  • Speedometer exchange from Ph1 to Ph2

    Moin together! Maybe someone can answer this question to me… I have a 2001 V40 T4, this one has the old phase 1 speedometer in it. Now I got a cheap information switch with the corresponding phase2 speedometer over the grid. Is it possible to wire the Ph2 speedometer in my car? Of course the plugs would have to be taken over by the Ph2 speedometer, but they were there. I don’t get quite smart from the circuit diagrams, so I ask here if someone has done this already or not.

  • Volvo V40 1.6 Klappert very loud

    Good evening, I’ve had a V40 1.6 EZ 06/2000 for about a week. The oil in this one was bad black, but has already been changed. Both the brake calipers were attached to the handbrake at the rear, but they have already been fixed. One problem remains: It nails like a diesel, both hot and cold, when starting extremely loud, but falls off after a short time and gets a little quieter, but stays constantly loud and good to hear. I have not found a video of my own yet, but I found one on Youtube where it sounds the same way:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_Ohl7LMk6Y Does anyone know what that is and what you can do about it?

  • V40 2.0T moves to the left after driving on the motorway

    Servus people, after I drove my V40 now almost 10tkm (now about 220tkm) something happened. We drove yesterday with a fully loaded car to Prague. The whole track due to traffic is quite smooth (180-200 kmh) but without any problems, almost like on rails. On the return drive the car has become very restless in a long right curve, has somehow swollen and since then pulls very strongly to the left (depending on the road tilt times more times less). We drove then immediately on the side strip and looked at the tires/wheels which were completely in order but at all other speeds were. At the last 100km we drove then with 90 behind a truck and finally also came home. Mistakes: 1. The car drives very swamy 2. The steering pulls strongly to the left 3. at 90 kmh the steering wheel jerks, but at all other speeds it is still quiet 4. The car swings fast – the steering has not tested both – There is nothing visible at the drive train to the left 3rd at 90 kmh the steering wheel can’s swings, but at all the other speeds I did not have a bit to change.

  • Purchase advice

    Hello everyone. I’ve got another Volvo V40 to buy. I have a 2.0l Turbo to buy, but I don’t know it so well. My current one is a 2.0l with 136ps. What should I pay attention to with the Turbo engine with 160ps? Thank you very much.

  • Volvo V40 Infotainment Complete failure

    Hello dear community, maybe you can help here more than with the Volvo dealer: The radio, parking aid and the display of the infotainment system have failed. The display is black, nothing works anymore. What still works are the other controls of the center console for ventilation etc. The reading of the friendly one has ejected the following error codes: CEM-B1C8414 (short circuit rear window) CEM-U015600 DIM-U015600 CCM-U015600 Is there a best-known problem of the V40 with the CEM, how can a free workshop help me with the troubleshooting here or can I go to the search myself? Thank you for input!

  • V40 MJ18 Wind noise highway – bonding windshield ?

    Hello to the forum, at our V40 wind noises occur from approx. 160 km/h in the middle of the lower edge of the windshield. Many years ago I had this from the noise similar to a BMW and at that time it was a badly glued disc in this area. In other model series there were problems with Volvo. Therefore my question, if here is known for the V40 what ? sid2006

  • Recommended purchase V40 Cross Country

    Dear Volvo community, after the past cars were Mercedes, I would like to take a look at something new and had a Volvo in mind. Of interest to me is a V40 Cross Country Since I have no idea what to expect from a Volvo, I wanted to ask you something for advice. I’ve already had a lot of fun in the forum. I’m looking for a reliable car with comfort and “gloss”, therefore the idea with the V40. My questions: 1. I’ve read that the D4 engines with 190 hp probably cause problems (risse). Does this concern only this diesel engine or are the problems also to be observed with the D3 and D5? 2. As I read, the gasoline engines are noticeably more reliable. Am my impression correct? 3. Automatic would be great for me, therefore my question. Are the automatic transmissions reliable? 4. Volvo installs timing belts that have to be changed at the latest at 150,000 km? 5. Are there years of construction that should be avoided? 6. Otherwise, I’d be happy about hints that a Vovo newcomer should definitely pay attention to when buying a used car.

  • Callback Diesel models 500,000 vehicles

    Volvo calls back half a million diesel models worldwide Because the intake manifold could overheat and cause a fire in the engine compartment. In the series V40, V40CC, S60, S60CC, V60, V60CC, XC60, V70 (photo), XC70, S80, S90, V90, V90CC and XC90 from different model years between 2014 and 2019, the intake manifold made of plastic could overheat and thereby deform, the speaker explained the measure. A lighting up of the engine warning light, a motor failure or poor performance were the potential consequences. “In the worst case, there is the possibility that a locally limited engine compartment fire can occur. In addition, an optimization of the cooling system of the exhaust gas recirculation (AGR) is planned. In Germany, these works differ according to the model and engine. According to our information, this includes a software update for the engine control. It is intended to alleviate the problem of an excessive noise development in the aggregate. Moreover, an optimization of the exhaust recirculation (AGR) is planned.

  • Current software status

    Hello together, was with my V40 T5 BJ 2015 at the service. In addition to an absurdly expensive invoice, I was told there was no new software at the V40. It is no longer further developed. What is the latest software status with the V40 and is this correct? In the standard software update list on the HP of Volvo the V40 is not listed for a long time. Thank you and greetings!

  • Distinctive start behaviour 2.4i

    Hello, the speed at my V50 (2.4i with 170 hp) is immediately after the cold start about 20-30 sec. at about 1,800 rpm. This is so far OK, and also known from other cars. But the engine is quite noisy. Is the engine at operating temperature it can happen at start ups that the valves briefly clearly audible clapping (can of course be something else, but sounds like valve clapping). Is this normal or does someone have the same symptone with his Volvo ? Greeting
