Re: New member but not new to XC40

Figbat, I sort of feel the same as you, but would rather have a system that was just starting out than one that is end of life and no longer supported. AAOS is being adopted in part and in full by a number of big manufacturers, Ford and BMW to name two. So, expectation is the system will be signifi...

Re: Help Please - Which XC40?

My D4 has 18k on the clock so I’m averaging 4.5k per year. I use the Fuelly app and that’s telling me my average mpg is 38.0mpg, best ever is 50.4mpg. All records are full tank top-ups. I’m light footed and use economy mode 99% of the time. Vast majority of my round trips are <25miles. I’ve learnt t...

Re: Brake Light Malfunction warning message

I read in your LED bulb description: “please note some cars might require extra load resistors if they blink (flash) too fast or show errors in your car dashboard.” So the problem might not be with the bulb… It worked perfectly for 4 years without a load resistor before suddenly failing. I may put ...

Re: Brake Light Malfunction warning message

Cheers eugen61! The lamps I ordered on Amazon back in 2018 are no longer available so I’ll have to research an alternative that will work in the xc40.

Brake Light Malfunction warning message

I’ve just had this message flash up when starting my car. I’ve checked the near side brake lamp and it flashes very fast when I press the brake pedal. I’ve removed the lamp and I’m about to order a new one but have a question first. The lamp I have removed is an led one. 56641A28-92ED-497C-8BFA-4459...

Re: XC 40 B5 AWD Plus stop safely power steering failure

When I bought my previous car, Skoda Superb L&K with about £3k of extras, I got a 27% discount from a local dealer through Car Wow. I bet those sorts of discounts are long gone…

Re: Glovebox lock

I've got about 6 months left on the PCP and will be paying off the balance of £18k. I think this may be the first time in which the car will be worth more than the guaranteed value following a run of VWs and Audis! Yes, I've been thinking about returning to Skoda again. Trouble is I love the XC40 a...

Re: USB Media

The Sensus system in my XC40 always remembers the last track played unless I remove/replace the usb stick. I don’t know if it’s significant but I turned off the gracenote option on the first day I got the car. I spent weeks getting the metadata for each track just how I want it, I’ve not had any pro...
