Re: Screen reset

I've just talked to my dealer's service manager about this, as my car does it three or four starts in a row then is OK for a few weeks. He told me it is a known problem and there is a software update available to fix it. My car is booked in for the update next week. He's also going to sort out my pa...

Re: T3 Oil consumption

I had a new Vauxhall Cavalier many years ago and that used 1 litre of oil per thousand miles. The handbook (and garage) stated that was normal! My XC40 had its first service at about 3,000 miles back in March, when the oil was topped up (it was charged for, anyway) and it has done about 6,000 miles ...

Re: Map update 1360

I'm having the same problem - Download Centre says "No connection" and the map installation is paused. I've tried doing the download OTA, via USB, and by connecting the car to my home WIFI. Same thing every time. I gave up in the end and have booked the car in with the dealer next week, wh...

Re: ticktack blinker with a will of its own

A forum member reported a while ago that his dealer told him it was to stop you forgetting that the indicators were on. Mine do the same...and I haven't forgotten to cancel the indicators, so it must be true.

Re: Water leak!!

There are plastic gratings that get clogged, which I also ensure are kept clear.

Re: Water leak!!

I haven't had water ingress but I did notice when washing the car in the summer that the drain holes below the windscreen were blocked, so make a habit now of checking them regularly.

Re: New map update out

My update says "installing" when I turn on the car but then "paused" because Download Centre is reporting "no connection to the service". I have tried several suggestions on various forums and FAQs without success so, as per the Volvo website, and as it's been like it ...

Re: New map update out

My car has 1350 and claims there are no updates. I'm just downloading 1353 onto a USB stick on my PC now - there's 2.64GB, so perhaps it's considered too large for OTA installation?
