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..

The GDI's are bloody horrible engines,100k and you bin it..that's if it gets to a 100k,they coke up so badly..

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.
clean the throttle body in case it is gummed up and cant close properly when you lift off?
did u get any codes ? has the engine light been on at all?
