  • Medium silencer replacement?

    Hello guys, my mid-muffler needs to be new and I wanted to ask what your experiences with accessory dampers are like. As I see it, there are the things of Bosal, Walker and Vegaz. Which one of them lasts the longest, or has the best quality and is not too loud? Thank you and greetings DOIT

  • Dealing with each other in the forum

    As surely some of you know, I take part in the contributions here in the forum. I always try to help other moose drivers with factual clues, but what really last time is going on with the cookie is, on the one hand, like here partly personally with one is dealt with, partly hard at the border to insult, unspeakable argumentation and similar things. Second, topic threads are started, which are actually short and crisp to turn out at once in discussions (which would be still in order if it were about the topic) or quite other topics appear there at once. I find this not so good, I would like to be more co-inherent and also a little more writing discipline. So that we can understand right away, I am the first of the mea culpa says. It was on my mind, and you can now all throw stones at me now or something similar, that I might hold out. Oh yes, I am not a forum moderator, but I would like to thank you very much for your work. Oh yes, we all have a sense of joy, and a sense of wisdom, and even a sense of wisdom, and a sense of wisdom could help.

  • V40 – Beginner’s model?

    Hello! I was looking for a S70 at first, but the market for it is a bit rough and the selection is so small that I am getting more and more friends with the v40. At autoscout etc there are various offers for 5000 euro Volvo V40 1.8 Comfort 1st hand checkbook € 4.999,- mileage: 96.466 km First registration: 09/1998 Fuel: petrol Power: 85 kW / 116 hp Equipment has everything I need or not I have already read a little here and ponder now whether I should take a bigger motorization. Problem: my budget is limited to 5500 euro… I need the car to get to work every day, so that’s 30 km. So about 60 km a day. I’m not an absolutely faster car driver, but on free distance “without big driving” of course I like to drive over the limit. My questions: Are the PS enough to come to some extent float from A to B? one can take offers for approx. 5000 euro quite seriously and look at the car times or should it be suitable for the Vpfschritt etc?

  • Has someone experience with Cera Tune

    Hello, does anyone have experience with Cera Tune ceramic engine coating? I bought it because my Volvo V40 GDI engine is particularly on-stand. According to Volvo, the noise of the GDI engine would be normal.According to a phone call with a very competent engineer from Cera Tune, the noise would disappear if you used Cera Tune ceramic engine coating. I look forward to your answers. Gruss Labrador 68

  • Carrier engine, 1.8ltr, 115 hp, V 40

    Hi there. For 4 days I’ve been the proud owner of a Volvo V40, 1.8 ltr., 16V, BJ. 98. Before that I drove a VW Vento with 2.0 ltr and also 115 HP. It ran like crazy. Unfortunately, I could only drive a little bit through the city during the test drive for time reasons and did not get over the 3 gear. My problem is that, as I know 16 V engines, these are in themselves rotating gears and only really go from about 4000 rpm. After all, the Volvo has a speed band up to 6500 rpm. With 4000 spins is unfortunately already the oven out. All over 4500 rpm is feelable only an agony for the engine. So of a 16 V I would have expected much more spin joy. The extended V/Max was said and written 170 – 180 km/h on level and light falls. Before I had to check the setting at Vovlo now, I wanted to ask the Volvo Geminde, if it is with similar models of other owners as well. But I had to leave a chip build up to make this thing happen.

  • Towing hitch

    Hello guys, have you ever attached a trailer coupling? I would like to mount one on my V40 year 2003. Was recently with my dealer and he made me an estimate of 580 euros. I would have almost tipped over there. And that even for a rigid coupling. If this remains with this price, then it is still cheaper to rent a car and a trailer instead of building it. Has any of you ever built one on it yourself? Does that work easily? Does the bumper also have to be “cut up” a bit or is the hook mounted under it? Can you do a lot wrong? I am grateful for every help. Nice start of the week still…

  • V40 Brochures

  • Chiptuning

    Hello I have a question for the “Supertuner” among the moose drivers. In the Ebay a chipset for Volvo V40 T4 is offered for 13 euros incl. shipping. (Article no. 8009165804 – Chiptuning VOLVO 850 V40 / S40 S60 V70… ) have asked directly there. What to think about it? Please for feedback. Greetings Cebit 1963
