Hello together, we have a problem with our Volvo, maybe someone knows that. In the 2-4 gears answers hear a certain noise, such a kind of scraping, noise, doesn’t sound really good, even if not really loud. Always leave it at load or rolls, even at very low speed almost unchanged, so whether you have 2500 revolutions on it or 1000 actually doesn’t matter – which I find funny. In the 5 gears nothing, in the first and reverse actually also not. When clutches step away! I then brought it into a workshop to an acquaintance, the tipped on the differential. He then got Volvo gear oil and wanted to exchange it first. Said, done ( On the occasion engine and gear oil ) First we had changed the engine oil, probably I pictured that, but after change the noise heard quite less perceptible. On the next day the gear oil was made worse. The Meschanician said again, it is true a little bit too little in it and one would like to know that it was the first oil, but no hint on späne, neither copper nor silbrie, no matter, no matter what the gear itself.

Moin together, I wanted to listen if there were any problems with the return of the turbo (T4) with regard to tightness here in the round. After a repair, the oil return was leaking to me (or my V40). The whole thing started with a slight smell of burnt oil at the traffic light and finally ended with a kind of octopus function when accelerating on the AB. I had the whole thing repaired (new O-ring and new return tube) and now it starts to smell easily again at the traffic light… According to the mechanic, the tube was under tension in the seat and he easily tried to fix it so that it sits tension-free in the opening. How can it be that even a new part does not fit properly? Because a greeting part like Krummer and Turbo don’t really move?!

Good evening, with my V40 2.0T Special Edition (165 HP) the air mass meter is probably defective. I would have a new one from private in view, however, this is from a diesel, but also phase II. If the seller were not a little further away, I would just try it, but would like to save me the way, if the LMM is not compatible. Has someone already had experience with it and built a brewed LMM from another engine? I am grateful for any answers. MfG -Patrick

Moin Together, today I wanted to change the bulb in the side limit and failed. At the front right this is probably a bit problematic. Had the wheel removed and the lining, but didn’t really reach the lamp through the container for the windscreen washing system. In the instructions on the topic of lamp change, that all pears, which are not in the instructions, require a change in the Volvo workshop. Are these spiders? How do I get the side limit lamp at the front right of my V40 from 1998 removed so that I can change the defective bulb? Maybe there is a hint.

Good evening all together, my elk has the problem since today, that the door pin of the passenger door “falls down” from itself. He comes when unlocking up really high, but then slip down again a bit. The door can then only be opened from the inside … logically … Had then before the interior cladding, but that did not bring me much. The actuator is completely hidden built in… Also with mirror and flashlight can not really be recognized because one’s own hands are in the field of view… Did any of you ever have this problem before? The actuator works yes . Could it be that one spring is missing ? …in the door I could not find one at first… I am grateful for every tip P.S. Bj.’98 (Ph1)

And I’m just listening to this forum almost all the jammers, so I thought it would be nice to put in a couple of remodelings here;-) My ’99s sweetheart was changed from the bumper to the windshield on the last model. 2001 bumper, lip and side border lights, 2004 radiator grill and wash nozzles etc. This whole conversion was more difficult than I thought. So I surfed there in ebay, and hit there by chance;-) on a 2001 bumper skin for 50 euros. So I couldn’t resist it anyway. Sheiiiiii… So I had to wait for the art corners at the base carrier by 1 cm, which was not so easy. Suddenly the part was under the headlights. Passene of course and Vorne anyway. Sheiiiiii… So I had to wait for it!

Moin moin, my turbocharger from my V40 2.0T Built. 2002 163 HP (Automatic) causes problems 🙁 From one day to the other there is a dull whistle in every acceleration, one could also call it surren, difficult to describe. In addition, a very high whistle, only to hear from the outside, but not with the head in the engine compartment, but really only from the outside, rather towards the end pot, can not really be localized. I think that it is directed through the exhaust system to the outside. In addition, it ejects a thin, black liquid from the exhaust, smells like a mixture of oil, gasoline and exhaust gases, maybe also cooling water? I still could not detect performance loss, but of course I don’t want to test it properly. Now my flags: – Does someone have such a kind of instruction as the replacement works? – Do I have to find a loader for exactly the model or does also fit the one from the older model with 160 HP? And does automatic drives or circuit play a role? Would soooo grateful for many tips and suggestions) :

As I see it, this forum is only run by three people. Asterix, Warfi and Drillschnaffe. Who I miss most is asparagus. At some point we can shut down the shop here as well. But what bothers me most is that there is little positive feedback. If you look at the calls to topics in relation to the contributions, that’s already fraping. Does nobody dare say anything? If the above-mentioned people have no desire for this forum anymore, it’s dead. And that’s a pity. My opinion.

Hello can someone help me? I need the cable assignment of the Lambda probe for V40 2.0 ,103KW , Bj:96 bought me a Universal – Lambda probe with open cable ends, unfortunately without connection plan. The cable colors at the Universal – Lambda probe are gray – mass black – signal ECU 2x white – probe heater The original probe has the colors Red White Black Yellow Where does it come from??? Thank you for the many answers in advance , often someone has already installed a Universal – Lambda probe.

Hello, my loyal Elsch (V40, year 1999, 2,0T) is getting me out of my mind right now and I hope someone can help me with my suffering. After the rear windscreen wiper only worked sporadically, I removed the engine and cleaned it as described in the forum. After that it ran for about 6 months again, then it started that you didn’t hear the pump at the splash water switch (back window), but everything still works on the windshield until today. Electricity comes to the rear wiper engine and you hear the relay work, but unfortunately the rear windscreen wiper doesn’t turn any more. Had it tried then also with a replacement wiper motor, but unfortunately without success. My guess that maybe the relay has a crack or the electronics has a problem. Does someone happen to know where the relay for the rear windscreen wiper is sitting? Did someone happen to have such a problem from you and can tell me what I can try out? Thank you in advance for your feedback.
