Re: Polestar

Thank you pjm007 for the D4 Polestar information, I found it all very useful. My First Edition D4 is due the beginning of October and I'm giving serious consideration to the Polestar upgrade. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

Re: Knocking Noise From Cold Start

On a few occasions now, after starting the car from a cold start (parked over night), I hear this knocking noise coming from what seems like the vents or hood area of the car. It goes away after a few minutes but it's definitely noticeable. Anyone else have this? Probably OK if it is a diesel engin...

Big Blue looks beautiful on holiday.
As a guess Big Blue is in Alnmouth, Northumberland a very pleasant part of the country.

Re: A few days driving plus advice...

I do hope the seats are OK, I think all my previous volvos have had superb seats. I know the xc40's are a little thinner in construction, compared to an XC60 Seats are nowhere near the quality of the new XC60 R-Design seats. They're ok, but I got some stresses and strains around my back and under t...

Re: Polestar

I'm also interested in any information on Polestar for a D4 Diesel XC40 FE should it be available ie, cost, performance enhancement, etc. ? I understand Dealers can install Polestar, but as my build date is not until September, can it be done at the factory in Ghent ? -------------------------------...

Re: Oscar For Best Dealership Award?

I'm just agreeing with you they must be an excellent Dealership, especially when they are able to provide customers with XC40's without the usual long delivery delay being endured by the vast majority of Forum Members. Though there are genuine XC40 cancellations, it is good to know VCUK are imposing...

Re: Oscar For Best Dealership Award?

I would have been delighted with my Dealer if I had placed an order like yourself for a T3 Momentum Pro on the 3rd May, subsequently changing the order to a First Edition, which was then delivered on the 2nd June. A First Edition delivered within a calendar month of placing a XC40 order, what an inc...

Re: Volvo UK customer care - USELESS

Good advice and evaluation of the XC40 situation Shaenei . I was annoyed when I discovered (not informed) my delivery date had been changed from May to October. Contacting VCUK Customer Care and getting angry does not change anything. If you want the car, you have to accept Volvo do have a problem t...
