Category: Volvo S40, V40 Forum

Hello all, I have a question for you: My elk has quite funky lamps, I would like to put H7 lamps in. An inquiry from the dealer resulted in an offer for the following headlights: Vehicle equipment: for vehicles with light-width control (electric) Lamp type: H7/H7 Scatter disk design: crystal-clear scatter disk equipmentvar. TURBO T4, SP. EDITI. Number of connections 5 As far as, so good. However, I have no pins on my old headlight. I have uploaded some pictures to you. Is there an adapter for, or do you have to make it yourself? Probably someone has done this here in the forum, but the link to the description unfortunately goes to the void (elchschreck.de). Already many thanks and many greetings, Markus

Hello dear forum community. I’ve been having a problem since recently. My engine knocks, nails, or whatever you might call it. I’ve already handled the Sufu on extreme mishandling and partly. Problem started with unround motor running. I’ve done the following: Coils are already new, but again tested with others – no improvement idle controller cleaned – without improvement gasoline pressure regulator/limiter removed and the small gasket replaced because this was porous – while standing the car about 2 weeks. Car started and see there – runs wonderful, ABER: Now the engine knocks (video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_Ohl7LMk6Y&feature=youtu.be ) Have the screws pulled from the scrumptle to the turbo and 2, which were bolted out also lightly? The suck-up curved screws are still pulled – thanks to loose under and pressure hoses (the thin ones) were already controlled and neatly attached (something to change) – no remedy- and filter change with 5Wanks is not possible.

Hello, I got a nice V40 from 1996 with 85 kw at 225700 km into my hands. The good piece comes from loving hands we look good, got TÜV a year ago without complaint and is well maintained. Runs clean, everything well except for a little rockfall on the hood and a few small scratches/macks. Unfortunately he does not have a roof rail but only on each side three recording points (grey stoppers in grey plastic profile). Since I want to mount a roof box, I probably need the rails. Is this for subsequent installation (without ripping off the roof sky) or is it such a plug-in system…? And is there the manual somewhere to download…? Thank you! …it is my first Volvo!

Hello, I have a V40 Bj. 3/99 Diesel with climate (I think manually, because I can not set a degree number, but can only control the heat regulation). In other articles I read that the lamp replacement should be relatively easy. I could simply pull off the buttons of the two switches (ventilation strength and direction of the air supply). But then comes a white plastic part with 2 “nips”, which can not be pulled out easily. Did the two “nips” with pliers bend a bit inwards, but the thing still could not move out of the disguise. To break nothing, I stopped this attempt. Can anyone give me a hint? Many greetings!

Hello people, after I have now tightened the charging air and turbo hoses in several places and replaced the seal at the suction bridge, my problem with the pressure loss is not solved. Again my problem: When I give gas I hear air escapes like somewhere. Sometimes louder, sometimes quieter and sometimes not at all. The “not at all” is (my observation after) only when the car has stood longer, mostly when it has been warmed up by the sun. When I speed up, the turbo nicely builds up pressure and then quickly walk away from the gas, I hear again how the excess air escapes somewhere where it should not. At least it sounds like that for me. That’s a blow-off… as I said, when the car has stood up, this is not the case (sometimes) but I can’t predict now when everything is in order and when it doesn’t. That comes and just goes away… So now my question: Is there any easy way to check all air hoses for cracks etc.? All I’ve come to, I’ve already looked at and feel like it’s not like a little bit of trouble.

In recent times, buyers of vehicles are also increasingly coming into the forum, whose vehicles have been bought as leasing backers or used cars. Often, the purchase decision seeks details for comparison, which are derived from the price lists of the respective model years. I would like to collect the price lists for the vehicles of the SPA- (60s and 90s series) and the CMA-platform respectively, if necessary create FAQ-articles daruas and thus bundle the price lists centrally and thus offer a central point of contact. I would like to concentrate on the German price lists first If therefore someone has price lists lying around as PDF of the model years from 2016, please post them here – I will sort them accordingly. Helpful information in the post about note: Please limit discussions on the content of the price lists to the absolute minimum – otherwise the last bit of clarity suffers.

Hello, municipality! maybe someone can give me a hint: my V40, 80 KW, EZ 06/2000 makes me feel after several weeks of standing outdoor problems, which were previously definivly not recognizable in the set: it is from the front axle (thought it would be at the back) a jerking/pulsing to feel (all city traffic speed, higher sw. not tested yet), and when I then on the brakes climb up (strong or weak = no matter) the brake pulsates very strongly and you can feel the whole thing very clearly in the pedal! brake effect is however excellent as always…! no grinding noise to hear – thought only on rust on the disk. what can that be? at other places I read from loose brake disc!? but how should the suddenly loose, if the car stood for weeks only? problem occurred already on the first meter! who knows what? many gruesses from HH andreas

Need help Have cooling water loss has to refill 0.5 liters 1 times a week and when the engine is cold, the balance tank is under high pressure it does not enter any water thinking it will be burned in oil is also not water to recognize think it is the head gasket that has a Ries If I have to change on what I have to pay attention to was told that the valve cover has to be chipped because of the camshafts if someone can give me some answers and tips I can very gratefully MFG.Trolly

Hello together, I didn’t get smart with the sufu. With my 2004 V40 the rubber is gone at the roof antenna. I wanted to replace it now with one that also has dab. Before I cut off the sky, I wanted to get the right adapters. Can someone tell me which plug the normal radio cable is connected with?

Hello, our 03 V40 1.8 petrol truck has been speeding since yesterday. The car starts normally, runs evenly in idle mode and if you carefully keep the speed running nothing. If you step through a little harder, however, the engine jerks like crazy. What could that be? The camshaft adjuster, as well as timing belts were renewed by Volvo for a lot of money before about 500km. But before the replacement the car ran significantly better and without jerking. Could there be a connection?
