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?

Perhaps there was a bug of some description flapping around inside the car and triggered the alarm...

Hi Joss,

Thanks for the tip. I might just contact him to take a look - or maybe wait until its next service at the end of February, as it's not a major problem.

Re: VOC app

The last time I tried to specify a tracker on a new car, the salesman told me it wasn't worth it as car thieves know where trackers are hidden on all the cars they take and remove them very soon after the theft. I was amazed that he didn't just take my money and congratulate me on a wise choice!

The only problem I've had (irritation, really) is that if I leave the radi...
