Many Volvo S40 drivers have experienced problems with the car's instrument panel, which tends to fail on this model. However, repairing the wiring between the information display and the ECU can easily resolve this issue. Another common problem is the MAF sensor getting clogged early, leading to stalling and requiring either cleaning or replacement. The headlight switches may also fail and need professional replacement. Blocked sunroof drains are another issue, causing water leaks in the footwell. Unblocking the drains or replacing window seals may fix this problem. The throttle body in the S40 often causes poor idling and can age prematurely, accumulating debris. Luckily, most of the issues with the S40 can be fixed with minor repairs.
