Re: Top Mount for front struts

If the top mounts are an issue, and are not fit for purpose, judging by the amount of contributors on this forum who are having an issue, why is it not all having an issue? My previous XC40 was 4.5 years old and had done 36k miles, but never did I have a squeak or any other noise; as described in th...

Re: Service Plan for XC40 BEV

My first service is not due until next October, with it being every 2 years ( already a saving on ICE). What exactly do they do when serving, to warrant the cost of a service plan, when required.

Re: Despite all the tech I drove through a hedge today!!

The technology is generally described as safety aids, the clue being in the title aids. As pointed earlier in this thread we drive the car, and the technology is there as a back up. That said, I have no issues at all with the technology, and the cross traffic alert is excellent, particularly when id...

Re: Cabin Temperature Display

Not something that is really a dealbreaker..is it? That said, if it something you really require, eugen61 Dad’s idea would do the job.

Aside from pretty pictures, does radio still work after update. 😂😂

Re: Volvo / AAOS Software 3.2.8

Since I got my car in July, have only had one update which was 3.1.9, and nothing since apart from 3.2.4 which appears to have been aborted. No dealer update, as service not due until next year. I know couple updates are late 24 models only, so won’t get them. All working fine with car, so probably ...

Re: Servicing Costs

I took out a third party 5yr service plan with EMAC, arranged through the Volvo dealer, when the free 3yr servicing deal ran out. The work to be done in each yearly service was detailed in the contract. I paid £40 pcm. I cancelled it after the car was serviced this year as I’m trading it in so I’d ...

Re: Performance Mode

Does it increase acceleration? If so, did it really need it. With a 0-62 time of just over 4 seconds as standard, not sure why it needs to be any quicker. I have the single motor with a time of just over 7 seconds to hit 62 ( feels even quicker), and find that plenty quick enough for what is basical...
