Which car from the two is better. 2008 volvo s60 or 2008 chevrolet malibu ???? Help pls
I have had a 2005 S40 for 14 years, and it has been the best car I've ever owned. It's a manual, and as such, I will continue to drive it for as long as I can. It's quick but comfortable, not very sporty but fun enough, and it never lets me down. Brilliant car.
someone near me is selling one for 1k it have 150k miles on it and she say the the car was stopped for a year and now it doesn't turn on any clues??
@@marfigue777 probably just needs battery
How many miles? I’m at 112,000 with a 2006 s40. Bought it at 75k 10 yrs ago.
I own a 2005 v50 and it has had every single problem you explained on your video in the same order you talked about. It's hard to believe that with all advance in technology we still have that many issues. Thank you for the information.
you’ll come to notice, with more “advancements” in technology comes more issues; not vise versa. old simple technology works just fine
Accurate. I bought my car brand new in '05 and have had all these issues including the headliner. I will say that they didn't really start until after 10+yrs though and I'm OK with that. It's wear and tear for me. I love my car!
i was working on one of these today, i’ve got to say a lot of things i do not like at all about this car, but at 225k miles the 5 cylinder motor ran beautifully and made immaculate power. i was also born in 2005.. you’ve been enjoying your vehicle my entire life. salute
I have an S40 T5. Fantastic car. New gas pressure sensor, new engine mounts, control arms , front struts, shocks, replaced some of the cv boots. I had a mobile guy replace the headliner. Looks better than new. No brake issues, but I always do the brakes myself.
I’ve just bought a 2011 S40 D3 2.0 diesel one owner from new and only 43k miles so far it’s awesome
The best presenter of this series at 1A Auto,
A good and clear spoken English for us foreigners.
Greetings from Brazil!!
Just bought an 05 S40 2.4i 5 speed as a winter beater. It's a really solid car so far. I have had to replace a few fuses that have blown and the headliner is slightly sagging but besides that excellent car.
Bought a 2008 S40 6 yrs ago for my sons First car. been a good car but yes, there are known things that will need to be replaced. So far I have done the following.
1. Changed out the Control Arms and ball joints
2. Headliner
3. Motor Mounts
4. Passenger side drive axel ( driver side is next)
5. Camshaft Barings. (As recommended, Water Pump, Belts and Timing Belt)
6. Shocks
7. Rear stabilizer mounts
8. Oil Filter Housing
9. Engine Coolant revivor container
10. AC clutch Shim fix ( Getting ready to replace the clutch next)
11. Oil Pan (My son cracked it on something he ran over)
12. Radiator Fan.
Sure more to come. but still a good car.
Camshaft bearings???
Great simple and very informative video. Thank you. I hear clunking noise coming from under driver's side front like it is hitting at the acceleration pedal, but just once after I move off on low gear 1st, 2nd after 10-15 seconds. I've changed brake pads but didn't lubricate the sliding pins as was rushing so will recheck. Could be also the mounts. Also my rear drivers's side caliper is stuck as disc is rusted so probably will end up with changing it but first will check the sliding pins.
Great information on this video. Straight to the point and equickly and efficiently explain the repairs aswell
I’m very thankful I’m able to adjust playback speed. I legit thought I was having a medical episode at normal speed playback
Also, the main coolant hose that snakes around the engine and radiator. This is a one piece hose but has weak plastic connectors that split over time. Messy job to replace but can be done at home by a competent DIY mechanic. Quite a few videos out there already on this known issue
This is super helpful. Over the last year we have experienced several of these issues with my son's car.
Another issue is the water/rain Drain from the sunroof getting plugged backing up into the inside floor board
Pretty accurate. I already replaced the headliner and a torn axle boot on my S40. Caught the boot early to where it only had a small pin hole so the joint wasn’t out of grease or any debris got inside. Thanks for the video!
Are the parts avaiable online.?
@@vipinnnn yeah, I get mine at fcpeuro.
Have you ever tried putting a sub woofer in yours?
