Questions About 2011 Volvo S40’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Volvo? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Volvo? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your S40’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your S40 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my S40's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Volvo S40 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Volvo's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Volvo S40 leak transmission fluid? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Volvo S40, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
