Re: Keyless restart after stalling.

I loaned a v40 which was keyless and had start/stop, you just depressed the clutch in that too if it stalled and the engined restarted automatically. I cant confirm that's the case in the xc40 but the manual seems to suggest so.

Re: Stop-start not working properly in auto hold

Tried to press the brake harder today when stopping. It seemed to improve it a bit but was still restarting occasionally on release :/ I guess there is a fault. There have been a few post (including mine) where the stop start battery has failed fault in the manufacture i would suggest, mine has been...

Re: Stop-start not working properly in auto hold

Are you using the speed limiter? There's a bug* with the system where the engine restarts immediately when the brake pedal is released in auto-hold if the speed limiter is active. * I say "bug", Volvo told my dealer it's meant to happen but declined to provide a reason. Thanks for the sug...

Stop-start not working properly in auto hold

Hi, I seem to have an issue with start-stop whilst in the auto-hold mode. Most of the time when I lift my foot off the brake pedal the engine stays switched off until I press the accelerator. However, every now and again when releasing the brake pedal the engine switches back on before I press the a...

Re: T5 AWD Fuel Economy - what are you getting?

I've done 792 miles in my T5, currently averaging 33.2 mpg according to Volvo on call. Very happy with that, particularly if it will improve with increasing mileage. This is mostly commuting on motorway 48 miles per day between Manchester and Warrington with heavy traffic at both ends and city drivi...

Re: Volvo XC40 Discounts

It's really helpful if anyone posting discounts can say whether they paid cash or PCP/lease. The nominal discounts are often higher on credit terms but presumably recouped by Volvo etc within some 'hidden' element of the extra cost of credit (eg APR 0.5% higher than it would be otherwise). My 7% di...

Re: Tyres

Just ordered a full set of cross climates (235/50/19) for mine. Went out in the first batch of snow on Friday and was a little disappointed. I’d been debating for a while so have now taken the plunge. Funnily enough when I ordered today they were the cheapest I’ve seen them and through Kwik Fit. Go...

Re: Delivery Date

Don't know whether I was just lucky or whether they are sorting out their act but my order/delivery dates were pretty reasonable and I had selected pretty much all the options.

Re: Can't find a D3 to test drive anywhere!

Hi,

When I ordered my xc40 at Stockport Volvo the demo car was a D3 momentum. Have you tried them?
