Automatic / manual transmission ? 5. km Stand ? 6. Engine problems had? If yes, which one? 7. Highlight of the engine? 8. Good to improve the engine? Thank you and best regards, V40D3

  • Reserve tires yes or no?

    Good evening, I am just configuring my new V40, which I will order in May. There is the option to order a spare tyre with jack for a small extra charge. My question goes to whether the room (wheel pit) can be used meaningfully in case of a fall or if this is a dead cavity. Take also the variable luggage compartment floor (with the flat surface). Furthermore, I have concerns whether the standard tyre sealant can be a help at all (e.g. if a size happy Easter to the community wishes Harry from Innsbruck

  • Question Battery

    Hi, so I was on the road with my moose for a short time and when I turned off the engine and wanted to see what else in the navigator, he reported “battery condition low” … 5-10 min later I drove again briefly and there was no more news. Since I want to go on holiday on the weekend … should I drive again to another workshop (Volvo dealer here just far away) and have the battery checked (if this is possible (I am a noob)) ? mfG Hora P.S.: The manual verw For the message only on page 238 which the topic but somehow does not take up again.

  • Automatic air conditioning – blower strength – air quality

    Hello! Last October I bought a V40, 2.0 petrol (Facelift model) as a new car. I have an automatic climate control system and this Clean Zone system. Here in the forum I find no problem description of this kind, but every V40 driver I address confirms the following problem: – The automatic climate control blows (especially at the start of the journey) much, much, much too strong, even if it is set to “easy”. blow to 60-90%, where against any other vehicle, any other manufacturer works at such temperatures with 20-30% blower strength. – In summer the blower is also clear when the car cools down at moderate outdoor temperature, significantly stronger than with any other car – the air is really sticky, especially in the first about 20 minutes after driving. Especially in winter I have the feeling I could cut the air, it is so thick that you can hardly breathe it in. In the S However, the problem is not quite as bad as in winter. – Controlling ventilation strength manually doesn’t work well either, because the Volvo cools/warms already very aggresive, if you take the air conditioning automatically the ventilation strength becomes the outflowing air again colder/heater, so it is really not nice anymore. In every other vehicle my basic setting is 22 degrees on car. This works in every vehicle all year round, I never have problems in other cars. I already try to set it to 18 degrees in winter and in summer to 27 degrees so that the air conditioning doesn’t roll out as fast as usual, but the problems also exist there (ventilation still turns up too high, only stops a little earlier) and it’s not the desired temperature. I hope I find here a couple of people who can understand my problem or have suggestions for solutions. Thank you in advance PS: The hose from the air conditioning system under the A merturenbrett hissing loudly, obwolh that should be supposed to be no more in the 2017 model

  • Exhaust gas cleaning

    Hello, I’m just a lot on the road, today in the traffic jam came in the display the error message, check exhaust gas cleaning. Now I would have to drive by Wednesday still about 1500km. Can I go and then into the workshop or is that too dangerous? Is a V40 CC from 2016 29000km and D2 with 120hp, next service in/02/19 Greetings Dirk

  • Buy 2 years old car with 0 kilometers???

    Hi, I’m currently dealing with a small luxury problem. We’re looking for a vehicle for my daughter, with which she can complete her regular (longer) journeys from September. After some search, “man” has shot himself on a car (V40cc), which has the following special feature: EZ in December 2016, but since that does not move, in other words, it is still in delivery. The price is now very decent. On the one hand I say to myself: hey, price fits, everything is good. r other side: why has it been standing for 1.5 years? The seller of course sees no problem: one would have bought a lot of V40 and this one is just over, but why??? Sure: Check tires on stand plates, oil new, complete inspection. But otherwise?

  • Vea motor 2.0 122 heico

    Moin, has one already the Heico optimization on the T2 2.0 122PS Vea engine on it? Heico offers it to bring the engine to 190Ps. That would be the T4 only from Heico. The basic engine, turbocharger and Co are identical from T2 – T3, so I’m not worried about the extra power. In addition, the box from Heico eh is only active when the engine is warm. Does anyone else drive the T3-4 and is satisfied with the performance? Mine just feels worn out. (when buying Heico was already in the Pla (Parliament adopted the legislative resolution)

  • Diesel tuning (basic possibilities?!)

    Hello together, I am interested in basic tuning possibilities with a diesel engine. The common measures with a turbo petroler are long known from the media. Larger turbo, downpipe exhaust, collection of charging air cooler tarpaulin software etc. But what is there for the diesel besides the well-known chip tuning?? What possibilities are there to get out of a diesel more??

  • Question about the trunk

    N’Evening and sorry for the stupid question, but I had my car evaluated today, because after 2 very nice test drives I will probably separate myself from the Klein-Elch. Now I have just unloaded the trunk and something looks different. Could someone please look in the trunk with you? There are on the left and right near the loading edge 2 black plug-like things, where then probably the flap snaps? Well, they are suddenly white with me… but were probably black before. I The black things, found a photo on the internet, they go off with you, are there combs over it or something? Maybe they then accidentally or unexpectedly made the combs? Does anyone happen to know what they really mean? What are they good for? Do they do what? Thank you and nice evening Susanne

  • Error Rest Current – Problem Start Stop

    Hello, I am now already a few months proud owner of a V40 CC D4 MJ 2014 with Heico power increase, but already have the following problem: The rest current is too high, which causes the battery(s) to empty slowly and as a symptom (so far only) start stop does not work fully due to lack of current. According to the protocol the following error code exists: CEM-B109F09 Average rest current – component error Status: Error code is active. he batteries of course fully charged and start-stop functioned without any problems even with almost cold engine. However, if I drive only about 6 x 30 km per week, then I could observe that start-stop only worked from operating temperature or not at all (e.g. “Error electric system” according to start-stop display). The Volvowerkstatt installed various software updates and replaced the small start-stop battery. In addition, the Heico accessories (performance increase, illuminated once-in-a-lifetime) were replaced. After the main battery was replaced for a new one, the “Electronic system error” in the display no longer exists at the start stop, since it now seems that it could better intercept the power loss during short distance and 1 day without driving. But start stop only works after the engine has operating temperature (on the day after Langs). In addition, the main battery in cold condition is about 12.15 volts and in the fault memory there is still a problem with the rest current. Have you already had similar problems or ideas, how this could be solved? Volvo has proposed as the next “therapy” the replacement of the engine fan (!?) … I would be very grateful for any help, since I have already visited my Volvo dealer several times unsuccessfully and I don’t want to call the breakdown aid if it gets frosty outside and the battery is sluggish after for example 3 days without driving….
