Moin dear friends and the forum! Unfortunately I still have a small problem! If I set the ignition key to position II and make stand lighting, I can see the illumination of the display clearly and brightly at the selector lever for the automatic. One can see where the selector lever is at the moment, namely on P. What interests me, is the W key to the right of the selector lever. 1. Is the W key also illuminated? 2. If yes! How do you open this entire display to change lamps? 3. Which lamps are these? Many greetings from Torsten P.S. To explain the W key: the W key is called winter start-up aid. In the case of ice and snow smoothness, an automatic driver has to press the W button because the automatic drives off with the 3rd gear and because the tires can then drive better with great power and little gas pedal.

Hello everyone, I’m about to buy a new used car. I have VW/Audi or Volvo V40 to choose from. Actually, VW and Audi are too expensive for me. At the moment I’m driving a Skoda, which is more trouble than he is ready to drive. What are your experiences with the Volvo V40? Can you recommend your car without restriction? I’m asking for honest answers !!!!

Hoi Volvogemeinde! I bought V40 2 years ago (BJ 19999/06, 95PS, Comfortpacket). Now already 95000km. Up to now: 2x: Gerzener Veilriefer penetrates cooling water line because Volvo mechanic does not recognize that tensioner roller is defective. All 4 brake discs and cheeks new. Electric window lifter left defective: replacement of the whole thing: €470,00. Track warped: tires broken early. Etc., etc… I need the car professional and there it should somehow count. How is your Erf ahrung: Is the car totally scrapped or do I have a Monday thing and from now on I have peace anyway? Wouldn’t I have bought the BMW or Laguna…. However: Pretty eater already! Please write me your experiences. I should make a decision quickly! Merci wastl from Vienna

Hello people… A colleague of mine got into a Volvo and would have liked to know how you can find the price for the car. Ask for a quick honest opinion as the car has been reserved for a week. I can give you the following information: Volvo V40 1.8 Silver Metallic 11.500 km First registration 06.2003 ABS Airbag Jayquard-Vinyl Sports seats Part leather equipment Aluminium inserts Air conditioning Charging wheelo Light alloy rims “Galactica” Radio with CD and cassette Winter tires with corresponding en Wheels Xenon headlights Central locking with wireless remote control Previous owner: Volvo Car rental The price is currently at 18.650€ After a first conversation, however, could be traded down to 16,95€. From the outside the car would look topp. Not a single scratch. The roof ring would then also be made additionally. Of course it would then remain with this price. According to the seller, the car was not “stepped”, but everyone wants to know finally what the That’s why I wouldn’t trust the seller so much in this respect. But nevertheless. Are the 16,95€ well laid out by my colleague in this car? Thank you very much to everyone who answers…

as soon as I had a change of oil, the question arose which oil I would take. on demand at the dealer he told me that volovo 5w30 prescribed. then I looked in the accessories trade what the good drop should cost. since this was too much for my taste, I immediately asked in the shop for an alternative. as an answer came, that also 10w40 would be possible, which is already better from the price. what are your experiences? or is there another choice. for tip I would be grateful…. thank you

Hello guys, this is my first post in this forum. I’ve had my Volvo V40 (built at the end of 2003) for four weeks now and I’m very happy with him overall. He was already in the workshop three times – but because of small things (e.g. squeaky belt, broken xenon burner etc.) Now he’s complaining again. And I noticed during the ride home from the Whitsun weekend on the highway that sometimes very light white smoke from the steering column a In addition, the belt warner suddenly taps irregularly, although I am strapped on. The flashing noise and the signal of the belt warner seem to have the same source. I was already in the workshop of my trust today. But they have no cause. But it goes on: again and again white smoke (but very low) and tackers. After my first research on the Internet, the problem seems to be known, but rather to occur with different VW models. The reason is usually the relay or the flash switch. The resolution of the question, but what was the cause really, almost always remains open. I am perplexed. What else can I do? Does anyone else have an idea of you? Best regards, Paddox

Hello, I just wanted to ask if one of you has already used paint from the accessories and how the experiences were. Since I want to paint the whole bumper and the original Volvo paint probably only in 150ml or 250ml cans, for ~30 € piece, I would like to find a cheaper alternative. I had found this: http://www.ebay.de/…/371112852094?… Thanks already!

Hello, I’ve been having a problem with my tank indicator for quite some time now, which quittered your service after I wanted to go home to work. The tank indicator continued to sink into the reserve area until at some point the reserve lamp turned on, a full tank had no purpose, remained constant in the reserve area with reserve light over several days. Meanwhile, however, when the car starts to show me a minimum tank content, this during the drive into the reserve area sinks to rise to maximum during the ride, which is not true, since only half the tank content is still available. Look forward to your answers.

Moose community: hopefully it is not irreversible, but after changing the brake blocks, brake fluid now comes out on the brake booster, namely at the transition cylinder/amplifier. It comes out of one of the two screws, with which the cylinder is screwed in the brake booster.See picture:http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NzY4WDEwMjQ=/z/LweAOSwu4BV5XA5/$_1.JPG The picture shows the two fixing screws (picture of an ebay auction). ötze were changed yesterday) but today again a small gutter room has formed, which also has some liquid dripped on the steering cuff. Leak is very low, it does not drip “live” so that I see it dripping properly. Although the mechanic has sucked off some brake fluid (he also had to, because the container was brimful since a brake fluid change), but I fear that it was too little and now overpressure prevails in the system. What do you think happened and how sol Is it dangerous or rather harmless ??? I’ve never experienced a leak in the braking system, but now I’m just very scared.
