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

Doesn't inspire any confidence in Volvo having a real handle on what exactly the problem is with throwing replacement parts at it i.e. multiple spark plug changes, oil and filter changes (can't get my head round that!) along with injectors.

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

The car is almost new so that shouldn't be a problem. Gripross are you trying to use Hey Google to find the station? If so, I had a similar problem and it was telling me to download an app, not Reo though. Gave up in the end and as I mainly listen to Radio 2 DAB I just select it manually from the ce...

Re: Warning displays that don't show on the manual?

Re: Bird Muck

Bit OTT. If the deposits haven't been on for too long then just car shampoo works just fine allowing time to soften.
