Re: Is the XC40 a noisy car?

I had a test drive in a first edition diesel, found it very quiet for a diesel with minimal road noise, however when I took delivery of my T5 first edition the first thing I noticed was the very loud ( in my opinion ) tyre noise compared with my test drive.

Re: Engine misfires on start up

Occasionally my T5 can misfire first thing on a morning when starting, but doesn’t do it all the time and only for a few seconds, and never again during the same day, will mention it to my dealer next time I’m passing see if they have any updates

Re: Roof noise with rain

Mine went in the other day for sunroof judder, they told me the technical bulletin says to try adjusting the roof first before replacing the whole cassette. Fingers crossed it seems to have resolved mine as changing the cassette is a major job with roof lining etc all needing to be removed to replac...

Re: New Volvo (XC40) user. T4 or T5

My average with mixed driving is 33.4mpg with my T5 so if there is so little difference in economy I would go for the T5 every time, nice to have the power when needed, plus the engine is not working quite as hard.

Re: Getting rid of XC40

I agree with the last 2 posts All car manufacturers have Friday afternoon cars, I know from experience. I bought one of the first Jaguar F paces collected it from the factory and after a few months of issues rejected it. I then bought the new Peugeot 3008, again after numerous issues, I rejected it ...

Re: Vibrations @55-80mph

You could always pay for an independent car inspection then threaten them with legal action if they don’t resolve it, ie refund or exchange vehicle. I know a couple of people who did it with Jaguar F Pace with success. Luckily I managed to get Jaguar to take mine back and refund me before it got to ...
