Hello, As seen in the picture, the temperature of my V40 is a little high this remains almost unchanged even there whether I drive or stand. However, the temperature does not rise any further. I had the same problem last weekend, then left the car standing from Saturday evening to Monday noon, ordered me a CO reaction test at Amazon (Good but with good reviews therefore I do not want to summon the function of the test 100 percent!). However, this is negative. Then I went off on Monday afternoon to see what happens to determine after more than 20km of mixed drive that the car probably has self-healing powers. So until yesterday afternoon(Thursday) I started to loosely 300km + without any further abnormalities. Now I noticed Thursday evening after longer driving that the fan runs constant at first level and also after and during about 30km of driving does not run out. After turning off the engine he ran after and then went out. Today I start driving, engine gets warm fan jumps at temperature up to the point on the picture (fan on top of the highest stages) I can not turn off the engine again at 20km.

Hello, I recently got a Volvo V40 BJ. 98 (probably Mj.99) with a 1.8l petrol engine (it’s the engine from the Renault cooperation) and a manual gearbox. He ran without problems until now until I put off the car the day before yesterday (until then no signs of bitching) and he just didn’t want to start in the evenings. Symptoms: – Symbol immobilizer extinguishes – Starter turns the engine but does not start – due to some measurements we replaced the crankshaft sensor on suspicion, but did not bring anything – As it looks no spark, measurements of the two ignition coils leave but suspect that it’s not on the coils – I still have a KKL cable lying around here and have worried about the test version of VOL FCR. Interestingly, however, I do not come to all the control units but – the engine control unit. Now I don’t know of course – the next thing is that it’s on the cable, the software or the control unit? – The safety for the petrol pump and the engine control unit is in order, the control unit is not on the control unit.

My V40 T4 (built in 2003) will now be exactly 10 years old in a few days. He still purrs like a kitten and does his name all honour! Okay… he was always cared for and is of course a checkbook. So until now, a new one doesn’t make sense for me. What about you? How old are your elks? And after how many years or KM are you replaced by a new one? Here’s a small video of my elk.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaVB3L6DnWs His 10 birthday is hard to see… and performance-wise, he’s still good at the new one! Greetz

Hello, I’m new and I’m thinking of buying a V40 2.0T. I already have a specific offer: 146Tkm 160PS manual transmission EZ 09/99 HU/AU new climate silver luxury package with on-board computer, FH electric (front and rear), speed control system, ECC climate control, and textile footroom mats; premium design package with double headlights, interior decor inlays, jacquard/leather padding anthracite, light-metal rims 16 inches, and sports leather steering wheel; roof spoiler painted in car color, middle armlahne front and rear, fog lights. Check stitched, winter tires, inspection new as well as 1 year warranty. Unfortunately, I don’t even know about the Volvo’s. What do you think about the Volvo, what would it be worth and what I have to pay particular attention to – even when driving etc? And do you have experience with it when an AHK is with it?

Hello Volvo specialists, my V40 Bj98 has unfortunately no BC and no temperature indicator. After reading many articles concerning the on-board computer I prefer to leave it with the retrofitting because I do not know if the connections are available and whether the control unit has to be unlocked. It is also mainly about the consumption indicator and of course further data would be practical and interesting. Now I am on this offer: Turbo Gauge IV for OBDII incl. 4in1 Scan Auto Computerhttp://cgi.ebay.de/ws/…rack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:de Maybe someone has experience with it or is the thing nix? Thank you and best regards Norbert

Hello Elchfriends!!! Don’t find the right topic where I can explain my problem!! My first contribution here…. has a V40 Bj. 01 100kw! on my yesterday’s ride I noticed strong smoke coming out of the engine compartment! I stopped immediately and looked, when the bonnet opened I hit flames, could immediately delete with snow and everything went well! In the troubleshooting we then found out the engine oil kicked out and ran on the cracker, and had ignited! It has itself lower sheet metal, which is at the rear aggas outlet of the cylinders (so the cracker of the two engine and cockpit is located), a kind of stopper, rubber seal (round) loosened and oil could then run on the cracker. I mean the sheet where a hose is attached, the preheated air transports to the air filter. can tell me someone like this stopper, seal or what this means for a thing and looks like? It is not a screw that can be screwed into the engine block, there is no help me in the threadjo!

But if there were any problems, there would have been no problem with my v40 t4 ph2 (166000km) and there was no problem with it, there was no problem with it. There was no problem with it, there was no problem with it. There was no problem with it, there was no problem with it, there was no problem with it, there was no problem with it, there was no problem with it, there was no problem with it, there was no problem with it, there was no problem with it, there was no problem with it, there was no problem with it, there was no problem with it, there was no problem with it, there was no problem with it, there was no problem with it, there was no problem with it, there was no problem with it, there was no problem with it, there was no problem with it, there was no problem with it, there was no problem with it.

Hello. I have a V40 1,8 Bj 98 and there are the sticky rubbers knocked out. How can you get there? I can’t even see the screw which holds the rubber clamp. So I don’t know which nut size depends on it but to me is a rattle of how to use a tool at all. You can only get there from a wheel box but that’s hardly possible, I don’t understand how this should work. Greeting Joachim

Hello, now that I have replaced a torn steering cuff myself, there is something new: the servo pump “sings”, or hums. Only very quietly, now I hear it in the interior. The higher the speed, the higher it hums. Does anyone know that, and how was it repaired? How fast should I act? Still the servo support is normal, but that the part will get stuck, is probably foreseeable or? It could also be the alternator, but the sound seems to come rather from the servo pump.

Out of curiosity I wanted to ask questions like exactly how your BC indicates the average consumption. I have only a 3 tank filling “experience” but notice that it is each about 0.3 liters below my calculated consumption. In general I notice how low the consumption of the T4 is. I expected with +/- 10 liters with mixed driving mode and occasionally kick. I did not have it for long but regret the purchase in no case. My ’93 Mondeo Mk1 with 1.8 liter engine also allowed 7.5 – 8.5 liters … and there it was much more comfortable to do…. here my ‘bordbook’:http://www.spritmonitor.de/de/detailview/159407.html -> will try to put this into my signature…
