2001 Volvo V40 Engine Q&A

  • Why does the check engine light in my V40 turn on when I start my car? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. This is just your V40 testing its circuits. The light should go off shortly. Bring your vehicle in if it doesn't.
  • Why is my Volvo V40 making engine noise? Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Volvo V40 engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.
  • What could damage a Volvo engine? [ordered-list-1-item-3-1]Are you unknowingly damaging your Volvo V40 engine? Certain driving habits can hurt your engine. These habits include driving on an empty fuel tank, revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.
  • Can I use water in my Volvo V40 radiator? While it’s not recommended, you can use water in your V40 radiator in emergencies. Normally, you should only use a 50/50 mix of coolant and water or a pre-mixed coolant. However, if you are completely out of coolant and must continue driving, it’s better to have water in your coolant reservoir than nothing.
  • What could cause my V40 engine to suddenly stop? Your V40 car engine could stop suddenly due to low fuel, electrical issues, overheating, a faulty ignition system, mechanical troubles, or sensor problems.
