Re: Map Downloads Data Usage

My Vodafone SIM stopped on the cars first anniversary in October.

SIM removed. (About to buy the cheap deal three SIM)

Current map version is 1356, so no updates have been happening here since October.

Re: Brake judder

Is there an advantage to that? I would have thought that meant you’d effectively be accelerating and braking at the same time (when accelerating)? I’ve only ever used it to aid natural slowdown or when coasting downhill. What’s your fuel consumption like? The regenerative aspect of B mode only work...

Re: Brake judder

I agree, it's good that it's so widespread. For me it feels like for the briefest of moments, the car is aquaplaning/the brakes do nothing and then the pedal feel changes, and the brakes begin to work as they should. That's the feeling I can most closely liken it to, but it's not an aquaplane as it...

Re: Brake judder

Yep, had this with mine too. Usually it’s when braking quite lightly on slight declines, though I’m sure there have been other times. Not on every journey, but nevertheless very noticeable when it happens, more like a dragging/binding feeling for me than something like an ABS activation. I had until...

Re: VOC aka Volvo Cars App

The time to finish charge I’m finding most inaccurate. It seems to indicate way too fast initially, then continually review it until it eventually settles on a finish time which suggests over 4 hours. Usually around an hour overstated. So far, not much progress from when we last had charging times, ...

60mph, sharp intake of breath?

When reaching exactly 60mph, at the first attempt, on each and every journey, my PHEV reacts by what I can only describe as taking a sharp intake of breath. Basically a noticeable drop in speed before pick up. Like a slow gear change, but not. Same journey if I do it again, i.e. increase speed from ...

Re: Recharge help needed

I had the same issue to decide on a while back when I had the wall box installed with my last PHEV. There must be an assumption that no one uses a garage these days to actually put a car in. Anyway you’re right they are far too small for anything sized like an XC40 upwards. You’ll end up managing yo...

Re: Turtle icon - reduced performance

We had something similar, a lower speed slowing to a stop incident with turtle light. I don’t think the dealer could find anything wrong either, but flagged it up to Volvo UK, then Volvo Sweden, who authorised some sort of replacement part. No idea what. It’s been fine ever since. Sadly you are left...

Say three months and 1200 miles later, so far so good.
