How do you turn on headlight wipers on 2003 Volvo s40?
There is no separate control for the headlight wipers.
Depending on the year, the washer works several different ways.
If it's new, you just need to hold the washer for an additional few seconds and they will engage then. If you have an older model, they will work either every 3rd time you use the windshield washer, ( I've also read every 5th time ),or they have a small reflective square at the bottom of the light and if light reflects back, they will engage.
I've also read that the headlights needed to be on for them to work.
Something you need two people to check,
Hope this helps.

How to get Step by step instructions on changing engine oil on Volvo s40?
How to Change Your Motor Oil Introduction Plan to change your motor oil every 3,000 miles or every 3 months if you want to be on the safe side, but know that most cars no longer require an oil change after every 3,000 miles. You will not damage the engine by letting it run 4,000 miles in between oil changes. However, if you've been driving in very hot and/or dusty conditions you should stick to the 3,000 mile schedule, or even more frequent changes. Instructions Difficulty: Moderately Challenging Getting Ready Things You'll Need · Old Rags · Ratchet Sets · Car Jacks · New Oil Filters · Car Manuals · Funnels · Oil Drain Pans · Oil Filter Wrenches · Plastic Containers · Jack Stands · Rubber Gloves · Socket Sets · 4 - 5 quarts motor oil · Car Creepers Steps Step One Gather necessary tools and materials (refer to Necessary Items list). If you plan to change your oil regularly, consider investing in jack stands, a socket set and an oil drain pan. Step Two Run the car's engine for 10 minutes before you drain the oil. Warm oil drains faster than cold oil. Step Three Park the car on a level surface, engage the parking brake and turn off the engine. If your car has a low clearance, raise it by driving it onto a ramp or by jacking it up and supporting it securely. Step Four Open the hood and place the new oil and funnel on top of the engine to ensure that you won't forget to add oil afterwards (an expensive mistake that many do-it-yourselfers make!). Tips & Warnings · Consult your owner's manual or an automotive parts specialist to find out the weight of oil and type of oil filter your car needs. · You'll need the year, make, model and mileage of your car if you go to an auto parts store. · Make sure the car is securely supported before you crawl underneath. · You will need two jack stands to support the front of your car after jacking it up. Never get under a car that is supported only by a jack! A pair of jack stands costs less than $20. Draining the Oil and Changing the Oil Filter Steps Step One Crawl under the car once it is securely supported. Step Two Locate the oil drain plug on the underside of the engine, usually near the front center of the car. Consult your owner's manual for the exact location. Step Three Place the oil drain pan under the plug and loosen the plug with a socket wrench. Remember: turn counterclockwise to remove bolts. Step Four Remove the plug by hand. Be prepared for the rush of hot oil! Step Five Let the oil drain into the pan. Hold onto the plug. Step SixReposition the pan, if necessary, to catch all the dripping oil. Step Seven Wipe off the drain plug and the plug opening when the oil finishes draining. Step Eight Replace the drain plug gasket. Step Nine Reinstall the plug. Always start threading any bolts or screws by hand to prevent cross threading. Step Ten Tighten with a wrench or socket. Be careful not to overtighten the plug. Step Eleven Locate the existing oil filter. Oil filters are usually on the side of the engine. Step Twelve Position the oil pan underneath the filter to catch any remaining oil. Step Thirteen Use an adjustable oil filter wrench to unscrew the old oil filter. Step Fourteen Use a rag to wipe the area where the filter mounts to the engine. Make sure the rubber seal of the old filter is not stuck to the engine. 15 Step Fifteen
Use some new oil to lightly coat the rubber seal of the new filter. Step Sixteen Screw the new filter into place by hand. It's usually not necessary to tighten the oil filter with the oil filter wrench, but have it at the ready if you're grip's not strong (or large) enough. Tips & Warnings · Wear gloves to remove the plug if it's hot. · It's always best to replace the oil drain plug gasket. · Use the right size wrench or socket. Don't use an adjustable wrench: you can strip the bolt. · Handle hot automotive oil with extreme care. · Be careful when removing the old oil filter. It's full of oil. Installing New Oil and Cleaning Up Steps Step One Locate the oil filler cap on top of the engine. Remove it. Step Two Place the funnel in the opening and pour in the new oil. Typically, you will use 4 to 5 quarts of oil. Check your manual for the correct oil capacity. Step Three Replace the cap when you're finished. Step FourRun the engine for a minute, then check the dipstick. Add more oil if necessary. Step Five Check the area around the oil drain plug and the filter for oil leaks. Tighten the plug or oil filter if you find leakage. Step Six Use rags and newspapers to wipe away excess oil. Step Seven Pour the used oil into a plastic container after the used oil cools. Step EightDispose the used oil properly: either bring it to a recycling center or an auto repair shop that can recycle it for you. Don't pour it down the sewer! Tips & Warnings · Record the date and mileage after you change the oil so you will know when your car is due for another oil change. It helps to put a small sticker on your windshield to remind you. · Handle hot motor oil with extreme caution. · Only dispose of used motor oil and filters at authorized locations.

