VEA diesels build soot in the EGR system and begin to hesitate, warn or fail emissions tests if the car mostly does short trips.
- Snapped rear coil springs(Moderate)
The V40 is known for snapping its rear coil springs, often discovered during MOT tests or as a metallic clinking sound over bumps.
- Water ingress around windscreen and scuttle(Moderate)
Poor sealing can let water into the passenger footwell and eventually upset electrical modules or create persistent misting.
