Volvo s40 2002 ~~~~~ New Lower Price~~~~~Must Sell
This car is dependable and gets great gas mileage, BUT with issues.
It's currently my daily driver (70miles round-trip/5 days week). I get 30mpg.
I do not have the time to troubleshoot and fix it. The codes are listed below.

It has a clear title.

The only real issue is an idling issue with the car related to the modules. This causes low idling and sluggish acceleration. (You have to hold your foot on the gas pedal or it quits). I have replaced 2 modules with limited successes, the Idle speed control valve and the boost sensor. I have fairly new tires on the car. It needs minor body work on the driver side rear quarter panel and new paint all over - the hood is primed, but not painted.
The car has 212,000 miles. I had the engine rebuilt that has about 90,000 miles on it. If I had time to fix it, I would keep it. The car still has a few good years left. I've had 2 mechanics tell me 2 different things: bad throttle body and bad turbo.

It has been wrecked:
1. Someone backed into me in a parking deck. Minor - front passenger side quarter panel *see photo
2. The driver side has paint damage and rear quarter panel as a result of hitting a guard rail on an interstate on-ramp (minor). *see photo
3. The other wreck was when I purchased it wrecked and fixed it. The front and rear had been hit. The air bag did NOT deploy. I replaced the hood, one front light and radiator as a result and in the rear I replaced one taillight.)

Codes:
P0236 (turbo circuit low)
P0508 (idle control sensor)
P0445 (evaporative purge valve)
P0031, P0037 Oxygen sensors
I've been told that these codes are all connected and are the cause of the low idle and sluggish acceleration.

I replaced the P2401 Boost Sensor.
The P0245 (turbo waste gate) was checked & is working

2015 Volvo XC90 mule spotted testing in the snow

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

The Volvo XC90 was a big step for the Swedish automaker in 2003, but the midsize crossover has changed very little since its introduction. All that's about to change as Volvo starts its initial development on the 2015 XC90, which we see for the first time in these spy shots showing a cobbled-together XC70.
Like the current XC90, the next-generation model will be both longer and wider than the XC70 - judging by the modifications made to this mule's body - which will continue to allow Volvo's flagship crossover and provide three rows of seating. The next XC90 will ride on a new platform that will eventually make up around two-thirds of all Volvo sales, called the Scalable Product Architecture (SPA).
Our shooter managed to find out the registration number for this mule, which indicated that it was powered by a five-cylinder diesel, but we expect the automaker to start stepping away from its current powertrains with a big push toward smaller engines courtesy of the new Volvo Engine Architecture (VEA). Rumor has it that the future engine lineup for the XC90 will rely heavily on turbocharged four-cylinder engines and eight-speed automatic transmissions, which will likely eliminate or lessen some of the current mills available like a straight-six or V8.

Volvo Concept Coupe is brand's 'next-generation P1800' [w/video]

Wed, 28 Aug 2013



Volvo is calling the Concept Coupe its "next-generation P1800."
The teasing can now officially come to an end - Volvo has released all the images, videos and details on its new Concept Coupe, and we're intrigued. The Swedish automaker is calling the concept its "next-generation P1800," and those are some pretty big shoes to fill. Fortunately, it's not all talk; there are clear links to Volvo's much-loved coupe in its shape, though we certainly wouldn't call the Concept Coupe 'retro.'

Volvo brings a whole new 2014 showroom for Geneva's approval

Wed, 06 Mar 2013

Sometimes it takes smaller automakers a bit longer than the industry average to rotate and freshen their product lineups. Volvo has taken a big swing for the 2014 model year in that regard, and has brought along a full product portfolio of new cars.
In the main, this means that the Swedish brand has fast-tracked facelifts for its already-attractive assemblage of sedans, wagons and crossovers. Volvo mainstays S60 and S80 have both gotten appearance modifications to freshen them for dealer lots, as well as added features inside the car. We're particularly happy to report that the spirited "60 cluster" models - S60, V60, XC60 - can now be had with optional paddle shifters on new, three-spoke steering wheels.
Below you'll find a whole bunch of image galleries of the revised Volvos, live and in person from the show floor in Geneva. For a bit more background on the Volvo updates, feel free to read our original announcement of the news or scroll down to catch the press release.
