theForgottenone Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 I would check for boost leak. I would also clean IAC, check or replace coil packs, spark plugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see FCP listed for $37 for aftermarket. Did you use OEM? https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/volvo-oxygen-sensor-s80-s40-v50-v70-xc60-xc70-xc90-250-24455?gclid=Cj0KEQjwv467BRCbkMvs5O3kioUBEiQAGDZHL9mTxSxxghhNXa-bddC2rhXbf24hg8wzWqhpyZsgC98aAlDw8P8HAQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theForgottenone Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 I been chasing a long standing issue of hesitation on wot. I can't boost more than 10psi now. I had replace coil packs, sparks plugs. I cleaned maf and IAC. I'm still getting p0301 and p0304. im getting a can of Seafoam to put in the fuel tank to see if that can clean up gunks in my injectors. I thought my o2 sensor is going bad but I don't think that is the case now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VOLTA551568908589 Posted July 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 well im an ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD for not responding.. sorry was a simple turbo hose crack ( one of the short hoses near the top of the motor, in an out in 5 minutes, picked it up from Volvo of Milford ) was vacationing up in Maine last weekend.. driving home ( 4 hours away from home ) original radiator cracked and was stuck to a hotel room for 2.5 days in Concord NH was at the mercy of some AAA approved shop, 629$ for them to get it done in one day ( broke down on saturday 30 minutes before they closed, not open on sunday, so they rushed on monday ) anyways.. at 230K.. my confidence is very slowly dwindling with my v40. not sure if I should do a total overhaul with new hoses, belts, ( get it to stage 0 ) or save my money for a new volvo... please dont hit me but I have been looking at the ford v50s thoughts? :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VOLTA551568908589 Posted August 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 super late to reply but after $600 they got it done in half a day and I was out of Concord by 1pm. doing some research about v50 T5s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sks40 Posted August 3, 2016 Report Share Posted August 3, 2016 I really like my V50 T5. Your V40 looks nice. I almost bought an '04 V40 after my '02 S40 got totaled but went for an '05 V50 instead. The V50 is a nice step-up in just about every way. If you are into audio, look for one with the Premium Sound system. You can easily spot it because it has the center speaker in the dash. It has very good SQ. Otherwise, these cars are a pita to upgrade the sound system. The 08 and up have iPod input and mp3 capability. Earlier models, you can add a Denison Gateway 500, FM modulator or FM transmitter to get this capability. Stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan thanks for the useful reply! yeah im trying to keep my v40 decent looking.. outside looks nice. interior; the headliner is sagging, rear struts are blowing, front control arms ( or something ) knocks everytime I accelerate, and something ( i hope its only the alternator ) makes a loud whirling sound anyways.. is yours auto? being from Maryland im *guessing* it is ( because i cant find a manual for the life of me ) I absolutely love the audio in my 02 V40..and thats using a $70 fm transmitter that actually works.. have you done any work to your motor? all i want to do is the k&n with a M.B.C any problems with yours?

sks40 Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Mine is fwd auto T5. I see come manuals come up on Craig's List occasionally. I tried to jump on one that was a T5, manual, awd, prem sound, dynamic sport pkg, red with blk interior. I think it had a little over 100K miles for $5K. I was too late. I was going to buy that one and give mine to my son. I have not had any major problems. Most were fixed with software. The control arm bushings and the strut bearings seem to go quickly. If you buy from FCP Euro you get a lifetime warranty on the parts. I am about to take advantage of it for my LCA's because one of the ball joint boots had split and the grease had been gone long enough for the joint to get all rusty. I could do the ball joint but it is just as easy to replace the LCA and I get the replacement for free. The motor and transmission have been rock solid even with 190K miles. Besides oil changes, I had the timing belt replaced at 110K and trans fluid changed at 80K. I am also fixing my alarm system. I think it is just the internal battery which I am going to make my own battery pack to replace. My headliner also fell and I recovered it, though I was in a hurry and didn't do as good a job as I would have liked (has a few wrinkles). Some folks have issues with sunroof drains clogging. I haven't but I made sure they were clean when I pulled the headliner panel out. Once I do the LCA and get new tires, it should ride like new. There is still a lot of performance upgrades available. I think the popularity of the C30 helped a lot. Some parts are shared with the Ford Focus and Mazda 3 which helps also. It seems like the market has dried up for the S/V40. I haven't done too much performance wise. I do have an upgraded rear sway bar from IPD, Koni Yellow shocks/struts, a K&N drop-in filter and an ECU spacer (this was something found on the previous Focus RS in Europe that used the same Volvo 2.5L but tuned up a bit). The ECU mounts to the air-box and has cooling fins that protrude into the air flow. The spacer moves the ECU out a little for better air flow but is still safe for the ECU. The factory air box actually flows pretty good. Most go with a CAI for sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