Mine doesn’t have Bluetooth or aux, and the cigarette lighters don’t work, so transmitters are outta question
What’s the cost for those nowadays, u know?
If CV AXLE is not making noise and otherwise is working fine, Boot is all that needs replaced and they can get torn for various reasons It doesn't mean immediate replacement of Axle.
If there’s a vibration while driving or acceleration the cv axle could be bad on Volvos
What a great video, seriously the best mechanic explanation and to the point, absolutely on point. Thanks !
Grateful for the headliner tip. Spray adhesive. I thought the only option was full upholstery shop.
Did you know the Volvo S40 uses the same platform with the Ford Focus and Mazda 3?
Interesting I never would of guessed a Ford or Mazda was hiding under that skin
@@dennisglodoski6365 Ford did own Volvo during that era. Totally ruined the name, just like what GM did to Saab. Now Greeley (a Chinese company) owns Volvo.😌
good video man, appreciate the passion!
Love your videos, Len! Nice work!
I already change the cv joints and the engine mounts on my S40. Easy fixes.
That was pretty much an essential video, overall
+Teh SWEED Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Great video! Love 1A Auto! Keep up the great work!
I just want to say this is the mist educatinal video Ive seen all night, thank you so much for explainjng everything in detail. I just bought this car and ot has some of the issues you have gone over. I feel confident in looking under the hood. Do you have any advice on the DTCS errors?
About to buy this car! Vey helpful tips!
Wait what! This video is only 3 weeks old? Holy crap I thought it was way older 😂
Wow my guy is angling to be the Volvo resource on YT. Quite successfully too I might add. If you could do the first gen S40 that would be cool.
+@yojoe5311 We're always cycling through common cars. We'll add this repair to our list! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Len is a great presenter, he should have his own youtube channel
hey guys, add some joy into your lives and hire me . Keep up the good and helpful videos.
perfect video. I'm having the first common issue is going to fix. fuel rail pressure sensor malfunction 😊. ready for replacement tomorrow
+Alaa Sedki Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
@@1AAuto are you shipping to Canada?
Besides a spray adhesive the only thing that will keep the headliner in place is tacks in my 2008 s40 my liner sags in random spots
Good points 👍
I have a v50 T5 manual and can attest to most things in this video. One thing not mentioned that seems common is the PCV system diaphragm that get perforated and causes engine overpressure. Not so hard to replace
I have been having the problem with anti_skid error every time I drive over 70 miles per hour. Right after I receive this error, I get the 'reduced engin performance' one. After you shut the car down. The anti skid error will go away but the 'reduced engin performance' error stays with you until it gets erased by one of those reading gadgets. Every Time a me panic diagnoses it, they cannot find what the problem is. Any help?
theres no coolant low indicator except on xc90. the adapter for the pump up tester is usually wrong too so you end up holding the stupid thing on . the cheap chicom replacement tanks leak too. most of the leaks are on the upper hose that you cant see. they happen when the car is at running temp and if theyre on the ends of the coolant crossover like mine, they drip on to the header and vanish so you cant find them except for the puddle. ALWAYS CHECK YOUR COOLANT LEVEL WHEN YOU GET GAS or run your heat and if the heat doesnt work carry extra coolant (away from animals) and top it off. most leaks happen when it ten degrees out too.
Great information, thanks stiffler!
Coolant reservoir
Dome light assembly
Shifter blind (auto)
Sunroof drain leak
Aw55 transmission issues if not maintained.
I bought a used S40 with 70k miles earlier this year, and I’ve literally had every issue on this list 😂
Damn i was just looking at them on craigslist guess im gonna stay away now
@@gabrielbussiere8706 compared to many other options these are just little things
imo i think these issues are mostly common in the USA. here in Europe volvos are in great condition
@@T0EFOO yeah, I've never had an issue with it. If you do regular servicing you will be ok.
its so crazy i literally bought mine w 80k and its at 115k now and in the past 15k has had every single one of these problems lmaoo
Love my v50. Just replaced FPS today.... 😅
This dude is awesome~!
Is it true that they share suspension components from mazda and ford?
Thanks!
