Re: Steering wheel judder
Could be ABS kicking in if on wet roads and you don't have much tread left on your tyres. I have around 2.5mm of tread on my tyres and have noticed it happen a couple of times lately too and just assumed it was that.

Re: Free NewMotion charger installation...
I bought my car (selekt so also eligible for the free charger) over 3 months ago and despite chasing numerous times still do not have an install date from NewMotion. I’ve bought a waterproof extension lead which I permanently leave outside by the drive and charge with the 3 pin plug at present. A bi...

Re: Sorry if this is a dumb question... T4 recharge power loss when battery depleted
When the battery is completely depleted the only difference I notice (and this is in stop start traffic) is that I can hear the engine idling / running. The only time I’ve ever had a loss of power is when fast accelerating in battery mode and the speed hits 60mph which is when the car takes a second...

Re: Sorry if this is a dumb question... T4 recharge power loss when battery depleted
Firstly I hope your dad is ok. As you may guess from my username I have a T4 recharge and have never experienced a loss of power or the car struggling as you describe. Perhaps there is a fault of some sort on his car.

Re: Vodafone SIM setup crib sheet
This is a handy crib sheet - thanks for sharing. Worth noting before attempting these steps, if like me your dealer forgot to install the SIM and posted one to you, you need to: 1. Install the SIM in the boot (plenty of videos/instructions on how to do this) 2. Start the engine 3. Go to Settings -> ...

Re: Free Home Charger - Newmotion
I bought my Volvo (second hand) at the start of June this year and am still waiting to hear an install date from NewMotion.
I've chased multiple times, but they are just quite slow it seems.
Out of interest where did you hear of this new NewMotion charger please?
Cheers

Re: Apple CarPlay Questions…
Hmm, I bought a Selekt XC40 in June 2021 - it was first registered in Dec 2020. I have three questions: 1. Should my Volvo have come with a SIM installed? (It was previously used for demos and courtesy car at the dealership) 2. If so, can I get the SIM from any Volvo dealership, or would I have to g...

Re: VOC aka Volvo Cars App
I also can't add a schedule timer. I suspect the comment is referring to the fact you can see how long it will take to get to 100% charge within the app, whereas in the old version you couldn't

Re: Floor Mats
Mine came with the carpet ones which I find dirt and stuff tends to stick to, so I bought a set of official volvo rubber (I think they are technically plastic) ones on eBay for around £50 or so. If you are not sure which ones you need for your car you can call your local dealership and ask for the p...

Re: Spare wheel
Thanks Felindre for the detailed and useful information. Just to close this one out with information for anyone else looking to add a spare wheel, it is different for Recharge PHEV versions than the mild hybrid versions. In short, the battery is bigger, so you need the foam block to go underneath it...
