Question 1

How to remove and refit a rear bumper on Volvo V40?

Accepted Answer

To remove the bumper, you first need to remove retaining screws and fasteners, then remove the wheel arch liners on both the side. Next, remove the screws holding each end of the bumper to the body of the vehicle and unclip the sidelight wiring connectors before disconnecting them so that the lights will come off with the bumper. Remove the fastener at the bottom of the bumper and untighten the screws to remove the luggage compartment floor panel. Peel off the sealing strip around the aperture of the boot lid, unclip and remove the sill trim panel from the back of the luggage compartment. For Saloon models, loosen the center screws for the left and right side trim panel rear fasteners, remove the entire fasteners and fold the back part of each trim panel inside to reach the bumper retaining nuts and bolts. To improve the access, remove the front fasteners behind the rear seat backs and remove the panels completely. For Estate models, remove retaining fasteners holding back of each side trim panel from the luggage compartments, folding the rear of each side back inward for access to the bumper retaining nuts and bolts, and if necessary, removing the rear pillar and upper trim panels for folding the side trim panels all the way in. To avoid damage to the painted bumper surface while being removed, apply some strips of masking tape to the area below the tail lights and to that in front of the towbar, if fitted. Finally, remove the bumper retaining bolts and nuts, and with help, the bumper ends from their mountings and remove it from the vehicle. Refitting is simply the reverse of removal and the tightening of the retaining nuts and bolts to the specified torques.

Question 2

How to remove and refit the bumpers on Volvo V70?

Accepted Answer

The bumpers are made up of several sections, and, once the bumpers assembly has been removed, the outer cover can be unclipped and the bumper dismantled, however, it is not known if the individual sections that the bumper is made up of are available individually. For front bumper removal in V70 models, open the bonnet and remove, if appropriate, the wiper arm securing nuts and washer supply hoses. Carefully prise the plastic trim strips off from underneath each headlamp and undo the retaining screws below the headlamps and remove the plastic expansion rivets on the top edge and underneath of the bumper. In the wheel arch, loosen the bumper side mounting screws until there are only three threads left in them and shift them forward to release the mounting. For models after 2004, undo the Torx screws which hold the bumper to the wing, remove the screws in the trim recess under the headlights and remove the plastic expansion rivets along the top edge of the bumper. With help, pull the bumper sides outwards slightly and remove the bumper from the vehicle disconnecting any wiring plugs and separating the hose at the quick release connector if fitted with headlight washers. For S80 models, open the bonnet, un-do wiper arm fixing nuts and un-do the side markers before prising out the plastic trim strips. For models prior to 2003, remove plastic expansion rivets and drill out rivets that hold the bumper onto the wheel-arch liner then undo the bolts and pull the bumper forward with help. For models after 2003, undo the screws that hold the bumper to the wing, remove plastic expansion rivets, and pull the bumper forward with wiring plugs. Refitting is a reverse of removal ensuring side mountings are properly engaged. For removal of the rear bumper on V70 models, remove battery, access panels, luggage compartment floor panel and tool tray, undo the bumper retaining nuts, and drill out the rivets holding the bumper to the wheel arch liner. For models after 2004, remove screws that hold the bumper to the wheel arch, undo the retaining nuts and remove plastic expansion rivets. With help, pull the bumper backwards and disconnect any wiring plugs. For S80 models, open the boot, fold up the carpet and remove the boot sill trim then undo the bumper retaining nuts and drill out rivets. Finally, refitting is an inverse of removal, to ensure proper engagement of side mountings.
