Re: Polestar

Just had Polestar installed, definitely less lag even in comfort mode. Just called Aviva - glad there were no charge and change in premium :)

Re: No headlight washers...

My salesman said he would chase it up after I raised the issue - I heard nothing after 3 weeks. I left a not-so-good review for the dealer as I received the post-delivery survey (email) and the sales manager contacted subsequently - promised he would look into it. My salesman contacted a few days la...

Re: Headlight washers

Yup, I was one of those who was affected... After multiple chasing and a negative feedback (the post-delivery Volvo email thing), the dealer finally contacted and said they would send me the £350, reaching my bank account in the next 2 days.

Re: Paint defect at the roof panel

Yea probably the uric acid plus the sun which cooked the clear coat I guess... I have not had such bad damage from bird poo before as well, usually just mild etching even if I didn’t clean them quickly...

Re: Paint defect at the roof panel

There you go. Had another look and did a few rounds of hand polishing with scratch remover, didn’t do too much as it’s deep... I am still trying to convince myself it is a clear coat damage by bird poo lol...

Re: Paint defect at the roof panel

Just came back from a Volvo approved bodyshop which was advised by the dealer - the chap who checked felt it’s more likely to be bird poo burn :shock: He did say he won’t recommend a respray as it’s more likely to have some imperfection and he didn’t feel the roof should be (or could be) replaced ev...

Paint defect at the roof panel

Just washed FE and noted an odd deflection at the rear end of the roof on the driver side when I was going back indoor... Tried to polish it then it became apparent that it’s a 10p size area of blemish. I haven’t spoken to the dealer but has anyone had the same issue? Also it sounds a bit dumb but c...

Re: 3.5 weeks of my First Edition....

Yeh, I'll give the dealer a ring tomorrow about the fuel economy and to see about camera calibration... In terms of the missing headlight washers, what's the visual difference between cars with them, and cars without? Both cars will have the cut outs, but one is likely to have blanking rather than ...

Re: No headlight washers...

Just a quick update, spoke to the dealer today, told me they had another 2 or 3 customers with the same issue and contacted them... They said they were still trying to confirm the payment with Volvo UK but sounded like it would be £350 back to the pocket as mentioned in the memo. Not 100% but probab...

Re: No headlight washers...

I received mine yesterday with the 20's but no washers. Did you know if the car came without the washers before your collection? I was informed that I had the 20's and washers before delivery to me, obviously the dealer needs to go to specsavers! Oh dear, are you pushing for any compensation or eve...
