S40: - A returning Volvo owner

dongagon · Oct 7th, 2008, 19:49

Hello again

Just wanted to say hello to everyone after a extended break from volvo ownership.

Today i picked up 2001 S40 1.8 1 previous owner 72,000 miles. Its in very good condition and as soon a sat in the seats i thought 'its good to be back'

(I previously had a C70 T5 and a S40 1999 2.0SE).

During my absence i have had a Audi A6 1.8T good comfy car, but had problems, SEAT toledo 1.9 TDi good diesel engine but unrefined and had many niggles.

Are there any quick upgrades that i can do to improve the performance of the 1.8 (non GDI)

Hi and welcome back to the comfort zone

I am sorry that I don't know a great deal on perfomance mods, you could always ask the question on S40 concepts, you may get a better response ?

Thanks Andy

Just one quick question. How do you change the battery? Is is a case of just taking the old one out and putting the new one in, or do i have to wait for a period of time before i put the new one in. The only reason for asking is because I have seen posts mentioning SRS lights staying on after battery replacment.

Cheers

When I changed my battery I just took the old one out and put the new one in straight away. No problems (other than having to enter the radio security code).
