Re: Help Please - Which XC40?

I have a 2019 T4 AWD Auto and do a mix of short (5/10) and medium length (10/50) mile journeys. I agree that short length journeys are a killer on mpg but overall I am getting 38-40 mpg. Would probably call myself a non sporty driver and am happy with this mpg as I don't think mpg is the be all and ...

Re: Winter tyres

I'm writer of the original post. As John says, location and geography have a big influence. I stay in the Cairngorm National Park and have to cope with very changeable weather and road conditions. I can't be faffed with having my tyres changed twice a year, apart from the cost (2x£80), hence cross c...

Re: Winter tyres

Update on my original post of 4/12/21 As mentioned earlier my car was supplied with Pirelli P Zero tyres which gave me no confidence in wintry conditions. Considering that safety was a major consideration why I bought a Volvo, I realised that although these tyres still had about 6mm of tread left, i...

Locking wheel nuts

I have unfortunately lost my key for the locking wheel nuts. The car was supplied with the locking wheel nuts, key for same and the four original normal wheel nuts. The Volvo main dealer has told me that all Volvos are fitted with locking wheel nuts when they arrive in the UK. I advised the main dea...

Sensus navigation

I have ave used sensus a few times now, have got the hang of it and found it fairly simple and satisfactory for my needs. For the first time yesterday I wanted to put in a "via" location and could not discover how. Am I missing something? Is it not available? Is there a work around?

Eco Mode

Most of my driving is on a mix of A class urban and rural roads and not on dual carriageways or motorways. I am very much aware that mpg is seriously affected by how you drive, type of roadway and length of journey. However, whilst trying to drive on similar routes in the same manner, I have found t...

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

I have loaded up a USB with 20-30 albums of music. When I play the usb it plays all the tracks in alphabetical order rather than album order. I am having little success using voice commands to play particular albums or artists but it's perhaps my accent!! Do others have success when asking for parti...
