My 2007 Volvo S40c is running like is in low gear or something is holding it back.

Is the engine malfunction light on? Have you checked for DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes)? That would be the first thing to do, as it sounds you are in Limp Mode. That only happens if there is something wrong that could cause catastrophic engine failure!https://www.google.com/search?q=2007+Volvo+S40c+limp+modeOr an auto electrician with a professional grade scan tool computer can diagnose in 20 minutes.https://www.google.com/search?q=mobile+auto+electrician+near+me..

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.

I have a 2004 Volvo s40 & can't open driver's door.

As the driver's door is the most used side it can be just worn or a part broken, best would be to remove the interior panel and check that the inside lever is still connected to the lock usually there is a thin metal bar that connects the two. If it is connected and you pull the lever and the bar doesn't move or only slightly this indicates you need a new inside lever, if the bar does move freely then you have to look at the lock mechanism.

Where is the PCV on a 2004 Volvo s40, and how do you replace it??

Hello. Most PCV valves are in the valve cover on most engines. They are, carefully, removed by tugging/pulling up on them. Also, replace the rubber grommet that 'seals' it into the valve cover. Good luck and keep me informed; if you want to.

Possible water pump failure. Was temp guage showing "hot" ? , if not maybe coolant sensor issue. Had the car just been driven hard ? Any pressure in coolant expansion tank ?

How do I program my key fob for my 2000 S40 Volvo

Instructions 1 Make sure all doors are closed, as well as the hood. Make sure the tailgate or trunk is locked. Get into the car and lock all doors. 2 Insert the key and turn it from the insertion position (position I) to the "on" position (position II - not the "start" position) five times. In other words, all the dash lights come on, but the engine doesn't start. When you turn the key to ON the fifth time, leave it there. You have 10 seconds to perform this whole step. 3 Hold down each remote button for a second or two, so the car identifies those buttons as the ones to respond to. If you want multiple remotes to work for that car, you'll need to hit the buttons on each of them in rapid succession (all within 5 seconds) as well. You can program up to three remotes per car. 4 Get new batteries if the above doesn't work, and try it again. If you already have new batteries in the remote, then proceed to the next step. 5 Press and hold down the odometer reset button. 6 Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position. 7 Release the odometer button while the service reminder light (SRL) flashes. Don't wait until the flashing stops to release the odometer button. If you did that, you waited too long. 8 Turn the ignition off.

Volvo s40 2005 starting but not accelarating

Do you have anymore information. If so please forward everything you have regarding this problem. If the car is starting, running but not accelerating there may be a problem with the accelerator pedal position sensor or related circuit. Usually the engine light will turn on because the EMC identified a fault and a code or codes will be stored. If the engine light is on or flashing please have the codes read. Any questions please write back. Good Luck.
