My 2001 S40 would only overheat when I would run the AC. The dealer replaced 3 relays but the problem continued, particularly in traffic. The low speed was not working. The failure was in the fan resistor (P/N 30644121) not the fan itself. |
| 126000 mi | Smell of gasoline in cabin. Sears automotive could not find a leak. No repairs attempted. Continuing problem for months led us to trade the car in on a new car purchase. |
| 105400 mi C $250 |
problem with flex pipe(?)/catalytic converter had been around a while but car sounded terrible and was reluctant to drive anywhere -- I had parts fixed rather than replaced since I hope to trade the car in during the next month or so... |
| 72000 mi US $1200 |
long crank time when trying to start, intermittent idle stumble. replaced fuel pressure regulator. |
