Hello you good Volvo drivers! I have a little problem! Every time I have fuelled with Shell petrol, the engine runs a little rough. The engine speed goes in the first course of the automatic and only when I stand up and down a little. When I filled the gasoline with additional actives, i.e. the super great petrol from Shell, the Volvo did it too. After a few days the small problem is gone again. Whether it is due to the old pins wherever possible, I don’t know. Or it is due to Shell petrol. That the Volvo engines do not like petrol from Shell. That’s what it is like. My ex-tigra only liked BP Super! What do you think?

The previous owner of my elk had made an oil change at ATU, and they had the oil drain screw screwed. Then I went there and the have then sucked off the oil and there came only about 2.5 liters, then they meant that can not be everything and then made the drain screw out then, but there was really nothing left, i.e. I drove around with 2.5 liters of oil, but must say I looked about 2000km and poured a liter. But can that be the so much oil consumed?? I have no oil in the cooling water and the candles are also deer brown. It’s about a 96er 2.0 16v with 140hp PS: Whether you believe it or not, they have done everything on culant, I just paid for the oil and the filter. You may now mock me but I used to be an absolouter ATU Hasser, but in the last time only make good experiences with those.

Hello dear moose, I do not have any problems with my V40! It’s all going well. But what happens if the central locking is total failure. Whether by radio and key! My V40 only has a door lock at the driver’s door and tailgate. Driver’s door opens and the tailgate also! But passenger.- right rear.- and left rear door no longer open or tank lid! What now? Am abroad, don’t speak the language of the country! How do I go on? How do I get my passengers into the car?

Good evening people, would like to use my 2000th contribution to wish you and your families a beautiful 4th Advent, a wonderful restful Christmas and a good slide into 2011. Our all beloved Volvo V40 / S40 comes into its years, in which it is either retired or comes as an inflated T4 200 hp racing car. The prices have fallen partly below the 1K Euro limit, which has affected the driver’s crew. The questions about M3 exterior mirrors, sports exhaust, steam wheel tuning and “multi-car value is” audio equipment have increased. This year, despite another accident-free year, my insurance premium has risen, which will probably continue to do. In this sense, Solong B PS: The V40 was and remains a classic, a feast for all the Volvo lovers: It should not take anyone the above lines personally, let alone a discussion about the written one. Just wanted to report my main greetings and greetings.

Hello dear elk! I recently saw something super great in a channel on German television! You buy a fat lipstick for the cold season in the supermarket. If it is possible, it should be nice and wide for big lips. Now it is still cremated in the parking lot of the super brand, all the rubbers of the doors and rams of the V40 with this lipstick. Very important, it must be in the day and in the night plus degrees, otherwise the lipstick does not help! If it gets cold again, so below zero you get all doors open. Is a great thing and saves money. When the door seals tear, it costs really money. Nice greetings from DOS6.2

Now I have found my new car with your energetic support and wanted to let you all participate in my first impressions in everyday life. Unfortunately, I have not been able to drive much with it yet, because I only get my winter bikes on Monday or Tuesday, and it is not really possible here in Berlin to ride around with summer tires. The few rides that I have made yet, have convinced me completely that I have made the right decision. I am most attached to the nevertheless quite immense performance of the 1.8 engine, connected with an almost silent glide away, which I had not experienced so far. Clutch and gear feel like new, it can be switched on softly and drive on. The seating comfort is a completely new experience for me, which up to now mainly VW Polo, Golf and Fiat Doblo has driven. Even the fact that one has a lumbar support, has surprised me very positively. Also with the sound I am more than satisfied, not even the retrofitted Pioneer speakers in the polo have passed there. The only disadvantage so far is the fact that I have not yet improved the speed of winter, but I still have improved the speed of the snow.

Hello, just come from a ride of 120km, of which 90km highway. Now I’m driving to my parking lot, let the window down and hear this squeak. Sound first like the brakes, which can squeak a bit while grinding slightly, but the noise did not disappear in the stand either. bonnet on – the noise does not come from the passenger side of the engine, where the belt drives the aggregates and also the timing belt runs, but from the driver side, it can’t be located more precisely. On the engine it’s also quite loud, the running noise drowns clearly. If I give some gas, it disappears from about 1500 rpm. This has occurred once before after a long distance, but not every time. Does one of you have an idea? V40, Bj. 98, 1.8 85KW

Greetings! Would have a question regarding the interior lighting. I have to switch the front position lights over the ZV or via the interior lighting. Now I have put cable of the lamp on the ground, the following result from left to right (alt. picture) Red-White: nix Red: Duration plus Green: Duration plus Yellow-Blue: nix Black: nix Yellow-brown: Duration plus, switches off when ceiling light is green-yellow: Duration plus, switches off when ceiling light is on. Hm…am not sooooo with electronics, but does this mean that the interior lighting is switched on Mass? And where do I connect the cable, which then goes to the front position lights? (Well, I go ahead of the fuse (position lights) in the engine room) Thank you for a few feedbacks and thought impulses Greeting Wolfgang

My new V40 was a very good offer (350 euros) but apart from a dent in the fender, the engine control light shines permanently. However, he passed the exhaust test and the engine runs well. In the error memory there were first 3 errors stored. After deletion there was one error left: “EFI-131 Engine speed (RPM) sensor, signal rotty” In English: “EFI–131 speed sensor, signal activated” (must be deactivated) Does anyone know this error? And why does the motor run super with this error?

Hello together, I made yesterday the felt 10th oil change on my moose and I noticed for the first time this white plastic cover (on the gearbox?) below the battery…. Can anyone tell me for what it is? It doesn’t look as beautiful as I think it was at that time and then there’s a white locking screw? Is this for the transmission oil? Do I have to change that??? Volvo V40, 1.8, BJ 99, I’m curious
