The brake pads in a Volvo s40 can be changed by safely raising and propping the vehicle up. Removing the wheels and caliper. Slide the brake pads from the caliper. Before installing new pads spray brake cleaner. Install new pads.

Drain coolant enough to at least empty pressure at top radiator hose. Save coolant in a container. The thermostat housing is located on top of the engine, of passenger side where the top radiator hose is clamped. Use a T-40 torx drive socket to remove the two bolts, be careful you don't damage threads. Remove the housing then remove old thermostat. I recommend replacing coolant temp sensor at same time, it is located underneath thermostat and is threaded into the thermostat housing. Both parts together will cost about $80-85 from your Volvo dealer. (Volvo Thermostat part # 271664, Volvo Coolant Temp. Sensor/IAT Sensor part # 9125463)

Use sealant (Water Pump & Thermostat Housing RTV Silicone, cost around $3) around match surfaces of housing with new thermostat in place. Carefully seat the housing and carefully thread the mounting bolts to seat the housing. When a little sealant escapes around the edges and bolts are tight STOP, do NOT over tighten. It doesn't have to be torqued on there the sealant will heal around the surfaces and bond the mount in place.

Reconnect sensor and reconnect top hose.

If you are going to drain the system, remove radiator drain plug it's located there at the passenger side of radiator and refill system.

Test for leaks Your done.

Tools needed:

Flat blade screwdriver (to remove hose clamps)

Socket wrench

T-40 torx drive socket

19mm open end wrench (to remove Coolant Temp. Sensor)

Drain Pan (to catch spilling coolant)

50/50 water/coolant (optional, if you are going to change coolant)

Pull the wheels off, take off the six small bolts on the hub assembly, remove the large bolt holding the hub assembly on, remove the caliper, pull the hub assembly off and the rotor will then be free.

The Volvo 1800 dashboard is held in place with for retaining bolts and 12 retaining clips. Remove the retaining bolts and pry outward on each retaining clip.

each time i want to play the car sterio of 1997 VOLVO S70 GLT It will ask of code. It will ask of a code.How do i put this code. the serial number is VO8170 V9179463B. You need to go to your Volvo dealership and they will do it for free. If you call them they will give you a code and tell you to keep your radio on for two hours than put that code in there but that does not work it is better to just go to the dealership they will do it for free and than they will give you the code in case it happens again.

Check the bearings in the CV joint. They can be rebuilt as the original parts are very expensive. This is a very common problem in the S40 model.

Turn the knob on the dashboard near the meters.

There are 2 vertical slots at the bottom of the radio _l____l_ just push in and handles will pop out, then simply pull the radio out.

There should nb a "stem" on the front of the clock, sticking out through the clear dash covering. Just turn it clockwise/counter clockwise until you get to the correct time.

It may not mean anything at all. Motor oil is used to lubricate and cool the pistons. If there's a lot on the side of the pistons, then it's possible that you need to replace the piston rings.

To reset your service light here are the steps.

WHERE DO YOU GET A REPLACEMENT IN DASH PUSH IN CUP HOLDER FOR THE 2001 S40 VOLVO? FIRST :) I already have the new cup holder from Volvo! How do I replace it? You have the actual guestion listed, now where do I find the answer????

I had replace Bosch Platinum plugs with Volvo plugs to remedy miss firing. The Bosch Plugs worked for five to six months before I noticed the engine shuttering during acceleration, and a mechanic at a Volvo dealership told me that only Volvo plugs would work. The advice seemed a bit odd. Although, the problem was eliminated with the Volvo plugs.

I was wondering the same thing, but gave up and just decided to give the light assembly a good look and this is how I did it.

1. To remove light cover, tilt the bottom of the headlight up. It should become loose enough to remove and expose the bulb. If it isn't loose enough you may have to unscrew the blinker assembly cover. (I had to only on one side.)

2. Pop open your hood to view the back of the bulb assembly. You'll see that the existing bulb has a notch helping to hold it in and if you push down on the notch, the notch should pop out of the holder.

3. Pull the piece with the holder and it should detach from the bulb.

4. Now, twist the grooved plastic washer surrounding the bulb. I don't remember the direction, but it doesn't take much to turn it. Remove this and place to the side.

5. Moderately pull the bulb in the direction of your engine. It should come out.

6. Take the new bulb and place it where the old one was. To get it to go in all the way, you may have to twist it to fit in the notches (this is where having the light cover off helps).

7. Once the bulb is in, you can just do all the previous directions in reverse, and then repeat for the other side.

for a 97 to 2000 v40 s40 its at the back under the car by the left wheel undo the black cover then undo the clamp and pull the pipes off then install new one

I can't provide you with the specifics, but i would suggest looking in your owners manual or going down to the local auto store or shop and ask them for help.

Zilduli Most auto parts stores will replace them for you. Check that out too. Duff
