Volvo S40

Most contemporary motor designs are interference. I would not count on it being non-interference. Also, many non-interference designs have larger valve travel due to resonances when operating -- so an engine may be non-interference at idle, but not at high RPMs.

I have the same problem. Car starts right up, runs great on the highway, but the moment i have to stop the car, it stalls. I have noticed it only starts doing this after the car has warmed up to normal running temp. The check engine light continually comes on, then disappears, only to reappear later. It has had the mass airflow sensor replaced twice. This has not solved the problem. Last week i had my wife start the car, while i watched the exhaust. When the car starts to stall, i notice black smoke. A sign that it is running to rich(to much gasoline in the air/gasoline mixture). I suspect the computer is still trying to choke the car as if it is cold, even when it is warmed up. I am finally going to take it to an actual Volvo dealer tomorrow. I will follow up with the results.

Where is the radiator cap on a 2001 Volvo s40?

The battery for the Volvo S40 2004 is under the hood on the driver's side in the front just behind the lights .

It is encased in a black Styrofoam case which lifts straight up to remove.

Best advice is every 3000 miles or every 3 months. whichever comes first. Take care of your Volvo and it will take care of you.

I believe it is a 7mm hex.

We had a light alignment problem on our 2007 S40 and they could not adjust due to the design of the head lights... The fix was to replace the left 2007 S40 head light with a 2008 S40 head light....

The orange arrow you are referring to is on the dash/instrument panel.

It illuminates whenever the car is put into a lower gear other than drive.

you have a wire that is going to ground(electrical short on another wire or piece of metal)
.

the L stands for litre or displacement. As in 1.9 litre engine. Another way to say it is 1900 CC

get a strong flashlight regardless of the lighting. Look very slow front right side of engine look for a small yellow dip stick is very small and "mickey mouse"

5.1 US quarts

That is your airbag unit. Likely a fault or an uncleared code. Take it to your dealer. It's the only way.

If it has the Ford sourced euro 4 engine it is 144k miles or 10 years. There is a lot of conjecture even between dealers. It is a big job for Volvo being about £500 so they'd like to see it done more frequently! This engine runs a shorter belt due to 1 of the cams being chain driven and a desire to reduce the running costs of this engine with it's expensive emissions control system. Ask a Ford dealer to do it and the rates will be far more favourable.

Take the under tray off - 7 torx screws around the edge, you'll find it at the back of the sump roughly in the middle of the engine bay as you look up. Always use a new copper washer when refitting the plug.
