Volvo V40 help & advice
Hi all new to the forum looking for some help and advice please.
So possibly looking at buying a V40 maybe around 2013 - 2015 wondering if you can help with models seen models that say D2 D3 D4 what is the difference please. I’d like a model with a decent extras pack on it sat nav cruise Bluetooth etc stop start as that for me is useful at times and maybe one with a bit of guts to it not to sluggish. Any help and advice much appreciated Cheers Lee |

The engine numbering refers to the power output, with the D2 being the lowest powered and the D4 being the highest powered.
The D2 up to 2015 model year is a 1.6L Ford/PSA engine and from 2016 model year the D2 is a 2.0L Volvo built engine. The D3 and D4 are both 2.0L Volvo built engines. The D4 up to 2014 model year and the D3 up to 2015 model year are five cylinder engines and the later versions are 4 cylinder engines. I would consider a 5 cylinder D3 in a 2013 to 2015 car, the 150 bhp engine will be powerful enough and should be reliable. You want the Nav version for sat nav. All versions have stop/start and all but the base model have cruise control. The SE Lux will be the best spec. Hope this helps. |

Sat nav map not loading
Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can help please. On my V40 63 plate, the sat nap map will not show up - all the infotainment is working - for example Radio, Media and the menus and settings. But when i go to maps the screen is blank but still shows the compass and will still navigate as if it was working but just nothing showing - for example - the screen will split as if you are coming up to a junction or roundabout and the only info this shows is on the left hand side it'll show you that you are at your destination. when entering an address it'll state how far and how long it will take and the DAB radio works. I hope i've explained this ok. Could this be something like the battery has been disconnected at some point and it needs rebooting? thanks in advance |

Probably better to have started this in it's own thread as the title of this one is nothing to do with your query.
Especially dragging up a year old thread :P However, best to re-download / update the maps from here: Make sure your USB is FAT / FAT32 and plug it in before starting the car. It should then automatically start updating the maps to the latest version. If it says your maps are the latest, post in a new thread. If it says "updating", leave it to do it's thing - just leave the stick in and each time you start the car, it'll carry on from where it left off. Mine usually take around 40 - 60 mins. Post back the results (success / no success)

Brand new Volvo v40 D2 2013 owner
Hello everyone.
I don’t know if I am using this correct as I am not just a newbie to Volvos. But a newbie to forums in general. I would like some help if it’s not to trouble: I have just bought a Volvo v40 D2 se 2013. I am looking online and I can see that it should have satellite navigation. But there is no print on the button where it is suppose to be, the button clicks but nothing. Further more there is no camera on the screen When it reverses and no beeping noise when reversing. Could someone please help with this. Am I right in thinking that this should be fitted as standard? Is there something I need to do? |

I just find it crazy for a car that has all these safety features it does not let you know if you are going to hit the car or thing behind you when you are reversing. Furthermore. I don’t understand why the middle dash has buttons that you can press in. But have no icon or functions when you press them. Is this normal? Again thankyou |
