Front and Rear defroster unavailable

Got a message saying front and rear defrosters unavailable on my way to work this morning. I also noticed the seat heating wasn’t as warm as it normally is. No major issues as it was all working properly on the way home. But I am curious....anybody had this issue and know what caused it!

Re: Cleaning!

Ok. Being doing a bit of research about this. What I’ve discovered is that the snow foam is more of a pre-wash and although it looks pretty good it’s not going to keep the car clean for long. What I’m thinking about is possibly doing a wax, but I’ve never waxed a car before so I’m thinking does anyb...

Re: Fuel economy for D4.

Had my first week of going back and forth to work. It’s a 20 mile commute with plenty of traffic and a few stretches of 40-50mph driving. I’m seeing a fairly consistent 44mpg in comfort mode. Will try eco mode next week to see if there is any difference but I’m fairly happy with that. £65 fill up is...

Re: Cleaning!

Haven’t got the gear to do a foam wash. Did do a proper wash using the two bucket method today though and the new girl is looking good.

Re: For those still waiting - what other car would tempt you to cut your losses?

Having had an 8 month wait for mine and the experience of driving the car for a week now, I think you’d be a fool to go elsewhere. The car is streets ahead of the competition - easily the best car I’ve owned. Just sit tight and enjoy the wait.

Re: Volvo On Call App

All working for me again. Wife got a shock when I tested it by starting the car from inside a cinema 10 miles away and turning it off again. 😂

All Wi-Fi stops working - solution

Posting this here as I mentioned this problem discovered today in the Volvo on call app. My installed SIM card stopped working. At first, I thought it was the SIM card but I got no connection to my Wi-Fi connection in my house. Solution which I discovered on another forum is to switch driver profile...

Re: Volvo On Call App

This has got me thinking security. All I did with my SIM card is put it in the modem and it started working. Should I be doing something else to keep it secure?
Volvo on call - changed password, tried it on an iPad - still not working.

Re: Volvo On Call App

I can’t get in and haven’t been able to for a few hours. I called using the button in the car and was told I wasn’t registered which I explained was odd as things had been working fine since I picked up the car on Friday where I had registered. When trying to log in via the app I get the error messa...
