Verified Vehicle Compatibility Guide
Compatibility is primarily determined by the RHD bonnet-release system and part number, not simply engine size. The table below shows the P1-family applications cross-referenced for part number 30745005. VIN confirmation is recommended, especially on early chassis cars.
| Vehicle | Body Style | Years | Drive | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Volvo V50 / 545 | 5-door estate | 2004-2012 | RHD | YES — 30745005 |
| Volvo S40 II / 544 | 4-door saloon | 2004-2012 | RHD | YES — 30745005 |
| Volvo C30 / 533 | 3-door hatchback | 2006-2013 | RHD | YES — match 30745005 / VIN |
| Volvo C70 II / 542 | 2-door coupe-convertible | 2006-2013 | RHD | YES — 30745005 |
Volvo catalogue information includes an early-production routing/clip instruction for this cable. For the V50, the catalogue references vehicles up to chassis 105831. Early S40 applications also carry a chassis-related clip/routing note. This makes VIN and original-part comparison particularly important on early cars.
Vehicles / Configurations This Listing Is NOT For
| Vehicle / Configuration | Compatibility | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Any LHD V50 / S40 II / C30 / C70 II | NO | This listing is RHD 30745005. The catalogue uses a different cable reference for LHD applications. |
| Volvo S40 / V40 first generation | NO | Earlier platform and different bonnet-release arrangement. |
| Volvo C70 first generation | NO | Different generation and release system. |
| Volvo V40 hatchback introduced from 2012 | NO | Different vehicle platform. |
| S60 / V70 / XC70 / XC90 / later Volvo ranges | DO NOT ASSUME FITMENT | Different bonnet-release part numbers are used on other Volvo platforms. Verify independently before purchase. |
The fastest way to avoid a wrong order is to check:
- Your car is RHD.
- Your vehicle falls within the compatible model/generation above.
- Your existing part/cable matches 30745005.
- The red handle, metal mounting bracket, pivot and cable end match the listing photographs.
- If anything differs, message us through eBay with your VIN and original-part photo before ordering.
Correct Vehicle Body-Style Reference
The listing application includes the Volvo V50 5-door estate. The reference vehicle photographs below show a 2008 V50 estate and are included to help prevent confusion with similarly named Volvo models. They are illustrative vehicle references and are not photographs of the donor car.
Where This Part Is Fitted
Lower right-hand driver's fascia / footwell / kick-panel area
↓ Cable then routes forward through the vehicle to the bonnet latch system
Pulling the cabin handle tensions the cable and releases the bonnet's primary locking mechanism. Once released, the driver moves to the front of the vehicle and operates the secondary safety catch before lifting the bonnet.
A failed cable or handle can prevent access to the engine bay for battery work, fluid checks, servicing and repairs. A stiff bonnet latch can also overload the handle/cable, so the latch itself should be checked before fitting a replacement.
Common Symptoms of a Faulty Bonnet Release
- Interior bonnet handle feels unusually loose or floppy.
- Handle moves but the bonnet does not pop up.
- Release requires excessive pulling force.
- Handle or cable does not return smoothly after being pulled.
- Intermittent bonnet release — works only after several pulls.
- Visible fraying, stretching, cracking or damage to the cable/sheath.
- Broken or cracked red release handle.
- Loose, distorted or damaged mounting bracket/pivot.
- A stiff or corroded bonnet latch repeatedly places excessive load on the cable.
Why Match the Original Manufacturer-Spec Part
A correctly matched original-design used component retains the mounting geometry, lever travel, cable-end shape and installation position intended for the vehicle. That is particularly useful on mechanical controls such as a bonnet release, where incorrect cable length or bracket geometry can cause excessive free play, poor release travel or difficult installation.
Used vehicle parts can also provide a substantial cost saving compared with purchasing new dealer-supplied components, while keeping a usable original-specification component in service for longer. The exact saving varies according to the current new-part price and availability, so no fixed percentage saving is guaranteed.
