Re: Synchronising climate

Thanks Eugen,
I’ll try that although I have reset my profile. Seems as though anything can happen with an XC40! :D

Synchronising climate

Hi, my car recently had its first service. I’ve noticed over the last few days that I cannot synchronise the temperature for driver and passenger . The ‘synchronise’ button is greyed out on the screen and a verbal command only works on the driver’s side. Small problem but irritating. Has anyone had ...

Re: 3 SIM card with legs

Feeling rather dim. My Vodafone sim will run out next month. Which 3 SIM card would be the best value to replace it? Thanks for advice.

Re: What irritates you about your Volvo XC 40?

The no lights on indicator is a real pain and is the same on my wife’s V40. Difficult to know in a dimly lit tunnel whether you can be seen. Is this a Volvo peculiarity?

Re: Wash, Polish and Wax

Like others, I suffer from the scourge of birdlime . I've used Halfords Bug and Tar Remover to reasonable effect but some of the more concrete deposits are difficult without a soaked paper towel in situ for a couple of minutes and a careful use of a plastic screen scraper. I use Autoglym Aquawax on ...

Re: T3 or T4? Did I made a mistake with T3?

Still only managed just over 700 miles , mainly very short trips, in my T3 RDesign -lockdown! So far very impressed with the engine. Computer reads at just over 40mpg so if accurate I reckon that's pretty good at this early stage.

Re: Volvo £250 Excess Return Voucher

I haven't used Volvo insurance as, like others, I found them to be expensive . However, three years ago I pranged the front of my V40. The insurer (Saga) offered me local repairers who weren't Volvo affiliated . As I was aware of the issue around genuine Volvo spare parts I asked if I could use the ...

Re: Driving Modes

Interesting that you should say that. When planning to buy I originally thought I'd continue with manual diesel but didn't find it satisfying. I tried petrol auto and diesel auto and was feeling quite disappointed. The sales person suggested petrol manual and I somewhat reluctantly gave it a go. Som...

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

Well, finally after nearly 3 months ,managed to get a decent journey in. Having driven diesels for the past 6 years I was very surprised to discover my new T3 returned 45 mpg on a 150 mile round trip, exceeding my low expectations.This was truly mixed driving including stop-start around SW London. S...
