Re: CrossClimate 2's

I read about passive frequency adaptive dampers - possibly only on MY25? Anyone know if MY24 have them too? Only MY25 and only Ultimate trim gets those dampers. I didn’t realise there are mechanical differences in the current models, but maybe happy we’ve ordered an Ultra model. Thanks for pointing...

Re: CrossClimate 2's

As I've posted elsewhere, I've had new strut top mounts fitted and on their second attempt, they said the spring seats were fitted incorrectly (from manufacture). Each time, it's seemed to be 'fixed' but after a couple of days I still hear it from time to time Unfortunately, an incorrectly fitted s...

Re: CrossClimate 2's

Generally, a summer tire will feel more rigid and noisy than CC2 in cold weather, so changing tires this time of the year might not solve your problem. Did you try lowering tire pressure to comfort value instead of eco value? Driving on 41 psi might be good for range, but definitely won’t help with ...

Re: Cap-less petrol tank

There are so many people on this forum who won't take a single word of criticism against their beloved cars. It's pathetic. All keyboard warriors with bad tempers. If you don't like the subject matter then why not butt-out? Just an idea. If you don’t like the replies to your subject matter then why...

Re: Used XC40

The T3 has a 1.5 liter, 3-cylinder engine, whereas the T4 (and B4) has a 2.0 liter, 4-cylinder engine. Initially, I was set on ordering the T3, but after test driving both, the T4 felt significantly smoother, quieter, and better balanced. In the end, despite its higher price, I decided to order the ...

You must have gotten a stock car that was already built. Delivery for customized orders with optional equipment can take several months.

Re: Major AAOS upgrade in 2025

Can BT Android Auto be added down the line or would the car need different hardware? Future cars might get it but the older ones might not? Wireless Android Auto / Apple CarPlay use WiFi to connect and transmit data to the car. So far, EX30, EX90 and the new XC90 have wireless Apple CarPlay, but no...

Re: Major AAOS upgrade in 2025

His point is he doesn't NEED to do this, but he may be FORCED to, because some programmer has decided he likes it differently. I was trying to make the same point. This could be an easier solution than hating the car and selling it just because the center display no longer looks the same as when he...
