2003 s40 strut issue
I had the struts and mounts replaced about 8 months ago. Since the replacement the drivers side strut has creaked when going into driveways and over speedbumps.

2003 S40 strut issue
I was having a clunking noise in the front end of the car but couldn't identify it. I took it to a mechanic and he diagnosed it as a bad engine mount and struts. The drivers side strut was not sitting straight in the car (when you look at the strut bolt under the hood it was not centered). So I pick...

2003 s40 front end clunking
For a while now I was getting a little "clunk, clunk, clunk" when I would take off from a stop or when I slowed to a stop. Last weekend I was driving and the clunking also happened when I would go over bumps. I put the car onto jackstands and moved the each wheel front left to right result...

Re: 2003 S40 T3 VS T4
OK so I found the engine type. It wasn't on the I'd plate on the firewall, it was on a sticker on the hood. The engine type is listed as B4204T, but no 3 or 4. So what does that mean?

2003 s40 clutch shim
I have read all over about this a/c clutch shimming trick however nobody seems to say what the gap should be. I have a current gap of .026. I'm sure this is too big as my a/c clutch won't stay engaged so if someone knows what the correct gap is I would know what my shim should be.

2003 s40 motor mounts
How many are on this car. Going to different parts sites, some show 4 mounts others show 6. I'm assuming 4. Front, rear, passenger and driver but I'd like confirmation. Thx
