Gearbox oil change & fuel filter change
Hi guys...
New to this forum, but not new to Volvo's as I've had a 850 T5 back in the day that I loved. I've just purchased a UK S40 SE 2435cc petrol 5 cylinder on a 2004 plate with 110k on the clock. So it's a series ll. I'd like to change the gearbox oil on it, but can see you need a special tool that the main dealer wants £85. Has anyone managed to change the oil without this tool with maybe a wobbly socket on an extension bar? Also... I'm trying to find where the inline fuel filter is. I've watched loads of YouTube vids and it looks like it's on the nearside! But I can't see it anywhere. Could you give me advice on this please. Cheers |

Thanks for the info and help. I'm guessing that the fuel filter must be built into the fuel tank. The last owner said he had the clutch replaced, but I have no idea what manual gearbox oil was put back in. I have about 4Ltr of Silkolene Pro SRG 75 sitting about that could be used

They would have simply put the oil back in the gearbox which they drained out , it is the best quality synthetic , it doesn't deteriorate .
