Top 20 2007 Volvo V40 Questions & Answers

Requires a long drive I think,lol.

In some cases you may need to unlock the door but leave the key turned to the unlock position for a few seconds. Aside from that your RF receiver for the signal from the keyless could be at fault. Hope that helps.

Sir We can not by law pass security codes to you. The reason we can not do so is that any thief could steal someones audio equipment ask for the code and profit from your loss. The only legal means of getting the code is to contact the source of purchase for the equipment be it a retailer or auto dealer. They are supposed to verify the VIN & registration of the vehicle with the serial number of the audio equipment. I apologise for not answering your question but this is the best information I can legally pass you. Thanks for choosing FixYa, Kelly

You have a problem with the emmitions most likley the cat'

sounds like a headlight indicator

The lights are just small replaceable bulbs, so to repair just replace the bulbs. It will be much cheaper and it helps save the planet. Perhaps it would be best when buying the bulbs from the Volvo parts desk to ask about the best way of accessing the dead ones. It used to be that the knobs would pull off and the facia would be easy to remove. I confess that my detailed knowledge in this specific area only really applies to the older Volvos

Plugged crank case vent or egr valve or
maybe too much blow by because of worn rings

If the bulb itself is whole (No warning on on-board computer) a fuse may have blown. Check and change if necessary.

Only when the light comes on to let you know that the time for replacement is coming up.
Or when the brakes start to viberate and the pedal goes up and down slightly and the steering you can feel a wobble .
OR when you hear a bad grinding noise back or front.. other wise it depends on weather you drive in town work or open road long trips
Town about 100.000km
Open roads long trips 180,000km as it all depends on how often you use your brakes and how fast you drive to how hard you brake.

The amber lights in the bumper are a complete unit, (bulb cannot be removed without some or all of the amber light assembly) so unfortunatey you will have to go to your Volvo spare parts store & pick one up - front & back are different, as are left & right - check it. I paid €25 for a unit in Ireland.

Changing is a case of unscrewing as much of the bumper as you need to access it and clipping it out. It takes quite a bit of force to clip the new unit back.

Unfortunately I can't help about dash bulb.

Hi mandy1966,
How do you know?.... The air bag is only supposed to deploy in the event of an accident.....On the other hand, if you mean that the air bag warning light, on the instrument panel does not turn off, you'll need to take the vehicle for a scan, to identify where the problem is.....

maybe the new bulb was no good

you will need to replace the complete unit
or pull the seal measure it and order it thru a bearing and seal supply company

Has it ever been tuned up ie. Plugs, wires or boots, filters, and injection cleaning? Check the tire pressure, under inflated tires are the #1 cause of poor mileage. Also consider fuel quality and additives that don't contribute to combustion. I hope this helps, Take care.

LUCAS is one of the best sold at any parts store. And is made for just that. Read MNFCT recommendations and directions for uses on EGR, PCV and intake manifold build up.
