I ordered my XC40 B4 FWD Ultimate, fljord blue, mid October 2022 (UK). It was scheduled to arrive in April. It arrived on 10 July 2023, but it is worth the wait

Re: Braking Noise and Parking Brake issue

I had started a new thread relating to this subject. I have a new XC40 B4 FWD since 3 weeks. I thought there was something wrong with the brakes and contacted the Volvo dealer. I went round the block with the Volvo mechanic and he immediately knew what the source of the noise was when he heard it du...

B4 mild hybrid noise

3 weeks ago I exchanged my trusted XC40 T4 FWD ultimate for a new B4 mild hybrid ultimate XC40. Very pleased with the new one, shame it was not available as a AWD. The mild hybrid system can be noisy while braking, a semi high pitch tone (Not sure this describes it properly). It is louder than a con...

Re: my xc40 is 2 weeks from the lease expiring

Why blame the loyal customer for the delay with the huge costs associated with it? I feel i am compromised by the loyalty to vo...

Re: my xc40 is 2 weeks from the lease expiring

I wish it was like that. The lease does not include service and MOT. Now it is in the small print i receive "last minute". Had i been warned in writing a month or 2 ago i would agree. I had a Merc before the XC40 and that was worse (Much worse!). Still think it is ultra sharp practice. Nex...

Re: Start Stop Battery Replacement

I had this start-stop battery replaced at the 3rd service just before the warranty expired. It regretfully became an argument with volvo, but after persisting they replaced it. A shame it was like that. However, I ordered the next one, due april 23 :)

Re: MY24

Just received an email from Volvo to supply details for the new lease. Are they really like morons and not even look at customer records? I declined to supply deltails, as if the 4 year lease did not provide suffient info to Volvo. It seemed i was never even a Volvo customer if the "!Vlovo sale...
