Common problems and easy repairs on a 2005 S40
The 2005 Volvo S40 i is a problematic car to maintain on account of its many complicated procedures. The fog lights, petcock, and oil drain plug can only be reliably accessed once a large panel is removed from underneath the vehicle; the air filter intake vent will need to be removed before the oil filter can be accessed; and, the cabin air filter is located in an unusual place, tightly wedged into a corner that’s obstructed by multiple panels.
However, there are some highlights to the 2005 Volvo S40 i. All of its tail lights are located in a single bulb assembly that’s easy to access in the trunk. Its spare tire and jack kit are conveniently packaged together, allowing it to be removed quickly in the event of a flat. Its engine air filter also slides out easily after a couple of screws are removed, allowing for quick replacement when necessary.

Replacing a dirty air filter can improve gas mileage by up to 4%. Isn't efficiency great?
Small bulbs that burn out regularly - did you know you can replace these with LED lights?
Properly inflated tires is the easiest way to improve fuel economy. The right tire pressure is NOT on the side of your tire btw
On many cars, the high beam bulb runs at reduced power during the day - check 'em and change 'em!
