Re: Brake discs excessive wear ?

They are poor Quality because they are not covered under the warranty and are a cash cow for the dealers IMHO.

Re: Sensus Map 1380 now available...

I agree with you ropetko the mapping on Sensus is very poor and doesn’t inspire confidence, after 3 years of waiting for it to get better I gave up and had smartphone integration installed so now I have Waze and TomTom Go to rely on.

Re: Rattle passenger side

I know this sounds unlikely but in my case after months of searching I realised I only happened when I was tuned in to a DAB station with a week signal and was coming from the tweeter in the door, it sounded sounded like a muffled rattle which I assume is the signal fluttering in and out. I hope you...

Re: Remote starting issue

I am the sole user of the app and I was logged out at the time. The dealer said this is the first they had heard of this happening and offered no explanation as to why it may have happened.

Remote starting issue

This evening my car started while parked on my drive without any input form me, I checked the app on my phone and it indicated that the engine was not running so I had to stop it manually. I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen to them.
I will contact Volvo for an explanation

Re: New map update out

I think that like me some people hope that with each update the mapping will get a little better, but sadly in the nearly 3 years I’ve owned my car there has been little or no improvement.

Re: On Call / SOS buttons - ever used them?

I’ve been unfortunate enough to have used the On call button 3 times over my 2years of ownership. 1) A pot hole blow out ( no spare wheel) 2) a break down ( fuel pump failure) 3) a rear shunt at a junction On each occasion the response was very fast and effective. It a great service and is very reas...

Re: Dashboard noise hunting... what’s this?

Hi, I have something that sounds very similar on my car and after a lot of hunting for it’s origin I realised it was only there when I was listening to a DAB station on the radio in a weak signal spot, try turning off the radio next time you hear it.
