Car Displayed: 2008 Volvo C30 T5 2.5L 5 Cyl. Turbo

The 2008 Volvo C30 T5 is a tougher car to repair than most other similar models. Accessing the cabin air filter is incredibly complicated, requiring the removal of fasteners, a lining, and a panel. It’s important to change your air filter regularly, so it is a pain to have such a difficult to access filter. The fog light is tough to access, as you have to remove many bolts and a panel. This is tougher than it is on other models. In order to drain the coolant, you’ll have to remove a panel beneath the vehicle for access, which can be tough.

There are some easier repairs on the 2008 Volvo C30 T5. The tail light assembly is easily accessible behind a simple to remove cover. Other models require you to remove the entire housing, making this repair easier in comparison. The components of the spare tire are also kept well protected from the elements in the trunk. Accessing the battery is easy, as you only have to remove one cover in the engine bay.
