volvo s40 xs 1999 questions

Post by CunningStunts »

Hi everyone, I have just very recently bought a second hand s40 which i think is a lovely car :) The car seems to run very nicely but there are just a few things that im not sure about.
The exhaust seems to put out a lot of smoke which is a light colour
Im not sure if im getting a very good fuel consumption, im not entirely sure what a normal consumption should be but i drive fairly smoothly and try not to accelerate and brake hard but i dont think im getting much more than 25mpg
The last MOT the car had it failed its first fast idle emmisions test however passed on the second fast idle test (co2 emmisions) could it be that the car just needed a bit of a run (as i think in the past it has only been used for short round town runs)
The car itself is the 1.6 sx with only 34 000 miles
thanks for any advise.
