	Hi gatos, what part of london do you live? You seem to know a hell of alot about these volvos so i need to pick your brain about a few things.

My husband had just removed the heater resistor this evening before I saw this, but he was very impressed with your information. Hope this is the problem, will try to get one from the breakers.

Can you help him to find out how to remove the roof aerial from his 2002 V40? You seem to know how to do most things, so sure you will know!

Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks for the introduction to the Owners Club Forum, sure he will find it useful. Has loads of bits he will put on for sale from our old 740 and 240s.

	Don't know if it helps, but this guide might be an interesting read if you want to troubleshoot diesel smoke issues. [url]http://www.scribd.com/doc/38525324/Service-Manual-Diesel-engine-and-fuel-system-repair-fifth-edition[/url]

	Hi there, Anyone know where I can purchase an engine for a 2004 S40. She's a 1.9tdi engine type D4192T3. My last one blew as a result of the fan belt. Fan belt snapped then got caught in the timing belt and the rest is history !!! Would much appreciate any assistance. Thanks.

	Hi to all .i have 2001s40 1.8 fuel ligh stays on gauge won't work removed pump looked ok ,any one know what could be wrong will i need new sensor?

	[QUOTE=Brogabroga;bt9643]Hi to all .i have 2001s40 1.8 fuel ligh stays on gauge won't work removed pump looked ok ,any one know what could be wrong will i need new sensor?[/QUOTE] Check the thin wires in the pump. The solder points become weak over time, or one of them might be broken.
	Posted Nov 13th, 2012 at 20:12 by gatos

	Checked all the wires had pump out looked normal .unplugged wires from pump harness ligh on fuel gauge stayed on .the fuel gauge was all over the place prior to the total failure ...what a pain ...
	Posted Nov 13th, 2012 at 21:49 by Brogabroga

	The wires fail at the soldering point. Try re-soldering them and if that fails, then you might need a replacement sender unit.
	Posted Nov 13th, 2012 at 23:05 by gatos

	Thanks, will try that and go from there
	Posted Nov 14th, 2012 at 01:02 by Brogabroga

	Can the sender unit be purchased seperately for that pump?
	Posted Nov 14th, 2012 at 01:03 by Brogabroga

	The sender unit is the whole assembly you removed. The pump is inside the sender unit. Try resoldering and if that does not work, then I have a spare pump/sender unit
	Posted Nov 14th, 2012 at 01:09 by gatos

	That's great I'll try the resoldering first and get back to you.Thank you how much for spares !
