There is a section at the very top of the S40/V40 page, where most of the guides were put in: https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=160

Problem is that many of us used Photobucket to share the images for the guides and since Photobucket pretty much blackmailed us overnight with $399 annual fees, most of us lost our images. I will eventually try to redo every single guide, but it will take time and I will need an admin to edit each one of my posts, as I am not allowed to do it myself. It is a real bummer

Hi all,

Does anyone have a guide how to remove rear bumper off V40 (2015)?
I removed 4 screws over the wheels on each side. Two screws on the bottom. Two twist off screws in front of it (plastic thingy), but still the bumper is not even moving. I don't want to use significant force as I'm a bit afraid that I'll damage it.

Cheers.

Wrong thread, as this is for the earlier pre 2004 V40s, but anyway, here you go
