All the time or just the odd occasion?
most of the time
Barring all the basics like checking all the vac lines are the right way round etc. There is a Rev counter sensor on top of the gearbox. Maybe this is not helping.?
Take it back to the previous owner and ask him to fix it under warranty ... lol
sorry not had any experience of s40's, check for dodgy wires to main relays etc mate
I was told today to start with fuel filter as it might be blocked and ok under load but not for tick over
Go onto the VOC a lot more people on there know the different models than on here,as this is more a turbo site.
I am sure you will get to the bottom of it..
well got a code reader / rester now
is this a 1.8i GDI or Volvo 1.8 engine ?
gdi - fuel pressure sensor or head carboned up badly.
its a Volvo vvt 18 engineQuote:

Bit less than 100k in my experience. plenty had to be de coked within warranty!
discounting the parts you already gave attention to listed above, its a bit difficult.
