  • Warranty extension after 5 years

    Hello, I have today from 14 August a warranty extension over a year completed. It took at least three months before I could decide. The 299€ for a year is also not a cardboard handle. If I think about it for 3 years then the fun also cost only 299€. That is already a huge price increase. Now of course the question is: is that worth it. But that will only show up next year.

  • Survey: How well do you sit in your V50/S40/C30?

    Hello, I’d like to hear your opinion about the standard seats. I don’t mean the quality of workmanship, but the convenience especially on long distances. I myself have the leather seats of the Business-Pro series, V50 model year 2012. I’m 1.84 meters tall and weigh 86 kilos, so I have a “normal stature”. I don’t find the driver’s seat (the others I can’t judge) so the hit on long distances. I’ve noticed it again on vacation to Italy (850 km). I get cross pain and also in the right thigh a “drawing”. My seat is, by the way, adjusted according to the general recommendations. I would like to note that I would not order a sliding roof today because it costs me headroom. With me, with the lowest possible sitting position, between upper edge head and roof sky no three centimeters more space. How is this with you (if you have a similar size like me)?

  • Newbie has a few questions

    Hello. Since yesterday I am proud owner of a Volvo V40 (1998, 1,8l, automatic). I have a few questions to the experts : – I am in possession of two normal keys. Can I retrofit a remote radio control? Or did the Volvo normally have a radio ZV on board as standard? – What have the buttons S and W on itself? – My tailgate is not locked when closing. I had the cover down and took a photo of the mechanics. It looks to me as if something has broken down. Besides, it is strange that I can not unlock the lock with the key. It can’t be turned. I once hung two pictures as an attachment. – When I hit full left and right I hear so knarz noises from the front axle? Your tip? I suspect the drive shafts. That was for the first time. I drove 60km with the Volvo so far. I moved the last 18 months a Hyundai XG30 V6. There are already + worlds between. However, I don’t believe the Volvo and its consumptions help.

  • Cooler fan doesn’t start!

    Hello Volvo driver! My V40 2.0A Mj 2003 refuses to have a cool head or cool engine since today. The reason was quickly revealed, the radiator fan doesn’t turn any more. The broken 30A fuse was also found quickly, since no other was at hand I simply put the window lifter in the slot of the radiator fan and the engine sometimes carefully driven. As far as good, but the temperature was reached where the fan should rotate was briefly everything a little darker, a noticeable (small) ruck was to be noted and…..nix! No cooler fan, no really tempered engine and ….. right now also no window lifter anymore because the replacement used fuse for this was of course also meier (likenerical dialect expression for broken) . At least now I know that the cheapest solution of my problem can be excluded – namely a broken fuse – which has done its job and the car saved from a brutal electrical collapse. I typed on the engine of the cooler fan for a good time? I can see the troubleshooting of the bugs of my component!

  • Volvo V40 1.8 Shifting bushings/gear belt change

    Hallöchen, I am proud owner of a Volvo V40 1.8 since today, very relaxed driving, and especially the leather seats, bomb-like in combination with seat heating! Now to my actual question/problem, and indeed the sockets are closed off from the switchbar, which is why the 1., 5. and the backward gear are bad or not at all put in. I found instructions for changing already in the forum, I am only concerned about the spare parts procurement, because the next Volvo dealer is about 50KM, easy ride, away. I have been looking for original equipment on the Internet, but I have not really found anything, and wanted to ask for advice about spare parts of Polar Parts or Skandix whether there are experiences with it, or if you can call me a first outfitter. The second problem would be the upcoming zam belt change which is imminent and has already been covered by 5tkm, but the belt is still not porous and the teeth look good, yet it is due after 120tkm. Would be a tooth belt, WaPu, spanning rolls etc.

  • Castrol Magnatec 5w-40 c3. Right for my Volvo V40??

    Hello dear people, have a problem. Drive my Volvo V40 1.8 bj 2003 with the Castrol Magnatec 5w-40 with the release ACEA A3. Now Castrol has changed the release of the oil from ACEA A3/B4 to ACEA C3. My question: Can I continue to use this oil even if Volvo requires an ACEA A1/A3 engine oil on my engine? According to research, an ACEA C3 oil is suitable for gasoline and diesel engines and has the same characteristics as the ACEA A3 oil. See http://www.auto-motor-oel.de/…/#ACEA-Classen Thank you in advance.

  • lack of performance after short service life

    Tomorrow dear community! For about a month I have had the following problem with my Volvo V 40, 1.8 l, 122 hp, petrol, switch, 265 tkm: When I start the car after a short service life (refuel or similar), the engine runs unround and has no power. After some “15-20” km there is sometimes a short jerk and everything in the lot sometimes even after a long service life. This error does not always occur but it annoys. So first to the friendly (good self-help workshop for 15 years my choice):read out: Error Cylinder 1 Then we looked at the ignition cables and at one time a spark hit the engine through ______All changed !! Problem continued! Then the ignition coils were switched further available! Then we sent in the engine control unit and had it checked:Everything in order!!!!? Problem continued! Tip from the people who have examined the control unit: Injection nozzles!!! Injection nozzles continued to change problem! Ratlose on the whole line has been a pity for me?

  • Timing belts, water pump, etc. – original or replica parts?

    Hello, I’m just a bit overwhelmed where I should buy which spare parts. Would like to change the days timing belts, water pump, head gasket, shaft seal etc. Price differences are already extreme, e.g. water pump original. Volvo 117,- (for Scandix) or house brand by 50,- or complete kit (dental belts, tensioning roller etc.) from Continental 127,- Which parts should you take original from Volvo which are sufficient in replica? Actually, I’m more for original, what can the Scandix home brands parts do? Would I be very pleased about info/tips. Thank you in advance.

  • Connect FB Central Locking

    Hello, with the hope that can help me jmd. of you, I have now joined me here in the forum round. So everyone a nice good Aben A good 6 weeks ago I did a V70/1 and am also very happy with the moose. Nerve does me however the FB of the ZV. If I have to stand directly in front of the driver’s door to open my car the goal is somehow missed. Now there are all kinds of accessory remote controls that are clamped up on the existing ZV and promise a higher wide range. And just such a product I have bought. A connection plan is only available that I know which cable colors from the new module to which of the existing ZV have to be assigned. Unfortunately I have not received any installation location or similar information. So now the question, has jmd. already a similar product retrofitted and can tell me where I come to the cable positions reasonably well? Perhaps you also have an idea where I can “hip” the little box? Hope it is someone among you who can help me, thanks already.
