Removing the Door Panel Handle

Model: Volvo S40 MK 2 - Years 2004-2012
Part: Handle

The internal handle of the door panel, which also includes the switch panel for the electric window lifters, is simply clipped in place: to remove it, first take off the internal cover of the handle itself, then use a plastic spatula (or the tip of a knife as shown in the video) to pry along the edges of the switch panel to release it. If you want to remove it completely, simply disconnect the connector attached to the switch panel. It may often be necessary to replace it as the acidity from hand sweat or some car wash products can discolour the buttons.

This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
