V40 Broken headlight adjuster

[jonesie]

I have a black bezel headlight with a broken left to right adjuster clip. its a black piece of plastic that connects the inner bezel reflector to the adjustment screw. its snapped half way across. Must be a common fault.

anyone know a fix or a way of getting a replacement.

I have my light apart already and have hit a dead end

Very common, have a look here. Part number for the repair kit is near the top

Thanks

I think I will buy a few. Where do you get them? are the replacements better and stronger? happened very easily. I just fitted a set of Xenon lights same as on your guide and managed to snap it replacing a bulb and one of my old lights is the same, same side too.

My phase 1 has a snapped adjuster, it's sheared clean off the light, if you push it or pull it the whole reflector moves, it's currently held in place with silicone sealant.

Nope, no better and no stronger - They are just very fragile. Bit of poor design work by Volvo there.

There was a guy on eBay who sells a replacement that's better quality than the Volvo original but I can't find the listing. Gatos knows who it was, hopefully he'll post the link.

That is poor design. Reminds me of the Jaguar X-Type lights they suffer with the same issue.

I tried a temporary repair for now. I took my front bumper off to fit these lights (and a splitter at the same time) and don't want to refit it until the lights are on. Waiting on my temp fix to dry so could be a late one or it might be bus to work tomorrow

Completely different as far as I'm aware.

Hello everyone.

I don’t know if I am using this correct as I am not just a newbie to Volvos. But a newbie to forums in general.

I would like some help if it’s not to trouble:

I have just bought a Volvo v40 D2 se 2013.

I am looking online and I can see that it should have satellite navigation. But there is no print on the button where it is suppose to be, the button clicks but nothing.

Further more there is no camera on the screen When it reverses and no beeping noise when reversing.

Could someone please help with this. Am I right in thinking that this should be fitted as standard? Is there something I need to do?