Wow my headliner did this in my 94 Camaro and I ripped it out. I’m very surprised a car 10+ years later had this problem.
I have a question that maybe you can help me with I have a 2011 Volvo S40 and was wanting to put a high-flow catalytic converter but the only one I can find up to a 2010 is there any difference in the 2011 and 2010
Nah
Thanks for the video
I have a 2009 V50 that I bought recently, but basically the same as the S40. I had to replace the rear brake calipers when one didn't want to go in well when I replaced the brakes and was sticking when I put it back together. Also had a vibration in the front that turned out to be at least three things. The previous owner took it to a shop that didn't know what they were doing and I've been having to fix several things they fixed recently according to the carfax. They didn't grease the front brake caliper pins and I suspect that caused the brake rotor to warp. The tires were cupped. And even after those two were fixed, there was still a front end vibration. Ended up being both axles failing. Driver's side started making a lot of noise so I replaced it. But it was still vibrating because the passenger side was bad as well. Headliner is still up, but seems like the foam under may be failing as it's a bit softer than I'd expect it to be.
+Nathan Thanks for the feedback!
I have a son that will be driving soon. I found a 2007 S40 2.4i. I am thinking about buying it for him. This information helps with things to look for. But would you recommend this car for a teenager?
Yes, I bought a new one when I was in college. Really good car and I felt like I was in an armored truck. I had a little fast and the furious car before that got me a lot of speeding tickets. That quickly stopped when I got this car.
Help please! Replaced fuel sensor at rail as I had 70 psi on scanner but with the gauge is 56 psi, still the same issue and car runs like is lightly missfiring but I have no codes. Cleaned the throtle body and replaced this parts, coils and plugs, fuel sensor at rail, timing belt. Still same issue. Scanner I'm using (Launch x431, diagun)
Any tips for diagnosing the motor mounts on a manual transmission?
+@matthewsanders6499 We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Is it safe to assume the s60 will have similar issues?
Other issues are
Sunroof drain hoses causing leaks inside floorboards even when no clogged
Difficulty checking transmission fluid
Headliner and door fabric coming off
2004 volvo s40 2.5 .rotors sizes are crazy. Better to just take one off and measure it then.
I prefer Sue, she knows her stuff and skips the nonsense.
cant help but notice that even the common problems are the same as the ford focus mk2 ones since they're the same car with different badge :))
How can you assess the motor mounts with a manual transmission?
Yep…I’ve had all these issues with a V50 except the headliner inside the car.
There is a multi complicated coolant hose on this series of vehicles that is prone to cracking, leaking coolant that will overheat your engine if you don’t keep a close eye on your coolant level. This can cause the timing belt to jump time and destroy your engine. The hose is located on the driver’s side underneath the intake and tbody area making it extremely difficult or impossible to see from the top. This hose should be replaced on vehicles with over 100k miles in my opinion. It is a cheap repair compared to buying an engine or a different vehicle.
Hah
I just bought one like a month ago, this comes pretty handy
I was just thinking of buying one used with 50k miles, not being mechanically inclined I'm kind of hesitant to buy because of the maintenance/fixes needed; plus installation of back up cams and android head unit
Once i hit the motorway in my 2011 volvo s40 and grt up to about 80/90km a "reduced engine performance" message appears on the dash and i can feel the car pulling, tugging and having reduced power from the throttle. Any ideas whats going on ?
When i go hard left or hard right on mine , while parking for example, car starts to make noise, and it doesnt sound good 😢 any ideas?
Hie
My volvo S40 manufactured 2010 keeps losing pressure, what could be the main cause of that. Is it the Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor or PEM near the fuel pump? please assist. Thank you
I own one of these maybe you can help me please as it’s not driveable right now. Do you know if the s40 has an “inertia switch”/fuel pump shutoff? I’m not hearing my fuel pump kick on and my car crank but won’t turn over. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I think all cars do and volvo has always been a safety leader so I'd guess yes
Path forward? GM 3.4L perfect fuel trims at idle. 20.5 inhg at idle. When throttle plate opens, fuel trims go way positive. Thus, leak between throttle plate and MAF. Only IAT,breather tube and rubber inlet duct in path. Smoked engine no visible leaks. Path forward?
