  • Performance dynamometer T4

    Hi guys, I just wanted to let you know in advance that my T4 is going to be on the performance test bench today. If you press the thumbs, then I can tell you tomorrow what my fully shortened control rod brings to performance. See you tomorrow! The Sven.

  • Puke in the Volvo!

    SHIT SHIT AND NON-MAL SHIT!!!!!! Yesterday evening after a party I took a couple of friends with me…..Someone seemed to have been drinking too much and there it happened…………..HER COOKED MY BACKBANK FULL!!!!!!………and all this when I was on the highway…and you know that there is no emergency lane in Italy, let alone a decent gas station that has opened the night and 3! IT WAS THE REINST HORROR! 1 hour long to go home, my elk messed up….and in me it was raging with rage! Have the whole bench expanded this morning and now it looks normal again! Luckily! But one thing I can tell you: “I WILL BE NEVER MORE WITH THE ELCH FOR A PARTY CARE, AND HON GAR DOWN WITH ME!!!!” Ps: Happiness in the misfortune: now he is cleaner inside than ever before!

  • V40 2.0T vs. BMW 7xx

    huhu, so I used to ride on the highway with approx. 160… and once a Dutchman 7ner BMW appears behind me, hm… I thought I could forget, but then I gave it gas and actually I didn’t want to believe it but we were both immediately up and nobody was faster, of course I didn’t endanger anyone, autobahn was as good as empty;-) MI really would have liked to see what he had for a 7ner BMW, there was nothing in the back of it… but I saw how he quenched himself;-) but anyway both of us were at 240 close… look at what my little elch did on the straight track:

  • V40 Leather Seats Retrofitting -> Autosattler

    Meal! I’ve been thinking about whether this makes sense, has someone ever had it done for a V40? I’ve got an offer from a saddle shop over 1900,-€ Included are foresides, rear bench, middle armrest and door panel! Of course is extremely expensive, but also somehow understandable. I would be interested if someone from you has ever done something like that, how then the satisfaction was and of course what it cost!

  • CDi after tuning

    Servus mitnand, well as the title already says, I helped my diesel a bit on the spruenge. So original I had found the 1.9 CDi with 85kW and 265Nm. It didn’t go bad, but it could have been more. And look, after a long, long research in the inet, I finally found a box (because I didn’t want to change the field of knowledge, also known as “chip tuning” which does NOT work over the rise of the rail pressure (because this is extremely at the expense of the valves), but only intervenes in the injection duration. Say, it is now more early and longer injected. This gives me 102kW (~140hp) and 320Nm. And I can tell you, the result is gigantic. One has got the feeling of having another engine in it. From below he is now pushing forward with a brutal force, that it is only such a joy to give up the gas *rahness important, but it’s got me so much.

  • Front fog lamps

    Hello, I’ve had a Volvo V40 year 98 for a little more than a month. I really like it, except for a few small defects. But a lack is a bit more annoying. There are no fog lights. Since I have to drive a track on my way to work in the morning, which has quite often strong fog, it would be very useful to have the headlights. Now I was with the local Volvo dealer a few days ago and asked for it. Well, the price with installation speaks a clear language – about 350 €. The Volvo is quite expensive to me, only 350 € clearly blows the frame. That’s too much for me for 2 lamps. On eBay I find 2 for reckoned ~80 €. } Where you put the headlights is already known to me. Below the normal headlights there is a cut in the front bumper. This cutout is used if I correctly interpret just for the fog lights. I just don’t know how to get to the necessary power. If someone has any experience with the installation, if there is a tip that could help me here. This cut out with car technology, I don’t care for Markus.

  • Oil pressure too high – Filter burst

    Hello, I have a hearty problem there. With my V40 last Thursday the oil filter has burst. I got a new one and just Friday morning, so one day later it’s also a fug. my sled now stands for the friendly examination. since I find out that the oil pump builds up too much pressure (over 5 bar) and the master tells me that I need a new one. So now I have a new oil pump but that also has 3.8 where you can only have about 2.8. the engine has been cleaned and the problem keeps itself stubborn. now I have learned that the young have to take apart from the friendly engine to solve the problem, because it can just as well be the whole engine over. until now it is only 800 fleas that I should pay. if they build the engine apart and then it is ok, then 2000 fleas, but if the engine is there I need a new one that is not quite so cheap. Who can help with something know or similar to the experience?

  • Glasses Tönnen

    Hello guys I have to do the slices of my silver green V40. Which foil would you take and how far would you want to do it. I only thought about the butt 3 slices, but I’m not sure if I’ll leave the doors with sounds. Who of you has ever let such a thing be done by a professional so by calculation I mean, and what will that cost in about.

  • [V40] Paint door handles ??

    Moin people, would like to have my door handles and bowls painted in car color, the art-off looks really no longer great over time, especially when you have come up with polish! With plastic care products it always looks nice again, but in car paint I find somehow more chic! Has anyone from you already been able to gain experience? How elaborate is the removal of the handles + bowls?

  • my little engine history …. please help!

    Good evening! We had to wait for the good time! I had to wait for the good time! I had to wait for the good time! I had to wait for the good time! I had to wait for the good time! I had to wait for the good time! I had to wait for the good time! I had to wait for the good time! I had to wait for the good time! I had to wait for the good time! I had to wait for the good time to get a drink in the supermarket! at the start of the good time, the bad time was a big white smoke cloud in the sky, but I didn’t think about it, because the bad time was a few times, so I was happy to go on the first pass, without any further problems! then I went straight up the next mountain! after about 5 km on the second mountain I didn’t get on the fast track and I didn’t notice a little bit of it again.
