Hello everyone, have a problem. My petrol pump in the tank has given up the spirit and during the removal yesterday also the hose connection of the bezin hose was broken off. These were unfortunately only made of plastic… Now I have just found a pump of a 1.8er. Now my question, does it fit with me or is it different? Here’s the link to the pump:http://www.ebay.de/…/181597229479?… I have a V40 Kombi, BJ. 1999, 1.6 The part is just 20km away from me and I would like to get and rebuild it if it fits today… Thanks already to all

Hello, I’m thinking of getting a Volvo V40. Should my first (own) car be, since I’m a student money also plays a role. I saw that there are quite well equipped V40s (climate, cruise control, leather) starting from 1000€, but with relatively high running speeds ~180,000km+. Is it nevertheless recommended, if these models are properly maintained? Because of control (and consumption) I would prefer one of the smaller engines (1,8L 122hp). Or are the 2.0l engines more robust? Are around 8-10l consumption realistic? Is the maintenance too expensive? Or is it worth it to get a V70? Budget is about 2500, too. Thank you for the effort in advance greetings!

My v40 has only started very badly for a week. It’s one with gas and petrol. I did: petrol pressure regulator changed. Temperature sensor changed. New spark plugs New ignition coils throttle valve cleaned airfilter new suction nozzle cleaned Exactly it looks like it doesn’t start cold at all but you notice that it somehow wants to be very short. Warm it is a lucky thing to give gas. Under operating temperature it jumps well when I have to run on petrol on gas also not at all. Can someone help me further? In addition, it goes on gas in the standGas constantly out because I have a climate then it starts with 500 revolutions With the help of my start-up spray

Hello! As a convinced Volvisti for more than 20 years I bought my daughter as a beginner car a S40. The car had no radio, so I bought a Naviceiver and he can play DVDs, which he of course should not during the ride! Therefore the question, where I can easily get the signal of the handbrake from, without the half car to disassemble. Has someone possibly also installed a Naviceiver and can give me appropriate tips? The GPS receiver also has to be accommodated somewhere so that he does not disturb the airbags and, if it is optimally running, he is not to be seen. Oh, and even if I will not use this for the first time, there may be a chance to attack the signal for the return journey right away at the opportunity? At the S40 daughter should get out without a corresponding camera, but if it is already possible, then I could at least take the signal off. Thanks for your help in advance!

Hello together I bought a Volvo V40 from 2001 as a winter car and read out errors directly 🙁 – Communication, immobilizer – Switch valve, Variable camshaft – Inlet camshaft(A) Position control too early (row1) – Belt front clamp Ignition pill Driver side, signal faulty – Driver safety belt, value too low – SRS warning lamp – Deep battery voltage That was it then first with error…. I have no idea how I can fix the errors except for the low battery voltage… I ask for help

Hello and welcome to my problem ?? I have a problem with my elk girl Volvo v40 115hp with the indicator (electron. engine control ) Was read in the friendly error, he said Lambda probe is defect. Have a new built-in, but the problem always appears. Start leg of the engine is all in order also when driving, but as soon as I stop at the traffic light and stand or slowly drive through the village the warning light goes on, or even if the engine runs a while in the stand (not blinking ) when I continue driving, I also notice no loss of engine power, even in the stand whether the warning light electron. Engine control is running nicely calmly. Only from the start it does not do! For this I have to turn off the engine for Ca 2-3 minutes, when restarting it is then off, I can not stop then or drive slowly. Have meanwhile bought twolamda probes and changed again, the complete air intake tract, all hoses replaced, even the secondary air pump (which was actually defective), the exhaust light, and the exhaust system can help me and all?

Moin, the last year I bought a used car for the first time, which is chic and also up to a few blemishes, spotless, but personally me too small, just on long trips. I have a body size of 198 and a balanced leg/upper body size ratio. Now an acquaintance has inherited a Volvo V40 1.8 which she would sell and I consider whether that might be an alternative to mine. Insurance is about the same (combi = 40 euro / year more) data are about: Volvo V40 1.8 with 95 KW / petroler 204,000 KM Careed First registration 03/2001 My current: Seat Ibiza Stella v12 47KW 165,000 KM First registration 04/2004 Now my questions: What is the durability of the V40 1.8, just because of the high mileage? Does something talk about a combo, if I only rarely drive in the city? Can I possibly retrofit a parking aid without problems? What are so general experiences, especially in relation to repeats, durability etc. Would you say that there is a good thing about the good thing that is going on for the good thing, and that there is a good thing to be happy about my visit.

Did the camshaft wheels escape at the B 4204S – 2,0 (old dog with 148 teeth) before the timing belt disassembly, so that I can fix them with the adjustment line. The plug-off pin that comes in behind the starter to block the crankshaft, however, does not block anything there as soon as the camshaft wheels are aligned – at most my mood, because I have the feeling that the crankshaft is still at least 1/4 revolution (more) too far behind when the camshafts are already correctly aligned. Can it be that the ZR has skipped the previous owner? I noticed nothing of sloppy engine power so far. Only when it is very low in the speed cellar, it has a single offset from time to time when the accelerator is being accelerated, but what I returned to the old candles. Cold as well as warm the engine is so far clean and soft. How far can the position of the KW deviate to the normal position without taking any damage to the valves or head? As I said – it is the impression, it is not delivered at all.

Hello everyone. I have a V40 Kombi Bj.98. I am despairing at the fog closeer even though there is good information about it here. But maybe someone has the serious tip for me. The said lamp does not want to funze. I was allowed to try out the light switch from a Volvo V40 Bj. 97 just arrived at the scrap yard, but without success. There is no click, no visible lamp in the display from the tacho and of course no juice arrives at the rear. However, I have an AHK and an ECHTEN ELCH. That means it burns immediately light, as well as I turn on the ignition!!! Now my question has someone the IDEE?? which cable color to the rear light should I look (eventual break?) so that I can exclude the next error? in 4 days I have to present the elk again at the tuv. In advance thanks to the elk father I have a V40 Kombi Bj.98.

Hello. I’m thinking of buying a replacement for my Golf 4, 1.4 LPG. It should be a little bigger, more comfortable and more powerful. It’s clear to me that it can never be cheaper than with the car gas engine, that a fuel-efficient diesel should fit every day at 100km. I noticed the following offer:https://suchen.mobile.de/…/282554428.html?action=parkIt’s clear that the price for the km and the age seems quite high, but I like the (obviously very good) condition of care and the equipment. (especially Xenon + stand heating can not often be found in “reasonably” motorized diesels), moreover, first possession. Only the necessary axle measurement makes me a bit of trouble. How do you find this V40?
