Re: Goodbye Volvo XC40

I think he was referring to the sales pitch from you know who?!! :D

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

They are talking about mild-hybrids.

Re: Is This a Good Way to Buy a Volvo

Was wondering how you were getting on with the new car. As you had a mild hybrid before I guess that you don't find the driving experience that much different? Did your previous car have Sensus? If so how are you finding AAOS? As for the squealing brakes someone mentioned this on another thread so i...

Re: AAOS 2.14.3

Have you had a quote for insurance as Toyota/Lexus were featured on Watchdog this evening for the ease with which they can be stolen? I assume this has been addressed with the latest cars though?

Re: XC40 B3 Core misfire repeat problems / reduced power / Engine Mgmt light (2023 registration)

I do find the advice from the dealer to the OP to run the car at higher revs now and then to be questionable. As you say, beneficial for the GPF but not for deposits on the inlet valves as increased temperature won't be enough to burn the deposits off and may infact bake them on harder. I know that ...

Can't argue with that and will certainly consider one when looking next time.

Re: Front Parking Sensors

If the driver's display looks good it's Sensus, if it's crap it's Android!

Seriously, if you have Google maps as the default sat nav, amongst other things, it's Android.

Re: AAOS 2.14.3

Seemed Ok this morning but it still niggles me. I may have needed the sat nav yesterday and wouldn't have been able to access it and I don't know if a reset would have rectified it, and why should I have to anyway. I bought a new car to minimize the chances of problems and be covered by warranty if ...

Re: Undocumented symbol on driver display - white car

In mine it is to do with seatbelts. When I first get in and start the car I have the large icon in the middle of the display. When I hit Ok it changes to a small white icon at the top right of the display with my seat in red, when I put the seat belt on the red disappears and it's all white. Is this...
