Category: Volvo V40 2 Forum

Hello, Does anyone know if the new driving beam from the facelift of the larger models in the MJ2014 might also come for the V40? I don’t mean the automatic fade off, but the “shading mechanism”, where the opposite is deliberately hidden. https://www.media.volvocars.com/…/Preview.aspx?mediaid=48103 I would like to find this an exciting feature.

Hello! I’m still quite new here in the forum and fresh Volvo owners. I have a V40 Cross Crountry T4 AWD automatic, annual car since the end of December. So it’s all good so far, but at the moment I’m unsure of one of my assistance systems. The car has a cruise control and can also use radar to keep distance to cars ahead. If he does everything well, I put him in the city at 50 and at the greatest possible distance, he drives well behind the car in front of me. r, stops at traffic lights etc. It becomes funny when I drive behind a car and then switch to a left turn lane. The car accelerates then, if he before because of the front man eg only 30 drove on 50 and races on the cars, which are already in the lane in front of the traffic light, without braking. You then have to get into the iron quite quickly, otherwise he would probably crash in. I ask myself now if this is normal. Should he not also like before the front Fa after the lane change He also recognizes vehicles that shear in front of him and he also seems to notice those at the traffic lights, because the distance alarm lights and flashes and horns when you let it do it for the first time, but he doesn’t stop. Can someone say something? I haven’t had a car with such systems so far, my father’s Audi has no problems and doesn’t behave like that, according to his information. Would I really be happy if someone could help. Greetings, Sabrina

Hey together, I have a more technical question: If it comes to a V40, I would probably decide between a D2 and a D3. I’m on the road at about 50,000 km/year. The price difference in itself is not so big with 1,300€. But how about the particle filter system? With my 1.6D in the C30 the filter had to be changed at 120,000km and we all know that this is not cheap. Is it not with the Volvo dies with 5 cylinders so that they have a maintenance-free system (no additive and no new filter)? Does anyone know what it will look like with the V40 D3? That would bring the costs even closer together in the long run with a frequent driver.

Hello. And one more little worry: I observe at my V40 CC Bj. 08/13 more and more that the brake discs in the current season are affected by flying rust already after very short staidness! When I then start the brake lining rubs away quite loudly the rust. At the HA is already about 2mm covering of the disc away. At the front also about 2mm. Short to add: for two weeks rain and no salt, car has just 18.000 km away. What do the coverings look like after 20,000km, covering completely away? ? Thanks for imaginative answers! P.S.: Can bad steel be the cause?????

I didn’t have to change the headlights for the first time, but I didn’t have to change the headlights for the first time. I didn’t have to change the headlights for the first time. I would be happy if you could post your experience with the problem, because I have an upcoming conversation with the Volvo sales representative and would be happy if I could give a few more examples. Would also be nice if you could share a few pictures of the gap measurement on the front headlight, explain why follows below. Now to my story: About 9 months ago I had, like many MJ13 drivers, the problem with the crashing paint on the front and rear bumper for the first time. I also had “happiness” and got both bumpers exchanged, because shortly afterwards Volvo only spent a repainting between the paint pin. About 6 months later, the black plastic came through on both sides again and it was again time for a visit to the workshop. As expected and after quite long waiting time, gave Volvo before that they only had to put a contact pin to get rid of it and my headlight.

Hello, I had trouble refueling the V40 for the first time today. I plugged in the pump gun as usual, but this stopped three or four times directly again. That happens once in a while and I had always pushed it on the pump gun. I then pulled it out completely and put it back in again. Now what was different than usual: In this process, however, a small amount of diesel (about a small coffee cup full) came to me – felt it came out under the tank inlet, at least not out of the gun. After that, I pressed the gun myself first and then also went “automatic refueling”. In the aftermath, I noticed that the whole “tank inlet” had quite a nice game, but can’t remember by the best will whether it was always like that. Funny it comes to me. In the attachment there are two photos. One shows something I suspect to be a hole and the other shows where the diesel was when it came to me. But the photo is only 20km later after the tank was made. Did you have a tank column? Did you have a tank?

In the specialist press, it is often recommended to change the coolant after about 4-6 years, since the additives may be used, even if the frost protection is still available. Is there a service interval on the part of Volvo or is the coolant mostly exchanged with the timing belt after 10 years? Have you already gained experience? Our Volvo is a 2014 T2.

Hello together, so slowly my V has become home, we enjoy every common kilometer and I am still very happy about my choice. Here I have read pretty much all the posts and am still positively surprised by the tone of the handling, I know this from various motorcycle forums unfortunately quite differently …. But now to my concern: Is there a page or an electronic part catalog, such with explosion drawings etc? I know this for my BMW motorcycles, realoem.com, where all the item numbers, zT prices and above all the drawings as screwdriving aid or also with the MB-ETK. I have already seen here from time to time to the Volvo article numbers, but unfortunately no link that helped me. Is there any such thing really only Volvo internal or also freely available? Thank you in advance.
