Hello together...
im not a big forum user but i dont know where to find help...
I bought a volvo v 40 D3 manual (built 03/2017).
right from the start (i got it with 28k KM) the third gear rattled and vibrated when accelerating between 1,5k -2k rpm.
I brought it to the dealer and the garage changed some module between the stick and the gearbox.
It then rattled only sometimes but quickly went back to as it was before, rattling almost every single time when accelerating. And very heavily when going uphill. Furthermore and to my brightest delight, a new problem occured. Now, when driving longer high speed motorway drives (cruise control mostly set to 180kph) and then getting of the motorway, fifth gear wont get in properly. For example, you come off the motorway, come to a halt on a traffic light, then start to shift through the gears - on fifth - the stick wont get in properly. You have to surgically find the sweet spot for the stick to get in to fifth. That takes a few seconds and by the time its in you have lost almost all the revs and can stay in 4th gear.
So i reported it the second time - together with the fact, that the 3rd gear still vibrates and rattles - and this time they told me it has something to do with the "thing, that stops you from going into reverse while driving" and "its just a qick fix"... they didnt do anything about the 3rd gear problem this time.
Of Course, after that, all problems where still the same.
So i handed it in the third time which was two weeks ago. This time they changed the shift cables and said:" now everything is fine again".
End of story: now, 3rd gear still vibrates, but you cant hear it that loudly anymore, so no more rattling noise, just noticeable vibration AND of course, 5th gear still wont get in probably...
right from the start i suspected the gearbox (it appears to be a M76, but im not sure), but up until today they refused to replace the gearbox and i dont know what to do...
Next step is contacting a lawyer and giving it back for a new AUTOMATIC car.
Has anyone of you any ideas or same problems????
Thanks in advance!!!!
