Volvo V40 Headlight & Bumper Removal - How To Remove DIY 2012-2019

[@PDKings]

Great video, much appreciated! As a v40 owner myself, any piece of knowledge about the car is welcome.

[@IAMASPANNER]

Thanks Gabriel, got a few more videos coming in the next few days for this car, very happy to help!

[@badgeriffic85]

Super helpful video, followed this to remove and refit the bumper to replace the upper grill this weekend, thanks bud 👌

[@fuwingpang5445]

Thank you, very clear instructions.

[@IAMASPANNER]

You’re very welcome 👍

After removing the front, is it possible to run a cable from a recessed LED bar up into the engine? When I shine a light from the outside now (in the lower compartment), it doesn’t look like there’s anywhere to run the cable up into the engine room (V40 MY 2019, also R-Design).

Great video thanks, is it easier to get the windscreen washer bottle out by removing the headlight or the wheel arch liner ? Many thanks, Mike

[@tommcgrory9302]

The 2013 V40 D2 has day light led lamps included at the front of the bumper which does not allow you to seperate like that or otherwise you will break the fixings. It needs to be removed with the underside in tact.

Great video manual mate! Just one question... why do you only remove the LH headlight unit? I want to take my bumper of tommorow to change my grille and want to know if I have to take the headlights out? (any tips on getting the grille out and in the bumper?) Thanks in advance for your answer!

[@IAMASPANNER]

Thank you, I can’t remember exactly what I say in the video but I think it was just to give the option. On some cars for some people they may prefer to get the headlights out of the way, less likely to damage them. Thanks for watching, all the best!

Great video, Is it possible to replace the grill without removing the bumper? i want to replace my grill

[@IAMASPANNER]

Thanks Ismail, I don’t think it is as all the clips are very strong and can only be released from the rear.

[@Gemuesesuppen]

Can you reach the boost pressure sensor next to the intercooler from there?

[@vitormanuel9676]

Hi! I would like to thank you for the videos. I’ve been using your video to change the filters of my v40 and i did it all by my self along your great video explain! But now i have a different problem and I’d like to know if you could give me a help. Te air vent from the passenger side is broken, and I should replace it, but I don’t know how to remove the broken one… Is it easy?! Congrats from Brasil 🇧🇷

[@IAMASPANNER]

Hi Vitor, thanks for the comment, I’m very glad to help. I haven’t removed a vent on this car so I’m not sure. I hope you find the info that you’re looking for.

[@WAB1234567]

Hi does the grill separate? I want to change the surround to black but keep the badge and two lines chrome. Thanks

[@thereclus]

Great, instructive video. Thank you! 👍

[@DA-xw2uh]

Merci pour la vidéo, juste une question. Comment on fais pour refermer les clips ? Pcq ils doivent être ouvert pour rentrer dans le trou...

[@IAMASPANNER]

Repoussez les centres pour qu'ils dépassent du haut, une fois le clip remis en place, appuyez sur le centre vers le bas.

[@Scrazp]

Hi, are thor headligths compatible with 2014 model?

[@321kratos]

Great video, I have a question, can a 2018 r design bumper fit a 2015 r design? Or are the screw placements and so on different? Thank you

[@IAMASPANNER]

Thank you, as far as I know it should fit exactly the same.

[@marccunningham8596]

Hi have u got any advice on changing passenger front seat 👍👍

[@IAMASPANNER]

Make sure you disconnect the battery just in case it triggers the airbag light. Basically every car is the same, 4 bolts and an electrical connector somewhere under the seat.

[@markh6691]

Once you have the bumper off how easy is it to replace the grille? Mine has been damaged and I want to replace just the grill.

[@IAMASPANNER]

I can’t recall how the grille was attached but it’ll just be clipped in position with strong plastic I expect.

[@jonwaller5430]

Legend thank you

[@jdmcallister9405]

2015 i'm working on is totally different to your car. The split of the bumper where it joins the rest of the body is bolted together with hidden bolts/screws The screwes for the under body join only has 6 not 8 rest of the job lights etc is exactly the same, but the bumper can't be separated

[@IAMASPANNER]

Is it a pre facelift? Could that be the difference?

[@wrath407z]

Do you happen to know if upgrading the 2016 headlights to the Thor’s hammer headlights would retain full functionality?

[@IAMASPANNER]

If the connectors are the same I can’t see why not but I don’t know for sure and would also like to know.

[@javierzambrano7459]

Great vídeo, the last connection is a sensor ? . What is it?

[@IAMASPANNER]

Thanks Javier, I think the connection is for all the crash sensors.

[@osamasaleem9709]

Hi I would like to know if 2018 volvo v40 d2 headlight can fit in 2015 volvo v40 d2

[@IAMASPANNER]

I’m sure they’ll fit but I don’t know if the connectors will be the same and whether there are any other components required.

[@konyuki8456]

Nice video, thanks. I want to see engine under cover ( two or three plastic parts?).

[@konyuki8456]

Under cover removal.

[@matteogariboldi4885]

Hi, cai i ask you how i can disassembly lateral mirror of my volvo v40 because i would replace the bottom light. thanks for your answer.

[@IAMASPANNER]

[@shynepo7183]

[@everettkirk8368]

[@IAMASPANNER]

Sorry not yet, it doesn’t look too bad but I imagine the manifold bolts could be pretty seized

[@s0su_]

Hi, can i change part modified facelift headlight is compatible with 2015 old version v40?

[@IAMASPANNER]

Hi, I’ve only just been asked this and unfortunately I don’t know, I’m not sure if the LED drivers are part of the assembly and whether it would require coding.
