Hi all
My partner has just bought a 2009 V50 eDrive and loves it. However it seems very sluggish in second gear, and seems a worse than what I recall when I drove it home (appreciate there was one person less in the car). Is this normal or is there something wrong? Thanks in advance. |

the only time mine is sluggish are when the rpm is too low and the aircon is on , apart from remembering to keep in the rpm range it has plenty of power not great but enough , it may just need some additive redex will do , asda do deals on it every so often , short trips dont help also a oil and filter change never hurts inc fuel filter

I have an S40 1.6 drive ... I had a similar low power issue very sluggish, 92k one owner when I bought it earlier this year.
The car is now outstanding.... I did two things.. one I had it removed which gives it about 30bhp more and second I had the DPF flushed and cleaned. My combined MPG was 50mpg before.. so far this tank is at 68.6mpg.... pulls from 1200rpm smoothly in 5th... Very different car...
