Tach too, can someone help me, I want to expand my SC-805 and install a DIN radio for it, unfortunately I have not yet found a mounting kit or shaft that fits in my V40. Thank you in advance for your help Gruss

Huhu, some radio manufacturers offer the possibility to use a line-in adapter instead of a changer to connect external MD or MP3 players to the radio. Is this possibility also available for Volvo radios (with changer control)? Thanks and greetings. PS: Where can I find information about Volvo original accessories if I only have the item number (and of course the name of the part)?

Hello, I have had the following problem: I have had a V40 phase 1 with underground radio reception. GEHABT because it is now no longer underground but completely finito. I already looked through and read in the search function all the topics that there is about the roof antenna and the socket (which as is well known gladly gives up the spirit). I start with it that the screwing was so strongly corroded that the counter nut could not be solved. After several ugly turns (sock turned up with) a brittle rubber ring of the roof top and antenna closed off. Since the square upper piece of the antenna by the “hole” of the roof fit after I then carefully ripped off the antenna foot including antenna rod started the problems. Socket removed, how can it be solved… cable…. hhhmmm why are there three cables at the old but at my new antenna only two? when the connection of the old socket already a small “puff” as if a fuse flew out of it was also found for the antenna and why did not have found the fun of it.

Moin moin! Almost two years ago, I bought my V40 T4 and I don’t want to give it any more history: When I bought it at that time, there were basically two things to change. Autogas system is in it. Really good hifi with DSP and Volaktivesteuerung is in it. These two points are thus ticked off. On the special specimen there were then two more construction sites, which do not affect every V40. Because of the really perfect condition, I took it nevertheless: He shined like new and had no visible scratch – even when looking closer. Since he was silver, however, a new color dress was necessary, that was done right after the purchase and thus another construction site is done. The problem is that today: the car has a fullheather equipment. So far, I have lived with the emergency solution, at least the seats with self-sewn protective covers to cover it. But this should now finally be done decently. The problem, which I have with it, is the airbags, because it has an exchange of some parts in a specialized workshop, I don’t have to do not have to repeat it with a workshop. In addition, if I want to be able to buy a seat.

Hello, yesterday I got 4 new summer tires for my V40. Conti SportContact 2 205/50 R16 ZR16. Since the old tires had been driven off very well I had to have the track adjusted. Had to drive a longer distance highway and the tires sounded funny after all. With the tank looked: 2,8 bar inside. I have now lowered to 2,4 (what did you have in it??). Then it was better. However, it is now really that the elk pulls quite to the right. No matter whether highway or country road. And quite exactly from 120 the steering wheel starts to wobble like n mixers. Can someone give me a tip if the vll still lays down until the tires are “trimmed in” or what is going on? Expression of the setting I have here, however, can do nothing with it at all 😛 would be VERY grateful about help. I know that: If I drive to the workshop say that is normal so etc. I then have no arguments because I don’t know better….

Airbag lamp lights up… …from today on nothing! Just on and off when starting and then it stays on. What can it be? New Volvo Macke? Greeting Carsten

Hello, (V40, BJ 1998 Phase 1, 2L, 140hp). Perhaps one of you can help me further, here my problem with the V40: In case of a cold engine it behaves quite normal. As soon as it gets warm, it starts to stutter on the 2nd and 3rd cylinder at half-perceived gas pedal. The ignition coil for the 2nd and 3rd cylinder, as well as all 4 spark plugs, have already been renewed. The compression has been measured and is at a fantastic 13,xx bar. The injection nozzles have been exchanged: from the 1st to the 2nd cylinder and from the 4th to the 3rd cylinder. The symptom remains the same. If you stay on the gas pedal, blue smoke comes out of the exhaust. Therefore, the compression has been measured to definitely exclude the cylinder head seal. The lamp for engine malfunction does not glow. Does anyone know of you such symptoms or can give a hint where to continue looking? Well-known mechanics are at the end with the Latin (but no Volvo special knowledge). Is there are diseases with this model? Where do you really want to look at me?

Hello municipality, for a long time let nothing hear from me….bin since December in or on Fuerteventura, at the end of November 3000 km from Cologne to Portimao (Portugal) with full car, roof rack, 2 wheels, roof box and full or rather overcrowded trailer…. Since then again about 16tkm have passed and my good sound doesn’t sound so good anymore….I have a video set on Youtube, maybe one of you recognizes the problem…. I have to notice, I have no real power losses, only sometimes the speed in idle run goes down to about 200 and then he recovers quickly…sometimes with slow rides he also seems to jerk short, I have about 1l oil on 5000 km consumption, dry engine, no drop oil or similar…cooling fluid also does not decrease…here the video Thank you in advance

Hello experts, I urgently need your help My car: Volvo V40 2.0t Business Bj. 2000 Mod. 2001 FasII I have a problem and I can’t find any information on the net. My airbag lamp has been running permanently for a short time. I have read out the error in a Werstatt (not at Volvo) and he has read out the error. Code SRS-0125. Error cannot be deleted. The workshop has measured all the cables and does not find the error. ECU ok. As he said, it is probably a signal error in the system. Whatever that may be called. It is about the shoulder/head airbag (IC). However, it has not taken off the sky. There should probably be more cable connections there. Does someone have an idea before I drive into the Volvo contract workshop and which may have turned on me a new airbag? Have not had an accident or otherwise screwed on the car. Who has tricks and ideas? Thank you for your help Greeting from Sweden André

Moin moin together, I have a Volvo v40 bj2004 diesel 85Kw D4192T3 After the clutch exchange the cart no longer starts, error message shows me : 0002 fuel level sensor 0011 engine coolant sensor ECT 000A ambient temperature sensor Faulty And when reading out he tells me no transmission control unit answers. I would like to know from you where I find the gear control unit, or is it integrated with the motor control unit? Thank you in advance
