Re: Creaking in the heat
In this heat I like the way you can activate the Parking Climate facility and cool down the car before you get into it. Best to activate it 15 to 30 mins before you get in. Wary of the battery use though, but no problems so far. Yes, I did that yesterday but it didn’t make a whole lot of difference...

Re: Damaged rear tyre - Replace 1 or 2 tyres?
You're right there..but different tyres may be fitted either by Volvo for different markets or users could change their own tyres to those that are rotation direction specific. Always best to check. Well yes, you're quite correct. But your advice to the original poster was about Michelin Primacy 4s.

Re: Damaged rear tyre - Replace 1 or 2 tyres?
Why do you say the tyre will only fit one side. I don't think the tyres are limited to one side - they don't have a rotation arrow present, only an "outside" indicator. Just referring to what the user manual says - Page 531. Tyres that are designed to rotate in one direction may be fitted...

Re: Damaged rear tyre - Replace 1 or 2 tyres?
I've had a look in the XC40 user manual and there is nothing to say both tyres on the axle should be replaced. However they do say the same make should be on the car. Your tyres at 10K at mid life...you could change both and keep the OK one as a spare in case you get another puncture? But then it w...

Re: Rear Head restraints
Nope, in the XC40 doesn’t work the way you describe it. With folded rear seats AND unfolded head rest you can no longer move the front seat all the way back, you loose 2” of legroom. Well I'm just glad I have the XC40 that I have. Perhaps I'll be able to sell it eventually as a one-off limited edit...

Re: Rear Head restraints
I also find it bizarre that rear head restraint folding is no longer a standard feature in the MY21. As already pointed out, tall drivers will have to move forward the seat in order to accommodate rear seats folding. I’m 6’ 3” tall and my driving position requires the seat to be all the way back, I...
