Volvo's little sedan got a big redesign for 2008. On the outside, the S40 gets new headlights, a bigger grille, and new taillights. Inside, you get more interior space, an auxiliary input for an MP3 player, and a Blind-Spot Information System. The S40 features three trims, with the T5 getting 6 months of Sirius Satellite Radio and a bump up to 227 hp. The 2.4i features a 2.4-liter, 168-hp inline five-cylinder engine.
Gas mileage averages out to around 19 mpg in the city and 27 on the highway. All trims have 4 doors and seat 5. The 2.4i gives you a standard 5-speed manual transmission or an optional 5-speed automatic, while the T5 and T5 AWD feature a standard 5-speed automatic. All three trims have 12.6 cubic feet of cargo space.
Overall, drivers like the S40's style, controls, comfort, solid safety features, and smooth handling. On the other hand, acceleration could stand some improvement, and options can cost you if you don't watch yourself. Despite its shortcomings, the 2008 Volvo S40 offers a stylish and capable package at a relatively low price.
I have an ECM that the processor has overheated and shorted the computer internally. My question is; can I get a different ECM off of Ebay or junk yard that is for my same year, make, and model volvo? The fan motor and AC do not currently work due to the issue with my current ECM. Please help. Thank you
is there a manual transmission?
Very urgent. My Coolant is disappearing after a drive. What are the possibilities. Engine is in perfect condition. Ive changed the Head gasket one week back. Radiator Fan is working. Coolant leak even when the car is in idle mode.
Hello, So I've noticed a faint clicking sound while driving to work. It comes from the front passenger side, and it is quite faint. It sounds as if something were clicking on and off. It will go once, and then after a few seconds, it will click again. The clicking comes from behind the glove box it seems, and it starts whenever I turn the A/C on. If I turn the A/C off and set it to fan only, it stops. Turning it to recirculate doesn't do anything--the clicking continues.
I bought a car advertised on cargurus but the seller did not disclose properly I need to retrieve the description while the car was selling with Cargurus
