Re: Bit’s still missing

The best option I have on my B4 awd is the climate pack, with remote start, which allows me to get into a warm car and clear front and rear screens.

Re: Volvo Selekt Oxford

Unbelievable that it was presented for sale with scratches. You don't get a second chance to make a first impression. Walk away.

Re: DPF regen

When I had my D3, I used to have a run around 3000rpm for 15 minutes every week or so. This prevented any excess oil reading on the gauge, which did occur when the car was new, and revs were kept low. Thanks How did you know it was excess oil, i though they didnt have oil stick or was it indicated ...

Re: Oil Level Issues - Continued

Bring back the dipstick. These electronic sensors that take a few miles to re- calibrate are a complicated backward step in my opinion.

Screen switched off

I was driving in town yesterday, and the screen suddenly turned off, then a second or two later turned on again. This happened again about 1 minute later. Engine did not stop thankfully. Its a B4 awd, and previously I had a D3R. Has this happened to anyone else?

If you have a service plan, your car can be serviced at any Volvo dealership.

Re: Is the interior of the XC40 too dark without a sunroof?

I've had both, a D3R with, and now a B4awd without. I never used the sunroof and quite happy to be without it. It not too dark.

Re: VOLVO XC40 B4 MHEV - NO WAY TO DISABLE START/STOP

I always disabled it on my D3R diesel, but very happy with it on my B4awd. Very smooth.
