#14 of 22 09 S40 T5 - any engine/transmission issues? by rmurali Apr 29, 2009 (3:31 pm)
I am looking at buying new. Are there any issues with T5 engine or transmission? Thanks for your advice / comments. Replies to this message: subearu (Apr 29, 2009 7:01 pm) rmurali (Apr 30, 2009 2:59 pm)

Replying to: rmurali (Apr 29, 2009 3:31 pm) I think the T5 is a robust motor and the Aisin tranny is good as well. If there are issues, I haven't seen 'em, but then again I haven't looked for any since my '07 T5 has been very good to me.   -Brian Replies to this message: rmurali (Apr 30, 2009 2:59 pm)

#17 of 22 Airbags? by elysesmommy Sep 03, 2009 (1:44 pm)
I am looking into buying a 2001 S40 tomorrow, the seller has told me the airbag light is on. He doesn't know why. I called a repair shop and he said it could be any number of things. I am wondering if anyone has had this issue, and if it would be okay to leave like that for a month or so until I can afford to get it fixed... The car only has 65k miles on it.

Replying to: elysesmommy (Sep 03, 2009 1:44 pm) my airbag light has been on for ever, its definatly not a problem. i went to the volvo dealer to see what was wrong and they gave me a huge estimate so i never bothered to fix it. just be ready for a big bill.

Replying to: elysesmommy (Sep 03, 2009 1:44 pm) Hello: I would assume that by now, you either bought this vehicle or decided against it. I hope it was the latter. If there is a warning light (airbag, ABS, check engine, etc) and the seller hasn't fixed it, there is almost always one reason that they haven't had it fixed...MAJOR EXPENSE! If it was a minor issue, why would a seller not fix it and make the car a more attractive sale? So...if you're considering any vehicle purchase, tell the seller to GET IT FIXED FIRST, or find out yourself what the cost would be, then deduct it from the asking price. Also, jk47 stated that his/her light is on, and it's "definitely not a problem". If you are involved in a serious head on collision and the airbag is not functional, that IS a problem ...maybe a fatal one. Don't do it! vwdawg
#20 of 22 Loud auxiliary fan or Heater Fan! by s40silverman Nov 18, 2009 (7:28 pm)
MY S40 blower for the heat/Ac is vibrating the center of my dash so bad that you can feel it in the steering wheel when you turn the speed of the blower up....Whats happening ? Is my motor off balanced or is it a loose connection? The climate control & everything else works fine all except I can use the fan passes 2-4 notches without noise or vibration..i only have 63k on my 2004.5 seems too soon for this

#22 of 22 2001 S40 timing belt by dmkwdw Nov 25, 2009 (10:47 am)
the timing belt on my S40 broke last week. I have 155,000 miles on my car. I put a new timing belt (full service, water pump, etc. at $1500) at 105,000 miles in 2007. the mechanic (one of those specialty shops) and the dealer have advised me that it is a $5000 replacement for a new engine. I love this car and hate to give it up, but it just doesn't seem worth the trouble. Any thoughts?
