2010 S40 T5 AWD

Ex850R

Lovely car!

Apparently the xr5 DP can be fitted with a wriggle n tap.

The usual wreckers, Berry Motor Group, Voldat,Swedish Wreckers may be helpful.

Mark at Berry's knows where all the good stuff is at the right price, get genuine Volvo stuff from him he has a secret source.

Mark at Voldat imports aftermarket stuff and does MTE/TME Sweden tunes and exhausts, they also supply IPD USA. Great tunes too.

There's other tuners online you can have build you a tune file and cheaper than Hilton, get a VIDA and DICE and load it yourself.........

Ozvolvo has a discount shipping deal with FCP EURO , you set up your cart, email Scott Drodz the owner and he adjusts the cart shipping,usually straight away!

Plus FCP have return guarantee, 100% replacement free of ALL THEIR INVENTORY, even used oil and filters!

Have fun!

Thanks a lot for the welcome and info!

I'm based in WA so will give Mark @ Voldat a call regarding downpipe availability.

I've been reading/youtubing for a few days and it seems most of the xr5 pipes contact the transfer case and need to be slightly extended. I haven't found any posts that s40 awd's have fit them without modification.

I'll search the forum, are there any preferred suppliers for the VIDA/DICE?

Excellent resource to have with FCP Euro, i'll be ordering some service items through there!

Hi there Josh,

Welcome aboard!

There's a couple of other decent intake kit options including the Snabb intake pipe kit - available from Snabb in the US or from us (www.dvs.net.au, we are a Snabb reseller) in Australia.

The P1 C30/S40/V50 is a great platform, which better build quality than the LS-LV Focus XR5. You could argue that the Mazda3 MPS (BK-BL) has aged a little better, but the Volvo variants would be my pick of the bunch.

The platform responds well to change and they can be a fun car to drive.

Here's our old Focus XR5 for reference -

Ironically, I was actually chasing a V50T5 when this came along as the starting point. :)

Hi Ash,

Thanks for your welcome and the info- i wasn't aware that the mazda 3 MPS was a similar platform!

If i hadn't of ordered the do88 intake pipe already the snabb would have been perfect. Does Snabb produce any downpipes for the p1? i see they have some options for the s60 but not the s40?

@Jamest5r_ mate in UK sells a laptop all ready set up with a DICE unit.

can I ask is it @Jamest5r_ who sells the unit or did you mean he has a mate in the UK that sells them?

yes unfortunately as the ad specifies it is only compatible with the FWD.

it seems my only options are:

-JT via Martelius circa $1k including shipping

-FWD aftermarket, oem denied system circa $700 plus the cost to have a local shop modify to suit

-completely custom from a local shop

I've called all my local shops and nobody seems overly keen to do option 2 or 3 unfortunately.

Hi mate,

sorry for the thread revival- has taken me a while to source the parts I wanted. I now have the intake, downpipe and decat, BOV i've been wanting so i'm nearly ready to throw it all on before tune.

I'm wanting to order the downpipe gasket, a few fasteners and sundries before I start.

I've had it all in the car through FCP Euro and I've emailed them on the website enquiry form to mention the shipping discount but I've heard nothing back- just wondering if you had a direct email for Scott Drodz?
