AFFECTED VEHICLES:

DESCRIPTION:

S40 & V50 customers may complain of a clunking noise during shifting or when applying and releasing the accelerator pedal. It is especially noticeable on cars with manual transmissions during low speed driving and when making a 1-2 shift. The customer may also complain of a slight vibration through the floor or seat at low engine RPMs (approx 1800-2000).

SERVICE:








If another root cause cannot be found via normal fault tracing, the left side rubber engine mount should be replaced with a hydraulic mount according to VIDA. On vehicles with the M66 manual 6-speed gearbox, a different intermediate lever (included in the kit) is also required to void conflict with the new bracket.
