My misses ordered it after finding disappointing VAG’s pricing and wanting something similar with Volvo’s build and interior quality in a smaller size SUV. LBX is loaded with safety features, has a ...

Re: Xc40 broken into without key

Finally Volvo started to implement 2FA for ID login, I got this message in my Volvo Cars app. Is anyone already upgraded to 2FA login?

Re: Car choices on a budget?

Just make sure T2 has automatic gearbox since T2/T3 manual gearbox is known for clutch issues that require expensive servicing. Regarding your questions, MY2020 or earlier would be preferable and 360 camera can’t t be retrofitted.

Re: Engine Replacement Nightmare

Hi, A similar thing has just happened to me. Looks like the timing belt has snapped causing engine damage. Out of warranty by 6 months. When you say horrendous cost would you mind giving a ballpark figure, I am yet to receive a quote. What model year, engine designation and mileage does the car hav...

Re: Car choices on a budget?

All the T4 I saw are PHEV (does T4 designate PHEV model??) . I remember someone told me, as I'm a beginner, I shouldn't touch PHEV as they have even more motors/engines to maintain. Is it true? Another question is, what is the actual range on electric motor of your PHEV that you have experienced? I...

Re: Car choices on a budget?

I have MY2020 T4 FWD Momentum Pro. I’m very happy with my car, couple of problems were solved during warranty early on and I’m enjoying a worry free motoring. See my opinion on your questions bellow. - Is a four-year-old XC40 still worth its weight in gold? During the last 4 years new cars got more ...

Otherwise you would be breaking the law if you have to do it by touching the phone wouldn’t you?
