Re: T3 turbo "issue"

Got it booked in for next Tuesday, but seeing as they tried to tell me that "its the gearbox getting used to how you drive"!? I wanted to know if anyone else had had a similar experience. It's been about 2 years now since I got rid of my XC40... But I also had a T3 Manual and absolutely n...

With every other car I’ve driven, the lights come on with the wipers irrespective if I’m using the Auto wiper mode.
I've had Volvo, Ford, Vauxhall, Mercedes and VW... None of their lights come on in the rain unless the wipers are also on too...

I sent you a message the other day in case you were still interested in them.

Re: Brake lights - Are they LED or just plain old filament

I kind of agree with ChrisLF on this, BUT, I say, there`s always room for a little improvement where practical, especially on bulb/light reaction times, but not necessarily brightness/lumens. Had a little bit of useful info the other day, from a contact in Volvo Parts that might help with Volvo`s t...

Re: Standard XC 40 Stereo

This is my fourth Volvo. The other three had superb sound systems. Mine is a top spec Inscription, but the stereo, the basic system, lets the car down on its own. I am likely to lose money handing it back in. Why have they done this? The stock system is louder than the HK system, but less immersive...

Re: What can I sell with my car?

You're entitled to refunds on the GAP, Wheel and Tyre insurance... I did when I sold my XC40. They juts pro-rata it down and take an administration fee from it.

If you paid for the service plan I assume you'd get a refund for that too but mine came with the car so I didn't.

Re: 360 Camera

Sorry starting this topic again but has anyone else noticed that the rear camera appears blue and less clear than the other surround cameras? I have mentioned this to the dealer but they insist that it is normal. Is this common with the 360 camera? If my rear camera is faulty I would like to go bac...

Re: Harman Kardon stereo?

Have you ever had any issues with the stereo? When I had my XC40 and it went in for screeching sounds from the door speakers they put a load of felt on the inside of the grills and it looked just like that. Awful. Nope, this is as per factory. I'm not sure if the grille comes off, or if they'll hav...

Used manual floor mats

Hey guys, I've got a set of rubber floor mats I bought for my XC40 a while back, they were only in use for about 3 or 4 weeks before I got rid of the car and now they're just sitting around in the shed doing nothing. They're genuine Volvo front and rear mats with the tunnel cover. Looking for £25 + ...
