Re: What have you just found out about your XC40.

From MY23 you no longer have to pull it back or push it forward twice (like a double mouse click) to shift between D, M and R. You just pull/push it and hold it a fraction of a second. Apparently so many people disliked the double motion that they changed it to something more familiar ;) Personally...

Re: Poll: Lead times ( from order till delivery)

Has anyone received a car lately? Ordered a C40 on 4/3 and have been regularly reassured it will be with me by august and is still on track but the Volvo forums aren’t very active so I have no idea if anyone is actually receiving any c40/XC40 currently and what the lead time was? The poll on this t...

Re: Apple CarPlay in Software update V2.2

Pity it's a wired connection not Bluetooth for CarPlay. Also, does Google Maps on CarPlay give you the same charge points for EV?

Re: Harman Kardon stereo?

I find the sound from the sat nav really tinny and cheap and the other system sounds (eg phone ringtones) really disappointing. Also phone volume on hands free too quiet. Any suggestions anyone please? Thanks

Production fault - bump in bodywork

Reposted from general forum Aaagh!! Noticed the other day that I have a mark on the paintwork... It's at the back on the left corner of the car about 10 cm below the lights, a small bump obviously caused from the inside of the car. Only that there is no access to that part of the car from the boot -...

TuneIn App

Downloaded the TuneIn app successfully and created a hotspot in the car using my iPhone. All going well until yesterday when - after working perfectly for two or three days - I could no longer play BBC radio stations on the app. TuneIn tell me they're aware that Volvo/Sensus are unable to play the a...

Re: MPG - Again :-)

Hi GerVO

So your display language is Dutch - presumably you're in NL or my bit of BE? Good to see your statistics - which driving profile did you use? Lots of ECO I suppose? Got my T4 last week and I'm on 11.5 litres so far, so I'm hoping to get closer to your figure in time.

Re: MPG - Again :-)

Hi again, cheers for the feedback. I've switched to using eco driving mode all the time now and so my average has improved for that reason, but I can see that mpg also improved over time for (almost?) everyone here so I'm going to have to be patient. I think the numbers displayed are part of my prob...

Re: MPG - Again :-)

Took delivery of my T4 AWD R-Design yesterday and MPG is already a real concern. Just been out at lunchtime in town and it did 21 mpg, admittedly with lots of starting and stopping, but my previous BMW X3 - heavier, manual gearbox - would have beaten that. From other posts it seems like mpg will imp...
