It seems the diesel is the same
Just got this car (110K) 02 S40 D, had a check round at all the obvious stuff, thought i'd check the hoses even though it might not be applicable to this model.......oh yes it is, both top and bottom clips are badly (not yet critical) corroded...thanks for the info

Thanks Clan, I'm another newbie, just bought a W reg V40, 94k - chuffed with it, very clean, including under the bonnet, thick folder of service history, most of it by main dealer. Only because of you I looked at the clip - looks OK for now - but is very rusty, much rustier than the other clips, gave it a good blast of WD40 in the hope that'll soak in making it easier to undo when I try getting it off in a few days time.
Very much obliged - clips are so much cheaper than engines!! Thanks also to Simon (Rufe) for the clip - excellent service - despite a postal strike! |

I can confirm this.
I have a 99 S40 1.6. Mine went on the way to Scotland on the motorway. Temp shot up and had bags of steam coming from the bonnet. When i pulled over and checked, the jubilee clip had rusted so badly that it just snapped in half and the hose popped off and dumped all my coolant. Cost me about £1.50 for a pack of jubilee clips and just replaced them all.... No problems since. |
