that makes a touchscreen setup. https://www.bluepower.se/en/product/...ndroid-71.html -some ppl on C30Crew have used it. I don't listen to stereos enough to care about refining it
I persuaded a friend to buy 2 of them - one for her & one for her teenage daughter, automatics though.
They come in a fairly wide range of options, annoyingly enough, thank you Ford. Some have power seats, some have only driver's power seat, some are heated, some have the blindspot thing, some have leather, some have bi-xenon self-leveling headlamps, different stereo, etc. No rhyme or reason to much of it. Most have sunroofs. I wouldn't buy one without it. They are solid cars, if maintained. How many miles on it? At 100k it needs a chunk of $$$$ thrown at it - all new hoses, timing belt, front engine seals, water pump, idlers, serpentine belts, spark plugs. Struts / shocks, Brakes and brake lines hold up really well.
Got any pics of it? What year is it?
