  3. Hi,
    Well, I don't see a relation between the new battery and the idle
    problem, but about a year ago, my V40 was in the garage for a few days
    for the same problem - every possible part was renewed, but the
    problem wasn't solved. Until, well, they drained the whole fuel. I
    simply got contaminated gas... :-(

    Could you please clarify what you mean?
    Sometimes we just are too stupid...
    Is it that the engine will not idle, that is, run without you push the
    accelerator pedal?

    Maybe a vacuum line got knocked off? Did any of the intake plumbing have to
    be disconnected to do the work that was done?

    Then you may have not succeded cleaning but blocked a channel, or there is
    a leak.
