Volvo V40

In the context of a Volvo V40, "EXT" typically refers to the "Exterior" settings or features, such as exterior lighting, mirrors, or trim options. It may also denote specific exterior model designations or packages. However, without more context, it's difficult to pinpoint an exact meaning. Always consult the owner’s manual or a dealership for precise information regarding your vehicle.

To close the hood on a Volvo S40, first ensure that it is fully lowered to the latch position. Then, press down firmly in the center of the hood until you hear a click, indicating that it has securely latched. It’s a good practice to check that the hood is properly closed by lifting it slightly to ensure it doesn’t pop back up. Always ensure the hood is completely secured before driving.

To compress the pistons on a Volvo rear disc brake, first, remove the wheel and access the brake caliper. Use a specialized brake caliper tool or a C-clamp to gently push the piston back into the caliper housing. If the caliper has an integrated parking brake, you may need to rotate the piston while pushing it in, so ensure to follow the specific procedure for your Volvo model. Once compressed, you can reinstall the caliper and wheel.

I have a 98 Volvo v40 1.9td. The dashboard lights and their meanings are listed in the owner's manual. If you have lost it they are available online although you may have to pay for it. Or you could give a description of the light on your dash and someone can offer a solution

Volvo tries to charge and arm and a leg and a pinky for their Volvo Transmission Fluid. The fluid is the same as Mobile 3309 transmission fluid. You can also use Toyota's T4 fluid as well. Both cost a FRACTION of the cost of what Volvo charges. And on top of this, I spoke with a transmission place, and they told me that a standard $80 fluid change is all that's needed and that you don't even need any "special" transmission fluid. This latter point is on you to decide. Speak with a transmission specialist and also research with Google about the Mobile 3309, you'll see.

For mine there was a bad sensor and Volvo had to replace it. Initially they want to charge me $125 to run tests and $350 to repair. I called another dealer and they told me that it was under warranty. I am not the original owner, so I would imagine you could get it fixed under the warranty for no charge. - John

I have a 2002 Volvo V40 wagon & checked the shop hours for comparison at Sears. Their on-line service was 2.5 hours. I've changed 940T & 740T wagons w. the B230FT engines, being rear-wheel drive. I wanted a comparison, as the V40 are transverse front-wheel drive. Sears labor rate in Oahu, HI is $100./Hour, or $250. labor. The cam belt sells for $35. to $50. Approx. total cost: $300. I'd also replace the timing belt tensioner. Depending on the year (1996-2004), the mfr recommended replacement is 80K to 96K or 8 years. I change mine at 60K to 80K, depending on wear. I'm not a professional mechanic; rather intermediate + skills, home taught, working on just the 1985-95 turbo wagons for 20+ years. I research on-line before tackling advanced projects.

One can find used Volvo V40 vehicles for sale at local car agencies as well as in local newspaper adds in the vehicles sales section or in the Volvo section.

If your full beam doesn't stay on, make sure your light switch on the console is actually turned to "on".

Unless you've had the daytime running lights disabled, then the lights will be on when switched "off" (!) and this means the full beam doesn't lock on, it only does "flash" mode. When the lights are switched "on", then the full beam should stay on.
