Re: Wheels 19 or 20 inch

At the end of the day its your choice. Do you prefer the look of 20s over a bit better comfort and better off road of 18s.

Re: Wheels 19 or 20 inch

Re: C40 Recharge - new Volvo model

I thought that I had read it was to be a bit cheaper and come in just below the £50k to get £3K grant. The other announcement was that Volvo are doing a Tesla and all sales will move on line with limited options and set prices. I am more concerned about that. I like dealing with local dealers and be...

Re: Boot liner

I've had a Volvo boot liner since new. Very happy with it and it takes a pounding with filthy fishing waders, boots and fishing tackle. It feels light and fairly flimsy but works well and is easy to remove and clean as its so light. A couple of minutes under the jet washer and its clean and dry in a...

Re: XC40 2.0 B4 FWD mpg issues

Mine is a diesel so not comparable, D4 R Design AWD. However as others have said the mileage was awful at first and slowly improved as I reached and then passed 10,000. Now over 20.000 I regularly get 40 plus despite never using Eco mode and not hanging about. This is actually better than my previou...

Re: Spare wheel

I'm obviously the odd one out. Had a space saver in my previous car and found it a waste of time. Had to call out help to change it and then restricted to slow speed on a long journey. Didn't bother with one on XC40 and I did have massive puncture. But Volvo assist got me a truck which took me strai...

Re: Beware - My signal blocking pouch failed.

Interesting thread. One of the reasons I didn't choose a model with keyless entry. I don't see the point as its easy to push a button.

Re: Remote Start

Iggy I am sure you are right and your copy explains heated seats which I don't have but I still cant find how to get climate/AC/heating to come on with remote start. If you can find it I would be eternally grateful!

Re: Remote Start

Couldn't agree more. I have poured over manual (if you can pour over on screen) and cant find how to set climate to come on using remote start. I know it won't fully warm car. But starting manually with climate on and leaving for 15 minutes is far warmer than using remote start and having climate sw...
