Hello dear moose community! I have been carrying around for a long time with the question of using an additive fuel engine system cleaner in this case for petrol at full tank. What kind of diesel engine of the V40 also exists from the manufacturer LIQUI MOLY. My engine has now overcome the brand 150,000 km without that was a big damage from the engine. I would like to know from you now whether you can use such an additive without reservation for petrol or diesel or not? I release this topic for discussion and I expect a big participation! Those of you who only read here write your comment in. No one here will bite you. Nice greeting from Torsten

Hello! Need your help Volvo V40 T4 1.9 Gasoline Year 03/1999 – When the tank is full the car is quite normal – When the tank indicator is 45 liters, it dries several times 1 sec at full gas as if it did not get enough gasoline, with moderate gas giving or constant gas giving no to seldom jerk. – When the tank indicator is 30 liters, the car is jerking as strong as if the tank was empty. That gets worse and I have to refuel otherwise the car stops, has already happened to me. What can that be? The Volvo garage has told me 100% the petrol pump. Gerstern built a new pump, has not solved the problem. – Petrol pump relays? – Injection nozzles? – Ignition plugs? – Petrol filter? or what do you think about it?

Hi to everyone! I already have a Volvo V40, but it’s not the power bomb, because it’s a tired (210,000Km) Renault TDI with 95Ps. And now I wanted to ask you what to consider when buying a T4. How long does it last if you drive a lot of motorway (150-170Km/h)? Can you expect 200,000km? How fast is it from 0-100? So about the 7sec or worse? So, I look forward to your knowledge, since I only know the V40 in the diesel version!

Hello everyone! I’ve been having a little problem with my moose for a few days. When I’m driving at low speed (no matter which gear) such a funny glaring noise comes from the lower part of the car. It sounds like a chirping cricket. But the noise can only be heard at speeds of approx. 1000 rpm to 1500 rpm. The sound can only be heard when I’ve been driving. Has anyone ever heard such a thing or has someone ne Iddee? I am grateful for every advice.

Hello, I would like to buy a Volvo V 40 soon. In principle I would be more interested in a petrol engine. Depending on consumption and maintenance costs I would also choose a diesel. If I want to drive the Volvo V40 as cheaply as possible, which engine should I choose? Does nothing need to be agile, I would only like to come from A to B cheaply. So which is the most economical diesel and which is the most economical gasoline engine and how much do the engines consume? Greetings and thanks, Felix

Hello! Since the extensive use of the search function did not help me, I open up a new topic. I know that in some Fred times links were mentioned, but I did not find it again. So the following: with me (or my elch v40 bj. 01/97 1.8 l 115 hp;184000 km) a few smaller reperatures are necessary, which I would like to do with the help of a expert friend. Since I also want to get the parts myself, I need help from you. Maybe you can also give me tips, with which you have had good experiences. The following things are: – air filter – oil plus – filter – Stabi’s rear axle – pollen or interior filter – brake blocks front – lock back (has someone experiences with it?) – ignition candles – shock absorbers (where I want to have them tested again, since I lack a comparison) – luggage cover holder at the back Otherwise my elch (laut durchsicht) makes a very good impression! Neither rust nor Macken! I thank you for the help for your Leo service already!

Hello dear Volvo community, I might like to buy the following Volvo V40 from private: Volvo V 40 T4 black metallic EZ: 01/2000 KM: 94,000 manual transmissions TÜV/AU: 01/2009 Special equipment: air conditioning, Volvo CD radio, metallic and fog lights. The condition should be flawless. Garage vehicle. Accident-free. 1. Hand, stapled, non-smoking. Winter tyres are also included (all tyres in good condition – profile approx. 6-7mm). The seller wants EUR 8,600,- and is ready to take the Volvo a test at the DEKRA (DEKRA seal). What do you think about this offer? Is the price ok? And another question: I would like to upgrade the Volvo to car gas after purchase (about EUR 2150,- cost). I drive about 15,000km a year. Do you think the upgrade makes sense, given the age and the running performance of the Volvo?

Moin together, I wanted to change my Volvo V 40 Bj 2000 engine 1.8 petrol sucker the timing belt, Wapu, tensioner, ULR… and the camshaft sealing ring (inlet, front side). I forgot to lock the camshaft in the icy of the battle. Doof, I know. . So I released the bolt from the inlet gear with the impact wrench. Except for the bolts nothing moved. Now I do not know if the camshaft did not stretch a piece. It did not feel moved. Nevertheless, my question is now whether I can see, for example, on the camshaft sensor wheel as the OT position of the camshaft is. I have not found any markings for the shaft. Ot position for the gear wheel is clear, but since it is an adjustable gear, this is not fixed on the shaft. I am grateful for every tip.

Hello, this topic has been discussed many times lately, but no one could say more precisely about it… My V40 1.8 special edition has a full leather equipment, but (unfortunately) without seat heating – which I would like to retrofit now with ORIGINAL PARTS. Upon request with Volvo directly, this would be possible if the car is “pre-wired”. Otherwise this wiring would have to be done. The first dealer was of the opinion that my V40 was not wired, but the second confirmed that the wiring was available. According to the second dealer, then only 2 switches, 1 relay and 2 heating elements would be installed. …What does this look like with wiring? Is it done with the simple installation of the switches and plugs? And how is this with the famous seam in the middle of the seat, must be locked off the seat for the original heating cushions? What does this look like afterwards? Would the experts among you really super grateful for a quick answer!

Hello together, I have a rather urgent problem with my parents’ Volvo V40. Since yesterday the fan or the interior fan no longer works. 1. guess: fuse. I checked. 100% OK (because it is the same for the disc heating and this works or does not work if the appropriate fuse is missing). 2. guess: blower motor defective. Plugs pulled and bridged with a 9V battery (unfortunately nothing else…). Blower ran, although only very weak because of the battery, but it ran. Then measured the plug with a voltmeter. Ignition off -> 0.00V; ignition on -> 0.30V; No change if I have “regulated” on the fan controller. 3. guess: the two plugs next to the fan plugs put in any relay or something like that (which I believe belong to the fan control) both plugs individually pulled off and all contacts (1x 3 and 1x 4) measured. Sometimes there were 0.00V and sometimes 11V. But there was never a change when I turned on the fan controller.
