Hello! Loving my recently purchased 2013 V40 D4. Wondering what kind of upgrades anyone has made and felt that they made a good difference to the car? Inspiration required!

Cheers

Rico

Definitely eibach springs. For the view and the handling they are worth the cost.

 

[rico05]

Thanks for the tip! Do they affect comfort much?

 

[gabri555]

Yes, just a little bit, it will get stiffer, but not a "stool" like we use to say here!

 

[rico05]

Cool, thanks for the tip. I'm fitting 18 inch alloys (official Volvo) next week, I wonder if it would be wise to lower the car with these?

 

[gabri555]

Well, I have 17", I don't know if it'll become too stiff with 18"

 

[rico05]

I'll see what it's like with the 18"era first. Cheers

Hi again,

Someone recommended me a certain diagnostic port reader, but I can't find the post, sorry! Would someone mind reminding me?

Cheers

How to check secondary battery.

The start/stop on my car won't work if the car hasn't been used for a couple of days unless it gets a run of 30 or 40 miles. The main battery was replaced at the start of winter but I suspect the secondary battery needs changing too. Does anyone know if there is anywhere that remains powered by...

Hi all, which version of the eibach spring kits would you recommend, for a good blend of comfort and handling?
