After similar info for my 2.0T V40 really. Do these filters and induction kits add to the performance noticably? Haven't got any engine mods on it at the moment (just a strut brace) and don't have...

Was one of those cars towards the end really sponsored by Her Majesty's Stationery Office? I believe it was. Bet that hospitality tent really rocked! Nice pens though.

Hi Benji
So I guess you bagged your T4 then. Well done. Unfortunately, no idea on your rear electric window conundrum, but as for first mods - STRUT BRACE, STRUT BRACE, STRUT BRACE.
Drive it round...

...and for the difference it makes, worth every penny....

We've had a 99T V40 2.0T from new and have had absolutely no trouble with it in all of its 137k miles. In standard form I've found it to be reasonably quick for 'everyday' use, but it definitely...

Nice touch of Hamish. Obviously the stick wasn't so big as to upset his power to weight ratio...

We're in Ashendon Close, just off Oakland Avenue, you'll recognise the house by the, erm, 2volvos....

You know, Nat, it's uncanny about the way Shelsley can get under your skin in an emotional way. When my Mom died (she competed at Shelsley and other hillclimbs vigorously in the 80s and early 90s) we...

Hi

I bloodied the V40 at Shelsley Walsh hillclimb at the Midland Automobile Club members day last Friday, and was in good company as the photos show. It performed well and was pulling 68mph on the...

I've had a V40 2.0T, which I guess is not too different mechanically to the T4, from new on 135K and has been a superb car. It's had regular good servicing, not neccessarily at main dealers though,...

Why I thankyou! The V70 is a 170bhp 2.4 and the V40 is a 2.0T. Not quite the canine's gonads of the T4 and T5, but the strut brace on to V40 makes it a lot of fun. I'd take the Pepsi challenge with...

Hi

After being registered for a couple of weeks, finally found out how to post pictures with the link below.

What a handsome pair...

The one I got fitted was £165 - a genuine Volvo accessory. Money well spent I think. Apparently Sparco and OMP do braces for S/V40s but only the non-turbo'd models. Can't imagine much of a market for...

Yes, I agree about the effect the first rain for a while has on the roads - a few mates at work had similar 'issues' with their Golf GTis etc.

Hi

Had a strut brace fitted to my V40 2.0T last Monday and boy, does it improve things. Excellent service from Chip Tuning in Bromsgrove. I would recommend them to all Volvo owners. First time I'd...
