Hello, I have a v40 built in 2002 with 122 Ps and 1.8 L stroke. The car has now run 140 tkm. Since only days no longer works without any warning of the right and left turn signals. The warning flasher works and also the belt warning system turn signals, but without sound. I have already sent another relay from the recycler and a new Bosch relay. No change. Can it be on the turn signal switch silver? Or maybe also a cable break from the switch to the relay? How to test this easiest. Thank you Björn

Hello people, I’ve never seen anything like that before. The rubber on the key is going to decay into pieces. How far will it still disintegrate? As far as I can’t turn the keys anymore? Incredibly incredible… What kind of junk car did I buy that for myself Are there any solutions for it?

It didn’t last long until the engine control light turned on. At the Volvo I am used to it, which is always connected to the Lamda probe. And the camshaft adjustment is the causer. At the VW Passat P2181, the thermostat. At first very pleasant. Had already noticed that the heating didn’t really want to get in motion. Can’t be a big problem. The thermostat then did not find at all. Then looked at YouTube. The procedure is almost incomprehensible. One has to expand the alternator to get there. And since the one is sitting at the bottom of it, the whole coolant runs out of it. Time to change, and to move that into the spring.

Hello and that I have now bought a Volvo V 40 T4 as I had to fix the side-end light does not work. There is no power at the rear but after switching on comes the symbol in the cockpit. So my question can it be why does he have a trailer coupling possibly because of it???

Hi. Today I had the problem that my car did not want to start. Time was at 0 o’clock when I had tried to start it had constantly ticked and the light up in the ceiling went on and off. As long as I had stopped turning the key. After starting aid it went again. What could this be about? Is the battery maybe still ok and the spark plugs could be broken or something else? In July it came in as used. Was measured and was considered fully zugeo Is not normal the howling sound when the battery is empty and nothing is happening?

Hello dear forum members I borrowed my Volvo V40 T4 from a friend. He let the light burn all night and had to bridge the next morning – strange, because I had used a new battery 4 weeks ago. So far, so good. After that he drove the car to me, but then the box didn’t start anymore. Since it couldn’t be the battery, I used the trick with the knocking on the starter. Then he went on again, in Question: Could there be any connection between the temporarily empty battery and the defective starter? Is it possible to break something with the wrong bridge or are these completely separate systems? Thanks for the answers! Details about the vehicle: Kombi, built in 1998, 200 hp, 1855 ccm, petrol, manual transmission

Hello dear community, unfortunately last night my power steering is dead. All of a sudden the steering is very heavy and on the ground there are oil tracks. Then I have unscrewed the engine cover and have discovered the defective part. Please look at the photos and tell me if there is still something repairable or rather not. If not then I need a spare part. The most important question can be changed yourself without being a car mechanic? Many thanks in the ahead.

Hello, just come from the lift – I have a spring break on the rear right. ATU has made the following offer – please give me your opinion: (Please don’t have opinions like – ATU is anyway crap or something, have made my own experiences) – 2x screw spring incl. installation on the rear 291,08€ The good man pointed out that at the moment the dampers are on offer: -59€ incl. installation/page would mean that I would be almost 400€ for completely new shock absorbers and springs on the rear Is the offer ok? The car is BJ 2001 and has now run about 170,000km. Is it worth it to catch up with other offers (possibly also from Volvo) or is the price real? Thanks and greeting Fabian

Greetings to the round… would like to get some thoughts here… I will drive on 24th or 25th November with my T4 and a fully packed 1300kg trailer from Cologne to Portimao, that is about 2400 km through France, Spain and Portugal… Do you have some tips about the track, do I need winter tyres or do I need to pass my summer bikes, should I take some spare parts with me? Thank you in advance Greetings R

I’m thinking about optimizing a few things in front system and vehicle insulation. Is there a sleigh guide who has converted the audio system of their elks? The aim is a linear sound as far as possible, at moderate volume. I don’t want a disco subwoofer is just something for home cinema for my taste. With music, it only breaks the sound image. I prefer the following: – (if possible) better isolate the outside noise with bitumen – fix all vibrating, snoring parts – besse res install radio – all old boxes out, including the riot box in the rear – install better front system
