Hello dear people, I have unfortunately again a new problem on my Volvo. After a clutch damage (about 170 Tsd.) (the workshop told me it is the printout bearing and has made the clutch new), is now two months later the gearbox broken. When driving there was suddenly no more drive, so the gears could be inserted quite normally just the car didn’t drive anymore. Now the workshop told me that there is a hole in the gearbox and the car would have lost a lot of oil. Can this happen now due to the previous clutch damage? Or was it already broken and was overlooked when the clutch was replaced? And my last question, the workshop meant that a used VW could be built in, which would not be so expensive. Is this really just so?? Would you like to hear a few opinions, I just don’t know if I should do that. Thank you very much!

As can be seen in the subject, the org. Volvo rims have “crater” and need new tires, which tyre size can I do maximum on it? There are 205/50R16 on it now! These are also available as max. in appearance, so if you can mount something bigger, they would have to be registered anyway. If you have a tyre tip, I would also be very grateful! Oh and what else….I have the V40 SportEdition, but without a sports suspension, the current chassis is already quite “soft”, you mean a conversion to sports suspension is worth it? What will that cost in some way? EDIT: I think I already found it:http://www.motor-talk.de/showthread.php?… The question is now only, do I have to be a friend because of the parts appraisal, or how does it work?

Hello driving a V40 year 2002 would need a new bumper now I would get a cheap one from the s40 year 1998 would fit the knows who?

Hello drive a Volvo V40 1,d with 115ps. I had oil changes this week and the mechanic told me that my Volvo has a bit of oil loss but so wistful that I have no stains on the ground. Now my question is that there are any particular seals that like to be broken or something? Lg

Moin people, since I didn’t find anything here, I hope someone has an answer or an idea. At the moment I have problems with the return gear, which I rarely get in. First gear also has a kind of resistance. But as soon as the R gear goes in, it goes butter soft. Then you switch to the fifth or third, and the game starts from the front. Just kicks up when the engine is started. Since I don’t have a pole, so no sockets and the whole by rope works, the idea with the sockets unfortunately does not work. BJ. 2001, 2L petrol. Hope someone has an idea.

Now after 300 K km it’s time, the Stabi bushings (rubber bearings on the auxiliary frame) have been knocked out. Stabilizer can be moved, and there are bumps… Have VIDA the instructions to change the whole stabilizer and that looks very cumbersome. Has anyone ever managed to replace the rubber bushings without lowering the engine steering gear carrier and reported how he did it? Or has someone had it done recently and can therefore call it an approximate price for this repair?http://www.skandix.de/…/

Hi I took over a V 40 1.9 DIESEL 116 hp from my parents. So today I was on the road with a slight humidity, the car started swimming at Temo 130 / 140. That was as if I had been on the road with my 95 polo. When I looked at the tyres at home I was a little surprised. 185 /65 R 15 According to the registration, this is exactly the hair.There is 185/65R15 82H. Now my question. What is the optimal summer tyres for this vehicle?

Hello! Volvo V40, 1.8 85KW, year 98 With my V40 I noticed with the falling temperatures that the coolant temperature indicator fluctuates. The engine became (feeled) warm in normal time, however, the temperature pointer fluctuated downhill during longer rides and finally also in flat terrain with moderate load of the engine. This pointed for me to an age-weak thermostat. So it was changed fixed and immediately the cooling liquid renewed. The ventilated was as follows: Fill up coolant, heat up fully, let the engine warm up, with lack of coolant pouring down, drive a few kilometers and let the engine run until the switch on the cooler fan. Motor out, let cool down and refill again. Since then the coolant level has not changed any more. Since then the engine is only slowly warm. On the road I get it on about 1/4 of the scale, in the town of the manufacturer in traffic jam the display rises then to 1/2. On the Auotbahn it also rises to 1/2. In this position it remains then too. The thermostat can vary slowly?

Hello, last year I broke the rotary knob of my light switch on my V40 (1.8 16V 115PS BJ97) This also got bridged with a screwdriver so that my light and instruments were also on. And the other day the lighting of the tachos only went on in the case of a light, but not when my light was on. And I just can’t find the light switch unit to buy. Maybe someone can help me. I put a photo on the switch I’m looking for. It’s important that he has 2 connections for cables. I can only find the one from later series.

Hello Holland elk fans, I don’t understand something: My elk (B4184S, 115 Ps, hand switch) does 200 km/h (on the speedometer), but the speedometer then shows 5000 rpm, although the engine would have to achieve a higher speed. More revolutions just don’t….but the red range starts at 6500… Or can my car just not turn in 5th gear anymore?
