Had a 1995 1.6i 440 for 50k miles and have had no significant problems, idle has never been great and when the clutch is depressed when changing down it often momentarily revs up. have always suspected the idle valve and have cleaned it on a number of occasions, could never decide wether this made any difference. idle is now so poor it stalls. anyone know if this is a common fault?
also my boot light only works when the doors are open, is this normal. apart from this the car has always been great. cheers |

Hi,
I have a Volvo 440i 1.6 too - my idle is a bit erratic too - where is the control valve - maybe i should try to clean it. mine car has done 114984 miles since i last checked and have had no problems. The bootlight is the same with me. |

Hi,
I have a 440 1.6 si and had a real problem with idle, the car was continuously hunting (reving up and down and erratic revving). I went down the local scrappies and bought a secon hand idle speed regulator which cured the problen straight away. I also tried cleaning my original idle regulator but that achieved absolutely nothing so i was very supprised when a secon hand unit did the job. For the sake of £10 it was worth a go. Hope it works for you. |

Billie,
i would describe myself as a proficient amateur with mechanics and it only took me 20mins to change. Its as easy as identifying the unit, undoing bolts and putting on new one then plugging in the wiring. Haynes manual should point you in the right direction mate. |
