Questions About 2004 Volvo V40’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Volvo's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Volvo tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your V40’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my V40 transmission fluid need to be checked? Maintaining your Volvo V40 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Volvo, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Volvo V40 transmission fluid leak? Yes. Volvo V40 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.

You might even experience transmission failure.
