Re: What have you just found out about your XC40.

Just had the first full service. They must have done a software update because the screen information has changed. Where on my screen it used to have a "ready" symbol for the auto stop feature. This has now changed to an "A" symbol.

Re: Booking service via car

I have tried twice to book through the car it just messages your dealer, who then rings you. It does nothing that you cannot do with a phone call and does not get rid of the message to book a service whenever you start up.

Re: XC 40 Service Plan

Can anyone who has had the first service tell me if the oil is changed?

I know some manufacturers leave it for 2 years not something I would like on a car I intend to keep.

Re: Broken Tailgate Handle

Took my T4 in for them to look at a problem I was having with the stop start, while it was in there they also replaced parts of the tail gate handle fixing as a Volvo update apparently.

Re: Help needed on OEM roof bars

I think it makes the fixing more secure , reduces the slippage due to higher friction.

Re: Help needed on OEM roof bars

I think the OEM bars are in fact THULE bars rebadged, I have a set purchased for my V40 and with a new adaptor to use them with my XC40. They are simple to fit BUT I have used some old rubber inner tube as a layer between the clamps and the rails as they did scratch the rails on the V40.

Re: Auto stop/start question

I have been having the same problem with the stop start not kicking in even after a 300 mile run. I took her into the dealers who fitted a new secondary battery and while it worked as expected for a few weeks, it is now back to not working again even when using a battery optimiser when parked up.
