Hello moose driver! Have you read the other day, that the car glass master constantly wanted to be right. But did not find! And what I’m terribly disgusted about. This is never talked about, even of Carrglas not. The front windows are glued into the frame of the cars today. These cars have to stand for more than 24 hours in heated rooms. Until everything is all right! I know from my own experience, the cars stand still for more than 24 hours. How to claim car glass in a few hours is The front windshield is ready to go! How does that work? Are those from the other star you found the other day? Greetings from a moose driver who only drives Volvos: Torsten

Tomorrow together! With which models, respectively equipments there were the rear lights bar in car color? Normally they are all black, as well as the edge of the back window… I last saw one, there was the bar in car color in the case silver. Have also done a picture to you, so that you know which I mean… Thank you! Greeting Joe

Question to the elk specialists: How do I accommodate a 3rd child correctly on the back seat? My elk has two integrated child seats and in between there would still be enough space for a 3rd one. My or THE problem is that no seat increase available in the accessory store fits in in between without covering the belt locks! Is there such a thing from Volvo as “extra”? I couldn’t find anything! Did anyone of you have the problem? Greeting Kurt PSas uploaded to illustrate B Ild is not of mine but very similar!

Hello, would like to embellish my v40 inside a bit!! Have you thought of a cockpit decor made of piano lacquer, but what do you think of these things?? Maybe you have some tips and pictures??

Hello. Since I also have a V40 (165ps; Bj 2002; 185TKM) I think – synchronously of the rising interest prices – more and more often about LPG. Experiences about this? Is the conversion still worth 185TKM? According to the current survey of the driven KM relative to BJ and engine I can not get a clear picture. Too much are the wear differences in distance / city etc. So: What is a conversion cost about and which manufacturer is recommended? I consume approx. 8.5 – 9l /km and can calculate a payback with a driving performance of approx. 20-25KM/a (at approx. 10% extra consumption). Important would be a simple handling and a placement in the wheel pit. A few advices for me? markus.

Hello Leutz… I’ve been thinking about such an idea… Maybe you’re wondering if I have a full-meat – but it doesn’t matter… I’d take it with humor… I like to hear as little as possible of the engine noise. And I’d also like my little one to be a little quieter… Is it possible to keep the V40 under control without much effort? You can buy car insulation like this… Has anyone ever done that before? Does it even bring something? Do you prefer to put it in the engine room or in the car? Interior? Greetings

Hello, my V40 loses some liquid from the exhaust gas turbocharger. It is visible only after a few hundred kilometers on the balance tank. On the garage floor, however, a few drops under the turbo are always visible after parking. I first thought it was a hot screw for the cooling water, or its seal which has become leaking on the turbo (marking on the picture). However, if you take a closer look, the exit point for me can’t be narrowed down so precisely. (S ihe pictures). Would you advise me to try it with a cooler sealant, or are there disadvantages to expect ? MfG

Hello community a friend of mine wants to buy a Volvo V40, but the car has a problem! As long as the car is cold he drives completely normal, he gets warm, he no longer takes gas, swallows himself and then goes out. He meant it feels like steam bubbles when he starts to get warm !!! He also starts again when he has become cold !!! Furthermore he said at the rail valve he produces “air bubbles” petrol pump and petrol pipes have been renewed ! It is about a 97 he with 1855 ccm and 147 kw! Who knows what that could be? Are grateful for every tip, would be a pity if the Volvo is sold elsewhere have already looked over the search but unfortunately not found anything

Hello, also with me the brake fluid circuit light now lights up with steeper curves. According to the search, the three causes of decelerated brake pads clutch receivers defective leak in the system So, since the brakes do not pack 100%, and come very late, a replacement of the brake pads/discs would be the first option. However, since apparently also oil comes out somewhere (legitimately staining in the parking lot), it could also be a leak or defect clutch receiver. It’s a V40 1.9 Disel 75Kw from 2001 Do I have to pay attention to something, or can I order a complete set from e.g. ebay? Greetings Leatherface

Hello together, unfortunately my Volvo V40, BJ 2001 – bought 8 weeks ago – the catalyst is broken. At first we thought that falls under the warranty, but after searching the internet and talking to dealers is probably not quite clear whether the cat is treated as a wear part or not and to avoid legal trouble, we have been able with the dealer to pay 2/3 and we 1/3 of the cost of the repair (first he wanted to make 50/50). 800 euros for the cat as well as a good hour of work, i.e. approx. 950 euros. Now I asked at a part dealer what the cat costs with him and he has called me a price of approx. 480 euros incl. VAT. and of course incl. his span. Original part, just as it is now installed. Am stinkesauer! May the dealer pay over 100% of the material value, if we participate in the costs with a certain percentage? His invoice goes great on… But we pay over 100 euros more! Have cancelled the workshop appointment now, because I don’t have a nerve to renegotiate with him and want to be sure of what the (legal) situation is like here. Have you had similar experiences or can you help me with anything else? Thank you for your help and nice greetings!
