What happens if I run my diesel empty?
When a diesel engine draws in air instead of fuel, both the fuel pump and fuel injectors can become damaged. As well as this, when you run out of fuel in a diesel engine you might need to bleed the system to get rid of the air before you can top it up again with diesel, which is a job for a specialist.

What should I look for in a Volvo V50?
If you only ever do short runs, look for a petrol model rather than a diesel due to the risk of a blocked diesel particulate filter (DPF). Not all diesel V50s had a DPF, mind, and working out whether your car has one or not can be a bit of a minefield.
How often do you need to change the eolys fluid in a Volvo V50?
Note too that the 1.6 and some 2.0 litre diesels require new Eolys fluid every 37,000 miles or so to allow the DPF to operate at lower temperatures. This is usually topped up as part of the car’s service regimen, though. It may also require a new DPF at about 75,000 miles or six years, which can be an expensive job to do.
Why does a Volvo V50 not have a DPF?
If the eighth character is a ‘3’, then it denotes an early Euro 3 model which won’t have a DPF. If it has a ‘4’, then it may have one. As a general rule, car companies didn’t have to fit a DPF to meet Euro 4 standards because particulate emission requirements were more lenient, so it shouldn’t necessarily have one.
How often do you need to change the filter on a Volvo V50?
V50s with an automatic gearbox require a fluid and filter change every 40,000 miles, while sunroof drains can get clogged with dirt and leaves, which can result in wet interior carpets.
