Re: 2020 R Design Pro B4

We have a decent amount of scoring on our discs too at 22,000 miles. We live on the South Coast very near the sea, the discs get surface rust almost the second we park it up (which is normal, but exacerbated by the sea air). This can lead to scoring when it’s next driven, especially if it’s left for...

Re: A few questions on possible :- XC40 Plus B4 AWD mild hybrid

So, about 30L is 6.66 gallon About 600 mile = around 90mpg, so looks like your trip computer is pretty much there (providing the figures supplied are correct). 👍🏻 I’m glad you’re able to work it out.. I can’t even tell if we’re taking about American gallons or British ones…! 90mpg is a good bit hig...

Re: A few questions on possible :- XC40 Plus B4 AWD mild hybrid

XC40’s fuel tank capacity is 11.88 gal, starting with a full tank and driven 600 miles it will return 50.5 mpg. Something is very wrong with that trip computer... I suspect you are probably right about the trip computer: they’re pretty notoriously inaccurate from experience. However, it wasn’t empt...

Re: A few questions on possible :- XC40 Plus B4 AWD mild hybrid

Not sure what I’m doing different to everybody else. Also own an AWD B4P, but I easily average around 40mpg when driving in town. The car will virtually double that on a really decent motorway run. I’ve just finished a nearly 600-mile drive from Inverness. Trip computer says 11 hours driving time (t...

Re: Driving journal, Volvo app

routes are not drawn on map between A and B, and no statistics for trips on chart either. I had no idea that was even a thing.: I’ve often thought it was an oversight that the journal only showed start and end points rather than route, average speed, etc. Any idea how to turn it back on? I’d love t...

Re: Driving journal, Volvo app

Mine appears to have updated again this evening: it no longer thinks the car is active, or miles away (where it had been parked for a short while yesterday). The trio journal has the journeys we’ve done today, and I can remote start and unlock it again. All I’m now missing is the journeys we did yes...

Re: Driving journal, Volvo app

The exact same thing has happened to me today. This evening - whilst safely parked on the road outside / the app thought it was still in use, with the journal only showing up until around midday. I got in the car, started it, let it idle for a minute, and shut it off again. Now, it doesn’t think it’...

We have that. A sort of throbbing noise from the roof. Did you ever get to the bottom of it?

Thank you. Any chance of a quick photo? I can’t for the life of me see where it would go. Maybe I’ve lost the other one too!

Where has this piece of trim fallen off from?

Found loose in the driver side footwell this evening, I’ve clearly managed to knock or kick it off from somewhere under the steering column but cannot work out where. Alternatively, if anybody can post a couple of photographs from the underside of their steering column maybe I can work it out from t...
