If computers arent picking anything up its not an electrical fault, sounds like your surging because of bad fuel or blocked injectors, run some fuel cleaner through the car and see if that makes a difference. fuel filters may need to be changed but try the cleaner first.

2001 Volvo S40 petrol. With my Volvo S40 car, there is a problem with the Cooling System. Cooling tank gets empty after running.
Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category.

You have a leak, you just need to find it.

Look for leaks in the hoses. Do a pressure test.

The most common reasons a Volvo S40 has a coolant leak are loose hose connections, a broken radiator, or a failed water pump.

Volvo s40 1.6 diesel lost power and cut out no warning lights
Look for a foreign object in the fuel tank. I once had a carbon receipt plug the fuel pick up tube. You could be getting water in the fuel too.

2005 Volvo S40 T5 is losing power while driving then suddenly regaining power. This happens over and over again.
had this problem as well.. check the oxygen sensor on it (sometimes critters like that wire) or like shel said dirty injectors or filters could be it.. bad gas is also another one... dont go to places with old tanks or that is really cheap, run at least 91

Volvo s40 gdi
My 1998 Volvo does the same sometimes. Better petrol helps for me, these engines like the higher octane petrol. My car does not like the BP petrol at all for example.
