Re: Driving off after remote start

I agree with you about Diesels and I remember the lies we were told about moving from evil Petrol vehicles to saintly Diesels. Remember the financial incentives we were given to scrap our petrol cars and replace them with a Diesel variant? Nothing changes and our government takes us for idiots. BEVs...

Re: Driving off after remote start

Trouble is with BEVs, the only choice we'll have soon, you have to choose between reaching your destination or keeping your hands warm!

Re: Driving off after remote start

I've really missed the heated screen this last week on the XC60. I wouldn't buy a car now without a heated screen and steering wheel!

Yes, flatbed recovery truck for the 160 mile journey. Enterprise picking up the rental Monday.
Well, I've done my bit saving the planet with the PHEV. Although I did charge the battery from the engine 😂.

Re: Driving off after remote start

Mine simply Starts as expected when running on Remote Start. Holding Foot on Brake and one press of the Start Button and it reverts to normal operation. I suggest that if yours doesn't then it needs attention.

Re: Low Coolant Level

Car delivered back home this morning, all washed and vacuumed. So far everything good. And a thank you to Stoneacre Stockton.
Regards the XC60 T8 rental I can honestly say I don't like it. And I really can't see the point of PHEV. Electric or ICE I wouldn't touch a PHEV

Any direct connection to the electrical system can be deemed to invalidate the warranty unless installed by a Volvo approved technician
