  Q: How to remove and refit a vacuum pump on Volvo S40?

  A:

  Only fitted to diesel engines, the removal process starts by removing the plastic cover from over the engine straight up from its mountings remembering that on 1.6 litre engines the cover may be held in position by 2 bolts. For the 1.6 litre engines, press the release button to separate the main vacuum hose from the pump, then pull the smaller hose from the pump, then undo the 2 retaining bolts to carefully remove the pump. In the case of a 2.0 litre 4-cylinder engine, remove the clamp for the EGR pipe from the vacuum pump and release the fuel pipe from the clips, taking care of the fact that the EGR pipe clamp is fastened by a nut. Depress the release button to disconnect the vacuum hose from the pump then undo the 3 bolts to remove the pump from the cylinder head, being prepared for spillage of fluid and discard the o-ring seals since new ones need fitting without dismantling the pump. For 5-cylinder engines, remove the battery and battery tray, undo the bolt for the pipe support the bracket located at the left hand end of the cylinder head above the vacuum pump, then undo the quick-release connector and disconnect the vacuum hose from the pump. Undo the 3 retaining bolts to remove the pump from the cylinder head again being prepared for the possibility of spillage of fluid and discarding the O-ring seals for new ones, with no dismantling of the pump recommended. For refitting, provide new O-ring seals for the pump mating face, locate the pump drive lugs to the slots in the end of the exhaust camshaft, and fit the pump to the cylinder head and tighten up the bolts to the stipulated torque ensuring the drive lugs are aligned with the slot in the end of the camshaft, the rest of refitting being a reversal of the removal process.
