2008 Volvo C30 Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your Volvo's brakes? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Volvo? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your C30 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • Does my C30's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Volvo C30 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Volvo's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can Volvo C30 transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Volvo C30 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your C30 ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.
