Re: 2008 s40T All Warnings Flashed, Timing Slipped

I think the mechanic is pretty fair and straight. Claims to have never seen such a thing. We're not sure what came first the warning lights then timing slip or timing slip then warning lights. The belt did not break, but the engine slipped time. He explained that a part apparently got into the timin...

2008 s40T All Warnings Flashed, Timing Slipped

I have a 2008 S40T with only 35,000 miles. Driving at 30mph all warning lights flashed and car stopped dead. Apparently it threw off 2.5 pages of error codes like in an accident. Had the CPU repaired/reprogrammed and apparently the timing had slipped and the car needs the top of the engine rebuilt. ...

'07 S40 Control Unit/Radio/CD Swap... Wil it Work???

I have a 2007 S40 and it was on the short side of having an AUX input as they were introduced in '07. My system is a single disc player, no AUX, no Auto climate control. I have found a new system from an '07 that actually has what mine doesn't. It's a single disc, with AUX and Auto climate control. ...

Re: 2007 S40 any chance this unique AUX hook up would work?

My only concern with this would be if the only audio output leaving the CD player is via an optical cable.

2007 S40 any chance this unique AUX hook up would work?

I have a 2007 Volvo S40 with a single disc CD player. My understanding is that 2007 was the addition of the AUX connector located in the back tray of the center console. Regardless, my 2007 must have been a leftover 2006 and has no AUX! I am considering a $400 aftermarket option by GROM, but it real...

Replaced the engine with a very nice, 22,000 mile engine from an S40 hit in the rear. Runs like a champion.

Oh boy, what to do....

Well, I took a chance with a flood damaged Volvo S40. When I received it it had a cracked oil pan, started but was blowing some white smoke with a rough run. Figured it needed a head gasket, got a deal on a new head so replaced the head and gaskets (yep, oil pan too). Was getting errors in cylinder ...
