Re: Confused about what year and series my S40 is!

It'd be great if there was some definitive and simple way to tell for sure whether this is a phase 1 or phase 2. What about the exterior changes? As fas as I know, phase2 has a slight facelift (e.g. yellow lights from the side of the bumpers are considerably bigger in P2 comparing to P1. The headli...

Where are side airbags located in '98 S40/V40

This problem might seem hilarious - I cannot locate the side airbags in my 98 V40 :shock: . I have no idea is there are in the side of the front seats, in the B pillar or somewhere else - or do they exists? I want to put seat covers over the seats and I should make "holes" for the airbags ...

Re: V40 1998: instrument panel lights

Thank you, I guess it is quite informative. I am just not sure if I would have to follow all the steps in the document because I don't need to replace any bulb, just to make the better contact for the backlight. It is only the backlight that is causing problems, as in attached picture.
Backlight not working.

V40 1998: instrument panel lights

One bulb proving the light for the instrument panel is working randomly, looks like a bad contact. Once it turns on, it stays on, but many times it doesn't turn on. The bulb is between the center and the right end of the instrument panel. (I will attach a picture if the position is relevant). How to...

V40 1998: air mix always open

Hello, the problem is that the air mix slider (the one from the central air vents) does not work; to be more cleaer, I can slide it but the damper behind is always open, probably there is something broken between the slider and the damper.
How can I take the air vent off to fix it?
