Re: Rear interior light solution

I asked the dealer if there was a solution in order to place 2 side lights in the back. They have a solution: It would cost something between 700 and 1000 euros!!!! The worst part of this stupid situation by volvo, is that, when your are buying the car, you can never see that you do not have enough ...

Re: Start/Stop

Maybe is a bug, but mine never worked well for one year, and the problem was a faulty battery.
They replace it and now it works always.
Last week, when replacing the battery, all software updates were installed .
Ask your dealer to do a bettery check.

Re: Start/Stop

About keeping the foot on the brake.
You all are talking about cars with automatic gear box, right?
Mine, manual gear box, had all the updates and does not need to keep foot on the brake.

Re: Start/Stop

Finally got the car back. New battery and start/stop now works fine, even with air conditioning on. Today we had 35ºC :) The fact is that I've never forced a battery test during since I bought it and notice that start/stop did not work. Also be aware, a car assembled in 2019, with one year of life a...

Re: Auto stop start disabled

Now, after 1 year, battery shows 50% charge in VIDA test.
It will be replaced.
Maybe now Start/Stop will work.
Does anybody has problem with battery?

Re: Emissions Warning Light

Emissons warning light in my car is a companion for one and a half year.
Every 2 weeks its on.
First it was software tolerance to tigh.
Then was dismounted and reassembled.
Then then and then....
WIth the service blessing I use OBD2 to see if it is the same error code and then clear it.

Re: Auto stop start disabled

Start/Stop is a joke.
In one and a half years it happened less than 10 times.
Its so rare that when it happens I think I stalled the car.
If it is Summer its the cooler fault.
If it is Winter is the Heater fault.
In Spring and Autumm they use the same argument!!!

It is a fake addon.