Hi, I have a Volvo s40 2012 with a 2.0 petrol. What could be the problem of high rpm shifting? Cheers
The engine valves, do a compression test
Top five should go headliner, pcv diaphragm, cv axle, key stuck in ignition, horn going off randomly
+bombfirst157 Thanks for the feedback!
most definitely pcv diaphragm
Hi does 2006 Volvo S40 require adblue? No separate tank though
Ok i found one with 212,000km should i cop looks pretty clean if you want I'll add a link to the car as a reply to this comment.
These issues are obviously and essentially obvious of course and other than that and aside from that it only makes sense overall.
Had a 05 S40 and was a solid car despite the issues noted.
I need a head gasket replacement video link for this exact engine
If you have a torn boot, you are much better off having the axle rebuilt. Nobody makes new ones that do not add vibration for this vehicle. There is a reason the OEM is $700 and the China ones are is $60.
Would you like to do a similar video that covers the top 5 problems on a Volvo S60?

I have a volvo s40 2.4i -04 and when i accelerate in low gear at low rpm i can feel a small vibration. Also when i shift gear i can sometimes hear a noise that sounds like something is loose... can it be a bad motor mounts? I can let a mechanic take a look at that but... my car has just been att the workshop and it cost me 800€... also last year the clutch was replaced also alot of other things. This car is so expensive 😆
It’s your mounts. Check out FCP euro for an OEM kit (engine and transmission) for $315 USD
I had only the first problem.
I'm having battery drain issues on mine cant figure it out though
are the engine from 2005 to 2012 compatible??
Where do I purchase rubber mounts for this car????
I have a problem with my volvo s40 2007 110D 1.6L psa. At 3000t/min especially in third speed. The motor can't go above 3000t or the motor shutdown.. I have to restart it when I am driving ( a bit dangerous). No message, or Light on dashboard.. I changed: egr, gasoil filter, fullfill eolys, etc.. I need help if someone met that problem 😢
My 2014 Ford Fusion had this problem now that I see this and know that Ford and Volvo used to be partnered.... I guess Ford kept all the crap because the 2014 Fusion was new when I got it in 2013 and 3 years later the flue rail went to scat....Ford and Volvo.... just don't buy them unless you want to keep fixing one item just for another issue to rise after it.... LOL
My Volvo is pretty solid, just buying a S40 soon so I don't know what kind of crap you are talking about
But is it affordable to fix or is it like a bmw
Like a bmw
Bring
Money
Witcha
I have a constant vibration under the accelerator when driving on highway, over +80 km/h. that is an engine mount or cv / axel issue?
+Alaa Sedki We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Same problem for my s40
Did you fix it?
thanks for useful info, but ease on gesticulation dude
Hello guys ! What you think about an volvo same like this with 1.8 125 hp engine + LPG (GPL) from 2006 ? It's a good car ? About consume i don't know maybe some of you let a reply to this message and describe more this car and the problem that the car have ! I would bye one of this if it deserved ... wait for you comments and wish you all a wonderfull life !
Plugged sunroof drains!! Arghhhh!! Just replaced the fuel rail pressure sensor at 89K miles after daughter complained of high fuel consumption. Need a new windshield?? Pony up the big bucks because it's part of the safety system. Otherwise, it's been a good car. Pretty small for anyone over about 5' 10".
Is the transmission the same in 2.4i and T5 motors? My transmission is clapped
I think so, yes.
How many miles
you forgot the pcv
And most likely the EGR valve. Haven't seen a 10+ year old car without significant EGR cloggage.
S40 my fuel gauge not working

Es-pecially not ex-pecially
Yeah, that roof's fabric is trash
Best advice...stay away from these cars
even the 2010 ones?
Good video. Good info. The millennial freak out hand movements makes you look like a white boy rapper. It’s a total negative to an otherwise good video
One of worst model i have ever had,,,,
Waste of time
That’s why the crapy Volvo sold to Chinese!
