Hello! My V40 seems to be an infinite story about defects Now that I thought everything was OK, the next thing comes: it cracks while driving – when driving as well as in the stand. If I want to park for example and stand it when hitting the steering wheel: “Knack… Knack…Knack.” (no matter which direction) And even when driving this noise is there. Two weeks ago, both springs were renewed in front, 3 months ago the drive shaft joints included discs and brake pads. Could there be again now???? Power steering??? Any bearings?? Greetings

Hello together, in advance…. the SuFu was used, but didn’t make me any smarter. I also got the phenomenon on my moose that it jerks and rubs when braking. As the first measure the crossbars were exchanged on both sides because they were over. Schwubs, old out and new in. The jerking actually became less. However, it is still clearly present in braking from high speeds. I now type that it is about the brake discs. One of the small countersunk head screws that hold the brake disc in position. I can’t detect any movement in the disc when the wheels are mounted, but very well when the wheel is dismantled. Is that normal? Can it be that the scratching comes from braking? I also have quite strange brake discs on it. They have a “ventilation groove”. Do you have that too or is it such a strange tuning part that no one needs? My previous owner had where Hl a little tuning spleen that I have been able to gradually rebuild so far. I also have the feeling that the tumbling occurs differently. Does anyone know what?

Hello forum, my V40 1.9TD with 270,000 km has become 13 years old this month, and now a ZKD is broken. The car is actually driving very well, no bump, and rust I have not found yet. However, I got a very tempting offer for a new car and will probably want to say Adieu to the moose. From payment was advised by the car dealer as not profitable. Now I ask myself the following question: Should I still invest the 1.5 TEuro in the repair and then sell it or sell it like that? How much would you want to invest in such a car (i.e. what basis should I take to negotiate with potential buyers)? Look forward to your well-founded advice, which is often proven here!

Moin die Herren und Damen, I would like to join their club of Volvo owners, but I am totally confused because I can’t really decide for anyone. I have the choice between one: S40 2.0 with 160 hp Bj 98 new timing belts in it. 137,000 km S40 1.9 T4 with 200 hp Bj 98 did not run a new timing belt. 130,000 run Priced is the S40 2.0 a thousand cheaper. Is the with 160 hp from the performance much weaker than the T4? As the T4 is a hell machine. You already realize that I am totally overwhelmed. Search now for a good one for 2 months and I have only until 19.1 time to find something. Hope you can advise me a little. Mfg Moe

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
