I have a 2007 model year S40 2.0 diesel SE and am also having serious brake issues. The pedal goes rock hard and i only just avoided a crah the other day. It only seems to happen after the car has been sat overnight or all day at work. I have also had it go to a sort of limp home mode twice now, though no warning messages come up.

To sort the brakes out i have to stop and pump the pedal a lot, and for the limp home i have to stop and seriously rev the engine to clear it.

The car has been in to my local volvo dealer but they found nothing. It is going in again next week, so hopefully they will find the problem.

I love my S40 and have really enjoyed driving it. It is a real shame that now i have lost all confidence in it. If it is not fixed this time i will have to reject it with the finance company and go elsewhere.

Is there anything i can say or point out to the service department at my local garage to help resolve the issue, bearing in mind that i am very much not a mechanic.
