Re: 2000 S40 A/C or HVAC stopped working

Forgot to mention that the gauge on the can of refrigerant suggested the pressure to be 40-45 psi. That seemed high to me and the system never reached that level. It was 30-35 psi.

2000 S40 A/C or HVAC stopped working

I used A/C Pro to try to make my air conditioner blow colder. I read the instruction and found the low pressure port and began to recharge my A/C. It did not seem to make any improvement to the temperature so I went through the process again. I checked the pressure, turned the dial to the outside ...

2000 S40 Windshield wipers won't run on setting one

I recently had my key cylinder replaced and a new key made. A few days later when it rained I found out that my wipers only worked on the second and third settings. My question is simple, what are my options? Do I just live with it or is it a fairly simple fix? Thank you for your time.

Re: Entire car shakes only when I accelerate

All I did was replace the coil packs. For good measure I start using Lucas Fuel Additive on every other full up.

Cruise control not working right

I just took my 2000 S40 to have my ignition repaired & key replaced at a dealer in Jacksonville, FL. It cost just under $800 and when I got there it would not start so I had to buy a battery which was another $135 but I had my baby back. A couple days pass and rainy weather comes through my town & I ...

Re: 2000 S40 Key will not turn past 2; ignition lock cylinde

Just went through this my friend. Had to get a new key, new cylinder, and something else that comes with the cylinder to fix the problem. Oh not to mention reprogramming the key & the tow bill to the dealership. Everything all together was just under $800. Yeah for a key.

Re: Check Engine Light Code P0013

Today my car started to overheat. I found a slight tear in the wire to the solenoid. Could this cause the engine to overheat? I have replaced the water pump just a couple months ago but I guess it could be bad. It is raining here so I have not had a chance to see if there is a leak in a radiator ...

Check Engine Light Code P0013

I just replaced the spark plugs in my 2000 S40 and I linked the wires to the wrong two cylinders. Stupid mistake but I figured it wouldn't be a big deal so I simply put them back the correct way. Well before I fixed the problem the Check Engine Light came on. I figured it was going to read a misfire ...

Re: Should I rebuild my motor? 2000 S40

My mechanic says that I need to replace the PCV oil separator along with the turbo. He says, like you predicted, that the case is plugged but that it has damaged the seals on the turbo & the only way to fix it all is to also replace the turbo. Is this true? Also, I can not locate the ECT sensor nor ...

Re: Should I rebuild my motor? 2000 S40

Could this also cause my car to overheat? I live in Atlanta and if I hit traffic the car will reach high temps. It doesn't get to red but close. I have replaced the thermostat and fluid. I have read about the relay and possibly the oil cooler. Thank you for your time and info.
