These had some problems with the fuel pressure regulator that caused hard starting and I've seen the idle valves stick open and cause a no start problem. Reference:http://repairpal.com/volvo-s40-2001/common_problems
Q
2004 Volvo S40 Spare Key?
So I bought a used 2004 Volvo S40 and it only came with one key. I want to have a spare key, but this is not the type that can be easily replicated. I am not sure how to describe it but its sort of like a pocket knife in that you press a button and the key flips out. The key also has buttons to lock/unlock the doors and sound the alarm.

You are going to have to go to the dealer and have one ordered based on the VIN. They work in conjunction with the anti-theft system and they are about $150. You are supposed to have a valet key so that when you get serviced, the mechanic can't get into your glove compartment. Reference:I own a...
Q
Are volvos good for teens?
I am going to get a car for my teen and I was wondering if a 2007 black Volvo s40 would be a good choice. I know they are safe and reliable but I was also wondering if they are considered cool cars for teens and would my teen like it? I will ask my teen but I thought I would ask here too.

The Jetta may provide the most value in this class for those who are completely practically minded.
Its five-cylinder engine offers performance that’s very comparable to that of the standard 2.4i model, with similar equipment and a backseat that’s a bit roomier, at a price that’s close to $10,000 less.
That said, if safety features are the priority and you’re willing to pay extra for options, the S40 is unbeatable.
Another possibility is the Subaru Impreza; in its base 2.5i form, it’s a much more affordable alternative, with standard all-wheel drive and performance from its horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine similar to the base five in the Volvo.
And the Impreza WRX offers performance that rivals the T5, at a lower price.
The Saab 9-3 is another alternative, bringing good, sharp handling and decent performance, but its ride can be choppy and its interior isn’t especially roomy.
The Acura TSX, which includes the superior service of Acura dealerships, has especially nimble handling, a good ride, and impressive fuel efficiency, but its backseat is somewhat cramped.
