Re: 3 month service/check up

Hi. Basically same story as you. Just had the three month check and software update this week. I don't mind the lighting or the reversing lamp but I 100% agree with the auto pilot being tuned too far left. It does stop me using it which seems a shame. Thus I'd like to know about the re-calibration t...

Re: Remote start activates alarm

I don’t see how the car can know which key is about to use the car, when it’s been remote started by the app? Therefore it shouldn’t be adjusting seat settings etc until the key is actually used to unlock the car, at which time the alarm is disabled. Yes, logical. I don't disagree. The plot thicken...

Re: Remote start activates alarm

I have had same problem. I *think* I worked out it might have been because my partner used it last (with seat settings etc attached to their key) and then when I remote start it moves the seat and thus triggers the alarm. I've mentioned it to Volvo and they had absolutely no clue though. But I can r...

Re: For those still waiting - what other car would tempt you to cut your losses?

For the record I am glad I waited. I had a seven month wait during which I completely went off the idea of the XC40 at all and came very close to giving my order to a friend. But now I have it and have done 1000 miles I am hugely pleased. My alternative would have been the e-pace or x2, both of whic...

Re: ESC warning light

I have my D4 now and this is happening to me. I have taken it back to the dealer to be checked, they said their read out said it was "improbable input" from the pedals and said it was fine and nothing to worry about. (the error had gone by the time I had my appointment at the dealer) Howev...

D4 First Edition finally collected. Pics

Ordered March 14th and finally collected today from Paul Rigby Stourbridge. Loved having a play with all the settings available and my first 40 miles or so were a joy. The heated steering wheel is my favourite thing so far. p39IVMYURhuqX%0pcQchig.jpg aBgrlLrsTV24%11gYYsB3A.jpg IMG_4303.jpg IMG_4286....

Re: Polestar

So having collected the car I mentioned in the above post I actually can confidently say that both myself and partner think the car feels quicker than we remembered and gear change seems sharper. Ride overall still very quiet and refined but under a heavier foot there is some real power there.

Re: Polestar

I test drove my XC40 D4 AWS back in March and I collect it tomorrow with the Polestar added already. I honestly don't think I will be able to tell the difference after all this time, I just wanted the best performance I could get and the upgrade price over the summer didn't seem too bad so I went fo...

Re: Potential owner with some Qs

I’d lean towards a D4 and look at the Polestar upgrade if you want every bit of torque possible. There’s a big thread on here around that.