Where is the air filter on a 2005 Volvo S40?
Where is the CABIN air filter?
The cabin filter is located in the worst spot ever for a part that should be replaced every 12,000 miles. It is next to the gas pedal which is a hard part to reach. What you need to do is pull down the carpeting next to the gas pedal, remove the plastic panel that covers the area under the stearing wheel. (this may not be required, but gives you way more room to move around.) Then you need to take off 3 10mm nuts to get the gas pedal out. This is purely an electronic pedal so once you take the 3 nuts off the pedal will still be connected to the wires but you can swing it out of the way. After this you can remove the screws that hold the cover of the cabin air filter housing. This was probably THE MOST FRUSTRATING service I have ever done to any car I have ever owned. It may be worth it to just have the dealer do it. You need a long and flexible socket extension to get at the nuts. I am not sure why Volvo put it in such a horrible position. It sounds like it was in a better spot in previous years. -afcab
Actually, it is much easier than the last post. All you need to do is open the hood, remove two screws from a rectangular plastic box in front of the latch, where the air intake tube is and then slide the panel out that was fastenedwith the screws you removed. That panel, which you will see after you slide it out, contains the air filter. It's that easy!!The previous guy who posted the other directions must work for a dealer. Under the gas pedal...whatever!
The answer that I crossed out is pertaining to the engine air filter. This discussion is to where the CABIN air filter is. Which is precisely where I described it in the first paragraph at the top. Why would working for a dealer change the location of the filter?

Why my rear lights in Volvo S-40 don't work?
If all of them are out you probably blew a fuse. There are multiple fuse boxes located in the vehicle. Check your manual to see whuch one has the taillight fuses. When you find it go through the row of fuses and try to locate a blown. Also demate and remate any associated relays. This will givw you a fresh contact surface electrical bond incase one might be corroded.
I'm guessing the hazard switch wont turn off. I had the same problem in my 2000 S40. You'll have to take off the the climate control dash panel (with the three dials for heating/a/c controls), and unscrew the the top panel with the air ducts (this is the panel with the hazard switch on it). It will take some work to pry this panel out - and the ducts should come with it. Once it's out, locate the wire harness at the back of the hazard switch and unclip/remove the harness. Now you should be able to just slide the switch out of the back of the duct panel.
Remove and replace, then reverse this process for install.

Timing marks for Volvo S40 1997 1.8?
Look at the inside and top of the plastic timing cover that goes over the top of the engine where spark plugs are. (This is the backside if you have the face of timing belt exposed). There should be two notches on the underside of the top of plastic cover. Line up the raised line on each cam with each notch on plastic cover. And for the crankshaft mark, look behind the harmonic balancer, there are teeth showing thru on a gear, and on the backside of two teeth are little notches. Line up the valley between the two notches with a raised line (very small) just above that gear, on the face of engine. All marks should line up at the same time. It helps to color the raised lines with pink colored chalk. It makes it stand out. Good luck.
