Hello Forumler! I have one of the last V40 first registration March 2004. I have now found that all four doors and the tailgate at the lower edges are starting to bloom. Also the right threshold in front of the rear wheelbox has a bubble. This could come from a rockfall. Volvo refuses to accept a cost because I was not at a loss every 12 months. However, in the warranty conditions the maintenance of all 12 months is only recommended, the compliance with the approximate mileage is required. I have kept to that. In the own rusting guarantee no maintenance is required at all. Now to my question to all V40 owners of the registration years 2003/2004! Who has found rust on his vehicle? Please report to me! I believe Volvo has lubricated the vehicles because of the sales prices. How do you see this. How are your experiences with Volvo in terms of rust?
